Italiano Pizza in Hackney

Super friendly owner, fast service and delicious pizza - hidden gem in East London!

Went here for the first time recently and can honestly say it’s one of the best last standing authentic pizzerias left in London. Had a nice chat with the owner Mo who was super helpful and provided the most amazing service ever! Their business depends heavily on locals and with gentrification slowly killing our city, it’s important that we support amazing businesses like this

My favourite place to get pizza in all London. The owner is incredibly passionate and friendly

Delicious pizza baked and topped the way you want. Recommend the deeper crust for a great bake and very satisfying meal (or two!).

Margherita pizza as good with thin crust as with thick crust, charming welcome from the very friendly and helpful owner. Thanks for everything.

Excellent service, great pizza, super happy with my experience.

Probably the best pizza I’ve ever tasted in my entire life never disappoints owner is lovely

We ordered 3 pizza’s. Which were easy to customize, the guy that helped us was really friendly and didn’t mind us changing some thing for our preferences. The food was done in a maximum of 20 minutes and looked very good. While we were waiting on our pizza’s we had a very nice conversation with the guy who made the pizza’s. So overall we had a really good experience. We would recommend.

The pizza was delicious 10/10 And the customer service was second to none amazing would highly recommend 🏆

Great Owner. Brilliant quality pizzas.

I got a pizza here yesterday. It was really good. Shopkeeper was kind and attentive. Everything is also very reasonably priced. Would deffo come back here again

Finding good pizza can be a challenge in England but if you’re looking for a place that reminds you of New York style pizza and you’re not in the states. Italiano Pizza makes a fine substitute. They are located in The Old Street district part of town. This part of London has had some serious renovations over the last couple of years. And now there are apartments, businesses, and many universities and colleges nearby. If you are a businessman, looking for a quick inexpensive lunch, or looking for something that goes well with a pint, a Londoner wondering what New York pizza really is like or a tourist like my wife and I were missing more authentic American style pizza, you will like this place. The veggies were fresh and it was very tasty. The only complaint is there is no place to sit down. It is all take out and a short wait for the pizza made to order It is run by a father and son that are very friendly and live in the building next to the establishment. Check it out!

Wonderful pizza takeaway. Tucked in the back streets a very short walk away from Old Street Tube, & far better than the flashy places on the main roads. The service from Mo, or his son, is so friendly. I’ve only been able to go a couple of times when down for business & staying in a hotel close by, but so pleased I found them. Will most definitely be back.

Great takeaway pizza! Owner was very friendly and the pizza was very tasty. I'll be back again!

Such a funny experience with the governor there ! Top pizza , lovely owner and a load of free Tottenham stuff ! Another story !

Looks can be deceiving. This place makes great pizza. Please try.

This place is really insane. Rarely have I gone somewhere where the appearance of the establishment didn’t look like much but the food was incredible. I ordered a Mexican hot with a deep pan crust and it was genuinely one of the best pizzas I had. The pizza was melted evenly across the pizza and wasn’t plasticky/cardboard at all, the toppings were clearly fresh from that day (not frozen) and the crust was probably the best I’ve ever had on a pizza. It’s perfectly seasoned with a nice oregano flavour throughout and it holds up all the toppings nicely. It’s filling but delicious. Pictured here is a small but i will get a medium next time. If you’re in need of some good pizza that isn’t the generic sourdough wood fired stuff you see plastered everywhere these days, this is the place to go.

Excellent service and the pizza was amazing, we were served very kindly.

A warm and friendly welcome awaits you as well as the most delicious pizzas at this lovely little takeaway in Nile Street. It was recommended to us by a local resident who couldn’t speak highly enough of this place, the owner and his food and after visiting we’re 100% in agreement!

Love this joint! 23 years in business 🤯 pizza was super yum, fluffy crunchy dough, great service - we’ll be back!

Just ordered this pizza, poor quality at a high price. Suspect the Google reviews are fake given some mention good service from the waiters and it isn’t a sit in restaurant? Will be getting Pizza Union down the road next time.

Really disappointing from this as I ordered in online delivery, got a long hair in pizza as well the chicken taste was so bad as it feels like 2/3 days old chicken.

Best pizza in town by far. High quality and family owned. Haven't stopped coming here in 10 years, always to notch

Very good pizza, service fantastic, no faults!

The best pizza in town - from ingredients, to service, to value. Don't hesitate to make your next pizza an Italiano Pizza, you won't be disappointed.

Food was a bit small but amazing. Amazing service from all waiters. Outside, it was very nice. A cool breeze with some sun.

Great food and the service was amazing! Very friendly and accommodating owner!

