Berberè Pizzeria Marylebone brings naturally leavened sourdough pizza to James Street in central London. Open daily for lunch and dinner, this relaxed all-day pizzeria serves up artisanal Italian pizzas with a communal, contemporary twist.
The dough is the star here - made from a living sourdough starter using semi-whole organic flours, it’s left to rise for 24 hours before baking. The result is a light, digestible crust that’s soft on the inside, crisp on the outside and made for sharing. Each pizza is sliced into eight, encouraging diners to try multiple flavours together.
The menu includes classics like Margherita, marinara and Napoli, as well as modern toppings like spicy salami and ’nduja, burrata, smashed falafel, gorgonzola with spinach and red onion, and mushroom with truffle. Pizzas are served with a choice of creamy crust dipping sauces and vegetarian and vegan options are clearly marked.
Montanarins - deep-fried sourdough dough balls - are a signature starter, offered in four hot, crunchy versions. There are also mixed antipasti, salads and garlic bread, along with a short dessert menu. To drink, Berberè offers a curated list of natural Italian wines, beers and easygoing cocktails, all designed to pair well with the food.
The decor is simple and rustic, with mismatched wooden tables, exposed brick walls, industrial-style lighting and open shelves lined with bottles. A small outdoor terrace with an awning and leafy tree offers alfresco dining during warmer months, adding to the charm.
Berberè Pizzeria Marylebone is dog-friendly, located near Baker Street and Marylebone High Street. With most pizzas priced under £15, it’s an accessible choice for easygoing Italian dining, whether you’re catching up with friends, family or work colleagues.
