All In London Review
We were attracted by the unusual pizza menu
The pizza menu has sections on Africa, Asia, Americas, Australasia and Europe. My colleague – a vegetarian – browsed the Asia menu and selected Lombok (£8.95) which comprised garlic prawns, hoi sin sauce, red peppers with spring onions and chilli oil. She seemed happy enough.
I went for the slightly more creative Acapulco (£7.95) from the Americas menu – ground chilly beef, jalapenos, red onions with sour cream and guacamole - a delightful combination of flavours. Our Greek side salad overflowed from its dinky bowl. My mojito was passable and my colleague’s glass of Chenin Blanc was nice enough. The total bill came to around £30 so reasonable value for money.
Sadly the service was poor. The staff were young, slow and largely disinterested. This was a real shame as the décor was outstanding – a great copper oven reaching to the ceiling, bright red and white walls, frosted and patterned glass windows, sociable bench seats as well as traditional tables and chairs, some raised booths for small groups and real fires keeping those dining outside warm.

We ate at Fire & Stone last week and were very pleased! We chose it at random walking in off the street and weren't sure what to expect. Once inside, we found a cheerful, modern decor, friendly staff, and delicious food. It was half term for British school children, and there was a "kids eat free" offer (with adults ordering), AND once my husband and I had ordered our Cokes, the server helpfully informed us that, if we planned to order pizza, we would save money by taking advantage of another pizza+soft drink special. The selection of pizzas was very impressive and we had trouble deciding but were all pleased with what we had. My smaller children ordered from the children's menu....a choice of toppings on pizza or an antipasti plate, drink and ice cream included (normally £4.95). The antipasti plate was gorgeous: hummous, olives, ham, and broad beans in tomato sauce. Our server was warm and friendly and ran off to check with the manager when we asked a question she couldn't answer herself. We felt so fortunate we had found ourselves in this great place, and we'll definitely go back next time we are in London.

Nice new shiny place, though downstairs (where we ate) has little atmoshpere. Reminded us a little of a fast food restaurant! Upstairs looked better and was full. Service was OK, menu was good, but the pizza bases are amongst the least appealing we've tried. Particularly disappointing as we are big fans of wood oven pizzas (Northern Italy) and had high expectations of being served thin, crispy, slightly blackened and chewy bases. However, we found the bases quite sweet and a little dry, almost more biscuit than bread - not to our tastes.

This is a pretty impressive venue (huge, high ceilings and very modern design) and serves unsual pizzas (including ones with roast potatoes!!)..having said that although the pizzas were unusual i wouldn't have said they were any better than your average Pizza Express/Strada/etc... and the starters were pretty unimaginative on the set menu we had. Overall was quite happy but not wowed by the food, although i did love the interior.
