Creative Detroit-style pizzas with crispy cheese edges and strong wine program; excellent for flavor-seekers, but time-limited seating, inconsistent service, and pricey wines can frustrate.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Ria's delivers excellent food quality with signature Detroit-style pies featuring caramelised cheese edges and creative toppings that draw diners across town. However, inconsistent execution—occasional cold slices and topping sparseness—combined with tight quarters and time-limited seating that can feel rushed during peak hours prevent a higher grade. The intimate, candlelit setting and strong wine program add appeal, but operational constraints and pricey wine relative to the casual vibe keep this competitive neighborhood favorite from reaching premier status.
Restaurant Summary
A cosy Notting Hill nook where Detroit-style pies arrive with caramelised cheese edges and a low-lit, intimate mood. Service is often warm and personable—guests call out servers by name—yet the small room and tight time slots can mean a brisk pace. One diner summed it up: "The crust crackles, the hot honey sings, and the room hums." Wines lean natural and fun, though a few felt the list was pricey for the vibe. The culinary approach leans creative and ingredient-led: expect fusion-leaning toppings like hot honey, salsa macha prawns, and vegan nduja on an airy, focaccia-like base with that signature crunchy edge. Most praise the pepperoni and soppressata as the sure bet, while the mushroom white pie reads subtle to some palates. Portions are generous—many report a single slice is plenty—so a side of fried potatoes with whipped feta turns dinner into a feast. Families will find kid-accessible options in the House Pie, crispy potatoes, and a soft-serve finish. That said, bolder flavors (blue cheese drizzle, spicy chillies, hot honey) and a compact dining room with time-limited seating may not suit very picky eaters or slow, lingering meals. For a smoother family visit, aim off-peak and keep orders on the simpler side.
