It’s time to bid farewell to the super unique Flat Earth Pizza.
The Bethnal Green pizza parlour opened on Cambridge Heath Road in 2022 after trialing their sustainable, plant-based concept at a series of pop-ups, including at the Railway Tavern in Dalston (which is now home to Little Earthquakes’ excellent pizza residency).
Flat Earth’s owners announced the news on Instagram, saying they will be serving their last pizza in mid-April. ‘For some, [Flat Earth] will be another statistic in hospitality’s ongoing bloodbath. For many, we hope we’ve been a little bit of magic on the corner of Vyner Street. Being busy these days is just not enough! With over 30 per cent of our turnover being taken away through central and local government taxing and ever spiralling operating costs yet another goose dies having laid its last golden egg,’ they wrote.
The restaurant was meat-free, offering vegetarian and vegan toppings such as kimchi fiorentina, creamy garlic mushrooms, and a ‘Hackney Hot’ with sweet pickled beetroot, chilli and hot salsa.
Their sustainable approach meant that nothing went to landfill, with their food waste 30 percent lower than the industry average, with scraps turned into renewable energy and fertiliser. They made Time Out’s list of the best sustainable restaurants in London, alongside the likes of Silo in nearby Hackney Wick, which also closed recently.
These are the best vegetarian restaurants in London.
