Best Sfincione Palermitano in London
“Thick, spongy, anchovy-oniony, breadcrumbed — Palermo's street pizza doesn't do delicate.”
What the real thing tastes like
Sfincione is Palermo's own: a spongy, focaccia-thick base under a cooked sauce of tomato, onions, and anchovies, scattered with caciocavallo and toasted breadcrumbs instead of a mozzarella blanket. Sold from street carts whose vendors sing its name. Sweet onion, saline anchovy, crunchy crumb — a flavour chord no other pizza plays.

The breadcrumb decision fascinates reviewers most — crunch where the world expects cheese-melt. Cart provenance matters: reviews cite vendor calls and paper wrapping as part of the flavour, and the onion-anchovy sauce depth divides tourists from Palermitani no more than one slice.
