About Santa Maria Pizzeria Fitzrovia
Santa Maria Pizzeria Fitzrovia is an Italian pizza restaurant on New Cavendish Street, working from a wood-fired oven for its Neapolitan-style menu of 59 dishes. Traditional and vegan pizzas both appear, alongside options such as the Aubergine Parmigiana, and gluten free dough can be swapped in for any pizza. A wine and drink list runs alongside the food. The restaurant does not take cash, and a 12.5% service charge is added automatically to every bill. It opens daily, and reservations are recommended given the limited seating. Outdoor seating is available for those who prefer to eat outside, and the step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs. Dogs are welcome, high chairs are available for families with young children, and both takeaway and delivery let diners eat off site. The pizzeria sits near BT Tower in Fitzrovia.

Customer Review Summary
Neapolitan pizza is the clear draw here, with reviewers repeatedly praising the wood-fired dough as soft, fluffy, and perfectly charred, whether in the Margherita, the Buffalina, or the Nduja pizza. Close behind, several single out the gluten-free dough option, the aubergine parmigiana with meatballs, and the bread with olive oil as standouts, and desserts like tiramisu and the Nutella donut draw consistent approval. Many reviews highlight individual staff members and a pizzaiolo by name for warm, attentive service, though one diner reports the same chef's absence one visit led to a noticeably worse pizza. A few note the space is small with limited seating, and one reviewer found the food merely fine for the price, objecting to staff clearing plates too quickly and to the automatic 12.5% service charge on a cash-free bill. One reviewer walked in after a football match expecting just a quick dinner and left saying a single staff member running the whole restaurant alone still kept things friendly and calm throughout.

“The pizza tasted great as great as it looked. I had a portion of olives on the side which were also very good, if you are an olive loved they won't disappoint. The aperitivo/drink (here a limoncello spritz) tasted okay, it was more of a gamble on my part as I don't usually have limoncello but I was plesently surprised. The staff was very responsive and friendly. Would recommend if you're feeling like having some pizza.”

“Pizza was fine, but nothing special for the price. Staff were attentive (too much so in my opinion). Some Italians on the neighbouring table were annoyed by the waitress swooping to try and remove their half eaten salad. I was similar miffed but at least I managed to have picked up my last piece of pizza before the waiter pounced. Just leave it 10 seconds please! Note: 12.5% service charge automatically added to the bill and they don't take cash”

“Amazing pizza with a perfectly crispy crust, fresh toppings, and plenty of cheese. Every bite was flavorful, and the ingredients tasted fresh. Great service and a cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you're craving delicious pizza!”

“What a great little pizza place, the food was amazing. The aubergine parmigiana and the meatballs were absolutely delicious, and it came with a side of fresh bread to scoop up all that tasty fresh tomato sauce. The pizzas were way authentic and full of flavour with good quality ingredients. The dough has the perfect balance of softness but also being crispy at the same time. The service was very good, the staff were really friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I found the prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food, and when compared to other pizza places. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys traditional Neapolitan-style pizza with good prices, great food and excellent service.”
