Just a stone’s throw from Brixton station, 500 Degrees is a popular Italian eatery specialising in pizza. The name is inspired by its traditional wood fired oven, which reaches temperatures of 500 degrees celsius to achieve the ultimate crisp base.
This lively spot is a great destination for your Christmas celebration. Keep it casual and choose 500 Degrees as an untraditional festive meal out with family or colleagues, or opt for exclusive hire and benefit from private use of the whole space. This will allow up to 35 guests to be seated in the dining are, where they can enjoy the rustic ambience of exposed brick walls and the roaring wood oven, accompanied by outstanding pizza and drinks.
On the menu at 500 Degrees, you’ll find a selection of authentic Italian cuisine sure to satisfy you and your guests. Whether you’re visiting with a few friends, or hosting a corporate Christmas meal, there's something for everyone here. Start with nibbles like Nocellara green olives, a cheese and meat charcuterie board, or garlic bread, whilst enjoying a tipple like an Aperol Spritz.
For the main event, it's got to be pizza! Made using a signature recipe and a unique blend of flours making for a crisp and chewy crust, this is without a doubt the star attraction. Keep it classic with crowd pleasers like margherita, diavola, and buffala, or try something new like the burrata pizza, meat special, or truffle pizza with fennel salami and truffle oil. Those who don’t fancy pizza can also find plenty more options such as lasagna, rocket salad and pecorino salad.
On the drinks side of things, there is an exclusively Italian wine list featuring many reasonably priced bottles, as well as Prosecco for a Christmas toast. Alternatively, get your festive celebration started with cocktails like a Negroni, or a shot of house grappa or limoncello.
