For a fun night out with friends, why not enjoy your own intimate pizza party in the semi-private dining space?

 

Homeslice Pizza

Homeslice started life with just a hand-built wood-fired oven serving their delicious slices around the street food markets of London. 5 years later, and they have 3 fully fledged restaurants, one of which is right around the corner from us on Old Street! Using only the finest seasonal local produce, their wonderfully crisp pizzas come by the slice or by a giant 20″ whole pizza! You can even go 50/50 on the toppings if your dinner partner is being a fussy eater, they can have half margherita and you can have half anchovy, kalamata olives & caramelised onions. All this alongside a great selection of wine, beer and cocktails.

 

Pizza Union

A self-proclaimed ‘superveloce Italiana,’ Pizza Union serves thin and crispy 12” pizzas from dawn to dusk. Enjoy a range of classic pizzas pronto all day at this super fast pizza place in Spitalfields. Using a traditional Roman oven, you can enjoy a fired pizza in a matter of minutes. Employing counter service, a flashing buzzer indicates when your pizza is ready to collect. Sharing tables and exposed breeze block walls enhance the unique atmosphere of this bustling pizza bar.

 

Yard Sale Pizza

Stemming from humble, supper club beginnings in a Homerton backyard, Yard Sale Pizza grew in strength to set up their flagship shop in Clapton. With a mission to produce good quality takeaway pizza, they have since spread their wings to settle in North London too. Open 7 days a week for casual dine-in, takeaway and delivery, Yard Sale Pizza serves 5 staple, stone baked pizzas in addition to weekly rotating specials. Offering salads, sides and homemade dips, you can wash it all down with a selection of soft drinks, beers and wine.

 

Lardo

Another Hackney haunt is Lardo. With its industrial-chic interior, this Italian-inspired restaurant serves home-cured charcuterie and pizzas to the fine folk of London Fields. Boasting a pizza oven in the guise of a giant disco ball (which is the best thing we’ve ever seen), Lardo offers Italian flavour with a New York feel. The pizza menu is continuously updated, with new flavours regularly road tested. From brunch to dinner and drinks, Lardo is a firm neighbourhood favourite.
