Kotch! Italian Stone-Baked Pizza & Pasta in London

Great pizza!

A pizza worthy of being served to a Neapolitan. Very good authentic pizza. Tasty homemade tiramisu. A beautiful experience.

The pizza was delicious (especially pizza primavera), and Arianna provided an excellent service!

Absolutely amazing Pizzas!

The tomato sauce is amazing !!!

Great little intimate restaurant. Pizza and pasta was perfect! We will be back

I took 3 of my work colleagues to have a pizza on Friday and what has really disappointed me was how the chef in the kitchen have treated us. They have priorities over an hour slot take away pizzas only and they have left us seating 1 hour and 20 Min waiting for a pizza, waiter was overstressed as was on his own looking after drinks, food, orders and take away and as i have been working 12 years in hospitality I would say that should have be a job for 2 peoples. Restaurant has no heater so was very very cold inside, delivero and just eat were coming every 10 minutes and was not good atmosphere in the restaurant, toilet was dirty as well. Food is very good and thats why I took my colleagues in here but we all didnt enjoy the waiting of the pizza and the disrespect from the kitchen prioritizing take away rather than us. They have also served a table of 4 before us that have ordered pizza 20 Min After us. I would order again pizza take away but I wouldnt go to eat again in the restaurant. Its a shame this pizzeria have lot of potential but is only focused on take away customers.

We were running late on our table reservation, and they were so kind to take us in anyway. Pizzas are a delight, and the service is great. Best recipe is starters to share, pizzas to share and a chocolate donut to share; this way youd be able to enjoy more of their tasty menu. Grazie mille from Riga, Latvia! Kid-friendliness: Come with kids theyll love it.

One of the best Italian restaurants in London, for the quality of the products but above all for the kindness of the staff. I highly recommend it because you will be thrilled!!!

Amazing Italian pizza, the dough is Soo light you will end up eating the entire pizza, including crust. The waiters are just Soo kind and friendly. I can say it is the proper taste of Italy.

Perfect delicious food

Best pasta ever tried

Love this place, great pizza, great service! Great food and will keep coming back for more! Food : 5/5

Nice and welcoming place...very good pizza! As if you were in Italy... highly recommended and located very close to the metro stop.

The pizza is absolutely amazing. I particularly like the classic marguerita and the trufffle and ricota. Staff is really nice too!

Tasty and good value! Everything is freshly made, love my pizza! Pizza is 12 but surprisingly not heavy at all. Rich in flavor but light. Gem in the city. It tastes great and the price is fair. The pizza is delicious. The first bite may seem like its not strong enough, but the more you eat, the better it gets. Its not greasy, and the proportions are just right.

The food it s authentic Italian. Forgot to take picture of the food as we were too hungry. Had pizza fritta,margherita and pepperoni pizzas 100 recommend Food : 5/5

Excellent Pizza, straightforward menu, cosy little place.

A cozy local Italian pizza restaurant. The pizza is very chewy and delicious. Weve been enjoying the food here for a long time. Highly recommended, especially Margherita and the likes and the Nduja one.

Very nice pizza and great service, definitely recommend

Amazing service from Ross great team, great food amazing all around!

Yeah pizza was decent tbf, the guy who served us was a legend!

A hidden gem of stratford. If you like good food, you cant ignore it. Food

Proudly presenting delicious food and excellent flavor with excellent hospitality and welcome. Very good. I continue to recommend.

Ordered via just eat right now But the order was wrong! Would try again maybe at the venue but quite disappointed on the delivery side.

Authentic pizzas. Probably the best in town

Very tasty food, nice quiet atmosphere and beautiful decoration. Good and helped by a friendly gentleman. Super good price and quality ratio! Kid-friendliness: Friendly and neat. Exactly what you hope for from a pizza restaurant

Amazing restaurant with great food! Good vegan options.

The food was outstanding, with the pizza being freshly made and authentic. The staff were fantastic as well.

Wood fired pizzas were amazing. Vegan Gnocchi also really nice, great balance on creaminess and richness

Great pizza

Absolutely fantastic, fresh pizza. Great dough base. Lovely atmosphere and wonderful, kind service. Highly recommend this place

Very good pizza and desserts and good prices

Small but nice restaurant located on a main road in East London. Booking in advance is recommended. Friendly service, who tried very hard to get things right. The choice of pizzas is more than sufficient and you can also put together a pizza yourself. Large pizzas with thin bases and generous toppings. Monthly special was with pistachios and mortadella. Very tasty, as was the delicious raspberry cheesecake. Prices are reasonable, 11% service costs are charged. Highly recommended!

