Circle & Slice is an independent bakery, café and pizzeria at 11 Whitechapel Road in Whitechapel. Open from breakfast until late evening, it combines a colourful sit down space with quick takeaway service. The fully halal menu brings freshly baked pastries, Italian comfort food and lighter café dishes together under one roof, with useful choices for vegetarian and vegan diners.
Sourdough pizza is a central attraction, available as a whole pie or a single slice. Toppings range from Margherita and vegetable combinations to four cheese, mushroom, spicy salami, meat feast and Hawaiian. The long fermented dough develops a crisp, blistered edge while retaining enough structure for generous toppings, and a dedicated vegan pizza gives plant based diners more than a token alternative.
Pasta adds familiar choices such as carbonara and basil pesto alongside other changing sauces. Filled baguettes, savoury croissants, quiche and wraps make practical lunch options, while substantial salad bowls combine fresh vegetables and careful dressing. The variety means a table can mix pizza with lighter dishes or stop for a quick sandwich without losing the café’s Italian influence.
The bakery counter carries croissants, pain au chocolat, cinnamon rolls, cakes, brownies and other small pastries throughout the day. Italian desserts such as tiramisu and generously filled cannoli provide a natural finish after pizza or pasta. Espresso, cappuccino, fresh juice, kombucha and other soft drinks complete a menu that moves comfortably from an early coffee to a relaxed evening meal.
