When you’re considering the best pizza in London, there are always a few key elements on which you can fall back to ensure that the cream of the crop rises to the top. A wood-fired oven is essential, so as to impart that authentically Neapolitan char onto the base of the pizza, as is a superb, well-fermented and rested dough, in order to take the char without burning. Ditto proper Italian ingredients are necessary, whether that be proper tomatoes with which to craft that iconic red sauce or the mozzarella and meats to go on the top when its all done. If you choose 500 Degrees on Brendon Street, just off Edgware Road in (unsurprisingly) Edgware, you can rest assured that all of these boxes will be ticked and pizza perfect thus guaranteed.
The oven at 500 Degrees is wood-fired and capable of reaching the eponymous temperature, so that base is covered for starters. As for the ingredients, well, suffice to say they’re keeping revenue and customs in business: everything that can be shipped over from the bel paese is imported, save for the veggies, which are sourced from a nearby farm and delivered daily to maximise freshness. It’s this combination that creates that proper Napoli taste that is rarely replicated in London: head to 500 Degrees to enjoy one of the best Italian restaurants in Edgware, and a pizza the envy of most in London. Book ahead though, as they do get crowded on occasion.
