PROJECT PIZZA « Green & Fortune Cafe

Project Pizza serves homemade, thin and crispy pizzas.

Our two state of the art TurboChef fire ovens cook dough at temperatures up to 450°C, meaning we can provide artisan-hearth style pizzas with an authentic taste in as little as two minutes.

That’s fresh and fast pizzas!

A margherita will cost you 6.50 and meat or vegetarian 7.50 but for summer, enjoy pizza for lunch at just 5.50 from 12-5pm Monday – Friday.

Look out for our loyalty card ‘Take another little pizza my heart’.

Review analysis

In the impressive new King's Place arts-and-office building, a good-all-round British brasserie, occupying a bright canalside site.

Only the French ever really seem to have had particular success at elevating the big-city, semi-formal dining experience they call a brasserie to anything resembling an art form, It's such a useful, all-purpose concept, we've often wondered why there aren't more French-style brasseries in London.

It's just possible that the dining area in the new King's Place development is part of a new style of operation that's beginning to appear - 'British brasseries' that work!

King's Place would certainly be a suitable place to figure in a 'new wave', It represents a truly enlightened bit of capitalism which has given London its first major chamber music hall since, ooh, the Purcell Room, and one of the most elegant 'venues' in London of any type.

It was the large and nicely balanced menu, however, that seemed to us to be an emulation of what you might see in a good French brasserie, without seeming in the slightest to be some sort of pastiche.

Rotunda Restaurant at Kings Place Arts Centre - Rotunda Review

Kings Place turned out to be somewhere I’m actually embarrassed I hadn’t found before – a new privately funded arts centre, complete with the first new concert hall since the opening of the Barbican centre, visual arts spaces and the Rotunda Restaurant.

My invitation, though, was actually to the main restaurant for the Arts Centre, The Rotunda.

Food, according to the Rotunda website, is a  seasonal, modern British menu that features mouth-watering meat cuts from their own farm in Northumberland and fresh fish caught earlier that very day.

Rotunda really came into its own with the main course we ordered to share.

Apart from the small plates, the steaks and farm classics and ‘large plates’ which include vegetarian and pescatarian options, Rotunda has a set menu available at lunch and pre-theatre (up to 7.30pm) with two courses of £19.50 and three for £24.50.

Restaurant review: Rotunda, London N1 - Telegraph

B’s beetroot salad (£7.95) was less successful, mainly because it was the wrong temperature.

B asked, predicting the fiscal apocalypse only a course ago but still not ready for a world where a fancy restaurant gets dressing out of a jar.

B had a rather fancy-looking plate of cheesecake, with a blood-orange drizzle, some actual blood orange, and an ice cream that should have been a sorbet (again with the over-richness).

The Theatre Royal’s linen-dressed restaurant serves confit of duck leg with tarragon new potatoes, buttered cabbage and smoked bacon velouté (£19.95 for three courses).

Home to three orchestras, including the Hallé, this sculptural building offers waterside views from its restaurant.
