Pizza East

Cool, edgy vibe here. We sat at the counter overlooking the pizza chefs preparing pizzas right across from the oven. We think that the counter is the best place to sit in the entire dining room if there are only 2 of you. We got to watch our pizzas being made. We ordered the Buffalo Mozzarella Tomato Basil pizza, the Spicy Sausage Mozzarella Broccoli (note it is broccoli rabe / tenderstem) and the Butter Lettuce Avocado Vinaigrette Salad. On another visit we ordered the Veal Meatballs Prosciutto Cream and Sage and Lasagna. 1 pizza will definitely fill you up, so if you go with other people you should all order a different pizza so you can taste everything. The crust is delicious and I'm not normally a pizza crust eater. I would pass on ordering the Butter Lettuce salad as the vinaigrette is a bit heavy. Their Jug of Pimms cocktail is really nice with lots of fruit. Also, note that they have Cowshed brand soap and hand lotion in their public restrooms. I've also been to the Pizza East in Kentish Town and had a positive experience there as well. Great place to meet up with friends.

Solid joint for good pizza and a variety of other eats. The veal meatballs with prosciutto and cheese was a tasty treat and a large serve for one or two to share.

I enjoyed the side dishes of the sweet potato with wild rice and creme fresh. It had a hidden spice and went down smooth. The pesto garlic bread was also a nice addition.

They have a full bar along with cold pressed juices that hit the spot. Many patrons also enjoyed coffee in the casual and fun atmosphere.

Service was definitely lacking as our table and another party took several minutes to get our orders taken. The bar seemed to get many drink orders wrong and then another couple had to wait for cutlery to eat. They could use a bit of cleaning up to make this worthy of a return visit.

Pizza East. Great pizza!

This is my first time at Pizza East in Nottinghill, but I have been to the Shoreditch branch. Both of my visits I have been very pleased with the food.

I went for the Pork Belly Pizza. It was incredible! The pizza is rustic and crispy with a good amount of soft pork belly meat and crispy crackling. It's a really good pizza.

The atmosphere was good in this branch, the restaurant had all its doors open so it was mostly open to the street which was buzzing with the portobello market outside.

I'll definitely be back to Pizza East.

Fantastic corner location this pizza restaurant does more than great pizzas.
I have eaten in the restaurant itself many times but tried the take away service for the first time and was a little apprehensive that it wouldn't be as good but I was proven wrong. The pizzas were as tasty as ever and my favourite dish, mac and cheese, was even better eaten at home sat on the sofa.
The restaurant has seating both upstairs and downstairs and a bar to have a drink while you wait for either a table or your food to take away with you.
I would definitely recommend Pizza East to anyone, pizza lover or not you will find something you love on the menu

Came for brunch. Had the 'full English' ..... Missing a few ingredients and I didn't recognise the sausage. Tasty enough, not my usual fry up tho!

I'd pop in again as it's worth visiting for brunch.lunch.dinner if you're getting 50% discount.

This review is purely for the breakfast experience I just had so read on if you're interested in coming here in the AM.

I live in the neighborhood and often frequent Pizza East. The decor is very cute and the area is wonderful. But the breakfast is SAD. Service was non existent. Made a reservation and the hostess seemed bothered, had to ask twice to get water, and then had the worst avocado toast of my life. You may think you can't mess up avocado toast. And I would normally agree with you. But apparently you can, and Pizza East has mastered messing it up. It was bland, unseasoned, the toast was so hard, thin, and cold, the eggs were barely cooked, and the avocado wasn't smashed at all. Overall it was the saddest breakfast. Don't spend £22 on a coffee and two bland avocado toasts. You're better than that.

This is one of the best restaurants I've been to in London & I've been to a lot from the Pubs to the Ivy. Seriously the service is fantastic & personal. The staff really seem to love their jobs & they want you to love the food as much as they do! They're all Italians probably why they're so lovely!!!
We went on a Friday night & had a fabulous meal. A bunch of started, pork belly, salad, burrata. Pizza. All of it was spot on & amazing. Go! You will not regret it. Good winelist too. Had a Nebbiolo if memory serves.

