Pizza has to be one of life’s greatest pleasures. End of. But a crisp dough, melted cheese and tonnes of toppings can turn out to be a little heavy on the purse strings at times. Here’s a very tempting list of some of the best pizza joints in town (and no, your overpriced Dominoes Meateor didn’t make the cut).
1. Icco
This little haunt in Fitzrovia is home to some of the cheapest and best pizzas in London! Expect to be shocked by a menu that boasts loads of options for only a fiver and nothing going over the £7 mark. These fresh (and amazingly quickly made) pizzas are thin, delicious and oh so moreish.

2. Theo’s
With a simple but thoroughly delicious pizza menu, Theo’s boasts a mean Napoli salami pizza complete with oozy mozzarella and chilli. With most options hovering around the £7 mark, Theo’s proves you needn’t break the bank for a perfect pizza.

3. Pizza East
Pizza East do some pretty delicious pizza, but including drinks, sides and obligatory antipasti, an outing here can stretch the wallet significantly.
Buuuuut, here at Secret London HQ, we know a little hack that can get you a 50% discount off everything on the bill! Just ask for a Pizza East keyring and expect Monday’s to get a whole lot cheerier with half price grub.

With every pizza under £7 and starting at £3.95, you could effectively get 2 entire pizzas for a tenner. Now that’s what we call savvy. Their thin and crispy Roman bases are the stuff of pizza dreams, and you can even get a warm dough ring filled with nutella and mascarpone for afters. Yum!
