New vegan pizza and beer hot spot for London

by

The team that founded Young Vegans Pie Shop – London’s only vegan pie and mash outlet – have opened a new pizza restaurant in Bethnal Green, East London.

Young Vegans Pizza Shop opened its doors to the public for its launch on Wednesday the 13th of November, 2019. The restaurant contains 30 seats, a licensed bar, and a dedicated takeaway/delivery counter.

The Pizza Shop began life as ​Death By Pizza​, a small pop up based out of a ramshackle hut with clay pizza oven in Hackney serving up highly rated wood fired vegan pizzas. One year later and the company has rebranded it to Pizza Shop, aligning itself with the Pie Shop, and relocating to a much bigger space in Bethnal Green.

Young Vegans has always proudly produced all ingredients at their prep kitchen in Camden. These include mock meats and vegan cheeses, and the vegan mozzarella used at the Pizza Shop.

The revamped menu retains previously popular pizzas such as the Devil’s Coglioni (seitan pepperoni, mozzarella and marinara sauce) and the Holy Ghost (ricotta, mozzarella, marinara, red onions and spinach) as well as new favourite Horror Show (butternut squash, caramelised onions, mozzarella, marinara, walnuts and rocket). What’s new is the full set of starters and desserts, from mac ’n’ cheeze and mozzarella fingers to cheesecake and a cookie dough pie.

Alongside the much expanded food menu, Young Vegans Pizza Shop serves a range of cocktails, wines, and local craft beers from Hackney Brewery.

The restaurant’s weekly opening hours are Wednesday to Friday from 5pm-10pm, and Saturday and Sunday from midday-10pm.

New vegan pizza place in London

Get ready, London.

You are about the experience the power and deliciousness of brick fired vegan pizza thanks to the same team that brought you vegan pie and mash.

Carla and Marco of Young Vegans have stepped away from the Camden pie shop just long enough to start Death by Pizza, a gourmet pizza outlet located in Netil Market, East London.

Yes, they still have their pie and mash shop in Camden but they are also launching this gourmet pizza joint over a special grand opening weekend this Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 October, 2018. They will be serving between midday and 6:00pm, continuing every weekend going forward.

Look out for extended hours in the future!

Every scrap of food is made fresh by Death by Pizza and that includes dough, vegan meats, and their very own vegan mozzarella. This is artisan stuff!

You should follow Death by Pizza on Instagram. I am helping them celebrate their official opening by running an FGV Follower Drive. We want to get them to 2,000 followers for the grand opening!

Thank you, tibits

Do you all remember when we helped a young person named Alex with a school marketing project involving a collection of his vegan recipes? Sure you do!

Alex went on to have the most successful project in his school and was shortlisted as a finalist in a business competition run in Sheffield.

Flash forward to last night and I met up with Alex and his mum for dinner in London!
