Pizza Pilgrims are getting 5ive to play at their fifth birthday bash

Where does the time go, eh? Former street food and citywide sourdough favourite Pizza Pilgrims is about to turn five! FIVE! Quite understandably, it’s throwing a party to celebrate – and getting eyebrow-ringed, hair-gelled ’90s boyband of the gods 5ive to play it! 5IVE! Expect plenty of slam-dunk funk, folks getting down and other raunchily kinetic goings-on. Utterly unprecedented stuff.

There is a catch, though: tickets for the shebang – which takes place at Pizza Pilgrims’ new West India Quay outpost on Friday April 28 – are available only via a nice democratic raffle. As well as 50 pairs of tickets to the glistening-browed pop regression session (plus pizza, obvs) there will be prizes including cocktail- and pizza-making masterclasses, bottles of Pococcello (aka in-house limoncello) and sessions in the new spot’s dedicated Super Mario Kart booth.

Tickets are a fiver from Design My Night and the draw takes place on Friday April 21. Even if you win zip, your ticket can be redeemed for a margherita at Pizza Pilgrims West India Quay throughout the summer. So it’s basically win-win.

Pizza party got you piqued? Here's our run-down of London’s best.
