Lardo
Lardo: Stylish Italian Pizzeria with Seasonal Flair in Hackney
Set within the heart of Hackney, Lardo is a stylish and spirited Italian pizzeria that channels East London cool with its industrial-chic interiors, open kitchen, and signature “disco ball” pizza oven. The restaurant’s menu is rooted in modern Italian cooking, with sourdough pizzas thrown to order and baked to blistered perfection in their dramatic wood-fired oven. Lardo's culinary approach blends seasonal ingredients with flair, offering both red and white base pizzas topped with everything from tenderstem broccoli and ricotta salata to fiery 'Nduja and creamy stracciatella. Vegan options and gluten-free bases show a thoughtful touch, and their Italophile wine list adds an effortlessly grown-up edge. Whether you're dropping in for a quick weekday lunch or gathering friends for weekend brunch, Lardo’s relaxed yet vibrant setting makes it a true neighbourhood favourite. Lardo's playful yet precise menu has earned it a Bronze Award from SquareMeal, who praised its modern Italian plates, buzzing atmosphere, and engaging hospitality. Highlights include the lardo and egg pizza, creamy small plates like leeks with cod’s roe and almonds, and indulgent desserts like house-made gelato or snappy cannoli. With seasonal specials appearing from time to time and its sister venue Coppa popping up each summer on the rooftop, the experience is always evolving. This East London dining gem is open for lunch and dinner every day, with brunch available on weekends, and remains one of Hackney’s most beloved spots for casual dining, great pizza, and a natural wine list.
