Since my October review, Flour to the People has risen to the occasion.
Coffee is still solid. Queues for tables can often crowd the snug place on a weekend. Since I last reviewed, Flour to the People has added offerings and improved their already impressive array.
The toaster on the table with fresh sourdough bread on weekends is absolutely glorious, in every which way. Having had the pleasure of purchasing a fresh loaf of sourdough hot from the oven, there is nothing more delightful than having the warmness of the bread emanating through the bread bag as you walk in the often dreary, cold London weather. Ripping off a piece of warm bread with just a hint of sourness just pops deliciousness in your mouth. The sourdough is even better than many of the famous places in San Francisco that specialise in the same.
Flour to the People has added pizza offerings to a dinner menu. Still in its infancy, it is a well-kept secret that we thoroughly enjoy. The only place in London we've eaten dinner from two nights in a row. It is just that good. The dough is freshly made (a variant of their bread dough), and is delicious. The single size portions simply work. Slightly more than you need to fill up, but leaving the little devil on your shoulder craving just one more slice.
The pizza toppings are great. The basic tomato sauce they use is replete with herbs, and a fresh tomato taste. Definitely not the canned drivel so often used at pizza joints. They have a number of white pizzas, too. The wild mushroom sauceless pizza has a great fragrance to it and tastes great. The only thing missing is actual chunks of wild mushrooms :/ But Pizza Diavolo is an explosion of spice atop a great pizza. And, in the true spirit of great pizzas, they offer a varied selection of a little less than a dozen choices, but only one main ingredient each. You'll find no "Meat Lover's Supreme" option here. Thankfully!
