“ Great find for an early dinner before heading out to the evening! 4 of us ordered 4 different pizzas, and out came a GIGANTIC pie with all our toppings nicely segregated - what a presentation! Great service, and a wonderful people. Thanks for a great experience. ”
“ Really really like pizza metro when I crave... Well pizza! The dough is amazing and they have a large choice of toppings - I usually go for simple toppings : love their marinara (no cheese! Perfect if you're on a diet haha), buffalina (tomato, buffalo mozzarella and basil) and malanzane (aubergine tomato ricotta and basil) Minus one star because their menu can be confusing. One day my BF ordered 4 pizzas to take away (yes for the 2 of us!) and they were all 'white' (cream/cheese base instead of tomato base) which I hate! I ended up eating on or two slices because I was starving but I did not enjoy at all ... Maybe they should change their menu and clearly separate white and red pizzas? Very good stuff though ”
“ Okay, so the pizza here is seriously good, like in fact everything else at this place. Let's start with the pizza. Quite simply, each ingredient is outstanding. The base is the pivotal element here, enjoying the rare combination of being thin, fluffy and chewy. It's unusual to find this: pizza bases are frequently too crispy or undercooked. But not here - it's absolutely delicious. The tomato sauce meanwhile is fresh, tasty and in a perfectly judged quantity. Likewise, the cheese, all too often the killer of pizzas by being in excess, is sparingly applied and of excellent quality. Together, it all adds up to a class-leading pizza, right up there with Franco Manca and possibly even preferable to it if you don't like the sourdough tang in Franco Manca's pizzas . The pizza alone would merit a 5 star rating for Pizza Metro Pizza. But stopping at that would be unfair on the other aspects of my experience here: The service was fantastic. Quick and polite, with the waiters going out of their way to be helpful, for example always topping up my glass with tap water when I'd emptied it. The dessert was of similarly top quality. I opted for a Tiramisu, which had a consistency perfectly balanced between creamy and moist. I also liked the lack of dessert menu: instead, a waiter simply arrived with a tray containing examples of each dessert on offer. Although Pizza Metro Pizza can't claim a first in this presentation of desserts, it's a rare and welcome innovation when the normal alternative is to buy blind. So, in sum, this is comfortably 5 star material, buoyed by some of the best pizza in London. My only comment is that though the Bufalina I had was excellent, it was also quite expensive at £12.50 - such is this place's mastery of the basics that I'd go for a £8.50 Margherita next time. Overall though, this is one of the top pizzerias in London. Highly recommended to pizza lovers, foodies or anyone after a quick and relatively cheap meal. ”
“ I have to admit when a friend suggested dinner at this place, I looked at the website and was about to suggest something else in the area. I'm so glad I didn't! It was 4 of us and we ordered 2 starters - fried cheese (yum, reminded me of mozzarella sticks) and the garlic bread... that looked like a little pizza. We ordered 4 different kinds of pizza and yes, it arrived in a meter and nicely placed depending on where you were sitting. I ordered the Buffalo Mozzarella one and it was one of the best pizzas I've had in London. Definitely recommend making a reservation because it was packed - even when it was snowing! ”
“ Really delicious pizza; love the novelty factor of ordering it by the metre and having a massively long pizza raised up in the middle of the table on its own platform. Liked the memorabilia and noisy atmosphere. A fun place, and I'll definitely go again when we have guests who have never seen a very long pizza. However, this place misses the top mark for me because the service was slow and inattentive on the Saturday night that we visited, and the pizza dough was verrry soggy (albeit tasty). P.S The dessert 'menu' has to be seen to be believed. Rather than a printed menu, our waiter brought over a plate which had on it a dry old slice/bowl of every dessert that they offer. If that weren't heave-making enough, the ice cream is represented by a balled up piece of toilet tissue dipped in glue, then cocoa powder! I bet their dessert sales would go up threefold if they threw away the crusty replica food and typed up a normal menu! ”
“ Went here with the wife on a Saturday night. Had no problems getting a reservation on the day of. We've done the pizza by the meter thing at Made in Italy, which is closer to where we live. I loved the pizza at Made in Italy so I was doubtful that the pizza at Pizza Metro Pizza would be as good but with all the rave reviews, I figured it was worth trying. We started with a plate of grilled vegetables. The vegetables were very thinly sliced. I'm not sure if I liked that but they were pretty good. Then we got our pizzas -- we each got a pizza. If you're not a big eater, you can probably get by with 2 people to a pizza but you can always take leftovers home. It was pretty good. It seemed like the pizza was not cooked as long as at Made in Italy -- I like my pizzas crispier and slightly burnt as opposed to soft and squishy. One of our pizzas had rocket on top -- kinda strange. It's like taking your salad and dumping it on top of your pizza. Not sure if it worked for me. Overall, the pizza was still excellent. The dining room is very bright and has plenty of room for large groups. ”
“ When the Italian's tell you it's the real deal, you listen. While the highlight here is definitely the pizza - gorgeous chewy bread with perfect tomato sauce serve warm from the brick oven - you can't go wrong with anything else. The gnocchi was delicious, the aubergines perfect and all served in truly authentic style (which means they can be a bit abrupt and leave you alone for too long). One word of caution - never ever order takeaway. It will be 20 minutes later then they promise you and if the pizza is cold by the time you get it home, it's just not worth it. Oh, and according to a Napolitain, eat the Margherita or Rucola e Parma or don't bother ;) ”
“ Let me begin my review by breathing deeply, preparing for shoes to be thrown, and saying... Pizza made in England is, for the mostpart, HORRIBLE. It waddles the fine line between thick and thin crust (it would be extremely un-English to commit to EITHER) with too-salty tomato sauce and too-greasy toppings. I know, as I endured it for 18 years before hopping both ponds and discovering the sensory euphoria that is American and Italian pizza. England and pizza are JUST NOT FRIENDS. Fortunately for you lot (alas, not for me) Pizza Metro set up shop - allowing South-of-the-River residents (and those willing to make the trek - myself included) to enjoy pizza by the METER. It makes for an extremely pleasant dinings experience, particularly as they "section off" your enormous pizza slab to accomodate individual taste preferences. Their pizza is thin-crusted, crunchy, salty, cheesy, delicate GOODNESS. The atmosphere is lively and the staff welcoming (if a little bit slow when coping with everybody in the U.K. hoping for a decent bite of pizza). I heard whispered rumors that they deliver, but cannot confirm. ”
