Santa Maria

Santa Maria has been serving Ealing authentic Neapolitan pizza since 2010, and it's clear they know what they're doing. The wood-fired oven imported from Italy does its job well, producing pizzas with that signature soft, doughy base and perfectly charred crust. The menu is refreshingly simple - you won't find an overwhelming list of options, just a solid selection of starters, pizzas, and a sensible drinks list that includes proper Aperol Spritzes on warm evenings.

The space itself is a nice change from the typical high-street pizza place. Dark wood flooring, red leather banquettes, and 1960s-style globe lamps create a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels more like a neighborhood spot than a chain. The religious artwork on the walls adds character without being overwhelming. It's the kind of place where you can pop in after a walk through nearby Kew Gardens or grab a quick takeaway pizza on your way home.

If you're looking for authentic Italian pizza in West London, this is one of the better options. The vegan Sant'Anna is particularly impressive - rich tomato sauce, excellent cheeses, and vegetables that are actually well-balanced rather than just piled on. The collaboration specials with Bro Pizzeria in Naples show they're serious about maintaining quality standards.
