Yard Sale is opening a new pizzeria in north London

Yard Sale, one of Time Out’s best pizza places in London, is opening its 16th pizza spot in the capital. And it’s joyous news for residents of East Finchley, who’ll be able to indulge in a brand-new outpost from the hyped pizza place from next month.

Northwest Londoners will no longer have to travel all the way to Dartmouth Park to grab a slice of their favourite pie, as Yard Sale’s latest branch will serve all of East Finchley, Muswell Hill and Hampstead Garden Suburb as well as parts of Highgate, Finchley Central and North Finchley.

After opening in Clapton in 2014, Yard Sale quickly became one of the city’s best-loved for a Neapolitan-style pie. The chain is known for its quirky collabs, which have seen pizzas made with everyone from Ottolenghi Test Kitchen and Loyle Carner to Tabasco.

East Finchley’s Yard Sale will offer both delivery and collection, but won’t provide tables for eating in like some of the pizza chain’s other shops. It will, however, have plenty of pub partners so hungry residents can grab a slice from the comfort of their local. Exactly which local boozers will partner with the pizzeria is yet to be confirmed.

As part of its opening celebrations, Yard Sale is running a competition through its mailing list to win free pizza for your entire street and discounts will be on offer through its opening two weeks.

The new Yard Sale will join existing venues in Clapton, Finsbury Park, Walthamstow, Leytonstone, Hackney Road, East Dulwich, Balham, Crystal Palace, Crofton Park, Tottenham, Hither Green, Earlsfield, Tufnell Park, Bermondsey and Battersea – bringing them one step closer to London pizza domination.

But for those who live outside of Yard Sale’s current catchment areas, have no fear – the pizza chain aims to continue spreading the cheesy love. It has plans to grow its footprint to 40 sites over the next five years.

Yard Sale Pizza East Finchley will be at 70 High Road, N2 9PN from February 9.
