Pizza Metro
64 Battersea Rise, SW11 (020 7228 3812, pizzametropizza.com)
This long-established Battersea restaurant was selling pizza "by the metre" 20 years ago. Today pizzas are just a part of a longer menu. It is said that half a metre will feed two - but that really depends on your appetite.

Melito
12 Great Castle Street, W1 (020 7636 6560, melito.co.uk)
Pizzas the Roman way. When pizzas are served by the slice (sometimes called al taglio, meaning "cut") they are usually made rectangular rather than round and tend to be deeper and more substantial. Great if you're greedy. At Melito they serve excellent pizza Roman style, the Margherita is made with Laverstoke Park mozzarella.

Datte Foco
10 Stoke Newington Church Street, N16 (020 7254 6055, dattefoco.co.uk)
This place proclaims that it is a "Pizza and love joint"! They are certainly passionate about pizza al taglio, which is sold by weight here (priced per 100g). As well as the classic "red pizza" and "white pizza" there are a dozen other options including the ominously named "pizza Nutella".

Maletti
26 Noel Street, EC1 (020 7439 4096)
Maletti is so functional that it has become Soho chic. Buy during the lunch peak when the food is fresh from the oven. The sign threatening not to serve you if you are talking on your mobile in the queue appeals greatly.

Portobello Ristorante Pizzeria
7 Ladbroke Road, W11 (020 7221 1373, portobellolondon.co.uk)
The menu is lengthy, with a section headed "pizzametro". You can choose 50cm or the full metre but either way you'll get a pizza made with a 42-hour raised sourdough base.