I had an amazing experience coming to Pizza East near Ladbroke Grove. First of all, the pizza was amazing but in the beginning they mistaken my order because at first I wanted to have a pepperoni pizza and the friendly Slovakian waitress, Monica, thought I meant red peppers on top of my pizza but I meant the red meat, pepperoni. I then told her after getting my first pizza that was mistaken and she felt very bad and sorry for me, I then explained what I really meant to have and i even showed both Monica and the cook a picture of the pizza I wanted. Then they remade the pizza for me and it turned out the way I exactly wanted! Because she felt bad Monica gave me the pizza they made a mistake on for me to take home for FREE! I thought this was very friendly for her to do this and afterwards we had a friendly conversation, and I told her I'm from United States but I come to London often and this actually was the night before my trip to Brussels and she wished me a good trip to Belgium and told me I must come back after my trip and after returning back to England I stopped by but unfortunately she wasn't working/there. Overall I had an amazing experience and I am thankful I came here as this was my first time at this restaurant. AMAZING experience. I'll come back when I return back to UK in July 2020. Thank you.

If you're ever after a quick bite with good service this is the place to go. Situated on the corner, there's wrap around outdoor seating for sunny days and plenty of room upstairs and downstairs. The food is consistent and good everytime. Weekends are busier with the Portobello market on, but you should be able to get a table easy during weekday lunches.

Friendliest most helpful folks Showed up here jet lagged, a little turned around and thirsty. Apparently mimosa is not the right word for bubbly wine and orange juice. But they made it happen! Turned the day around. And the pizza and the pizza makers..,,."bellisimo".

The time my mac n cheese was cold, burnt, and dropped on the floor...

All that and still 3 stars? It's a nice place, with a good energetic vibe which is also relaxing as well. Some minor celebs were enjoying themselves on a busy Saturday night and we were led to the upstairs dining room which was equally as nice.

Starters of Wild Boar and cime di rapa, and asparagus croquettes were great. Then we waited for around 45 minutes until our mains came. The burrata pizza although not piping hot tasted fantastic. Is burrata just great for anything???

My mac n cheese was unfortunately cold in the middle. The waitress was very apologetic and offered to have it heated up for us. 10 minutes later I hear a crash on the stairs, a runner had unfortunately fallen over carrying a pizza and another plate of food. I felt bad for the runner, but wondered whether they would still serve the food the had been dropped. Oooh the suspense...

The manager rushed to help the waiter up, collected the food, put it on the bar and tried to make the two plates presentable. I gasped and laughed. But then one of the plates came towards our table. It was a burnt looking mac n cheese. A burnt mac n cheese that had an accident on the stairs. It wasn't so funny when it was my food! I wonder who got the pizza?

Anyway, after being a bit cold, then burnt, then taking a trip on the stairs, a mac n cheese was finally placed in front of me. We told our waitress who did not see the event what happened and she offered to get us another one. By this time we had been there a while and I didn't fancy waiting for another fresh one. The manager who tried to pass off the floored food offered us free desserts but we declined as we had to go, but she did give us a free round of drinks and a free mac n cheese to takeaway.

The mac n cheese as it turned out was ok, not the best in London but nothing to complain about if it isn't cold, burnt, or hasn't been dropped on the floor.

All this and Pizza East still gets 3 stars, service was slow, albeit during a busy night, but the starters and pizza were really good. Maybe I was in a good mood despite "mac n cheese-gate", but what happened wasn't a reflection on Pizza East I don't think. The kitchen was busy so they tried to rush the food out and it wasn't hot. The runner didn't trip up on the stairs on purpose. But the manager made a very poor decision in trying to serve food that had been on the floor, she deserves 1 star, Pizza East 4 stars for the food and vibe, and our waitress 5 stars for trying to rectify things.

Still... quite an entertaining and memorable meal on my girlfriend's birthday weekend, but some people's decision making under pressure is highly questionable. I wonder how someone who thinks it's acceptable to serve food that has been dropped on the floor can become a restaurant manager for someone like Soho House. Is this a reflection on the employment market of the restaurant industry? I know front of house staff work long hours, have to put up with fussy customers and poor wages but serving food dropped on the floor?! You're better than that, or maybe this just isn't the job for you.
