Our Aldgate Pizza Bar is at 29 Leman Street in Goodman’s Fields, off Whitechapel High Street, a short walk from Aldgate East station. We feed the office lunch crowd, fill back up after work, and set students and tourists up before a night out in east London.
Fire-baked, Roman style, thin & crispy, made to order, served superfast, all day. Marinara £3.95, Margherita £5.95, frozen cocktails £4.95. Open 11am to 11pm, seven days a week. Order at the till, or book one of our big tables for a birthday or team night through the Group Booking page.
Aldgate, London does not need another average pizza place, and we have no interest in being one. We set out to be the much-loved neighbourhood pizzeria this corner of the City deserves: an Italian Pizza Bar where the food comes out fast, the prices make sense and the queue never stops moving.
Roman pizza is our whole thing. The dough is rolled thin, fired hard and served blistered and crisp, the way they do it in Rome and the way east London has taken to it. While plenty of restaurants around Aldgate will happily take an hour of your lunch break, we will not. This is a great location for a quick, excellent pizza lunch or dinner: two minutes from Aldgate East station, close to the Tower of London tourist trail and surrounded by offices full of people who know exactly what they want to eat. The neighbourhood has noticed: lunchtimes fill early, and the tables closest to the giant pizza fire-oven go first.
If you are looking for a pizza restaurant in Aldgate that treats your lunch hour with respect, this is us. In by ten past, fed by twenty past, back at the desk on time. The same speed holds in the evening, when the after-work tables fill and the frozen cocktail machine starts earning overtime.
Aldgate eats in shifts and we serve all of them. The lunch rush wants food in minutes, and the fire oven obliges. The after-work crowd wants a table big enough for the whole team and a frozen cocktail that arrives before the first work story ends. Later on, we are the sensible stop between the City and a night out east, open until 11pm every single day of the week. Weekends bring a different crowd and the same speed.
If you are new to the area, we are one of five Pizza Union sites across central London, alongside Holborn, Hoxton, Kings Cross and Spitalfields, so wherever the week takes you there is usually a fire oven within walking distance. Aldgate is where the City loosens its tie, and we have built the room to match: quick when you need quick, easy when you want to stay.
Searching for a pizza restaurant in Aldgate that gets you fed fast without emptying your wallet? Pizza Union is a fire-baked Pizza Bar a short walk from Aldgate and Aldgate East. Every Roman-style pizza is thin, crispy and made the moment you order. We would call ourselves a Pizza Bar rather than a restaurant, but as a pizza restaurant Aldgate locals and City workers can count on for a quick, cheap, proper lunch, we take some beating.
We are open from 11am to 11pm, seven days a week, serving the full menu all day.
You will find us at 29 Leman Street, London, E1 8PT, in Goodman's Fields, a short walk from Aldgate East station.
You can walk in any time for everyday visits. For bigger get-togethers, our big tables can be reserved through the Group Booking page on this website.
Yes. Delivery and Click & Collect are both available every day, so you can eat our pizza wherever suits.
Everything on the menu earns its place. Our pizza dough is pressed to order, the toppings stay classic and the pricing starts at £3.95. Salads and savoury bites cover the non-pizza crowd, and the desserts keep it Italian: gelato and Sicilian cannoli. All fifteen pizzas are on the board every day, from the £3.95 Marinara up, so the choice is real without ever being complicated. The bar side keeps it simple too: beer, wine and frozen cocktails at £4.95.
There is no private dining formality here. Dining with us means big communal tables, ordering at the till and food that arrives before the conversation gets going. The whole visit runs at your pace rather than ours. If you would rather eat at home or back at your desk, Click & Collect and delivery both run from this Pizza Bar every day.
