Pizzeria Pellone Battersea is a Neapolitan pizzeria at 42 Lavender Hill. It is the London expression of a family pizza tradition that began in Naples in 1972 and was carried through three generations before the first Pellone restaurant outside Naples opened in 2018.
Pizza is cooked in a wood fired oven and follows a recognisably Neapolitan style. The menu moves from classics such as marinara and margherita to more elaborate combinations, with dough, tomato, cheese and careful baking remaining central to the kitchen’s approach.
Calzone Fritto is one of the restaurant’s best known specialities, while starters, salads and desserts allow diners to make a fuller meal. Many core ingredients are sourced from Italy, including flour, tomatoes, fior di latte, buffalo mozzarella, cured meats, olives and olive oil.
The Battersea branch supports dine in meals as well as collection and delivery, and drinks include Italian beer, wine and cocktails. Guests with allergies should speak with the team about the current menu, particularly gluten, dairy, nuts and shared flour in the kitchen.
Address: 42 Lavender Hill, Battersea, London SW11 5RL, England
