Kemey and I dropped by for a midweek early evening dinner at new(ish)ly opened Pizza Union near Liverpool Street for a taste of its “fire-baked” and “super fast” stone oven pizzas. And? We were pleased with this all day pizza bar’s no nonsense approach to offering customers something tasty and quick at a great price.
I got a 12” Margherita with half of it covered with especially spicy nduja. On its own the Margherita runs an extremely affordable £3.95. Extra toppings are £1 each – and there’s a large variety of them. There’s a range of other pizzas too though, all of which are made using fior di late mozzarella and San Marzano tomato sauce and freshly-made, hand-stretched dough.Kemey went with the Fiorentina (tomato sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, black olives, and fresh spinach, £5.50) and enjoyed it. We had some Merlot (around 11 quid for the bottle) as well as a freshly baked and rather gratuitous (but nonetheless wolfed down) dough ring filled with Nutella and mascarpone (£2.95).
Service was speedy (and friendly). Indeed, the pizzeria prides itself on being able to get orders filled within three minutes. I found pared down dining area to be a pleasant enough place to hang out, and somehow even cosy despite being almost cavernous is size.
If I lived or worked a little closer, I’d be at Pizza Union all the time. As it stands, I’m bouncing in and out of the area on a fairly regular basis – and will definitely keep it in mind. By the way, I think they just started delivering locally.
An extremely easy eatery to recommend, Pizza Union is located at 25 Sandy’s Row, E1 7EZ. Find out more at pizzaunion.com.
