50 Kalò di Ciro Salvo in City of London, Westminster

Very tasty pizza,same as the ones you eat in Italy.

Great pizza and pretty quick service! Highly recommended

I had read great things about this pizzeria. And as a regular at the famous pizzeria in Naples, I went here with the best intentions. Which however were partially disappointed. The pizza was good, as were the fried foods but not at all comparable to the excellence that you eat in Naples. The service was quite fast but cold and hasty, far from what you would expect in a Neapolitan restaurant. The environment also left me perplexed: very high ceiling, it looks like a former warehouse, and floors that are not exactly clean. I will leave aside any comment on the bathrooms (almost always pitiful in all of London). Its strong point is its proximity to Trafalgar and all the services of the city center. The prices are in line with the London average.

This was a nice find next to our hotel. Excellent Neapolitan pizza with authentic ingredients. The service could have been a little better at the beginning, but things improved. Clean, elegant atmosphere with good beer and wine options.

Previous experience was better - service, quality of food & overall experience.

Delicious Wood fired pizza! Fast and friendly service!

This is the pizza I ate as soon as I arrived in England🍕 Some people said they ordered one pizza per person, but my husband and I only had to order one pizza! There were a lot of Koreans in the store, but there were also a lot of foreigners, so it was a bit hectic, but it was delicious.

Really disappointed, with such a high ranking we expected better. Poor service. Be aware that a 12.5% ​​service charge is automatically added to the bill.

Very nice pizzas and friendly service.

Excellent pizza and pistachio tiramisu.

This place really knows how to serve pizza. We arrived at noon on a Monday and was lucky enough to get a table. We ordered a couple of Margarita pizzas and they were huge ((bigger than a 12 inch) and delicious! The staff was prompt, friendly, helpful. The pizzas arrived within 10 minutes it seems (which was welcomed considering we were hungry). We see why this place is a favorite amongst locals and tourists alike.

I ate it on the first day I arrived in London. The oven-baked pizza was good and the service was good.

I ate here last week with some friends and it was soo good. The pizza dough was really nice and all the pizzas were really tasty and good value for money. The desserts were also really good and I could have eaten it again if I wasn't so full. It's in a great location and so good value for money. I will definitely be coming back.

Loved it! No photos—food was way too good to wait 😄 We shared the Prosciutto Cotto e Parmigiano—so tasty! Finished with the Torta Ricotta e Pera and Pistamisù—both were amazing. Highly recommend! A little slice of Italy in London 🇮🇹✨

Went in quite late, about 45 minutes before they close and needless to say I was way more stressed than any of the staff were. Ordered very fast and definitely ate too fast but the pizza was absolutely amazing, some of the best I've ever had, tremendously floppy and delicately flavored like a perfect Neapolitana

I like this pizzeria. The chef here knows all the intricacies of making delicious pizza, definitely respect to him!

As the bus didn't appear to be arriving anytime soon I popped into this pizza restaurant which is directly behind the bus stop. The staff were attentive and the food arrived quite quickly. However, that has to be the last of my compliments. The pizza looked good and the outside crust was crispy. The downside was that what was supposed to be a tomato sauce was so thin and watery that it made the base wet and soggy. All that was needed to make this an appetising pizza was more tomato in the sauce!

Probably it means this is a place not for my taste buds, but I don't really understand what's great about the pizza. Dough was very soft, lacked any kind of minimal crunch, way too much cheese (a bit overwhelming).

Great pizza, a must in London. Reservation recommended.

Best pizza in London. Love this place so much, the food and service is exceptional. Would come here everyday if I could

We were seated at a table right next to a big fridge and close to the kitchen door even though we had reserved ahead. It took almost 20 minutes for someone to take our order even though waiters were walking by all the time. The pizza was excellent but the uninterested almost rude attitude of the waiters and the buzzing fridge made our visit unpleasant.