The best pizza I ve ever had. they have V and halal options too Food

We were almost forgotten, but the food is delicious. Fully priced. Large pizza 13 pounds.

Genuine food Good ingredients Everything just right, will definitely come again Food : 5/5

Excellent pizza, cleanliness and courtesy at the top. I absolutely recommend it

One of my favourite pizza spots in London. The truffle & ricotta pizza it s just Staff is lovely. Would recommend go eating it there as it better right out of the oven!

Lovely little pizzeria we normally order take away or delivery we live pretty close but even the restaurant worth to spend an evening for a casual dinner

Hella chill, relaxed environment. Im not very fond of Italian food all the time, but the food here was top-notch and is definitely going to get another visit. Prices didnt break the bank, got a solid meal for under £20. Staff were super friendly, would definitely recommend. The chicken here was halal as well!!!

Came here for the first time tonight, and let me tell you this place did not dissapoint! We had amazing starters and fried pizza as our mains. The drinks were delicious and the staff who served us was great, she was very polite and helpful and provided us with excellent customer service!

The best place in the area. Quality pizza sold here, so dining in is a must. Although I m usually not a fan, one must desperately try the Nutella ring.

Enjoyed a family meal at this very pleasant Italian which served us with excellent gnocchi and bolognaise with salad and garlic bread. Prompt, friendly service in a modern environment with reasonable prices.

Visited Kotch yesterday and it was just fantastic. In particular, they had a monthly special going on with cavolo nero cream with anchovies, and gnocchi alla sorrentina, which was just incredible. I will be back.

Super nice and welcoming place, top service and very kind staff!

Very nice place and people

AMAZING!!!

Really nice place

Great pizza, very friendly service and great setting. A welcome addition to a thriving Maryland

Delicious pizza. Definitely among the best in East London Vegetarian options: Gluten free dough was delicious

Located just outside Maryland station might make you think that the place isnt quite authentic... couldnt be more WRONG! Pizza was very good and the palace inside is warm and cosy. Will definitely become my new local pizza place Food

I think the pizza was great! The truffle and ricotta with the charcoal dough was v nice! I liked it more when I came back home cause I could add seasonings liberally since I like spicy. But I think in general most people will like it. A bit on the pricey side- we spent 40 pounds on two pizzas.

Was quite good.

We visited Kotch! on a Friday night and had the most lovely time ever! When we arrived, staff kindly welcomed & accommodated us - everybody was so polite and smiling, we really appreciated that! We were offered delicious, complementary Nocellara olives to start off our dinner. We ordered a fantastic bottle of Sicilian crispy white wine and a mixed antipasti dish! The ham was fantastic and the crispy bread a perfect match! We then got our pizzas and wowwww! They were massive and superlative! The dough was tasty and its consistency was just right!! Well done guys! One of the best pizzas I had in London! I recommend with no hesitation & I cant wait to come back for more!

The pizza was delicious, very professional staff and very nice ambience, I highly recommend

Very tasty food and very friendly staff

Dietary restrictions: Halal and veg options Food

What an amazing little place tucked away close to Maryland station. Blink and you might miss it. This authentic pizzeria offers a range of fantastic, flavoursome pizzas. The staff were attentive and helpful. Though small inside, the atmosphere was great. The nduja pizza was a particular highlight. Incredible crust, spicy nduja and oozy cheese. They also have an authentic Italian IPA which was great. You have to check this place out!

This my favourite pizza place in London! Its a cozy and beautiful restaurant, and the food is fantastic. My family came from Italy to visit and we came here to eat and they all loved it! We were saying that this is the best pizza we had in a long time.. We really recommend this place ;)

Food is amazing and the staff is super friendly.

Fantastic value, really good portions (so much so, we sadly passed up the dessert menu after starters and a pizza), lovely atmosphere and fantastic service. Would recommend!

Hidden gem. The fried pizza rules

Really good pizza.