Very good, we had a great time and the gentleman is welcoming, thank you

Really good pizza, made fresh while you wait. The owner is a very nice guy.

Late, not enough driver available. Very bad quality pizza and came with onions even though my one note was no onions. Small and low quality ingredients very overpriced. All round disappointed, wish I didn’t order it.

Been going here since I was younger, the quality is always the best and amazing customer service. Family owned business, and the owner is always so kind and accommodating! Would recommend if you’re looking to order a good quality hearty pizza! We usually get the deep pan pizza and it’s our favourite plus it’s very affordable for the sizing!

Lovely fresh, tasty vegi pizza and friendly, warm service. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Exquisite pizza bursting with flavor.

We have a great experience eating a fantastic pizza and talking with the chef.

Excellent pizza, and the owner is extremely friendly and kind. Not a restaurant, only for take outs or delivery, but totally worth it.

Love this place! Weekly regular and one of the best pizzas in London. A++

Gave it another go ( a friend of mine had the bad idea to buy pizza from here ) ...And it's just terrible. Worst pizza you could have around Hoxton/Shoreditch. Possibly one of the truly worst pizza spots in London. - Greasy and doughy half-cooked base - Tomato sauce with added sugar that tastes like candy bars - Some mysteriously tasteless cheese - How can they claim to be Italian with zero Italians working there? - I got serious doubts about their hygiene standards This place makes money due to its position and the fact that's always open. Ideal spot for drug addicts and/or generically desperate ppl. The 5 stars reviews are clearly coming from people who don't know what pizza is and/or have no standards. Trust me: Beware!

The best pizza in London, the best customer service, the best owner. Guys don’t go anywhere else for pizza just make sure you only come here. This place needs more recognition. All pizzas are done with love

I love this place The manager is super nice, the place is comfy, and the pizza is very good An incredibly solid 5 stars that deserves it's very high external rating

This was a great little spot to get a bite while I was visiting from out of town. The gentleman behind the counter was so nice and courteous and when I took my pizza back to my flat, it was still warm and insanely delicious. Baked to perfection. A definite winner for me!

Worst pizza I had in London. Crust was too think and had no salt in it. Got the cesar pizza and weirdly it has tomato sauce in it, cheese was tasteless. Maybe the thin crust is better but the think one is horrendous

Pizza was excellent. Stringy cheese, fresh ingredients and good customer service. I am going back tonight to indulge some more 😍

Pizza boxes need to be secured shut with stickers or something that won’t allow it to be open unless by the paying customer. I caught my delivery driver with my box open before he rang my bell with him flaming “he was just checking” . Food rating inaccurate due to not accepting pizza due to catching the driver with my food open. Awful behaviour from a delivery driver.. he has no right to open food he has not purchased himself. Glad I caught him absolutely disgusting.

Very nice buisness, lovely customer service 5stars !!! Definitely recommend

We ordered 8 pizzas, the team was wonderful and extremely helpful, they went above and beyond. To add to that, the pizza itself was delicious.

We order two large pizzas which were ready in about 15 minutes. Great pizzas, and friendly service. We will be back

Lovely pizza and great staff. Obrigado!

I bought two small vegetarian pizzas, one for me, one for the wife, and they were both delicious and very filling. What was outstanding, though, was the warmth of the two men, father and son, who made them. Lovely people, who could not have been more engaging. I will go back there whenever I want food and a friendly face in the area!

Fina pizza, vlasnik je jako draga i simpatična osoba. Preporučamo!

Come, or you will regret it for the rest of your life

We ordered delivery to be delivered to a nearby hotel via Uber Eats around 10pm. Order came after about 30 minutes, no issues. We ordered "Italiano Special", which had "onion, mushrooms, green and red peppers, hum, beef, sweetcorn, black and green olives, pepperoni, pineapple, oregano, and olive oil." Deep dish crust was crispy and the pizza ingredients all tasted very fresh. A side order of chicken wings with barbecue flavor was also tender and cooked just right. Excellent quality and highly recommended. The only wrinkle was that we had asked for forks but they were not included in the delivery, but it was not a big deal. Overall excellent food quality.

Best pizza in the world, I’m not even joking I’ve tried pizza around London and this is the best of the best not only good food but the customer service is the best!!!!!

This is it. This is the best pizza (at least delivery) I have had in London. And I have tried so many of them. It was perfect. I don’t know what the different bases mean, but I got Pepperoni, Pan, “Italian Fluffy base”. Bravo, please don’t change a thing!!

Terrible, a frozen pizza would have been better.

Pizzas buenísimas, hemos estado en Londres unos días y hemos venido a cenar varias noches. La masa la hace al momento de pedir la pizza. El señor muy amable con nosotros, un encanto.

