London pizza parlour Napoli on the Road does pizza very, very well.
It’s run by Naples-born pizzaiolo Michele Pascarella who was crowned Best Pizza Maker in the World at the 50 Top Pizza Awards in 2023, while the brand itself was named Europe’s Best Pizzeria in 2024 and 2025 at the 50 Top Pizza Europa. There’s just one issue; Napoli on the Road only has two branches; in Chiswick and Richmond. Until now.
The rest of London can breathe a sigh of relief as Pascarella has decided to open up a third pizza parlour in a slightly more convenient location than on the fringes of far-flung southwest London… yes, Napoli on the Road is coming to Soho!
Opening this autumn, the third branch of Napoli on the Road will be a two-floor restaurant at 140 Wardour Street, with an a la carte menu on the ground floor and a tasting menu offering in the basement... a pizza tasting menu? We can only dream. The ground floor space will feature chrome pizza ovens and white-washed walls. It all sounds very chic, to be honest.
Speaking about the new opening, Pascarella commented: ‘Soho is full of creativity, culture and open-minded attitudes. We’re so excited to add a new approach to pizza to the tapestry of Wardour Street. Soho was where I first began working in London; returning feels like a homecoming and a dream come true.’
