All In London Review

Cheap, huge pizzas and perfect people watching on Columbia Road

Cheap, cheerful and boasting a great location at the end of Columbia Road, Stingray Globe Cafe is a no-brainer if you want filling up cheaply. Done up in no frills style, the place is all wooden tables pushed close, simple colours and tiles. On a road where the shops are all independent and unapologetically expensive, Stingray Globe stands out. It has been around for years and its popularity doesn’t seem to wane, despite the continued arrival of competition on Hackney Road. Of course, the location helps. Its position at the end of Columbia Road – home of the weekly flower market – comes complete with outside seating set against the cobbles for perfect people watching.

The menu is as simple as the décor, all pizzas and classic Italian pasta dishes. Portions are vast – especially the pizzas – and while the food is hardly fine dining fare, the prices are too good to see that as a negative. The most expensive pizza on the menu is £7.50 and most are at least £1 less than that. Lunchtime seats are difficult to secure on Sundays due to the market’s people pulling power but booking is available. The café also does breakfast and brunch from 11am and naturally, the price of a full English breakfast is as competitive as those on the main menu.

If you’re looking for a big meal, in a lively yet relaxed environment on one of the sharpest streets in East London then the Stingray Globe Pizzeria is faultless.
