The Concept
From August 7, Best Pizza, established by Frank Pinello in 2010, brings its celebrated Brooklyn pies to London's The Standard. Taking over the Double Standard bar, this pop-up presents an opportunity for Londoners to experience the woodfired pizzas that have gained a following stateside. Pinello, rooted in Brooklyn's Sicilian heritage, utilises a century-old oven to craft both round and square pies, continuing his global pizza influence.
What to Expect
featuring Best's signature thin-crusted 14- to 16-inch round pizzas and crisp square offerings. The Grandma, a Long Island staple with mozzarella and tomato, and the Veggie, adorned with seasonal vegetables, are highlights. Fans might hope for the white pizza, a unique mix of caramelised onions and sesame seeds. The space at The Standard's ground-floor bar offers a relaxed setting, perfect for savouring these transatlantic flavours.
The Verdict
A transitory delight for London's pizza aficionados, this pop-up is a must-visit for authentic Brooklyn flavours. Secure a table early; the buzz is justified.
