Bad Boy Pizza Society (BBPS) stemmed from silly beginnings. It began life as a parody university society in Southampton in 2018, set up by four friends who wanted to help students get discounted pizza out. Since then, it’s made serious leaps to become one of the best pizzamakers in the capital. Its ‘Sausage Party’ pizza was even named the best pizza in the entire country.
BBPS has dished out its award-winning pizza at residencies across London, from Belleville Brewery and Next Door Records to Seven Dials Market and Vinegar Yard. Now, BBPS has finally got the keys to its very first permanent bricks and mortar pizzeria.

Bad Boy Pizzeria will land in Bethnal Green this summer. It’ll be a slice shop by day and a casual sit-down pizzeria by night, serving up its beloved New York style pizza alongside small plates and sides like ‘chicken vodka parms’, ‘giant caesar sharers’ and ‘fluffy Sicilian squares’. The drinks menu will feature BBPS’s brand new house lager as well as wines, local beers and shots.
Sam Clowes, BBPS co-founder, said: ‘Having our own space means full creative control and the ability to build a place that feels like home for us and our customers. We’ve spent a lot of time getting everything right - from the pizza dough to the design of the space - and we can’t wait for people to walk in and feel like they’re part of the society.’
To secure the funds to make the pizzeria a reality, BBPS has launched a Kickstarter, which will remain open until June 10. The donations will help pay for seating upholstery, a tile counter, extraction and stud walls. If you pledge support, you could be rewarded with stuff like free pizza, exclusive BBPS merch or a photo on the pizzeria’s wall of fame.