The food is amazing. Love all the pizzas! One of the best in London. The service is good and the restaurant environment is cosy and nicely design. Price is reasonable. Feeling warmth and like a home with good meal. Doughnut Dessert is definitely a must. Highly recommended. Will return to eat again.

I visited Kotch with my family for a birthday meal. This is not the first time I visited and knew how good and authentic the food is there. We arrived a little before the booking time however the place was empty and it appeared this was not an issue. We were greeted by a friendly member of staff, who was going to also be the waiter for the rest of the experience. A baby chair was provided at our request, the chair was clean and the waiter very accommodating. Along with a jug of tap water, we ordered a carafe of sauvignon blanc and a starter of bruschetta. The drinks were served promptly however there were some fairly concerning hygiene shortcomings with the tap water. Although it was served at our request with ice in it, our waiter saw fit to add more ice by taking an ice tray out in the dining area, removing the ice from the tray with bare hands and then adding it to the jug. Although this gesture had indeed good intentions behind, we found it concerning that the waiter saw nothing wrong with handling ice bare hands before putting it in the water. Moving forward, the bruschetta was served. It was warm and crispy, with fresh tomatoes. A true delight. The sauvignon blanc tasted good however there were some shortcomings with the cleanliness of the wine glasses and jugs overall. We decided to have mains to share and ordered one pizza fritta tradizionale and a 5 cheeses pizza. These were served promptly and delicious. And what a nice surprise, one of the pizzas had candles on. This was a nice personalised touch and showed the staff paid attention to us. The pizzas were well presented, cooked to perfection and tasted just like in Italy, just what we were looking for. In addition to the candles on one of the pizzaz our friendly waiter kindly gave my wife and I two servings of Limoncello on the house. We did ask for some more water and our waiter cleared the two empty jugs and asked which had water in it. This came as a surprise as I assumer a fresh clean new one would have been used. Our waiter saw fit to smell the bottles and find which was which, which was a bit odd. This was a great touch, much appreciated. Although very full with the delicious food, we decided it was a must to try a chocolate doughnut. Once again this arrived in a very timely manner and was delicious. Despite the two shortcomings mentioned above, we had a great meal. The food was authentic and delicious. The service was prompt and friendly, very accommodating for our family and the order was correct. I would definitely recommend and return.

We came here for dinner before a show last month and we had the most amazing waiter/chef/barman (all the same person!). The meal was absolutely divine, cocktails amazing and the service was fantastic. We could see how busy he was while we were there dealing with other orders. He even apologised how long our meal was taken but honestly wasnt needed as everything was lovely. Will definitely be back in the future!

Best pizza Ive had for a while. Inventive flavour combinations which really worked. Excellent choice and good value. Nice atmosphere too.

Suggested by a friend, as an Italian, I can easily say that is one of the best italian pizzas in east London. Highly suggested!

Kotch pizzas are delicious. Great dough and obviously quality ingredients.

When you see cuoppo on the menu you know you are in the right place. Divine pizza, sausage and friarielli come shredded so they can be cooked properly, thin dough, gluten-free and vegetable charcoal also available. 15 minutes walk from Westfield, dont miss out!

Fantastic place with great authentic Italian pizza The staff are super friendly and theres a lot of choice of pizzas

The service was brilliant and the food was delicious. I can t recommend them enough!

We went during the first few weeks when they opened up. The pizza was good, however, they used English bacon as one of the toppings. When I raised it with the owner, he didnt take it well. He insisted that it was Italian prosciutto cotto. It clearly wasnt. A reasonable response would have been to show me the packaging of the prosciutto. I would have gone back again were it not for this incident where the owner came across as a bit rude. I havent been back ever since.

Tried the Brunch menu. Pretty good full breakfast, although the Italian sausage was a little hard and unusual. Not bad, though. Pancakes were good, with bacon and sausage (again, a little unusual). Service was very attentive and welcoming, although it got busy for the small team serving. Would like to try the pizzas, for sure.

