Excellent London pizzerias are ten a penny these days, but at Ealing’s homage to Naples, Santa Maria, there remains something original. Flash-cooking in a wood-fired oven blisters the crust, while the interior remains chewy and yields spectacularly. Toppings are almost accessories, given the quality of the base, but there too, there’s quality — nduja, fior di latte, the tomatoes. It's far out of town, but worth the journey.
