What people say, in short
50 Kalò near Embankment and Trafalgar Square is repeatedly recommended for Neapolitan pizza, with one diner returning to defend it as a favourite. It is also divisive: critics find it overhyped, and separate visitors describe oily toppings, a dry and chewy pizza or a soggy centre. Those are individual experiences rather than a universal verdict; the disagreement is about taste and texture, not just its reputation.
