Eat, Pray, Love: London gets that famous pizza

 

The Naples pizzeria that's featured in the Julia Roberts movie "Eat, Pray, Love" is now opening a branch in London, in Stoke Newington, in mid-November

It's the first European (for now, it still is!) branch of Antica Pizzeria da Michele, the 150-year-old restaurant that many call the best pizza in the world. 

The London branch is decorated with memorabilia both of the founding Condurro family and Julia Roberts. Alessandro Condurro, a 5th-generation member of the family is in charge of the London branch. He told an Italian newspaper "The smell of the pizzeria in Naples is unique and unrepeatable, but we're trying to create the same atmosphere."

Although only Italian ingredients will be used, there may additional flavors besides the margherita and the marinara, the only two served in Naples. There are two other branches, both in Japan.

If you can't wait to get to the store, here's a clip of Julia Roberts eating the pizza. Not her first movie pizza, either. Remember Mystic Pizza, 1988?

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
