Vasiniko London

A slice of Naples right in the heart of London! Amazing, amazing pizza 👌This place is a strong contender for the best pizzeria in London. The Neapolitan pizza here rival some in Naples itself. I’m already looking forward to the next visit. Top-notch service, with the chefs and staff exuding warmth and polish. OneBite Score: 9.1/10

What a little gem near Covent Garden! Cosy interior and great food. The pizza we had was super thin in the middle and fluffy on the sides, with a very tasty dough. True Napoli style. Pasta carbonara was really good too, soaking in egg yolk and cheese mix. Finally, tiramistaccio – what a treat! Super tender and literally melting in your mouth. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates good Italian food!

The best pizza I’ve had in recent memory and perhaps my entire life. I had the nerano, my wife ordered the lasagna. The flavor was so fantastic and the crust was absolutely perfect. So soft and the char was just beautiful. I’ve been all around Italy and this stuck out more than any pizza from my travels there. 11/10.

My dad and I walked into Vasiniko after 6:30 on a Tuesday, with no reservation. We were seated right away. The menu is extensive and we were brought still water quickly. The restaurant is small but cozy and very brightly decorated. I'm allergic to milk and beef and it was easy to modify a pizza to split. We split the Nduja (red sauce, cheese, spicy Nduja Calabrese, sausage, basil) with vegan mozz and no dusted parmesan. I also got a server rec for a glass of Pinot Grigio, which was perfectly refreshing. The only slightest critique is that we ordered garlic focaccia as a starter and it came after our pizza. But the garlic was so flavorful, that our pizza crust nearly felt bland by comparison, so maybe the order worked! There is a small all-gender bathroom and windows that open for ventilation.

The pizza look spectacular but I think this place has been slightly overrated by reviewers. The food is decent, especially for what you typically find in such a touristy area but I would say from a purist perspective that it doesn’t meet the requirements entirely of Neopolitan pizza. The crust is too dominate on the pizza and too thick. This means you don’t get even cooking and the dough has some raw qualities in the thickest parts. If all (pretty much) you’re doing is Neopolitan pizza I would expect it to be representative of the standard set by AVPN

Dear everyone who worked at this Vasinkio restaurant, thank you so much for making my birthday an enjoyable day, I appreciate the candles for the tiramisu. The food and staff felt like I was in Italy once again! I'll definitely come back again! 😍😍 10/10 I ordered the carbonara and the margherita pizza.
