Tucked away on Greenwood Road between Dalston and Hackney Central, The Spurstowe Arms has become a go-to destination for pizza lovers thanks to its collaboration with Dough Hands. This laid-back pub brings together classic East London vibes with the audacious creativity of one of London’s most talked-about pizza makers.
Picture this: perfectly crispy crusts, unique toppings and that irresistible doughy-chewy balance that only true pizza artists can pull off. My top pick is the Shroomy, a heavenly combo of soy-roasted mushrooms, taleggio cheese and garlic. Honestly, it’s dangerously good.
Beyond the pizza, the pub itself is effortlessly cool. Mismatched wooden chairs, vintage décor, candlelit tables, big mirrors and chandeliers create a cosy atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and intimate. And when the sun’s out, the leafy beer garden is where you will want to linger with a pint or cocktail in hand.
Be warned, it’s walk-ins only, and during busy times the wait can stretch a bit. But once you’ve taken that first bite, you will know exactly why The Spurstowe Arms has earned its cult-favourite status among Hackney locals and pizza pilgrims alike.
