Review: Pizza East Kentish Town, Camden - Les Greedy Cochons
food
After making the terrible decision to try Pizza East’s pizzas our lives completely changed.
All thanks to the doughy, cheesy, gooey deliciousness that is Pizza East.
Thanks guys… We went to Pizza East on a nice Saturday evening, blissfully unaware that our lives were about to change.
To start with the place has a great atmosphere, with a sharp industrial decor – think exposed pipes and subway tiles – and hunks of dried meat hanging from the ceiling, not forgetting of course the proper wood fire oven in which the pizzas are cooked.
So if you want to eat amazing pizza and have a nice evening out, then Pizza East will be the perfect place for you.
Pizza East Brunch - Kentish Town, London — The Goodden Life
menu food
We mulled over the menu whilst sipping an Aperol Spritz and quickly realized that we wouldn’t be ordering pizzas, it was the Antipasti that we were all drawn to.
Pancetta wrapped figs with Burrata and the Crispy Pigs ears were an absolute standout.
As was the crispy squid, the crispy fried lemon and capers were a tasty, unique touch.
Instead of Pizza, we went for the Pizzette option of Veal Meatballs with cream, prosciutto and sage.
I’m a sucker for a cream base but a whole pizza can be all too much, this smaller option was perfectly manageable.
Pizza East, Kentish Town
Pizza East Kentish Town - which lives on Highgate Road between the tube stations of Kentish Town proper and Gospel Oak - is the third in the Pizza East London family (alongside big brothers, Portobello and Shoreditch).
As the name suggest, this modern pizzeria knows a thing or two about rustic pizzas produced using traditional, seasonal ingredients.
All pizzas are made in a ciabatta style, which uses handmade slow-proved dough that the staff create each day.
Housed on the ground floor of Highgate Studios, Pizza East is a stripped-back space with steel beams, wooden floors, huge windows, brickwork and bare concrete and holds about 150 hungry diners, who can be seated on vintage chairs while the open kitchen uses wood-fired ovens.

food
Because there was nothing to eat at the Chicken Shop.
Chickens turn and blacken on a medieval-looking wood-fired spit, a man in a chain-mail glove hacks them into quarters, and your order of a whole, half or quarter bird arrives without delay.
Spicy but not too much so, blackened but not excessively, it is, yes, finger-lickin’ chicken.
The price of the free-range chooks appears keen, but profit-boosting sides such as great crinkle-cut chips and aïoli mayo dip, red cabbage coleslaw with a more creamy than tangy dressing, and a salad of butter lettuce (old-fashioned floppy leaves rebranded) with avocado, redress the balance.
Wines are wittily bracketed into house, decent and good, red, white and rosé; not so amusing is the outrageous mark-up on the prosecco.

Pizza is obviously the main event, with imaginatively matched toppings on bases made from a ciabatta-style dough.
Prices start from just £6 for buffalo mozzarella, tomato and basil, and rise to £13 for one with San Daniele ham, datterini tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella.
Nearly every topping has an alluring twist, as in the creamy burrata cheese paired with tomato, aubergine and chilli, and the generous scattering of wild mushrooms with Fontina cheese that we ordered.
Three antipasti were outstanding, especially aubergines with salted ricotta and tomatoes and addictive prosciutto croquettes (both £4).
Mains of chicken stew in a Le Creuset casserole (£8 bargain) and beef lasagne (£7), with notably nutmeggy ragù, were even better than the pizza.
