Square Meal Review of Pizza East ?

A restored Georgian boozer at the ‘wrong’ end of Portobello Road is the site for the second Pizza East. There’s a rustic-industrial look to the ground floor, with painted metal chairs, reclaimed tiles & shabbily distressed wall panelling, while upstairs has a more sedate, stylish feel. The deliberate lack of refinement extends to the menu, which combines Italian country cooking with the sourcing credentials of Californian cuisine. Inventive pizzas with toppings such as courgette flower, ricotta & marjoram sit alongside dishes from the wood-fired oven – perhaps succulent Creedy Carver chicken with roast potatoes, slow-cooked cherry tomatoes & a dollop of proper mayonnaise. Excellent antipasti include bone-marrow bruschetta & ‘beaten pollock’ (a sustainable take on salt-cod brandade) & there’s salted chocolate caramel tart for a sweet-toothed finish. Top Italian cheeses, too.

    A bit like a school dining room complete with school glasses, wooden chairs and school cuttlery but not a bad place for weekend brunch. The brunch menu is fairly limited and a little random (e.g. green eggs and ham / chilli avocado on toast) but be brave as the food actually tastes pretty good. Portions are a little on the small side but prices are reasonable and so my tip would be to order a few dishes for the table to share. P.S. If you don't want to be surrounded by children, avoid weekend lunchtimes.

    The new pizzeria on Portobello Road is causing a stir. It's been packed out every day since opening. The only slow service (according to the waiter) is breakfast (served from 8am)
    We were told that garlic bread was ‘instantaneous’ however it took a while to arrive and when it did – it was burnt. Once this was pointed out to the waiter it was replaced in an instant and removed from the bill. Hence the marking of 9/10 for service. The pizzas were good – not outstanding. The lasagne was really good and the roasted meats and fish which were displayed openly infront of teh wood fire oven looked incredible. My husbands pork belly pizza had more pork on it than a city farm – he was positively oinking about it. I will be back.
