"Pizza by the slice is something that London’s food scene is seriously lacking. Enter Doctor Dough Pizza which serves excellent NYC-style slices from a pop-up stall in Hammersmith’s Lyric Square. The slices are big and the thick tomato sauce—with whole burst cherry tomatoes—is some of the best we’ve ever tasted. The margherita isn’t cheese-heavy, but the mozzarella pokes out from underneath the sauce, and with the sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top, you get the perfect ratio of everything in each bite. If you’re after 18 inches of this top-tier pizza, then you can pre-order it by DMing them on Instagram. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch video credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Margherita We’re not sure what exactly they put in the tomato sauce, but whatever it is we’d like more of it. Rich, savoury, and moreish, it’ll drip onto the plastic plate if you fold this slice in half, but you’ll be using anything you can to mop up every last drop. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Rianne Shlebak
"Outsider Tart is an American restaurant and bakery in Chiswick specialising in quintessential stateside cakes, bakes, pies and tarts owned by New York expats, David Lesniak and David Muniz. The New York crumb cake came about from missing the kind of “coffee cake” intrinsic to any American diner. The sponge is a soft yet sturdy vanilla sheet cake made with sour cream which helps achieve the textural bliss of a cake that has a tight crumb structure whilst remaining tender and moist. It is topped with a thick and crunchy layer of brown sugar cinnamon streusel, and finished with a vanilla milk glaze. Slabs of the two-toned coffee cake are a staple on the counter amongst a sea of regularly changing specials, and whole cakes can be ordered for delivery anywhere within the M25." - Emma Louise Pudge
"American restaurant and bakery Outsider Tart has relocated from its former home on Chiswick High Road to a new site at The Lyric Hammersmith. Throughout Halloween and Thanksgiving, find pumpkin-themed treats including its classic deep-dish pumpkin pie, a cloud-like baked pumpkin cheesecake with a fine graham cracker base, and a brand new pumpkin snickerdoodle slice that sees the pie baked into a snickerdoodle cookie crust and topped with cinnamon brown sugar streusel. Each year, the eccentric duo of New York expats behind Outsider Tart, David Lesniak and David Muniz, celebrate Thanksgiving at the restaurant with ticketed family-style dinners. This year’s feast features no less than 22 dishes, from meringue-baked pecans, rosemary roasted nuts, stuffed grapes, and homemade cheez its to start. They’re followed by roast turkey with sides including cranberry cornbread stuffing, pumpkin mac and cheese, American green bean casserole, corn pudding, sweet potato slaw, and just about anything else diners could wish for. For desserts, guests can enjoy unlimited quantities of apple, pumpkin and pecan Pie, all available for takeaway during the holiday period." - Emma Louise Pudge
"Based in Chiswick, the bakery produces an indulgent whoopie pie that's unapologetically generous in size and texture — so substantial and plush it’s jokingly described as cushion-like, offering a satisfyingly soft, cake-like cookie sandwich experience." - James Hansen
