The Three JohnsB+

73 White Lion St, London N1 9PF · Bar · Islington

A handsome Angel pub with excellent pizzas, strong beer selection, and friendly service; lively and can get loud.

The verdict

The Three Johns competes well with the area's better neighborhood restaurants through standout Neapolitan pizzas with generous portions and genuinely friendly, attentive service. Striking interior design and a lively Angel location create appealing atmosphere, though occasional consistency lapses and peak-hour crowding prevent higher distinction. A reliable choice for casual dining and pre-event bites.

About this restaurant

This Angel pub mixes handsome interiors with a lively crowd and standout pizzas. Service gets shout-outs by name, like a guest who said a bartender "talked me through allergens and checked in". It is welcoming and socially buzzy, though peak times can be loud. The cooking leans classic Neapolitan with quality ingredients rather than flashy twists. Expect well-fired bases, generous toppings, and a few spicy options with 'nduja. It fits after-work drinks, pre-gig bites, and casual dates where good pizza and beer are the main event. Families will do well here thanks to the pizza-forward menu and shareable portions. There is no specific kids menu, but straightforward options like Margherita, Garlic Bread, and Caprese suit younger eaters. Come earlier for a calmer room and kid-friendly simplicity.