Terrible service. Took my reservation wrong (she was not a native english speaker) but got zero apology with an attitude Pity since the food was good but we definitely won’t be coming back

One of the best Neapolitan pizzas in London. The crust was fluffy as a cloud whilst the base was thin and crisp. There was a great balance between the sweetness of the sauce and the slight char of the base.

I had high expectations after everything I'd read, and I have to say that while the pizzas aren't bad at all, it didn't seem so crazy to me that it warranted so many awards. We also had a salad, which was so-so, and the pistamisu for dessert, which was truly glorious. Prices, like everywhere in London, expensive, but you know that. Decent service; the guy who served us was very nice. The place is nice; it's been around for a few months, but I don't consider it cramped either.

For sure one of the best Neapolitan pizza in the City, 50 Kalò is the place for you.

Pizzaria que fica próximo à Trafalgar Square. Muito frequentada pelos londrinos, dizem que é uma das melhores pizzarias da cidade. De fato, a pizza estava ótima e o atendimento é nota 10, de uma garçonete que me atendeu com uma enorme simpatia, além de muito divertida.

We ordered 1 pizza for two and a coke, it came out to 26 pounds, the pizza was delicious. I don't know what was going on there but the walls were all covered in sauces and there was a lot of hair on them

The pizzas were delicious. Thin crust and great taste. The staff was very friendly and polite.

Ami la pizza e non puoi farne a meno anche in vacanza? Sei un italiano all'estero e ti manca l'aria di casa? O un turista e vuoi saper com'è la vera pizza Napoletana!? Ecco questo è il posto che fa per te...per tutti! Pizza ottima con materie prime di qualità! Da provare per creder!

Great food. Really tasty. Big portions. Fresh ingredients. Service efficient but not friendly.

Good pizza in a very central location in London. I had high expectations as this restaurant was previously ranked as Europe's best pizzeria (outside of Italy). While the pizzas are well made and authentic, i found they were missing the wow factor of other pizzerias at this caliber of ranking and price point. Perhaps this is a result of maintaining traditional authenticity. Overall, the pizzas are tasty and worth stopping for if nearby. Do make a reservation as the place gets very busy.

Are you in London and love real Neapolitan pizza? then you can't miss this stop a stone's throw from Trafalgar Square. Simple place where you are welcomed by the typical smile of the Neapolitan city. Good choice on the menu with excellent quality raw materials. The exceptional pizza... soft but not stringy, very light and with a unique flavour. Truly highly recommended! And if there's anything left over...doggy bag!

Da italiano non avrei mai pensato che avrei mangiato una delle migliori pizze della mia vita a Londra. Che dire! Esattamente come a Napoli. Eccezionale

I visited on a Wednesday and was approached by a very unfriendly staff member. I came alone to dine in, as I’ve done many times before, but it’s clear that the customer service has been getting worse with each visit. The lady took my details three separate times, each time with errors, and gave the impression she wasn’t interested in helping at all. I was told there would be a 40-minute wait — which I was more than happy to accept since I was in the area. But what truly disappointed me was that no one ever contacted me afterward. For a place known for its food, the service is now well below what one would expect — honestly, not even worth one star based on this experience.

I love pizza, I'm ready to eat it every day! And here they cook it the way I like it, moderately soft, just a little crispy, slightly salty, in general, thanks to the guys for their work! Keep it up)

I have been here twice and I just didn’t understand why the pizza is so soft and fluffy, it doesn’t hold and doesn’t mix with the ingredients well.

Absolutely delicious, authentic pizza. So good. The tiramisu was also amazing. I hope to come back to try the pistachio dessert. Staff were smiley and attentive. Prices were very good given the central location. I didn't choose 5 stars only because I think it would have been extremely difficult for a wheelchair user to get to the accessible toilet because of the amount of tables-people would have to move out of the way.

The pizza is undoubtedly good. The only downside was the waiter who was not very kind or even rude. But despite this I would go back.