Not the best pizza in town Chicken nuggets were horrible and not cooked properly

È praticamente la pizza regina confezionata congelata, messa a scaldare nel forno. Ho scelto questa pizza perché pluripremiata di stelle, ma non ne vale neanche una. Non so chi ha avuto il coraggio di metterle.

Fantastic pizza, great delivery and friendly polite driver- many thanks

As soon as I opened my door, my driver apologized for the poor service. He told me that he had to wait at the restaurant for 20 minutes to get my food to deliver. I had been watching the Just Eat web site, and I knew he spent a long time "At the Restaurant." The driver said the restaurant staff were rude to him when he questioned the long delay. The food was only so-so: kind of bland. We ordered a pizza with sausage, but the "sausage" was more like a sliced hot dog than real Italian sausage. The wings were pretty good: meaty and well-cooked; although the barbecue sauce came just in a fast-food takeaway container, so the wings by themselves were bland. My driver was so upset with the long wait he had to endure at the restaurant (which made him late delivering my food to me) that he recommended I ask for a refund from Just Eat. He was so upset that he refused to accept the tip I tried to give him. I did eat the food, so I'm not sure I can ask for my money back; but I do know I won't be ordering from Italiano Pizza again, but I would be honored to have the same driver deliver my next meal.

Nice service, tasty pizza 🍕 👌🏼

It tastes like some of the ingredients are off date

Need refunding on part of order that wasn’t delivered. The restaurant called ahead and informed me that this would be the case

The time estimated for delivery was21.05 - 21.25 it arrived 21.50 one hour and half after it was ordered my granddaughter was asleep by the time it arrived

Not completely horrible but definitely had better pizza, probably won't order from them again...unless I'm desperate.

The best place to try Italian food. Service, food, delivery are high and all of those for the good price. Recommend!

Delivery guy flipped over the pizza box and all the toppings slidded out of the base. :(

Worst food I’ve ever had, I’m sure the cheese was off we threw all the food in the bin.

We moved to London about a year ago and have tried MANY pizza places but always end up returning to Italiano. Great pizza and amazing staff.

No just eat drivers was about so the restaurant delivered to me there self.

Life changing pizza. Delivery guy is a G

¡Fui aquí después de una noche de fiesta, el hombre más amable nos sirvió y no podía hacer lo suficiente por nosotros! Se nota que es tan apasionado por su trabajo. La pizza fue la mejor que he tenido después de una noche de fiesta! Absolutamente delicioso. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera. ¡Gracias!

Great pizza and excellent service

Pizza is fresh and very tasty strongly recommended.

Lovely pizzas and a lovely man who delivers and a lovely guy

Great family run business, the pizzas are excellent. Best place in Hoxton for Pizza.

Nuestra segunda visita y las pizzas fueron las mejores que hemos tenido! ! Nada era demasiado problema para el propietario, ya que nos proporcionó sillas para sentarnos fuera de la tienda mientras comíamos las mejores pizzas. Nuestras chicas también fueron tratadas con pastel de chocolate de cortesía, que fue un buen toque. Volveremos. CINCO ESTRELLAS.

Great pizza! Fluffy base, very generous topping of good quality food. Couldn’t finish it, very rare for me! Delivery driver didn’t want to come to my flat (but did say he couldn’t park) so called me from outside so I had to go down but friendly and polite. Great service.

The pizza came quick. It was hot and there were a lot of toppings

Absolutely amazing pizza. Thick fluffy base that’s crispy on the outside. Generous topping just like I asked (I chose “build your own pizza). Delivery was on time and piping hot, and the delivery man was very nice. Thank you very much for amazing pizza. My new favourite pizza place.

Pizza came nice &hot and was so delicious. The wedges are so good also.

second time ordering here, fantastic food and speed! also the owner is super nice

Delicious pizza, small family business with heart and soul. Very clean, open kitchen. Go there and have a chat, really really nice people!

good food pizza base was a bit soggy but over all good

This pizza was really disgusting

Really love the pizzas especially the Meateater. The owner and his son is very polite, talkative, and call me by my name everytime I visit the shop. For the price, this pizza shop is unbeatable in Hackney

A lovely thin crust pizza with great flavour will be back for more cheers!

Pizza is epic! Perfect accompainiment for my long night of studying. I could have done without the delivery driver shouting at me at 00:15 for not writing the instruction "call when outside" (I omitted this because I thought it was obvious..!) I'll write that in the future, and still would have if you'd simply said the words politely. I suggest you work on your manners as not many people expect to be shouted at after paying £11.49 for a small-medium vegetarian pizza!
