Civerinos Slice

Wide variety of crispy, thin, sourdough pizza by the pie or the slice, with a student buzz and pretty quick turnover.

The 2019/20 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

Civerino’s Slice opened in 2017 to help ease the demand facing its increasingly popular sister restaurant on Hunter Square. Serving exclusively pizza from a roaring wood-fired oven, this diner manages the bulk of delivery orders as well as dishing out generously topped slices for hungry patrons looking for a quick bite on the go. As a result, the place is bustling with people popping in and out among the long sharing tables and American diner-style high-backed seating. The pizza menu is extensive, with unusual combinations of toppings; the white-base polar pear combining subtly roasted pear and pecorino with softly smoked nduja sausage, while the crouching brisket hidden kimchi is a mouth-watering ensemble of braised hoi sin beef brisket, kimchi spring onions, pickled cucumber and sesame seeds. For a heftier slice, go with the grandma slice – a thick, doughy pizza pie, baked in a deep Sicilian pan.