The best place for pizza in London. Period.

An excellent place. Very good food, friendly staff, fast service. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance, because it is very crowded. I recommend!

Pizza is great, but I think there is even more in Naples :)

Very mediocre Loaded with cheese Only cheese taste Sauce is dry Underwhelming

Pretty great spot for pizza, salad, etc. Pizza was truly thin crust and you eat with a knife and fork. Excellent range of combinations with abundant flavor. We had the diavlo which was slightly spicy and even better with some chili flavored oil. The caprese salad which was also spectacular. Totally ripe tomatoes coupled with Buffalo. Excellent food coupled with excellent service provided by Amalia. You cannot get better than this.

Waste of money! We went for the first (and last) time and we left extremely disappointed, we paid for the name and the marketing, not for the food. As soon as we entered we felt people were squeezed like chickens, you will find people seating and eating by the entrance (exit) on a 50 cm table. The right side of the room is mostly closed by a wall and some mirrors (very '50s decor), a shiny marble wall and shelf in front covering the red bricks of the kitchen (the only authentic pizza style decor). The wall all around had a black paint, and the ceiling a completely different style, with the wooden floor painted black and white and the tables looking like the came from a different place as well. None of them were matching each other, not even two of them. 1 little pyramid (suppli) and 1 crocchè at £5 each. The margherita was ok, you cannot be wrong with that. And yet the cornicione was really burnt at the bottom my son couldn't eat it (he stained his hand with the charred pizza and painted his face, shirt and everything else). The waitress strongly recommended the artichockes and provolone and we added the salsiccia and friarielli as well. The first was tasteless, literally £19 in the bin. The puree was ok in taste, but was not edible as full of filaments from the hard leaves of the artichokes. We couldn't taste the pecorino at all, the mozzarella was covering every flavour giving a rather chewy/gummy texture to the pizza. The artichokes on top were straight from the sunflower oil, tasteless as ever. Salsiccia and friarielli was good (probably because next to the other became the highlight of the night). We went for a lemon cake to celebrate my wife birthday, what shall I say? We are still looking for the taste of lemon. Very good patisserie cream though. The toilets were disgusting, it was 8:30pm and they were checked last time at 4:00pm. Dirty, small, filthy. A wheelchair couldn't access unless some people move their table... All in all we felt we were eating tasteless food, in the space of a chicken at the price of a real good burger place. Italian food is definitely something else (from an Italian in London).

Tuna pizza was delicious - we said we were going to share so it was brought to us cut in half on two plates. We also had a lovely tuna salad. Highly recommend

EDIT: Tried 50 Kalo a 2nd time and unfortunately it did not hit the mark this time around. The pizzas are undoubtedly excellent however the service could be much improved. In addition, the place is small and filled with tables meaning you have a constant stream of people passing next to, and behind you, while eating - this did not make for a pleasant experience at all. By far the best pizzas in London! Expensive but they use high quality and fresh ingredients and you can truly taste the difference vs other pizza places so worth the price in my opinion. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

Very tasty pizza, everything fit and worked perfectly, the taste was great and the selection was very large

This is not simply a pizza. This is perfection.

So delicious, best pizza I’ve had in years, maybe ever. Definitely worth trying, we finished every bite

It was the second time we went to 50 kalò in London, we know it because we are regular customers of the restaurant you have in Rome. The food was good, but unfortunately this time the experience was ruined by the unacceptable attitude of the waitress. From the first moment he started flirting openly with my boyfriend: jokes, winking smiles and constant attention directed only at him, totally ignoring me. even asking his name, where he was from... when we had to order coffee he only asked him if he wanted it, making the situation extremely embarrassing. To top it off, when it was time to pay, he stared at him without any shame. The atmosphere was so unpleasant that it ruined our lunch. Several months have passed but we are back in London in a few days, and we certainly won't be back: a bit of professionalism would be the least to expect...

