London's best restaurants for pizza

Doh! Null. Stop trying too hard to be trendy. Get it right -Shoreditch is in Hackney!!!!

Null, I would would not say that "Spitalfields ('brick lane'), Wapping, Shoreditch, and Whitechapel" represents a "substantial part of the east end" at all. If you feel that it does then I suggest you take a look at a map of London. Sadly, it appears you're mistaking what people from West London (Timeout journalists) believe the East end of London is from what it actually is. Frankly, you couldn't be more wrong to suggest that that the rest of hackney has nothing to offer restaurant-wise. You only have to venture up to Stoke Newington High Street for, hands down, the best Turkish food in the country, for example. Church Street has got a huge amount of very good restaurants and, by all accounts, so does the Victoria Park area. The reason people from Hackney 'have a chip on their shoulder' about these Timeout reviews is that there is clearly no attempt to venture further in to the borough to find out if life exists elsewhere. They're engaging in what Chomsky might call the 'creation of meaning'; that is, attempting to re-create - for the benefit people like you - what East London 'is'. We don't like that. Not only because their reporting is deeply biased and, therefore, lacks credibility but because it feels like we're being taught to 'suck eggs' about our own borough! On reflection, however, if an absence of good reviews for the rest of Hackney means keeping people like you down in cliquey Shoreditch, it's probably a good thing.

The pizzas at Pizza East are incredibly overated... and no mention of the Stringray Cafe on Columbia Road?

I am Federica and I am from Naples and I really thanks to God that Donna Margherita exists because when I eat the pizza and I close my eyes I feel at home! I recommend Donna Margherita to everybody that want to try the autentic southern italian cousine!

No Rossopomodoro. An outrage. Why write an article about how average the pizzas are at the Serpentine cafe in Hyde Park when you could write one recommending the outstanding pizzas at Rossopomodoro. The best I've had in London by a country mile. It is after all supposedly a review of the best pizzas in London

I live near Milan on the road to Como to be exact and every fackin friday is Pizza night is Pizza night because my Italian wife loves the crap. Well one thing is sure, wherever you go , nearly, theres no diff between UK pizzas and Italian. Pizza dough is bread dough and if you can put together white bread dough then you can make a pizza. The only diff is if you have a wood burning oven. Don't accept six quid for what is in reality an extended roll so thin its nearly transparent,its worth a quid at most. If you want to eat really good pizza try Brandi in Naples near the Bourbon palace.Service is shit and I don't like the people but Pizza is well done.Traditionally thick but not overly. Pizza Hut is as good as any to be honest if you have their family pizza. Pizza Express is total shit if the one near the Tate is anything to go by. Am I a pizza fascist=No. Just that I live in Italy and have eaten pizzas everywhere and believe me most of them are not better in Italy.In Italy you pay on average 15 pounds for pizza and beer at a table.Rip off

Furnace in Shoreditch gets my vote, I can't believe it's not here.

I think they've ticked a substantial part of the east end, including Spitalfields ('brick lane'), Wapping, Shoreditch, and Whitechapel. People in Hackney always seem to have a chip on their shoulder about these kinds of thing. The truth is that people go to Shoreditch for good bars and restaurants. People go to Hackney because it's a cheap place to live.

pizza napoletana is not crispy but fragrant between crispness and fragrance there is a big difference a crispy base pizza in my country dawn in Naples we call it pizza focaccia but the pizza napoletana the one that the world recognized the best fore sure is not crispy and i cannot understood were you getting the idea from!! with out a doubt DONNA MARGHERITA restaurant makes the best pizza in the capital!!!!I`IM RECOMMENDER TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN LONDON AND ASK FOR THE STAFF TO EXPLAIN HOW TO EAT THE PIZZA TRY THE MARGHERITA AND THEN YOU CAN MAKE A JUDGE!

I can make you a pizza as good as any around.Pizza making in Rimini or fackin Palmers Green believe me is not rocket making. I'm of Italian descent and Italians....well they give it large about crap like makin a pizza. Michaelangelo was then Tracy emin is NOW
