Pizza East is a small chain of three restaurants located in Portobello, Kentish Town and Shoreditch. It describes itself as a place where you can get "honest food with rustic simplicity" but how does it really fare?
Walking into the Shoreditch branch, I found a relatively large and bustling restaurant - so clearly a popular place.

Naturally I ordered a pizza and found it had a good crispy base and crust - just how I like it. The toppings were a bit sparse though - see below. Nonetheless overall it was a good decent-sized pizza that filled me up.

As a restaurant with the word 'pizza' in its title, you'd expect there to be a good choice of different pizzas and you're not wrong; there are 11 different pizzas overall ranging from £8 to £14:

But despite the name, there are also non-pizza dishes on the
menu. My colleague ordered the mac 'n' cheese. I can't say I tasted any of it, so I'll have to reserve judgement on its taste, but it certainly looked tasty.

Overall I had a good time at Pizza East and I wouldn't mind giving a few of the other dishes a go. Maybe that man 'n' cheese...
