Yard Sale Pizza fired up the oven in 2014, starting with weekly supper clubs from our backyard in Hackney. We now offer delivery, dine‑in and takeaway in 15 of our favourite neighbourhoods.

Known for our collaborations, we've teamed up with illustrators, musicians, international chefs & local eateries—all on the quest for the perfect pie!

We've won London's most-loved restaurant in Time Out's 2016 Love London awards, were awarded Best Cheap Eats in the Observer Food Monthly Awards in 2017, and were voted London's favourite pizza in Time Out's inaugural Clash of the Slices in 2022.

We're a young and fast‑growing company who offer plenty of career progression for hard working and talented individuals. Our second shop south of the river in Balham serves the folk of South‑West London; the second shop opened in the midst of the pandemic in March 2021 and is still going strong! We are open for delivery & collection seven days a week, with a few spots outside to perch with your pizza when things are a bit more normal.

We've moved into an exceptional neighbourhood, with plenty of restaurants and bars to grab a drink after work : )
