Amazing food being served by Geanina
Unique pizzas in a funky warehouse style room. The non pizza dishes are even better.

Pizza is great, service is average
I love Pizza East, I probably go here at least twice a month. As long as you are not expecting exceptional service it is lovely. Food is always great and on a Monday it's a bargain!
Pizza is great. Staff is Italian. No faults found.

This place is the PE
I have missed going to PE and boy did it not let me down. It was my husband's bday and this is his favourite place. Nickname PE (as I am from a town called Port Elizabeth - PE). For a Monday night this place was packed. Recommend booking at all times. The food - is amazing, with a small menu which is great but the choice is OMG. Starters choose the cheese/ham board the burrata cheese was out of this world, we ordered the famous meatballs, still as good as the first time we had them. Mains you can definitely share these, we had the butternut pizza with Mac & Cheese. Service was very good as always, with it being as busy as it is, they ensure they don't forget you. Due to it being busy we decided to have our coffees at home and birthday cake. Highly recommend, it's no pricier than most places these days. Group of friends, perfect, order various items of the menu and just share them, unless you don't like sharing. If not been before go. PE is my fav restaurant.

Amazing pizza
We had our Christmas lunch at Pizza East in December and was so good I decided to return in January. The food is amazing and the staff are very attentive. Will definitely return and would recommend.

The first time I went to Pizza East I hated it. Only a revoltingly hip Shoreditch restaurant would describe itself as having “a progressive approach to pizza” and only the most nauseating of beatniks would swallow it, metaphorically and literally. After a distinctly forgettable non-pizza based main instead, I had avoided this place, and indeed all of East London, pretty much since that visit. Then I was drawn back a few weeks ago to meet a small group of ex-colleagues and I couldn't say No to the suggested venue as no doubt they were desperate to escape the City and Pizza East is within reach, pocket friendly, a known quantity and had a menu unlikely to cause offence (to most, myself excepted it seemed). I now have to eat my previous words (although for sense I will obviously leave them typed out). I threw caution to the wind and had a pizza because I was tempted by the San Daniele which has my all time favourite pizza topping, ricotta, and pesto. And it was yum. I am not sure what was “progressive” about the pizza as it seemed to follow the traditional formula to me: crispy thin base with slightly puffed edge, and lightly but fairly sprinkled toppings with top marks for the creamy cheese. The other pizza options might have been progressive with a few quirky ingredients like veal meatballs and, most unusual of all, a total absence of names like Diavolo and Quattro Qumquats. Service was friendly, if somewhat ubiquitously and overtly moustachioed. And apart from the fact that it was a hot sunny day and I was slowly roasting by the window (a silk dress is not a good option in this situation), the atmosphere was surprisingly laid back pleasant and not studied laid back modish. I am lifting my embargo on the area.

Lets just get this straight- if you want fine dining, white table cloths and wine refilled after every sip, then Pizza East would not be your first port of call. If however you want laid back, buzzy atmosphere with good pizza and wine (out of tumblers- when did this start happening? What's wrong with a good old wine glass I ask!) and somewhere you can chat to your friends without the nosy neighbor listening in on this weeks juicy gossip, then Pizza East should be.
No frills, good pizza- Go oooooon, try it!

Most unpleasant and stressful birthday experience
Most horrific restaurant experience I have ever had!! I booked a table for my friend’s birthday and initially I only booked for 8 people. 3 extra people came and 2 of them left as management said they were not allowed to be seated at our table as I only booked for 8! The other extra person was only staying for a drink and had spent £40 on a bottle of Champagne and wine when management said we were NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE ANY FOOD ORDERS AS THE BOOKING WAS FOR 8 PEOPLE!! I have never heard of anything more outrageous! I have never been to a place where they are unwilling to accommodate for 1 extra person. Where has customer service gone! To top everything off we wanted to order more food as we were still hungry and waiter said yes, then 10 minutes later came over and told us we had to leave the table at 9pm with it was 8:57pm. We hadn't even cut the cake!!I will never return to such a place!
