I had looked in on Pizza Pilgrims on exiting Finsbury Park Station Wednesday of last week. I was surprised to find, as only the day before, I was reading Pizza by Pizza Pilgrims.
I had a chat about pizzas. I did not wish for pizza, as I had eaten earlier at Home Slice in Covent Garden I said I would return on Friday for lunch.
Friday, after a coffee at Salt the Radish, I returned for lunch.
Very tacky. Is this to fit in with the location? A chain, are they all like this? To replicate an Italian pizza parlour? I don't know.
From the outside, it looks like any other fast food outlet in Finsbury Park (of which there are many).
Walking in, a large clay pizza oven and an area where pizzas are prepared. Behind the pizza oven, a tacky seating area. And gaming machines to add to the overall atmosphere of tackiness.
On display, a couple of copies of Pizza.
Friday lunchtime, I was the only customer.
Staff very pleasant and helpful. Antonio, Italian pizza maker was very helpful and explained what he was doing.
It looks easy, turning the ball of dough into a pizza. As I learnt when I tried a few days later, not as easy as it looks.
I chose a simple pizza. I was disappointed. Tasty, but doughy and soggy.
On leaving, I took the No 259 bus, which went direct to King's Cross Station.
Me and my boyfriend just left Pizza Pilgrims in Finsbury and the staff was amazing. Welcoming and friendly. Daniel and the manager in charge were very caring and accomodating. The pizza was delicious! And we loved the ambience and all the artwork! We definitely recommend who's around the area and coming to London!
Excellent!
Formally “Slice”, this amazing pizza spot never disappoints with its amazing quality, service, and prices. We travel far just to come here, since it is truly a unique Pizza Pilgrims restaurant. Not only is the atmosphere incredibly entertaining, but they also offer free to play arcade games which are just as fun to play for the adults as they are for the children. They offer a variety of creative alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, making this a truly family friendly experience. The pizzas are also extremely high quality, and fill you up at a low price. We paid approximately £15+ for 1 small half and half pizzas with 2 drinks. Truly a wonderful restaurant.
