"We’ve said before that the sourdough pizza from Sodo is consistently up there with the best in London. And now that we’ve made our own “pizza” at home. We mean it more than ever. Thankfully they’re alternating open days between their Walthamstow and Clapton branches. Order here or check their Instagram for opening and collection details." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Every day we thank the dough gods. Not just for the invention of pizza, but for making sure that Sodo in Clapton is just far enough away from the mix not to be mobbed every single night. Because if you live near the Upper Clapton Road, this is the easiest last minute date spot in the area. The sourdough pizzas are crispy and delicious, the salads well dressed, and the candlelit atmosphere exactly what you want." - jake missing
"Pizza has the ability to be perfect in so many situations. Sodo Pizza in Clapton is an extremely cute (and candlelit) sourdough pizza restaurant that’s as tasty as it is useful. We’ve come here on our own, with parents, and with dates, because it’s so reliably pleasing with its crispy pies and relaxed atmosphere. It’s virtually impossible to leave here without saying - ‘yeah that was really nice, that’." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"There’s a shop in Clapton that bears an uncanny resemblance to a high street supermarket. Locals fondly refer to it as ‘Fake Sainsbury’s’. It’s a pillar of the Upper Clapton Road, and so is the pizza restaurant bang opposite it. The sourdough pies at Sodo Pizza are consistently up there with the best pizzas in London. They’re the kind with a crisp base and crusts that taste of a lot more than dough. Plus the candlelit space is an extremely reliable (and cost-efficient) casual date or dinner location." - jake missing
"Sodo Pizza Cafe is back up and running on a pop-up basis. Keep an eye on their Instagram to find out when and in which of their branches they’re going to be opening for collection, and then get ready to call from 3/3.30pm if their plans fit in with your plans." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
