🍕 The Number 1 Detroit Pizza place in London - 🧀 Aged Parmesan for days — ultra-crispy, lacy cheese crown + cloud-soft crumb you can squish and it springs back. 💷 Great value — generous, filling slabs, no service charge, no attitude, just gratitude. ✅ Must-orders — Butter Chicken (Diwali special) + Burrata/Stracciatella Pepperoni. 🕌 Halal options — Yes, you can ask per slice. 👨🍳 Who is Sarv? Ex-Michelin chef bringing chef-level technique to Detroit pies (72-hour dough, 5-hour red sauce). 👩🦳 Front-of-house hero: Sarv’s mum runs the room like a 5-star GM — water offered unprompted, friendly check-backs, real conversation. I literally saw her dash to pick up a guest’s fallen jacket 🧥💨. 🌿Level of Detail: “How many people do you know herbing their pepperoni?” — that’s the level of finishing here (basil/chives, herb oil, parmesan “snow”). 🍗 Butter Chicken slice: The makhani on pizza is better than the butter chicken I’ve had at many Indian restaurants — silky, balanced, unforgettable. 💷 Value: Each slice is fresh, hot, generously topped, and affordable; no forced service charge — you want to tip because they earn it. 🏆 Best pizza place in London Every slice tastes as good as it looks in the photos — fresh, tasty, repeatable. 📣 Recommendation: I’m shouting about this spot to friends — highly, highly recommended.
The Deep-Dish Pizza (why the slices eat so well) 🕒 72-hour cold ferment: the crumb is airy and custardy inside with a gentle chew; compress it and it springs back. 🧀 Aged Parmesan and other cheeses: those bronzed, lacy edges in the pics are intentional—nutty, crackly, addictive. 🍅 Red sauce (5 hours): bright tomato, light sweetness, rounded acidity; spreads to the rim so every bite has sauce. 🔥 Pan discipline: bottoms are deep gold, never oily, strong enough to carry heavy toppings without drooping. 🌿 Finishing touches: herbed pepperoni, basil leaves glossed with oil, parmesan “snow,” chives, and chilli-honey coils—each finish serves a purpose (salt, aroma, heat, freshness).
I Ordered 4 Slices: Butter Chicken – Diwali Special (£7.75) 🧡 Look: That vivid orange pool with a cool white swirl and ribbons of pickled red onion. - Keep in Mind each red onion slice has been pickled individually. Eat: Buttery, tomato-forward makhani with gentle spice; soft chicken cubes; acidity from the pickle that lifts the richness. The frico edge soaks up sauce like a crunchy sponge—wildly satisfying. Why order it: It’s Detroit meets Delhi, and it works because the dough is strong and the sauce is silky not heavy. My #1.
Burrata / Stracciatella, Calabrese & Chilli Honey (£7.75) 🧀🍯 Look: Pepperoni cups, green herb oil, and a glowing pillow of stracciatella/burrata. Eat: Salty roni, cool creamy centre, a bright green herb note, then a warm kiss of chilli-honey. Sweet-salty-creamy in perfect thirds.
Salami Calabrese, Mozzarella & Vintage Cheddar (£6.75) 🍕 Look: Classic red and white with basil and parmesan snow. Eat: Cheddar adds nuttiness under the mozzarella; basil brings perfume; pepperoni cups have a juicy centre, crisp rim. Why order it: It’s the benchmark slice—but dialled up with better cheese work. ’Nduja, Biquinho Peppers & Calabrian Chili Ranch (£7.25) 🌶️ Look: Orange ranch spiral with ruby biquinho jewels. Eat: Warm, spreadable ’nduja heat balanced by creamy ranch and sweet-tart peppers. Vibe: Big flavour without blowtorch spice; you keep reaching back.
Why Sarv’s Works (chef brain+family heart) 👨🍳 Technique first: The fermentation, the pan control, the sauce reduction. *👩🦳 Hospitality:Sarv’s mum delivers 5-star Hospitality, Customer Service and a warmth that turns the fast food into care. People aren’t transactions here, and it shows. People genuinely love coming back. 🌶️ Flavour POV: Italian backbone with playful Indian and Calabrian nudges that make sense. 💷 Fair pricing: Big slabs, premium ingredients, no service charge—London unicorn. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Should...
Read moreDefinition of an hype job, based on my experience I have 0 trust in the 5 stars reviews here.
We went as a party of 2 on a quite Saturday night.
First of all the service was bad, they forgot my friend's food which made the dining experience awkward.
The main thing though was that the pizza was really heavy, but absolutely tasteless. We both were stunned by the lack of flavour.
Not only it had 0 flavour, but If anything mine was way too sweet and that was about it.
Pathetic effort for someone that likes to boast about their apparent Michelin starred training with boards outside their pizzeria.
They also like to boast about the quality of their ingredients and as an Italian I can tell you that both stracciatella, salame and all the rest of the ingredients on my pizza were low supermarket level. You ain't fooling no one.
The dip I received with my pizza was the smallest dip I received with a pie.
To make everything worse the pizza was very heavy to digest, felt sick after eating it.
Out of all Detroit-style pizza places in London, this is the most expensive one and the worse one by a mile.
Asking £26 for a 4 slice pie is just a scam, they can say whatever they want but it's impossible to justify. Not even in this economy.
You're not even eating at a real restaurant.
For example you have Santa Maria a stone throw away where you can get way better quality/taste for like a half the price.
Your hard earned money deserves more respect, don't go throw it away here.
EDIT:
hehe someone's got butt-hurt.
It's laughable that they went and stalked my profile to accuse me of never be satisfied with food when I literally point out in my review that there's way better pizzerias just a few steps away.
Hell even Dominos is way better and they don't rip people off unlike this "pizzeria"
They couldn't address any of the points I've raised and decided to be rude instead. But I get it, reality hurts.
Given their rude and unprofessional reply, I've changed my review to 1 star.
Low level pizza made by low...
Read moreSo I tried the pizza from this place and it was gimmicky and unjustifiably expensive for what you get, but wasn't passionate enough to leave a negative review.
I do however occasionally stop at Ealing Project for a quiet drink and snacks to relax with a book or catch up on emails.
Apparently though, Ealing Project customers are not allowed to use the tables and some of the sofas in Ealing Project and are being actively asked to move to other seats at the back end corner of the seating area. I was also advised that I can't take my time with my drink in case other customers want to use the table, at a time where their business is quiet obviously dead.
I'm all for it if you're moving on people sitting there with no food or drinks from the premises, but if you can clearly see a customer with a drink bought on premises, sitting quietly where there are all other tables free, then it shows lack of common sense.
She even brought the manger over to move me, who was as equally confused, and so were two other customers who approached me after she left.
In summary, food here is unreasonably way too expensive for what you get, staff are confrontational with regular Ealing Project customers, and lack any common sense in dealing with Ealing Project customers.
Good luck with...
