One of Europe’s best pizza chefs is opening a new London restaurant

A brand-new pizza parlour is coming to Peckham.

Connie’s Pizza will open in south London on January 26. It is the latest project from Andrea Asciuti, founder of 081 Pizzeria on nearby Peckham Rye (and in Shoreditch), and promises to offer ‘Bri-talian’ style pizzas, using seasonal local ingredients, such as leeks, mushrooms and aubergines.

Pizzas will be light and crispy, made with 36-48 hour fermented dough and American flour, and look set to pass the no-flop test. There will be eight different kinds of pizza on the menu, including tomato and aubergine, classic margherita with British mozzarella, nduja and British stracciatella, and sautéed mushrooms, truffle and basil.

Connie’s is named after Andrea Asciuti’s wife and takes over the site formerly occupied by South African restaurant Little Kudu. There will also be a number of side dishes on the menu, such as meatballs, deep-fried mac ‘n’ cheese and mozzarella sticks. There will be only one dessert; fiocco di neve mini brioche filled with ricotta and whipped cream. 

081 Pizza was ranked 43rd on the best pizzas in Europe list by 50 Top Pizza in 2024.
