This trendy spot, conveniently located near Portobello Road, specialises in Detroit-style pizza and offers a curated selection of natural wines. Their dough, made from Wildfarmed flour, undergoes a slow fermentation process for up to 72 hours, resulting in a perfectly crispy pizza with a soft, chewy crust. Although natural wine is their speciality, they also offer a variety of cocktails on tap by Blacklines and a selection of draft beers. The vibe is modern and warm, featuring neutral tones accented with sky-blue wood panelling. Dine indoors or, weather permitting, sip on your pét-nats streetside out front.
