Genuine Neapolitan pizza in central London
Vasiniko is devoted to authentic Neapolitan pizza, with two central London locations — on Burleigh Street near Covent Garden and on Adelaide Street near Trafalgar Square. The name means “basil” in the Neapolitan dialect, reflecting a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The Covent Garden room is bright and airy with a holiday feel — hanging greenery, Amalfi-inspired lemon tiles and cosy booths, set to lively music.
What to order
Pizza is the star, true Neapolitan style — go classic with the margherita and its basil-infused tomato sauce, or indulgent with the truffle tartufina. There’s also spaghetti and provola, plus tiramisu, rum baba and cheesecake. With a rating around 4.9, it’s great value for central London.
Who it’s for
A casual lunch, a relaxed dinner with friends or a group get-together for proper pizza without the tourist mark-up — fun for sharing.

Fresh, tasty Naples-style pizza. The pistachio pizza was fine but a bit too wet and soggy, and it could have used more fresh pistachio pieces on top. The truffle pizza was also decent. The restaurant is small, so I recom…
