Have been been on a little pizza quest the last few weeks, here's what I've found...
Yardsale, Clapton. Absolutely terrible. It's sourdough base, so if you leave it sitting for longer than 30 seconds it turns into toasted leather and is just a cold unfulfilling workout for your jaw. Marmite cheese bread is great though. Have made the mistake of ordering pizza there more than once and it's been shite every time.
Franco Manca, Broadway Market. Average. Was overstretched and pretty bland. Cursed sourdough base again, was a problem even straight from the oven.
Pizza Pilgrims, Shoreditch. At last, a good pizza, they do exist in London! Had high hopes when I read that they used 48hr cold proofed dough. Cheese distribution on my margherita left something to be desired, but maybe they don't pay as much attention when preparing the cheapest item on the menu. Would gladly go back and try one of their more complex offerings.
Made in Puglia, Hackney Wick. Excellent. Figured I might be in good hands when I saw the fresh white Gozney pro oven in that tiny unit. Managed to eat an entire nduja pizza and garlic bread on my own, it was that good.
Coming from making my own pizza with a Roccbox during the summer, I was really let down by those first two places compared to what I could make on my own. But the latter two have redeemed things, thankfully.
