Pizzeria Madre
London, Canada
The read// why locals go
Pizzeria Madre is a single-location Neapolitan pizzeria on Thames Street, built around a naturally leavened sourdough starter. The name is the giveaway: madre is the mother starter, and the dough it raises is the whole argument of the place. There is one thing done properly here rather than a long card of options, and it comes with its own dining room, no reservations, and no second branch in another city. The pizzeria moved from its original Wellington Street address to the current Thames Street unit, and the kitchen came with it intact. For anyone who measures a pizzeria by its crust rather than its toppings, this is London's address.