I like to support independent catering businesses but I feel compelled to share my recent Kotch experience. We decided to travel here after reading the plethora of favourable internet reviews. Sadly, the best thing I can say is the server was very attentive. I love good Italian food but, somewhat disappointingly, what we ate was not good Italian food. As the old saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. Hello, Claudio, thank you for your detailed response. Perhaps I was a tad hasty in writing my original message. I do take your point that the dishes we chose did not represent traditional Italian cuisine. Just to clarify, we opted for the fried pizza as the gluten free pizza was not available on the day we came along to your restaurant, this was really our sole purpose for visiting. Also, we ordered the polenta chips because I am familiar with these and how they taste in our culture. Please do not think I am doubting your knowledge but I understood that, not only did balsamic vinegar originate in Italy, it is used throughout that wonderful country. However, I would like to thank you for your speedy response and kind invite. I wish you all the best.

Poor reviews are written by idiots. This was the most authentic food I have had outside of Naples. Service was friendly and efficient too. Prices reasonable for how lovely the food and drinks are. Im glad to live locally! Reservation is recommended.

Kotch is what makes me feel back home! I tried their calzone and I genuinely felt back in Naples

I liked their pizza and everything however the cost was different than the one in the minu

We went for an early lunch on a Sunday, and were the only people there at the restaurant. We ordered the black bun with bacon and mushroom and the salsiccia and friariella pizza for two people. The black bun was unique but tasty and the pizza was pretty good as well.

Amazing pizza. Excellent service. Friendly staff

So today we went for a pizza and some friends (because we mainly go for food, friends just tag along) and Kotch! (Although to be honest I still feel ignorant to the name, it clearly gives away a vibe I just don t know what is it) was the pizzeria of choice .. and they are great. Place is fun, pizza is quick and flavourful, antipasti are just , they have some nasty promotions like 2 for 1 pizzas and service is one of the best you get can in London: in a city that barely sleeps, constantly torn between taking a second job to the benefit of the landlord or get drunk of self indulgence, an efficient person, understanding of your requests and quick to bring food, drinks or a smile to the table, is just what you need to feel wholesome again. Thanks Kotch! Fantastic food, which just couldn t be better but wait the service is so good that it becomes better!

Its the third time weve been dining here with my husband and it keeps getting better! The pizza are authentic and delicious, the Aperol Spritz are very well made and the wine is great! We were served by a very professional and lovely waitress :) Well be back again and again and again! X

As an italian I can say the pizza was actually very nice, and really good service too, def coming back!

Takeaway pizza is often cold by the time it arrives. The dough is very greesy and heavy. It is one of the beeter pizza places around. Their offers are often not very gernerous, and if you manage to get a free pizza for ordering 10, they only give you 10 days to spend the voucher. Bit mean really considering the pizza is not cheap.

One of the best pizza in London - bufalina is the way!

Best pizza in east London IMO There are so many pathetic attempts at pizza in London these days, but Kotch is the real deal. Not sure about this charcoal gimmick, but pizza is always the same, EXCELLENT Food : 5/5

Small but welcoming pizzeria a stones throw from the Maryland station stop. Very good pizza, and if I say it, Im Italian, you can believe it!

Authentic pizza napoletana in a cozy environment with great service! We are happy we found this little gem

Delicious food, very friendly staff and a lovely little restaurant.

Excellent experience. Great food and drink. Service exceptional. Visit. Visit now, or else! Food : 5/5 |

Really disappointed. I ordered a Calzone Mulignana but it had no tomato sauce. I called to ask what they could do about it, but the lady over the phone just told me to send an email which I could have found on the website. Sadly I couldnt find an email address. She also insisted that on the website it says that the calzone comes without tomato sauce but it is incorrect. Loved their pizza, but the order and service wasnt good at all.

The first pizza was stale and the second wasn t even the correct order. I ve ordered from Kotch before and the way their quality has dropped is seriously shocking.

Had a really horrible Too Good To Go experience with Kotch. Ordered two bags and just got two pizzas with tomato sauce and olives. Nothing else. Really disappointed with this behaviour, especially when the pizzas were made fresh in front of me and were definitely not going to waste.

Visited yesterday evening with some work colleagues who have visited a few times in the past weeks. Simply fantastic food, and the staff were polite and most helpful! I ordered the Garlick bread to start, along with a margarita as my main. Best pizza I ve had in a LONG TIME! THANK YOU!!!

