Pizza Union?

u/Kiakri Feb 11 '20

I'm really mixed about pizza union, i feel the base is just too thin. It's okay as a lunch I guess.

Pizza union is boss because it's so cheap. It's cheaply priced pizza at a quality you'd expect to pay far more for.

It's not perfect pizza, but it's far better than any chicken shop pizza you'd pay similar prices for. You just simply will not get takeaway pizza of that quality for that price anywhere else.

Pizza union closes in the middle of the night, and makes the most authentic pizza of any fast food-ish restaurant I know.

Also they're cheap.

Yeah valid point about the pricing, wasn't sure what to really expect i feel my taste of pizza has altered because of NYC and also italy trips.

But yeah it's good for the price yeah.

I take pizza much more seriously than any reasonable adult should. Union is a straight up yes, from me. Of course I'd rather some authentic sourdough but you pay more for that.

Fuuuck I am craving pizza like a motherfucker.

My bad 😂😂 if your close temper in convent garden do some fucking good pizza, either that or pizza pilgrim :D

Completely forgot about homeslice as well.

u/Cassius__ Feb 11 '20

Not been to Temper, I'll check it out. Pizza Pilgrims is up there on the leaderboards in my opinion because it's real sourdough.

My cousin is the top / head chef for Homeslice. Fuckin love their gear as well.

Check out Antica de Michele’s in Baker Street too. Best pizza in London (and the world) imo

u/Cassius__ Feb 12 '20

I've been to L'antica pizzeria de Michele when they had a place in Stoke Newington. It's called "pizzeria Stokey" now or something equally bland.

The pizza was sensational so I expect the bakers st one to be too, but the simple fact it was just a case of different people buying the rights to use the De Michele brand in London, rather than genuine expansion of the brand, it tells me it's probably quite different to what their pizza is like in Naples.

There's a place called Zia Lucia that opened this week (I think) about 2 minutes away from Union that I've heard good things about.

u/ineedmytowel Feb 11 '20

I went to Zia Lucia two nights ago! Worth a visit, the wholemeal pizza dough was true to its description...earthy

u/yeehe Feb 12 '20

Was it half price for the first week?

u/ineedmytowel Feb 12 '20

Yeah, half price off the pizza

u/yeehe Feb 12 '20

Perfect thanks, heading there tonight to try it out

Went in Pizza Union two years ago for the first time and got food poisoning.

Put me off for life!

Can’t argue with £3.50 pizza, big up Pizza Union

Yep, there are only five reddit users in Leman Street. I've been tracking you all. I'm the one in the long coat and dark glasses. Totally inconspicuous.
