• The next Santa Maria restaurant is going to be in Kew

  

  It's been a while since we've had a new Santa Maria pizzeria (the last was in Islington) but they're gearing up for their next - this time in Kew. The restaurant is taking over what recently used to be Hawthorn, but is probably best known for being the site of Glasshouse, which was in this space for over 20 years. 

  Few details have been released, but you can imagine it's going to be a pretty

• Top St Albans pizzeria Gracey's is popping up in Battersea

  

  London's pizza game has improved immeasurably in recent years, but there's also a pizzeria just north of the M25 that everyone's been talking about. Gracey's in St Albans has been getting rave reviews, but not every Londoner wants to travel that far for their pizza fix. 

  But now that's changing as Gracey's have come to London instead. While they've done quick pop-ups before, this is a

• Breadstall takes its pizzas inside with a restaurant in Soho

  

  For years, Sebastian Vince's Breadstall has been one of the most popular pizza places in Battersea and he's spent all that time operating out of a (very big) stall on Northcote Road. However, he's finally getting ready to expand in a very big way as Breadstall is coming to Soho. It'll be opening on Berwick Street (near the market). 

  Breadstall is known for its enormous biga

• Lenny's Apizza is introducing New Haven-style pizza to Finsbury Park

  

  Islington is about to get a very interesting new pizzeria as Lenny's Apizza kicks off a long-term residency in The Bedford Tavern on Seven Sisters Road. 

  Set up by Max Lewis, this will be all about New Haven-style pizza. We'll be honest and say that our pizza knowledge isn't quite on-point in this regard, but it's something that originated in New Haven Connecticut,

  Sager + Wilde has just closed in Bethnal Green, but we already know what will be taking its place. It's going to be the third London pizzeria for Fatto a Mano - you might have already seen them in Covent Garden and King's Cross and they originated from Brighton. 

  As with the other pizzerias in the group, they'll be serving up Neapolitan-style pizzas with 24-hour proven dough and

  Friday nights in Camden are kicking off. Starting this summer Cafe KOKO - the Italian eatery attached to the iconic music venue - is having a series of face-offs between pizza and tacos. The menu, created by the restaurant's Executive Chef Andreas Engberg (La Petite Maison, The Arts Club) sounds great, but we're particularly interested in the limited edition slices and tacos

• Doughnation are bringing potato pizza to Covent Garden

  

  Maybe hoping they'll get the same kind of queues that Alley Cats do, a brand new pizza spot is opening in Covent Garden. Doughnation will be at 3 Henrietta Street, taking over part of the ground floor where Gentlemen Baristas used to be, as well as a terrace on the piazza. 

  Details on exactly what those all pizzas are going to be are being kept a little under wraps for now. However,
