UK’s first cornmeal crust pizza


Notting Hill gets a slice of the action

Otto Pizza is poised to open in London’s Notting Hill, and we Gobbling folk can’t wait to go grab a slice of their cornmeal crust pie.

It’s the project of friends Rich and Tom who first happened upon the cornmeal concept while on holiday in America. Following a trusted recommendation, they stopped off at the Dove Viva pizza restaurant in Portland Oregan, and were so impressed that they set about bringing the distinctive flavour and texture back to London.

You might (we did) know cornmeal as polenta, or even grits. It brings strength to a pizza crust, allowing the chef to be ‘more creative (and generous) with the toppings.’ Its high fibre content makes it more filling than a traditional base, and the lads down at Otto reckon a 12” pizza feeds 2-3 people. They haven’t provided an estimate for hard up and hungry Gobbler, but you can rest assured we’ll be down there as soon as the oven’s on to see what they’ve got.

Otto Pizza opens soon. For more information, head to www.ottopizza.co.uk
