Napoli on the Road

Napoli on the Road was named the World's Best Pizzeria for 2026 by 50 Top Pizza, with the whole project credited to a single named maker, Michele Pascarella. Independent local reviewers across seven years — Andy Hayler in 2019, The Nudge in 2024, and two London writers in 2026 — describe a specific, evolving dough (OO flour blended with a higher-bran flour at Chiswick, rested 24–48 hours; Molino Denti flour fermented 36 hours for the newer Soho tasting menu) and named wood ovens at each site. It clears the specialist floor comfortably on all three counts.
