• To eat the best pizza in the world
• Story Deli is an organic pizzeria
• Where the pizza dough very thin are served on wooden plates (a bit like flammkueches ^ ^)
• Story Deli is a 5 min walk to Old Spitalfields Market
• Where you can find the best banana cake in the area
• Story Deli is a hidden gem in East London&hellip
• The atmosphere is cosy and the interior is very white
• The gimic of having the pizza slicer on the table for you is a fun experience
• We ordered chorizo with garlic mushrooms and mascarpone
• The chorizo was spicy and savoury
• Perfect marriage with the goats cheese and the sweet onion chutney just add the savoury sweetness plus the rocket adds that bite and sharpness thats just go well all together&hellip
• The cheesecake however was too dense and the flavour just wasn&rsquo
• The most remarkable thing however is their ability to monetise rocket leaves looking round at those who ordered pizza with rocket as an ingredient
• What you essentially get is a salad on a wafer thin base
• You're left with something more like an airy crispbread
• I was expecting somethign spicier especially as I thought there were some bird's eye chillies on it
• Looking back at the menu uploaded on Zomato maybe I made that up as it is actually a sweet chilli sauce not actual chillies
• What constitutes whether or not something is actually a "
• What exactly are the factors that make a pizza a "
• Whether or not something is actually a pizza
• I merely wanted to pick your brain since those were some of the questions I had after my visit to Story Deli (Facebook
• When I was in London last month for Chowzter's 2014 Fast Feast Awards I was told that I must visit Story Deli in Bethnal Green
• Will argue that Story Deli's pizzas are not actually pizzas
• Since organic certified yeast is not available
• Hollingworth first flattens this no yeast dough with a rolling pin then piles on a generous amount of organic toppings

• Wafer thin blistered crust with heaps of super fresh
• What also distinguishes Story Deli from other pizzerias is that Hollingworth only uses 100% certified organic ingredients (he won&rsquo
• No siree there is no doubt that this modest hidden gem doesn't serve traditional pizza
• There are four long communal tables with pretty uncomfortable stools
• Story Deli has 11 pizzas with limited wine options (one red
• Parma ham served with a big heap of rocket
• A little crushed birds eye chili served with freshly grated parmesan
• All finished with cheese shavings with heaps of arugula and strands of roasted red pepper
• The meats are perfectly savoury with its flavour enriched by sweet chili sauce one one and balsamic cream on another
• Every pizza I had that day was earthy and flavourful
• Take a closer look at the base with beautifully puffed up crust blisters
• To my surprise I was still able to bend the cracker thin crust without it breaking
• From looking at the pizza I thought there would be zero give or bend to the wafer thin crust but I was proven wrong
• It seemed to me that if the crust was any thinner or crispier it would break
• Personally I think the pizzas at Story Deli are more like flatbreads
• Whatever Hollingworth's creation is I loved it and that's the only thing that matters to me
• 17 a pizza is really steep but I'm telling you now that I'll go back to Story Deli in a heart beat
• A move like this is a sign that a restaurant is focused on the experience of the customer over cover turnover
• These guys are in the pleasure giving business thats for sure
• Our sense of the price of pizza is warped by Pizza Express
• If you want fresh sadly these things are slightly more expensive and this is fricking worth it
• The pizzas have the thinnest of bases exactly what I was hoping for the ingredients are nose tingling fresh
• The service is wonderfully warm
• I shared a chorizo and mushroom pizza with my friend and I have to say that you'll need a full pizza on your own as it has a very thin crust (almost like a flatbread)
• The pizza cost 17 quid with salad and bit of roasted red pepper
• The place is cozy but the room could've been bit warmer as I was freezing after half an hour sitting there
• The pizza I ordered was sold as an authentic Italian style pizza and came out more like a huge leaf salad with a tiny bit of pizza underneath it all
• The pizza was not to my taste but might be for some other people and it is a very nice place with a nice atmosphere
• Easily the best pizza I had so far
