Good pizza, friendly service, good atmosphere. The pizza dough, as explained by the staff, is not made with flour 00 like usual pizza but farina Petra, much more nutricious. If you like the napolitan style, with higher boarders I recommend. Very good tiramisu (not a lot of coffee which I prefer). They also have crodino (very Italian non alcoholic drink with a similar taste to aperol). They also have vegan options with rice milk mozzarella. I recommend to book in advance as on a Saturday evening it was full.
Cute little pizzeria in the Newington Green area, serving the best pizza around! From the classic Margherita to delicious Salsiccia & Friarielli, every bite tastes like heaven. Extremely nice staff, we will be back👍
A perfect dining experience here on Saturday evening. We turned up without a booking and they managed to squeeze us in on an extremely busy night. The service from start to finish was exceptional. Friendly, attentive and informative. Rarely experienced better service to be honest. The food was incredible, the special of ragu pizza especially is worth a mention - outstanding. Hopefully it becomes a staple on the regular menu. Nothing even remotely negative to say - wonderful!!

I went here to meet a friend for dinner with my 14 month old. We’d booked for 6.30pm but had to shift our booking to 7pm as my friend was running late. I’d tried to go here about 6 months earlier but they weren’t open for lunch.
According to my friend, they’d won a pizza festival (who even knew such things existed!) so we had high expectations! Knowing we had a little one with us, they’d set up our table with a high chair which was much appreciated. The menu has a lot of choice but we ended up choosing a couple of pizzas to share from their specials which changes every couple of months I believe.
We chose the garlic bread to start with (it’s vegan which is fab because my little one has a dairy allergy), plus two pizzas from the specials. One had a butternut squash base with goats cheese, tomato and basil, and the other had a garlicky green base with mozzarella, tomato and olives. I was happy to let my friend choose and while I wouldn’t have gone for the butternut squash one myself, it was delicious. They both were. Bases are thin and flavours are fresh and interesting. Couldn’t get enough of the crust dipping sauces - we went for the cheesy one and the garlic truffle Mayo. A lot of garlic was consumed that night!
The homemade limonata was refreshing and just sweet enough - I’m not a fan of really sugary drinks so this was perfect.
It took a while for our pizzas to arrive - but this was down to a lack of us realising that they were waiting for us to finish the garlic bread first (we were saving space for the main event!) We were also told in a very reasonable way that they needed our table and our booking was for a certain time only. The place is small and was quite quiet when we arrived but was definitely buzzing by the time we left.
It’s the small touches which really make a place and I loved that because they knew we were sharing the pizzas, they’d already halved them for us and plated them up.
Had a lovely meal and was pleased to have tried the food finally! Now I just need to go back for dessert!
Some say that I love pizza more than life itself... ("Oi, who said that!") But seriously, pizza is anything but a quick, simple meal, and it's way more than a Pizza Express or Domino's, that's for sure! Pizza should take time and involve quality. So when I say that Oi Vita is one of the best in London, I don't say it lightly. It's better than Franco Manca, it's better than Pizza Pilgrims. It's in a very small group of authentic pizzerias in London that do things right and have the settings and staff to match.
The garlic bread is to die for, the dips are made for dipping, and some of my favorite toppings are pork belly, nduja, and burrata. So I'd probably choose a pizza that has a little of that, or force your friends to get something different and steal a few slices for yourself 😉
You will not be disappointed. Grazie, Oi Vita.
I rate this the best pizza in the UK. Fresh high quality ingredients make all the difference. With Moretti on tap and great Italian wine options, you will feel like you have been transported to Naples.
The food was delicious! I could taste the high quality of each of the ingredients. Also, the customer service was outstanding! Definitely, it’s one of my favorites places in London! Thanks a lot!

Honestly best pizza in London hands down.
Ingredient sourcing feels top notch. Great tomatoes, excellent olives and the flour used must be specifically sourced.
Dough is great with high hydration resulting to a soft airy dough.
Order a margarita and let is surprise you.
Come here if you want one of the best experiences of Italy outside of the country, to eat real Neapolitan pizza. Words cannot describe the beauty of the food, and the staff are so friendly. The pizza is beyond amazing, and when I'm not there I question what pizza I'll eat on my next visit!?
N.B. I have been here 3 times so far...
I cannot forget about the atmosphere as it's so lovely and welcoming, everyone is unbelievably friendly and I now have a place to practice my Italian in future visits. You do Campania proud!
Ragazzi grazie mille per una delle migliori esperienze della mia vita. Mi ricorda la pizza di Salerno e Napoli ad ogni morso! 🇮🇹🍕💜
Super nice pizza place with lots of great vegan options, including vegan desserts! We had two of the vegan pizzas which had delicious flavour combinations and didn't use violife but a much more authentic brown rice mozzarella. We also had a tart and a sgroppino which I have missed since being in Italy! Plenty more to try though so we will have to be back soon!
The staff were also really lovely and friendly ❤️
