After 5 + City Pig’s analysis

Pizza East sets itself to be different from other pizza chains as it focuses on making rustic style pizzas. The ingredients are very Italian focused and therefore, you may need the help of the waiter to understand the toppings.

Pizza East, has an edge of coolness as you walk in, you are greeted by the receptionists with their iMacs. It gets very busy here and so I would recommend booking a table.

I tried two pizzas, the spicy sausage and the pancetta pizza. Both were crispy and the dough light in perfection. The flavours were impressive and tasted very fresh.

The drinks menu is interesting in that it has a wide selection of cocktails. I opted for the Elderflower, cucumber soda which was very refreshing in taste.

The salted chocolate caramel tart was the most heavenly dessert I tasted. It really tastes amazing and is not too sweet or too salty. The combination is perfect and is clearly very memorable in my mind.

It is a place to go if you want a casual dinner and a few drinks. It has a great lively buzzing atmosphere and it is one of the cool kids from the East.