The best pizzas I have had in London, we had to wait a little to be seated but it was worth it. The service is very good, the waiters speak several languages, the food is super excellent, the atmosphere is good. I recommend the pistamisu with my eyes closed.

Nestled just off Trafalgar Square, 50 Kalò di Ciro Salvo brings the mastery of third-generation pizzaiolo Ciro Salvo to London's dining scene. The name "50 Kalo" translates to "good dough" in local Neapolitan dialect, and their emphasis on high hydration and low protein flours showcases their dedication to perfection. While the interior features an interesting mix of double-height ceilings and marble columns paired with cozy cushion-covered booths, don't let the eclectic design distract you – because the food here is absolutely knock-your-socks-off good! The restaurant boasts an authentic wood-fired oven that reaches temperatures of 480-500°C, cooking each pizza to perfection in just over a minute. The pizzas are true masterpieces, featuring soft and thin Neapolitan-style bases with perfectly crispy outer edges and characteristic charring marks. The mozzarella, flown in directly from Campania, is gorgeously gooey and pairs beautifully with their premium toppings. The starters are equally impressive – don't miss their thick potato croquettes in crisp breadcrumbs or their delightful cheese and ham-packed omelette. Their commitment to quality ingredients is evident in details like their olive oil, which is sourced from the two-Michelin-starred Don Alfonso 1890's own farm opposite Capri. The friendly Italian staff provide wonderful service, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable considering the quality. While side dishes are available, the generous portion sizes of their pizzas mean you likely won't need them. Pro tip: save some crusts to scoop up the delicious leftover sauce – you won't want to waste a single bite! It's no surprise that 50 Kalò London has been awarded the prestigious "3 slices" (the highest award for a pizzeria) for the fifth consecutive year, maintaining its position as London's best pizzeria. Even native Italians give this place their stamp of approval, praising the perfectly structured dough that holds the sauce and toppings beautifully when you pick up a slice. Whether you're a pizza connoisseur or simply someone who appreciates exceptional food, 50 Kalò di Ciro Salvo offers an authentic Neapolitan pizza experience that's truly worth seeking out. It's more than just a meal – it's a celebration of Italian culinary tradition and craftsmanship right in the heart of London.

Fantastic. As good as the one in Naples.

The food is delicious, the service is terrible. As soon as I drink it, the glass is gone. Likewise with eating. If I want a loud ambience, I can eat in the train station.

An amazing pizza, excellent and fresh ingredients, very kind staff and a beautiful location.

Terrible experience, with half an empty room they made us wait half an hour in the freezing cold as the reservation was at 9.30pm on April 24th and they said it wasn't possible before, the people who hadn't booked entered before us, grumpy room staff especially a short girl with black hair and light eyes who was at the reception Ilaria I think her name is, little advice get room staff suitable for this job, I exclude from negative comment Sarah, a really kind girl in the room. Mediocre pizza, I took a cooked ham and mushrooms, I had to discard the mushrooms, they had a spoiled taste, the cooked ham was of poor quality, it looks like the scruffy one you get in vacuum-packed trays in the supermarket. It's a shame because I had good memories of the pizzeria in Naples, nothing to do with it.

Very good pizza Top fried pizza

Pizza is okay. Pistachio tiramisu tastes horrible and service is absolutely awful. We don’t feel any welcome there.

Da napoletano in vacanza a Londra mi sono sentito a casa per l’atmosfera e per i sapori ritrovati nelle pizze. Consiglio Margherita con bufala.

I chose this little restaurant based on the reviews, and I have to say that I didn't regret it at all. Indeed, I must say that both the starters and the pizza are truly excellent, and the prices are not excessive when compared to the average of London restaurants. The staff is kind and very helpful and the place is very nice; for those who are nostalgic for Italian pizza I highly recommend it. The only recommendation, having seen the crowd at lunch on a weekday, is to make a reservation if you want to go for dinner. To conclude I want to congratulate both the chef and all the staff, they really deserve it!

