Mum's Pizza & Cuisine

Authentic Brazilian Pizza in London’s Heart

Walking into this hidden gem tucked away on a bustling East London street, I was immediately enveloped by the comforting aroma of freshly baked dough—a scent as familiar and heartwarming as a beloved family kitchen. Mum’s Pizza is not just a pizzeria; it is a vibrant tapestry of Brazilian hospitality woven firmly into the fabric of London’s diverse culinary landscape. The intimate atmosphere is adorned with lively chatter and friendly smiles, setting the tone for an exuberant gastronomic journey.

On my visit, I sampled their renowned catupiry chicken pizza—a harmonious medley of flavors with creamy, in-house cheese balanced against succulent shreds of chicken, each bite momentarily transporting me to the heart of São Paulo. Their rodízio experience offers a dazzling array of both savory and sweet pizzas, the Romeo and Juliet—a playful marriage of mozzarella and guava—echoed with each delightful mouthful. Though a few reports may describe a glacial online ordering system, my experience at the restaurant more than compensated, as the service was nothing short of family-like attentiveness. Cristina and her delightful staff embody the spirit of Brazilian conviviality, making every diner feel less like a customer and more like an old friend. Mum’s Pizza is a sanctuary of warmth, flavor, and togetherness, truly capturing the essence of home at every turn—an absolute must-visit spot not just for its authentic cuisine but also for its genuinely comforting atmosphere. — Jasper Griddle
