Fatto a Mano: London's Undisputed Champion of Pizza, Passion, and Pure Joy!

There are great pizzerias in London—and then there’s Fatto a Mano in Covent Garden, a place so extraordinary it doesn’t just serve pizza; it redefines what pizza can be. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with the kind of warmth and charm that feels like coming home—but with a better oven and a lot more limoncello.

Let’s start with the stars of the show: the pizzas.

The Diavola – A Fiery Slice of Heaven

If you're someone who likes a bit of heat, the Pizza Diavola is a revelation. This isn’t your average spicy pizza—this is a perfectly balanced firestorm of flavor. The salame piccante is bold and smoky, delivering just the right kick, while the creamy mozzarella cools things off in all the right places. The San Marzano tomato base is rich and tangy, soaking into that dreamlike dough—fermented for hours to give it that signature Fatto a Mano texture: soft, airy, and blistered to perfection.

Every bite is an explosion of contrast: spicy, creamy, chewy, and absolutely addictive. It's the kind of pizza that makes you pause mid-bite and say, "Wow."

Salsiccia e Friarielli – Rustic Italian Soul on a Plate

Then there’s the Salsiccia e Friarielli, a pizza that tastes like a Neapolitan grandmother whispered a family secret into the recipe. The homemade Italian sausage is juicy and full of deep, herby flavor. The friarielli (that gloriously bitter Neapolitan broccoli) balances the richness of the meat with a gentle, earthy bite. When paired with their signature dough and creamy mozzarella, it’s rustic Italian comfort food elevated to art. Every bite is bold, soulful, and unapologetically authentic.

And Then There’s the Limoncello…

Just when you think the experience can’t get better, along comes the best limoncello in London. It’s bright, zesty, and completely refreshing—like Amalfi sunshine in a glass. The perfect digestivo after devouring one of the best meals you’ll have all year.

The team at Fatto a Mano? Effortlessly friendly, passionate, and genuinely proud of what they’re serving. You can feel the energy in the room—it’s buzzy, vibrant, and always welcoming. They’re not just giving you great food—they’re sharing a slice of their culture, and they do it with love.

I want more. And I’ll be back—again and again.
