Ria's

"Pizza, the patron saint of beige Hinge chat, should only be deployed when you’re sure that this person is going to show Ria’s Detroit-style pies the respect they deserve. The pillowy, square pizza at this Notting Hill wine bar is handily served by the slice for carbohydrate commitment-phobes and topped with things like whipped ricotta and slow-cooked marinara sauce. Order a zippy pét-nat, cosy up on the cushion-clad banquette, and let all the dim lighting convince you you’re in the ‘rom’ part of a west London rom-com. " - heidi lauth beasley

"Idyllic coffee shop by day, neighbourhood wine bar and pizza spot by night, Ria’s does it all. The intimate, sky blue dining room is filled with quiet chatter, as friends lean back on the cushioned oak benches—pét-nat in hand, whipped ricotta and tomato slice on the mind. The roasted king prawn number is the real standout. Prawns, marinated in fiery salsa macha, are placed on top of an airy, light base, and topped with slow-cooked marinara and a creamy parmesan drizzle. The deep-pan Detroit-style pizzas are excellent and it’s perfect for a third date or a catch-up with friends." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"In Ria’s, a charming Notting Hill wine bar-cum-pizza place, Ria Morgan has created a toasty little spot where you can enjoy excellent Detroit-style pizza and maybe spot a dog wearing a £48 COS sweater. Friends lean back on the cushioned oak benches—pét nat in hand, whipped ricotta and tomato slice on the mind. A dinner here can never not feel intimate." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"Is it a wine bar? Is it a pizza place? Is it a charming little space in Notting Hill where you’re likely to see a dog wearing a £48 COS sweater? Yes, yes, and (if you’re lucky) yes. Ria’s is a wine bar, but there’s even more to love about this toasty spot than just its great bottles. Think, liberal portions of whipped ricotta and excellent Detroit-style pizza too. The square slices are so good we’d make the trip to eat them without the promise of spotting a fully clothed dog. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

Quiet chatter fills this small, baby blue room, as friends (with benefits) lean back on the cushioned oak benches—pét-nat in hand, whipped ricotta and tomato slice on the mind. The roasted king prawn pizza from Ria’s is a real standout. " - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
