British Enough...I meant it's got fish (anchovies), a royally satisfying taste and a British address! Legit Nummy!
Had to get a thicker jacket so the husband took me to some places near our place at Ealing Road. As much as I was eager and keen to discover British cuisine, we opted for the Italian comfort food Pizza and he brought me to his friend's place Vita Mia Pizzeria in St. Mary's Road.
The place is immediately cozy and upon entering we were greeted warmly by everyone there. The pizzaiolo was working in front of the oven right there near the counter where you order and so you can see just how authentic the whole operation is - stone oven, a hearthy crackling fire, excellent 'pasta' (Italian word for the bread of the pie, fyi) and genuine Italy-sourced ingredients from formaggio (cheese) to the humblest veggie the patata (potato).
Had the Napoli (thus, anchovies) while the husband got the Margherita.
Was itching to try the special of the day - the yellow tomato-based with pistachio, burrata and prosciutto cotto but the nostalgia of pizza, Naples and all that jazz got to me. Next time and trust, there will be.
Head on over to Vita Mia Pizzeria for that pizza you so...
Read moreWe had an extremely disappointing experience at Vita Mia Pizzeria on St Mary's Road in Ealing. While the food and atmosphere were average, what truly stood out was the dishonest and unprofessional billing process.
We were initially given a completely incorrect bill that included items we never ordered or consumed. When we pointed this out, the waitress apologized but had the audacity to blame us for not checking the bill properly.
They then promised to refund the overcharged amount of £62 and asked us to pay the correct bill of £33, which we did. However, the refund never appeared in our account, and when we questioned this, the staff insisted it would take 5 working days due to “busy weekdays.” It's now been 3 days, and there’s no sign of a refund.
What’s more suspicious is that the refund slip showed a different card number—raising serious concerns about billing integrity and accountability. When we raised the issue again, we were told, “there’s nothing we can do.”
Frankly, it felt like a scam, and we’ve now paid twice for a meal we didn’t even have. Extremely disappointed by the lack of professionalism, responsibility, and basic honesty. Not...
Read moreI had the pleasure of dining at Vita Mia Pizzeria this evening, and it was an exceptional experience. Roberto, the owner, greeted me warmly and it’s clear he’s deeply involved in the restaurant’s day-to-day operations. His presence, along with the friendly staff, creates a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.
But let’s talk about the pizza - this is, without a doubt, the best Neapolitan pizza I’ve ever had! I ordered the Parma pizza, and it was bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. I also tried the Italian salad, which was fresh, crisp, and served in a generous portion. You can tell that Roberto prioritizes quality ingredients - everything tasted so fresh and authentic.
The service was fantastic from start to finish, making the whole experience even better.
While it a quite small restaurant, it is worth traveling to this area to try this pizza! In my opinion, it is the best pizza in London! Thank you, Roberto, and the...
