L’Antica Pizzeria is a Neapolitan pizza restaurant at 66 Heath Street in Hampstead. Its cosy, informal dining room places the wood-fired oven at the centre of an experience shaped by Italian ingredients and a close neighbourhood atmosphere.
The pizza dough undergoes a long fermentation before it reaches the oven, developing the lightness, chew and char associated with the Neapolitan style. Classic combinations sit beside house creations topped with Italian cheeses, cured meats, vegetables and seafood.
Pasta, salads and vegan dishes broaden the menu beyond pizza, while desserts such as tiramisu offer a traditional finish. Diners can build a full Italian meal or keep the visit simple with one pizza and a drink.
Aperitifs and Italian wine suit the food and the restaurant’s relaxed evening character, while takeaway is also available. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should confirm current ingredients and kitchen procedures with staff before ordering.
