I can't fault this at all.
When awarding stars I think I have this, erm..."gut feel"...there's an algorithm that gets processed, even if I'm not entirely able to articulate it. It's something about value for deliciousness, GBP per wow-bite. And here, where the pizzas are affordable and quick and delicious...well, Pizza Union you got yourself 5 stars with that formula!
I saw this concept back in the US last time I was visiting; essentially they are very quickly fired pizzas, in and out of the oven in 180 seconds. Fast turnaround, quick pizzas. What's not to love (TRICK QUESTION: NOTHING).
The basic white garlic 'bread' pizza starts at 2.50 or so. I enjoyed the fiorentina today, topped with fresh spinach leaves and a whole egg. I added some chicken for 1GBP, which was not these artificial blocks of protein but looked like pulled chicken breast (great). The pizza came quickly, and I added on a 0.50 mini tub of creamy dip.
Walk your pizza over to a table (there are high-tops and tables) and you can personalize further with hot chili flakes, oregano, chili oil, salt and pepper. The chili oil was totally unnecessary, but never one to shy away from gilding the lily: I went for it. It was nicely spicy.
There are sweet doughs and gelato as dessert options, but I have yet to try 'em. Beer and various soft drinks as hydration options.
Yelp note: no delivery (yet), but takeaway options available. Note that M-F, 12 - 2pm, the limit is 4pizzas/pp.
