The best restaurants in south London now doing home delivery

A new pizza brand from the team behind the Michelin-starred Lyle’s and Borough Market wine bar and bakery Flor, ASAP Pizza is predictably high-end stuff, with posh pies such as a Hawaiian with pickled scotch bonnet, grilled pineapple and cured pig’s cheek, and the allium-inating ‘On and On’ with green onions, new season garlic, wild garlic and wild marjoram. There are also desserts like tiramisu and ice cream sandwiches from east London’s Happy Endings.  

ASAP Pizza will operate from the Flor kitchen in Borough Market via Click & Collect and Deliveroo, with a delivery radius including London Bridge, Southwark, Elephant & Castle, and Kennington. Outside this area, ASAP Pizza kits are promised.
