Yard

This hip pizza joint, located in the heart of Shoreditch near Old Street Station, is set in a converted fire station on Tabernacle Road, complete with original tiles, outdoor seating and a unique warehouse vibe. With maroon awnings out the front and a trendy bar in the basement, Yard is always crammed with media types at lunch time, and a stylish after-work crowd that picks up on Friday nights. Famous for its square yard-length pizzas which can be ordered with up to four different toppings, the restaurant has a cult Shoreditch following and locals love the salads as well as the shredded duck pizza with Hoi Sin sauce and cucumbers, and the rocket and Parma ham pizza.
