London’s love affair with pizza shows no signs of slowing down, and Connie’s Pizza is another addition to the capital’s thriving pizza scene. The brainchild of Andrea Asciuti - the man behind Peckham and Shoreditch’s acclaimed 081 Pizza, which earned a spot on Europe’s Top 50 Pizzas list - Connie’s promises something refreshingly different - 'Bri-talian' pizza.
Named after Andrea’s wife, Connie’s introduces the concept of Bri-talian pizza: a playful fusion of Italian craftsmanship and British character. Expect a London-style crispy base rather than the traditional chewy Napolitan pizza, all prepared by seasoned Italian pizzaiolos, topped with locally sourced, seasonal British ingredients like leeks, aubergines, and mushrooms. Classics get a clever twist here - the margherita swaps traditional mozzarella for a British variety, while the fiery nduja pizza is paired with creamy local stracciatella. Vegetarians will love the tomato and aubergine pie, showcasing the kitchen’s commitment to bold, homegrown flavours. There are eight different pizzas on the menu, all proudly passing the no-flop test.
The menu doesn’t stop at pizza. Small plates include indulgent meatballs, golden mozzarella sticks, and deep-fried mac ‘n’ cheese – comfort food with a gourmet edge. For dessert, there’s just one option, but it’s a showstopper: Fiocco di Neve, a delicate brioche filled with ricotta and whipped cream, offering a sweet nod to Naples.
Connie’s is more than a pizzeria; it’s a celebration of culinary creativity, blending the best of British produce with Italian tradition. Whether you’re a pizza purist or a curious foodie, this is a destination worth seeking out – proof that London’s pizza revolution is far from over.
