London Pizza Festival

London’s great celebration of pizza passion returns Sunday June 11th at Studio 9294, Hackney Wick, East London.

Come get your fill of truly exceptional pizza and help judge the 6th edition of the London Pizza Festival. 5 pizza greats will try to win you over with a slice of the signature pie they’ve chosen to bring to the party.

The ticket price includes admission to the Festival and 5 pizza slices – 3 triangular quarters cut from round pizzas and 2 squares cut from rectangular ones. If any of those pizzas have a meat topping, the pizzeria(s) in question will offer a vegetarian alternative.

The dominance of Neapolitan-style pizza at the prior editions of the London Pizza Festival (see video highlights) will be challenged by two rectangular regional classics: Quadrata elevates the four-cornered base of pizza al taglio, the cherished slice of Rome. Detroit Pizza London delights homesick Americans and British alike with squares encrusted with the caramelised cheese that melts down its high walls.

Defending the pride of Naples will be three pizzerias whose bakers have raised the standard of the pizza craft in the UK: 081 Pizzeria in Peckham and Fitzrovia (in residence at The Smugglers Tavern); Fatto a Mano, with one location in Kings Cross, London and three in Brighton and Hove; and Oi Vita in Islington.
