An award-winning Neapolitan pizza restaurant opens next month on Haverstock Hill.
Cinquecento's Italian founders Emanuele and Melo started serving authentic dishes from their native city of Naples a decade ago. Featuring 48-hour fermented dough, based on nonna's secret recipe, the light and fluffy pizzas quickly became a favourite with Londoners and soon they were making upwards of 1,000 a day.
The first restaurant opened in Chelsea in 2019, followed by outlets in Portobello Road and Notting Hill Gate, and the mini chain scooped a London Lifestyle Award this year for casual dining experience.

Owner and designer Jacqui Pittack said: "I am so happy to be launching our first North London restaurant in Haverstock Hill. Many people have said our Chelsea and Notting Hill venues are too far for them so we decided to bring our unique Pizzas to them.
"They also are available on Deliveroo so we can deliver all over London. We really look forward to welcoming some new and old faces to the new Cinquecento."
