L'Antico Restaurant Pizzeria

Walk into L'Antico on King's Road in Chelsea and you're immediately hit with that unmistakable smell of a wood-fired oven doing its thing. The room buzzes with a mix of locals who've been coming for years and people who've just discovered the place, all crammed around tables that sit just close enough to make it feel convivial rather than cramped. You'll get proper pizzas here—charred crusts, quality toppings, none of that stretched-too-thin nonsense—at prices that won't require a second mortgage. It's the kind of place you end up at on a Friday night and suddenly it's 11pm and you've had three glasses of wine and another pizza somehow appeared.
