Pizza and pups…two of our favourite things and given that pizza is one of the world’s most popular foods, we bet we’re not alone. So to celebrate National Pizza Day, we’re celebrating dog-friendly pizza restaurants in London that give a warm welcome to our four-legged friends too.
You may not be able to dine in these restaurants right now, but when you can, these are the dog-friendly pizza places in London where dining with your dog won’t be a problem at all. In the meantime, picking up a pizza whilst walking the dog is perfectly acceptable, we won’t judge you for it…
Dog-friendly Pizza Restaurants in London with Various Locations
Pizza Pilgrims
Best For: Great pizza and there’s usually one not too far from you when you’re out and about so great for impromptu pizza and pup pitstops. Some Pizza Pilgrim restaurants like the Victoria and West India Quay branches are bigger than others, but even the smaller venues such as Soho often have outdoor seating. A while ago Pizza Pilgrims hosted a doggy pizza day in London which was the best dog-friendly day ever. We (and pups all over London) only wish they would do it again.
Where: Carnaby, Camden, Covent Garden, Exmouth Market, Shoreditch, Soho, City, London Bridge, Victoria, West India Quay, pizzapilgrims.co.uk
Takeaway and Delivery: Click & Collect via the Pizza Pilgrims website or via Deliveroo
Homeslice
Best For: Delicious pizzas whole or by the slice, with vegan options available. Due to the open kitchens, dogs are only allowed on the outside eating areas at Homeslice, but cute little ‘Homedog’ water bowls are provided.
Where: Shoreditch, White City, City, Marylebone, Neal’s Yard, homeslicepizza.co.uk
Takeaway and Delivery: Delivery via Supper London, Deliveroo and Uber Eats or Collection available from Shoreditch, White City and Marylebone – check opening times as these vary by location

Where: 324 King’s Road, SW3 5UR, humblepizza.co.uk
Takeaway and Delivery: Takeaway and via Deliveroo
The Dynamo
Best for: Those who love pizza, cycling and pups. This cycling-themed restaurant in Putney has loads of space which is a bonus for the cyclists and the dogs dining with their humans. Dogs are served their own plate of treats so they won’t feel left out whilst you tuck into one of the delicious pizzas that all have cycling-themed names obviously. Vegan pizza options are available. Read our review of The Dynamo here.
Where: 200-204 Putney Bridge Road, Putney, SW15 2NA, the-dynamo.co.uk

Where: Brixton, Honor Oak Park, Peckham, Ladywell, Sydenham, South Norwood, Tooting Bec, mammadough.co.uk

Mother London Pizza
Best For: Great pizza in a unique setting. Hailing originally from Copenhagen, Mother’s second home is now in London, tucked under Battersea Power Station’s railway arches. Mother London is known for its sourdough pizzas made with purified seawater instead of the usual salt and water. The restaurant can get quite busy on the weekend evenings, so probably best to visit at other times if your dog is dining with you.
Where: Battersea Power Station, 2 Arches Lane, SW11 8AB, motherrestaurant.co.uk
Takeaway and Delivery: Mother London is currently closed until restrictions are eased
Mercato Metropolitano
Best For: Impromptu dog-friendly dining in a unique indoor/outdoor setting.

Dog-friendly Pizza Restaurants in London – Central
40 Dean St
Best For: Cosy authentic Italian dining in Central London. There may only be a few pizzas on the menu at 40 Dean Street, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay this London favourite a visit. The team at 40 Dean Street loves dogs, but dining with your dog is probably best at non-peak times as this is a small restaurant.
Where: 40 Dean St, Soho, W1D 4PX, fortydeanstreet.com
Takeaway and Delivery: 40 Dean Street is currently closed until restrictions are eased
Mercato Mayfair

Mercato Mayfair is smaller than it’s sister location Mercato Metropolitano but also home to Fresco Neopolitan Pizza. Dogs are very welcome on a lead as featured in our Dog-friendly London Mercato Mayfair review.

Sodo Pizza
Best for: East Londoners looking for delicious sourdough pizza accompanied by natural wine, as featured in the Standard’s Best Pizza in London 2020 list.
Where: Walthamstow, Clapton, Bethnal Green. When dining in is an option, reservations are advised due to the size of the restaurants, sodopizza.co.uk

Takeaway and Delivery: Radio Alice is currently closed until restrictions are eased
Dog-friendly Pizza Restaurants in London – West
Heist Bank
Best For: Grabbing a pizza after your dog-friendly Go Boat experience on Regent’s Canal, or if you just happen to be in the area. We had one of the best pizzas we have had in a long time at this industrial-chic pizza spot in Paddington so can highly recommend it.
Where: 5 N Wharf Rd, Paddington, W2 1LA, heistbank.com
Takeaway and Delivery: Heist Bank is currently closed until restrictions are eased
Da Mario
Best For: Princess Diana fans. Famous not only for its fabulous food but also because Princess Diana used to take William and Harry there for lunch. This family-run trattoria on Gloucester Road can be relied on to serve up delicious pizza (or pasta) and a warm welcome. Although you’ll have to get a table first, which may prove very tricky without a booking on the weekends. Best for small dogs due to the restaurant size and layout.

Takeaway and Delivery: Da Mario is currently closed until restrictions are eased