Don’t believe the hype and all those tik tokers which are posting fake reviews for some random places around London for free food , forget about awkward transplant of Michele which is only a shade of its own Neapolitan greatness , go to 50 Kalo and enjoy best pizza in London , yes I said it - best pizza in London !

One of the best pizzas in London

A lovely little place serving great Neapolitan-style pizzas. The pizza was delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive. A very cool spot with an authentic Italian vibe – perfect for a quick lunch. Reservations in advance are a must.

Despite being empty, the restaurant refused to allow 5 of us a table at lunchtime with no reason given. My friends were over from America and had children with them. We'd called the night before and no answer. There was no voicemail option, we'd called in the morning and no answer no voicemail so we turned up hoping for a walk in. One of our group was intent on trying the pizza so ordered takeaway but we are wholly disappointed at their lack of courtesy and poor customer service. If you can even call it that. Pizzas were nice but tainted by the badexperience.

one of the best pizzas I've ever had. a must have

Real Napolitan pizza. Great place in Central London with delicious pizza. Definately will be coming back there.

It was very crowded and busy, but the service was great and the food was yummy

The food and drinks were not good. It wasn’t clean. I’m not planning to go again—at the very least, I strongly recommend not trying this pizza.

I have to say that the pizza and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant were absolutely amazing — truly impressive. However, our experience was completely ruined by one of your staff members named Amalia. She was extremely rude, made inappropriate jokes, and treated us with a shocking level of disrespect. Her behavior was not only unprofessional but also made us feel incredibly uncomfortable and unwelcome. It’s deeply disappointing that such a wonderful place can be so negatively affected by one person’s attitude. I sincerely hope the management takes this seriously, because she is ruining what could otherwise be a perfect dining experience.

Classic fried stuffing & Diavola

The pizza is delicious (one of the best I’ve ever had) but the atmosphere and service in the restaurant could be better.

Food was very fresh and the ingredients were quality. Service was very good however the building was a traditional in the slightest but the overall experience was very good

A lot of oil. Doesn't tasty. I don't understand hot it get 4.5 agree. And also very expensive. Very crowded.

The pizzas were unreal. Magnificent. I went to heaven and Alessandro was an angel.

The restaurant is undeniably elegant and beautifully designed inside — a lovely atmosphere overall. Unfortunately, our table was placed right next to the entrance, and it was quite cold. I do understand the staff needing to move in and out to serve the outside tables, but it did make the dining experience less comfortable. One thing that really surprised me, though, was overhearing staff gossiping in Italian about other customers’ behavior. As an Italian myself (though speaking English with my husband), I found this incredibly unprofessional and disappointing. As for the food, it’s a mixed bag. The frittatina was outstanding — honestly a 5/5, possibly even better than some I’ve had in Naples. Some toppings on the pizza were excellent: high-quality ingredients, especially the bresaola and the olive oil. But the dough was a big letdown. The crust was too low, and the texture overall was very rubbery and heavy. It sat in the stomach, and I couldn’t finish more than half. It’s a shame, really, this place has great potential with its ambiance and some standout dishes, but the service attitude and pizza dough need serious improvement.

Good pizza, friendly and very good service, but not a Michelin atmosphere... I felt like I was in a shopping center

Top notch pizza at a very reasonable price, considering the location. Wonderful decor. Prompt service.

Good selection of pizza but no kids menu or options, so I ain't paying full price for a 4 year old to eat a quarter of a very expensive Margherita pizza. What happened to La Familia?? Try Prezzo across the road - less authentic but far more family friendly.

Overpriced and very poor quality. The dough was soggy and clammy, the ingredients substandard and undercooked. It was essentially inedible. However, our waitress was excellent and very friendly.

