Sweet Thursday (Dalston)

• One of the best Pizza's I have eaten in London
• The location is not very convenient to get to unless you live in and around Hackney
• My friends live very close by and that is how I came across this little pizza place
• Their menu is quite extensive and has a few choices for vegetarians as well
• Spinach and Rocket salad we had was amazingly fresh
• Sweet Thursday is one of my favourite local discoveries &ndash
• A colourful spot with the most delicious pizza and a chilled out atmosphere
• The charming Italian restaurant is nestled among a row of shops and restaurants on Southgate Road in leafy De Beauvoir just a short walk away from Kingsland Road
• Re not familiar with De Beauvoir
• S a pretty part of east London with large Georgian houses and plenty of inviting gastropubs
• Behind Sweet Thursday are siblings Richard Haines and Rosie Wesemann
• Who grew up in De Beauvoir with Harry Davies and opened The Scolt Head and The De Beauvoir Deli respectively
• I visited Sweet Thursday when my mum came to visit and we were looking for somewhere nearby with a tempting menu where we could chat easily
• The design is simple and bright with large wooden tables
• T resist some Prawns wrapped in pancetta with chili and garlic (£
• Succulent prawns were served in their shells
• Another tempting starter was the Buffalo Mozzarella with Caponata (£
• Drizzled with high quality olive oil and topped with fresh herbs
• Home made taste with slow roasted Mediterranean vegetables and plenty of green olives
• The enormous pizza was absolutely delicious
• Bubbly dough that you always hope for with an Italian pizza
• It was very generously topped with the most flavoursome Prosciutto
• The tomato sauce was simple and made with sweet
• Sunkissed tomatoes and there was just the right amount of silky mozzarella
• Juicy sausages were well seasoned with hint of fennel and the rich lentil stew was warming and spicy
• The folded dough was nicely charred and generously filled and she was able to substitute the nduja for tasty marinated artichokes
• Our slice of cake was a lovely end to the meal
• The smooth set cream was cool and light while the blood orange compote added an intensely zingy sweetness and pleasant bitterness
• It was served with home made Italian biscuits and was decadent yet fresh and satisfying
• The design and branding of the restaurant are cool and uplifting and the vibe is neighbourly and unpretentious
• The Italian staff are charming and service is at a relaxed but reasonable pace
• Sweet Thursday is my Friday night hangout
• Low key setting is the perfect way to unwind after a busy week
• The pizzas are always served directly from the oven
• Well seasoned and made with fresh ingredients
• Where kids are welcomed and included a plus for younger families in the area
• The location is a little tricky for non locals
• The place itself is a little quirky with all its simplicity and just seems to work
• 40 including service which is incredibly steep when you think about what you actually ordered
• The place has got great ambience with quirky decorations
• It seemed to be very popular with families on pizza outings with kids
• Coffee was not disappointing and gluten free cake was ok as well
• Apparently they do wine and beer tasting evenings along with sales of organic olive oil
