Pizza for the Whole block

A hand lifting a slice of pepperoni pizza from the pie, the cheese stretching

Since 1994 on the same corner, with the same oven and the same noisy tables. Some things never go out of fashion because they were never a fashion.

See my pies Book a table
Many hands reaching for slices from one big pizza on a shared table

As you'll see, I'm not very fancy. I'm more of a shared-table, extra-napkins and one-more-slice kind of place.

Thin in the middle, puffed at the edge, eaten with hands. The neighbours have been squeezing round my tables for thirty years, and I like it loud.

Meet my people

I take my time

Every pie you eat here started two days before you sat down. Five steps, no shortcuts, the same since my first night on Example Street.

  1. Step 1

    Rest

    Forty-eight hours in the cold. The dough does the work, I just wait.

  2. Step 2

    Knead

    By hand, at seven in the morning, before the street wakes up.

  3. Step 3

    Stretch

    Fingers from the middle out. A rolling pin never touches it.

  4. Step 4

    Sauce

    Plum tomatoes, salt and one spiral of it. Nothing else.

  5. Step 5

    Fire

    Ninety seconds in the wood oven. Puffed, spotted, done.

The house rule

Nobody leaves my tables still hungry. If you're wavering, the answer is always yes.

One more slice

After ten at night the last slice on the table is on the house.

My pies

Some days spicier, some days softer. The dough never changes. Four that never leave the menu, and a special on the board most nights.

The little slice window

No table? No problem. The hatch on Example Street opens at eleven and closes when the last tray is gone. Slices are cut big, folded in paper, eaten on the kerb.

My people

They come for the pizza. They stay for the gossip.

Every single week

Three nights when the room turns into something else. Come early, there are never enough chairs.

Asked at the counter

The things the neighbours ask me most. Anything else, shout through the hatch.

Can I book for a big group?

Up to twenty-four of you on the long table, any night but Thursday. Book through the form below or call the shop.

Is there anything gluten-free?

Yes: a gluten-free base for any pie, baked on its own tray. Tell us about any allergy when you order.

Are dogs welcome?

Very. Water bowl by the door, crusts by negotiation.

Do you deliver?

Within a mile of Example Street on our own bike, from five o'clock every night we're open.

Can I take dough home?

Dough balls are £2 each at the slice window, rested and ready to stretch. Bake them as hot as your oven goes.

What brings you here?

Tell me what you need and we'll sort it, love. We answer the same day, usually between two pies.
