Dough Hands at The Spurstowe Arms - Review - Hackney - London - The Infatuation

"On any given weekend The Spurstowe Arms is filled with more cowboy boots and mullets than the Texas State Fair. And from Tuesdays to Sundays the unofficially Ganni-sponsored, Hackney pub serves excellent pizza courtesy of Dough Hands. They're self-proclaimed ‘London-style’ pizzas that fall somewhere between classic New York-style and Neapolitan. The toppings—tomato pie with stracciatella, or ‘nduja and hot honey—lean NYC, while the charred pillowy crusts and flop factor can lean slightly Neapolitan. Either way the thin pies are excellent. Our favourite is the aforementioned tomato pie, followed closely by the citrussy, spicy tuna. photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat Pause Unmute Food Rundown Tomato Pie This is our favourite thing to order here. The bright red marinara is spread evenly across the crisp base, and if you add the stracciatella as an extra (which you should), you’ll get bites of creamy, light cheese and rich tomato sauce that balance out perfectly. photo credit: Koray Firat Spicy Tuna A fiery, zesty number. This Calabrian chilli tuna, lemon, and red onion-topped pizza is a fun mix of flavours. photo credit: Koray Firat Grandma Pie We had high hopes for this wedge of square pizza. But it lacked tomato sauce and we found it a little dry. Stick with the excellent thin-base pizzas." - Rianne Shlebak
