This is our nearest pizza restaurant and the best pizza’s around with wood fired pizza oven and nice atmosphere and decor, we have found the staff to be friendly and accommodating, The pizza’s have plenty of toppings and tomato is very flavorful, unlike Franco Manca which has very little topping and we found them to be quite dry and tasteless we have not been back. The Honest Italian has outside seating (in the warmer months) the seats aren’t as comfortable as we’d like but I understand they need to be stored when not in use. We can’t rate the Honest Italian highly enough and will continue to enjoy introducing our friends and family whenever we can.

Had the most delicious, authentic pizza here. The ingredients were so fresh and tasty. The best wood fired pizza I’ve had in a long time… and by the way the tiramisu was sensational. Will definitely be back👍👍👍

Absolutely amazing! Honest Italian is hands down the best pizza in town! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a casual night out or a special occasion. Their pizzas are crafted with the freshest ingredients and you can truly taste the difference. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you have everything you need. If you’re looking for authentic Italian pizza, this place is a must-visit. Five stars all the way!

This spot is ideal for a quick lunch or dinner or a dinner date. I just had a well rounded up Pizza Diavola with some extra red peppers 🌶️ and the spicy chili oil and a Peroni out the bottle in a clean and familiar surrounding. Thanks for the nice and quick made fresh pizza which saved me after a long day

Been a few times this my last review and is still the best pizza . Personally I don't think Pizza "travels" that well. Get yourself down to Mr Honest and taste it fresh out the wood fired oven MINUTES after order. No I'm not a shareholder. It's simply the most reliable and consistently great food place in the area.

This really is the best pizza in South London. Light, thin, crispy crusts (no Franco Manco stodge here!), authentic flavours, polite and friendly staff (and a clean toilet). I had the Napolitana with a side salad, and it was superb. My dining companion had the house pizza, the Honest Italian, with the most amazing prawns ever. Highly recommended, either as take out, Deliveroo or eat in. Eat in is best, though. This was our fourth visit and we shall definitely be making a fifth and a sixth visit.

This restaurant appears to mainly serve the home delivery market and as such has just a few tables. Clearly very popular with locals and we could see why as the food was absolutely delicious. 3 of our group had fab pizza's and I had aubergine parmigiana which was very tasty.

Perhaps we can blame Covid? Not busy at all, but pizzas still excellent, though service rushed and brusque! Mentioned it was a birthday dinner, but no response. And in the 'old' days, a complimentary Limoncello after dinner (which a nearby Italian restaurant still does) - no Limoncello, so an orange substitute - and GBP4 each!! A tad steep, we thought. So shall wander over for takeaway, at this stage.

I ordered a mushroom pizza via Deliveroo, the pizza arrived swiftly but was awful. There was not much tomato sauce and even less cheese. the base was nice enough and there were enough mushrooms but without the cheese and tomato it was tasteless. The chocolate brownie was delicious.

I went here for an evening meal with friend and really glad that I did, the pizza base was the right thickness, it was nice and cripsy on the edges and the dough was not soggy towards the middle. I ordered the vegeratian pizza and you can see clearly the ingredients was fresh and freshly prepared. The customer service was very good and the waiter was attentive. I sat outside as it was sunny and warm but you can see that inside the restuarant it was intimate and welcoming, you can see the chef making the pizza cooking it in the wood fire oven giving the restuarant a feel of home. I woudl recommend the Honest Italian to my friends.

We ordered home delivery via Deliveroo. Absolutely the best, most authentic pizza I have eaten in the UK. Ever. Can't believe I've been wasting money on PizzaExpress all these years because that's all we knew - when genuine Italian pizza like this is actually right here in our neighbourhood. Can't recommend this highly enough...

Vengo aquí con regularidad (probablemente una vez cada dos meses). La pizza siempre es excelente, pero como han mencionado otros críticos, el restaurante suele estar vacío o casi vacío. El servicio es bueno y amable.Recientemente, obtuvimos un par de conclusiones de aquí durante el cierre del Coronavirus. Es increíblemente rápido. Tiempo transcurrido desde que presionan el pedido en Deliveroo hasta que la pizza se entrega en bicicleta a la puerta de mi casa (aproximadamente a media milla de distancia) = 11 minutos (!)

Ww were absolutely puzzled as to why we were the only people dining in here on a Saturday night (even a wet cold February one) although there was a lot of takeaway delivery activity. This is a real gem on Balham High Road a 'stone's throw' from the station. We received a warm welcome from the staff with the wood fired oven glowing in the background. Great value pizza of the highest quality and better than many I have eaten in Italy. We had a lovely South African Chenin Blanc which was great value too and our food arrived within a few minutes. I hope that the locals will also frequent the place rather than just have their fine food delivered - we will certainly be back - thank you !

Went here for lunch on a very quiet day because of the weather. It's nicely fitted out, attractive environment. Quite small but the food is really excellent.

We found this place quite by accident, looking for somewhere to eat close by the Balham Travelodge. We thought it looked closed at first until we were right in front of it, it was about 10 pm at night and we had had a full day at the tennis in Wimbledon. Lucky for us they were still serving. It is a gem of a place, small, excellent service and the food amazing. Would recommend to anyone who loves pizza!
