This London pizzeria has been crowned the best in Europe

A homegrown, London-based pizzeria has just come first at the 50 Top Pizza Europa Awards and we couldn’t be prouder.

For the second year in a row, west London’s Napoli on the Road has decimated the doughy competition to be named Europe’s finest pizza slingers. Bravo! The ceremony was held in Madrid on June 4, and as well as receiving first place in the contest, Napoli On The Road - which has outlets in Chiswick and Richmond – won the title of Pizza of the Year 2025 for their signature pizza Ricordi d’Infanzia, which is topped with slow-cooked ragu with beef, Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, fondue and basil.

Napoli on the Road was set up by pizzaiolo Michele Pascarella, who hails from Maddaloni, near Naples. Pascarella was previously named World Pizza Maker of the Year 2023 by 50 Top Pizza and Best International Pizza Maker 2024 by the Accademia Nazionale Pizza DOC. He certainly knows his dough. 

‘Winning for a second year means more than I can say,’ commented Pascarella. ‘This award belongs to the entire team, who share my commitment and passion every day. Taking first place at the 50 Top Pizza Europa in 2024 changed my life and it’s an honour to receive this recognition once again.’
