Pizzeria Pellone East Finchley

Pizzeria Pellone East Finchley brings proper Neapolitan pizza to a cosy spot near the Phoenix Cinema, with owner Elio noted by regulars for greeting them by name. The menu focuses squarely on pizza—no pasta here, with classic Napoletana and creative specials made from ingredients imported directly from Italy. Families appreciate the highchairs and buggy-friendly space. "This is the best pizza we have had outside of Italy," noted one family with Italian roots, praising the generous toppings and authentic soft crust. One reviewer experienced quick service on a quieter evening, with pizzas arriving in under 20 minutes before a film screening. Reviewers mention the complimentary Prosecco for adults, and the fried pizza gets special mentions from those in the know. Best for a pre-cinema bite or a relaxed weeknight when you want the real thing without the flight to Naples.
