The Concept
Max Lewis returns with Lenny's, now a permanent fixture in Covent Garden, after the success of his Finsbury Park residency. Collaborating with MJMK, known for Casa do Frango and AngloThai, he revives the New Haven-style pizzas that gained a loyal following. Originating from Connecticut's Frank Pepe Pizzeria, these 'apizza' creations feature a charred, chewy crust and a bold tomato presence, offering a distinct departure from typical London pies.
What to Expect
The Covent Garden space at 24 Henrietta Street sees a menu that pays homage to New Haven's pizza mastery. Expect Lewis’s signature tomato pie and The Lenny, with its innovative half-and-half topping approach: one side with tomato, garlic, and pecorino, the other a classic mozzarella. While the full menu remains under wraps until the launch, the focus is clear—authenticity and tradition delivered with precision. The room promises a casual yet focused dining experience, perfect for those who appreciate the nuanced art of pizza-making.
The Verdict
Lenny's permanent opening is a welcome return for aficionados of genuine New Haven-style pizza. Prioritise the signature tomato pie for a true taste of Connecticut.
