Grab a slice and end the year on a full stomach.
Picture the scene. It’s early 2021 and we’re just about to reopen hospitality for the first time this year.
At that point, we never imagined so many wonderful foodie cafes, bars and restaurants would emerge from a world gone quiet- but to our pleasant surprise, 2021 has been a year of opening after opening.
This is especially true for pizza places: here are our top picks of new places to grab a slice this year.
Pizza Punks, Bond Street
Known for its 48-hour double-fermented sourdough pizzas, with toppings that include the likes of full English breakfast and cheeseburgers. They also offer some solid veggie and vegan options, for those who don’t eat meat at the new pizza place on Bond Street.
