Gordos Pizzeria is an independent Italian pizza restaurant on Kingsland Road in Dalston, serving an extensive menu in a lively and informal setting. The kitchen keeps pizza at the centre of the experience, with plenty of familiar recipes and more adventurous combinations for diners who want something different. Guests can eat in, collect an order or build a relaxed meal around pizzas and shared starters.
Classic choices include the Margherita with mozzarella, olive oil and fresh basil, alongside ham and mushroom, four cheese and four seasons recipes. The Puttanesca combines anchovies, olives, capers, red onion and Parmesan, while the Diavola and Lucifero bring a stronger chilli kick. Other pizzas feature ingredients such as Italian sausage, nduja, ricotta, burrata, artichokes and sun blushed tomatoes.
White base pizzas offer a change from tomato, including combinations built around friarielli, buffalo cheese, garlic and sausage. Vegetarian diners have a broad selection, vegan cheese can be added to suitable recipes and gluten free bases are available for those who prefer them. The variety makes it straightforward for mixed groups to order according to their own tastes while sharing a few contrasting slices.
Starters range from mixed olives and garlic bread to burrata salad, artichoke salad and rocket with Parmesan and balsamic dressing. Beer, Italian wine, cocktails and soft drinks complement the savoury menu, while desserts and ice cream provide a simple finish. With late daily opening and a menu made for sharing, Gordos is well suited to an easy Dalston lunch, an evening meal or pizza gathered around the table at home.
