Some places stay with you long after you’ve left and Slayer Notting Hill is one of them.
Tucked into Notting Hill, Slayer is a New York–style pizza spot with a relaxed, confident energy. The space feels warm and considered, with an intimate, slightly moody atmosphere that works just as well for a casual evening as it does for an effortless date night. It’s unfussy, well designed, and immediately comfortable.
What We Ordered 🍕
My husband had the Margherita, and I chose the 226 with barbecue dip – both an easy 10/10.
The first thing I noticed was the pizza base. It has a real crunch underneath, with absolutely no flop – crisp, structured, and incredibly satisfying. The kind of base that makes you slow down and genuinely enjoy every bite.
The 226 was exceptional. Described as “tastes like home”, it’s topped with Italian ham and fennel sausage, crispy guanciale, and finished with fresh basil. The flavours are soft, succulent, and deeply comforting, with a perfectly balanced tomato base and cheese. The barbecue dip adds richness without overpowering anything indulgent, but refined.
The Margherita was equally impressive in its simplicity. Slayer’s signature sauce topped with smoked scamorza and mozzarella creates a beautifully balanced, flavourful pizza that proves you don’t need excess when the quality is right.
We’ve genuinely been thinking about this pizza ever since.
Drinks & Dessert
I had a glass of red wine, which paired perfectly with the pizza – smooth, rich, and exactly what I wanted.
We shared the tiramisu to finish. Creamy, light, and enjoyable – a solid 7.8/10. Not the standout of the meal, but a lovely way to end it.
Final Thoughts
Slayer is one of those places that quietly gets everything right. Great food, a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere, and an experience that feels considered without trying too hard.
If you’re looking for proper New York–style pizza in London, with a crisp base, bold flavour, and an effortlessly stylish setting, Slayer Notting Hill is absolutely worth visiting.