I was very disappointed with the food at 50 Kalò di Ciro Salvo. The starters are terrible and taste like they've been heated up in a microwave. Not to mention, they're completely overpriced and have no flavour at all. The pizzas were even worse. The mozzarella was incredibly cheap and went hard like plastic. The rest of the ingredients were below par. And the dough itself was close to inedible. Admittedly, the waitress who served us way very pleasant. However, I'm amazed it has some good reviews on Google, as you could get a much better pizza for considerably less at Franco Manca or Pizza Pilgrims. All in all, overpriced and overrated!

Best pizza I ever had in 15 years in UK. Light delicate and authentic.

Every dish is a masterpiece! I want to try everything on the menu.

Really good overall! The ambiance is sleek and modern, and the food was packed with flavor. Slightly overpriced, but still worth it for the quality.

100% recommended. The dough is spectacular 👌 they are very delicious.

The pizza was great, the service from Maurizio and Paolo was also great. Thanks guys, we will definitely be back

I'm surprised to find such a gem so close to tourist hell. But it's absolutely worth it. The food is amazing, the wine is well priced, the highlight is the staff that goes beyond the expectations to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. The menu is extensive which usually means trouble but that's not the case here. All of the pizzas on the table we ordered were fantastic, with great ingredients. Authentic flavours all around. Don't skip starters, they are worth it. Equally don't skip the desserts.

Our table was ready on time. when we got there we were greeted with a welcoming smile. Waiter was friendly and professional, proper Italian 🙌🏻 Food and drinks got to the table seconds after we ordered them, what a faster service. Either starters and mains were tasty, and takes you back to Italy 🇮🇹 Desserts were also yummy, and digestive drinks were traditional (and strong in alcohol). Toilets were clean, however, bear in mind there’s only 1x for each genre. Overall premises are beautiful, even though tables are a slightly closer to each others. It’s located 5 minutes away from embankment and/or Charing Cross stations, and just around the corner from Trafalgar Square. It can be pricey for a pizza, but definitely it’s worth for the experience. Overall I’d recommend ii. 🍕👌🏻

A bit too loud, but the service and food were great, I recommend it

Incredible pizza, perfect base. Very friendly efficient service! Highly recommend!

I’ve been on the lookout for the best margarita pizza in London for three years and from the start this remains #1.

After a lot of walking, you appreciate a place where you can regain your strength and where the product is very well made, the attention of the waiters is super pleasant, I recommend making a reservation, since there were a lot of people eating and the margherita pizza was one of the best and the cheesecake was very delicious.

Mediocre overhyped pizzeria with clueless staff. We had a normal pizza and fried pizza. I wouldn’t go back for pizza but the salads looked good from a far.

Nicest pizza in my life Now I've been to New York, where I'm told the best pizzas were, but I suppose I chose the wrong pizzerias. But Kalo 50 is a genuine Italian restaurant - the staff even speak Italian. I wouldn't dream of mentioning that my favourite pizza is Hawaiian otherwise I could get thrown out. I can't remember at this stage what pizza I got, but on trying what the others got they were all delicious. It's very expensive but then it's a stone's throw from Trafalgar square and well within the tourist trap - not helped that the pound trades unfavourably against the Euro. But that pizza ... it was amazing. If I'm back in London again I'd return.

I had an amazing pizza today. I am particular about my taste and I must say their Tiramisu and pizza won me. I'll come again...

Love this place - amazing pizza 🍕and fantastic service ♥️

Not great, we’ve tried pizza places around covent garden and Whitehall. The ingredients don’t taste fresh, more canned, dough is just fine, not worth the price.

How nice to know that there are places in London that make you feel at home. Thank you

If you want to have a good time both in terms of cuisine and atmosphere, go for it!!! The prices are also very reasonable and the staff are really attentive. Very good address.

All smoke and no roast pizza too thin No flavor too much oil on top. I've eaten better. And the brand you pay for. Enhance the best ingredients with the prices you ask. And impose the tip but SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!

For a quick lunch and truly delicious pizza🍕. Very kind 😉
