PizzaStorm is an exciting new concept, offering fast, fresh, and most importantly custom-made 11 inch stone-baked pizzas in super-quick time using a 900 degree oven. The restaurant offers over 50 unlimited toppings to choose from, which equates to over a million different combinations. Choose to craft your own or select from one of the 6 Hall of Flames signature pizzas, which include recipes such as “This Little Piggy Had BBQ”, “The Mexicana”, and the “Blazin’ Tornado”.

If you choose to craft your own you’ll be guided along the PizzaStorm counter where you can pick your base sauce, then your cheese, and on to your choice of veg and meat toppings. Finally adding your finishing touches from a range of original PizzaStorm sauces. Whatever the pizza, however many toppings, it’s all for less than £9!

Sides on offer include guacamole, coleslaw and garlic bread. And, if you still have a sweet tooth to satisfy after all that pizza, there is the temptation of unlimited ice cream with various toppings and sauces.

The restaurant offers a selection of craft beers from Meantime Brewery, ciders and wines, as well as refill sodas and fruit flavoured waters. Available to eat in or take-away, the 100 cover restaurant is an interactive, lively space for people who love pizza – making it the perfect choice for any occasion, any time of day!

All In London Review

Modern, yet nostalgic

Review Image
Trying a new restaurant is always a great excuse for an evening out. However, they don't come much more convenient for us than Pizzastorm that has just opened up in Wandsworth Town. A stone's throw from our flat, we were very much hoping that this could be our new local. The concept is simple: pizza ready in 5 minutes thanks to the wood-fired oven at the end of the pizza production line - they claim 180 seconds in the 900-degree heat will cook it to perfection.

Now wood-fired pizza is nothing new, there is a rival pizza oven just a few doors down in fact. However, where Pizzastorm sets itself apart is offering a menu boasting "millions of pizza combos". Now this is not a huge tome you have to flick through to find what you want to order. Instead, you craft your own, picking from fifty toppings to make a pizza that is very much yours. There are seven pizzas preconfigured if you wanted to go down that route, but why would you want to, and where is your imagination?!

You can choose every part, from the sauce used on the base, to the different cheeses, vegetables and meats. To finish it off you can add seasoning and sauces to glaze. This all creates something you can be proud of, and potentially some friendly competition with those you are dining with, deciding whose really is the greatest creation.

The setting is very simple and modern, in that stripped-back industrial sort of way. There are stools at high tables for that communal eating vibe, or if you prefer a table for two there is that option too. The high ceilings give a really impressive feel to the place when you walk in or are just looking through the large glass windows from the street outside. The staff are friendly and helpful when explaining how the process works, and add all the things you choose to your dough right in front of you as you pass down the production line. While the surroundings are modern you can't help by being struck by nostalgia. There is something incredibly nostalgic about making your own pizza. It can transport you back to the times as a child you made a face out of pepperoni and put too much cheese on top of the ready made pizza bases. Luckily the staff are on hand to help avoid those sort of bad decisions!

Our pizza choices couldn't have been more different. One focusing on vegetables, the other seeing just how many varieties of meat could go on the dough. The stars of the vegetable show were the butternut squash and the roasted courgette. From the meat point of view, the chorizo added a lovely smokiness and oozing orange oil. However, our top tip is the cheeses, especially adding parmesan once all the toppings are on the pizza. Hand torn mozzarella is a must, but also blending in a bit of cheddar and small chunks of gorgonzola added great bursts of flavour too.

As you can see you can really go all out with the toppings, and that is such a large part of the enjoyment Pizzastorm offers. The ingredients they use are of a good quality and the pizzas tasted great following their 180 seconds in the fire. To be hypercritical, a finger could be pointed at the dough, which is machine rolled. However, there needs to be a trade-off, so perhaps this is understandable. There is a need for speed, both of serving as many people quickly and efficiently, and to get the pizzas cooked in that very quick time too. The dough isn't the best you will have, but it can be seen as a vessel to get all the toppings you want into your mouth efficiently.

Pizzastorm is a good night out. Grab a bottle of wine, a couple of beers in the queue, or get stuck into the unlimited soft drink refills and flavoured waters. Design your pizza and then finish up with a self-serve soft scoop ice cream and toppings. The bottom line is creating your own pizza is fun, good, clean, tasty fun. Even though you think you might have grown up, learnt your lessons from childhood, you can't help but try to put just one more topping on, there's always room for just one more. Go and see for yourselves.
