ITALIAN PIZZA & CAFE

Italian Pizza & Cafe sits at the Barking Road end of Green Street, a wood-fired pizzeria with halal options that's won over East London families since opening last year. The 15-inch pizzas come piled with toppings — regulars call out the Tricolo Pollore and the tandoori chicken pizza as standouts, and kids love the fresh-made margheritas (one dad says "my kids love their Margherita pizzas"). There's a kids menu, highchairs, and outdoor seating for sunny days, plus buggy-friendly space inside. One reviewer appreciated how "the manager and the chef made my little princess smile." The dough is proper Italian-style, and reviewers note that custom pizzas are made while you watch. The lasagne and halal carbonara get enthusiastic mentions too. Most families come for the value, pizzas from £6.99, meal deals under £7, and what reviewers describe as friendly service. Takeaway regulars grab the latte for £2 on the way out.
