Pizza. Pizza. Pizza pizza pizzzzzzza.
Finally a proper pizza place in this part of North London that doesn't mean I have to venture into a kebab place. Finsbury Park and this area of North London is rapidly being gentrified. Rightly or wrongly I hope they get the balance right but it's fine when you get independent eateries coming into the area. And this is another well worth the trek one.
Started off in Clapton Yard Sale Pizza is a no frills pizza joint. Exactly what I like and think pizza should be. It's bigger than the Clapton branch and has some great pizzas. Four were on the menu plus a special.
The pepperoni with Nduju is always a winner with me. One of my failsafe combos. The TSB (tender stem broccoli) is deemed one of their favourites by popular demand and though it's good I think the cheese makes it great, so maybe I don't taste as much of the broccoli as I would like? Either way the cheese sings gloriously. And I actually think here they nailed the cook time and it was made so I could fold it perfectly with that essential sloppiness needed to.
Round 2 consisted of with one of their specials. The mullered mushroom with Five points brew smoked shrooms & caramelised onions.
Bitter, sweet, damn right hitting the spot I liked it. Nice to see some inventiveness not just with food ingredients but with the very beer brewery they serve with. Great thinking whatever you think.
Also a salted garlic bread was light, crispy and not overly garlicky which is what people often overdo. All served with Brooklyn or five points beer that's a good selection to start with.
Lovely friendly staff so not much more to ask for. 12 and 20 inch pizza mean il be coming back for more no doubt. Especially since I go to The Arsenal most weekends so will probably drown my sorrows in beer and pizza. Keep the good vibes going in this part of North London! read more