Popped in here on a whim, as had some time to kill and so glad I did. My partner ordered a flat white, and I had a latte, which were both fantastic. We enjoyed that while waiting until midday, when the main menu starts (prior to that it was a brunch menu, but we d already had breakfast) and ordered a margarita pizza to share. They say you can judge a pizzeria on the margarita alone, and no doubt about it, this was the real deal. The crust, the tomato, the cheese - all were divine, and served by friendly staff including the chefs in the open kitchen. The only thing that could be better is if the place was busier to give it the vibe - hence my review, as highly recommend. Especially worthwhile if the sun is shining and either of the two tables out front are available - they weren t for us, so we happily sat inside. The bill was £18.59 including service - a little higher than I expected, but the quality of the ingredients was very high, and as you ve learned I really enjoyed the food, drinks and service to consider this well worth it.

Fantastic Salsiccia and Friarielli. Lovely place too.

Good pizza but really slow delivery.

Amazing place! Great staff! Excellent customer service! Would recommend!

Came here for brunch with 8 friends, and it was so delicious! Great vegan options with really good vegan feta. They also do oat milk to go with coffees. This is something different to a standard brunch, reasonably priced, lovely, welcoming vibe, and excellent music taste too. We all loved it and will definitely be back. It was also good booking for my friends with good correspondence ahead of arriving.

Unbelievably delicious food. Large portions and well worth the price. Cozy atmosphere as well :) loved every moment and definitely recommend to anyone seeking out near authentic pizza outside of Italy!

One of the best pizzas I ve ever had!

The best pizza and very authentic. Highly recommended. Even if you take away and it gets cold, pop in the oven for a short while and it is perfect again.

The best pizza that I ever eat. Great coffee and food ! The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is exactly what you need to enjoy the meal and have a great time! We are ordering take away as well, always on time and delicious!

Great food and pretty fast service!

Great pizza, as always. Enjoyed the happy hour cocktails too. Fab value for money - top pizza in Stratford.

Condiments out of the pizza

Best pizza in town

Fab pizzas! Will definitely return and recommend!

The pizza was very tasty. We waited a total of an hour for four cocktails and the service wasnt really friendly. The restaurant is stylishly furnished.

Tried their gourmet, pink 5 cheese pizza with pistachio nuts, it is really delicious. The pizza dough I must say, one of the best in town. It is a bit pricey though, but it was worth it.

The dough tastes like bread and they are super expensive, definitely not and its worth looking for something else.

If you pass through Stratford its worth trying delicious pizza and calzones

Best Pizza in London

Great place! I love the decor and the atmosphere and of course the pizza! The owners are really friendly and polite! It really makes the Maryland area nicer! Well done!

Always wanted to pop in so I did. Primavera pizza had got that buttery flavour that I like , all in was fresh. Drinks always should be served straight away but I got my meal within 8 minutes as wasn t busy so Im satisfied. Place is tiny btw

What a great pizza, mmmm yummy tummy. I recommend that place.

I really like the Passion and Love of the Italian owners are putting in this cosy Italian modern pizzeria Kotch !... the quality of the products are amazing and you can enjoy a real Italian Stone Baked pizza ! One of the best Italian pizza wich I ever tested here in London.

Top pizza Ordering through their site might be a little messy but at least i got some extra drinks for the inconvenience

Lovely place for pizza! Found it over google - drove to the area just for this and its been delicious. Pricing was fine & the staff was friendly and very helpful! 100% recommended Parking: Close to Restaurant

Too expensive for what you get,calm down with the prices and you will be worth it.

Fantastic pizza and service. Shout out to Arianna and Nunzio. Highly recommended

I order a fry pizza and is the worst thing I ever eat the dough was raw inside and wet ask if the meat was halal the chicken yes but no prouve of that to show

Unfortunately, one of the worst pizzas Ive had. I ordered a capricciosa and it seemed like the meat had been sitting out all day and dried up. The pizza base was okay but the main ingredients were inedible

Absolutely lovely people! Called for a huge order (30+ pizzas) when I was working with a film crew nearby on a night shoot and we needed a pick me up. The food was great and they were able to fit to our late schedule and get everything ready. Lovely staff who labelled everything up and precut the pizzas. Truly a great experience and cant wait to come again.

Great food, amazing staff

Awesome food!! Even the brunch is great!!!

Best pizza in London for me hands down. Salsiccia and Friarielli was amazing.

Love this pizza place...they have some really nice pizza types.

Very well-prepared pizza, A1 service

Fantastic local business with great quality, delicious food. Will be back to try their brunch and more of the pizza menu!

Best pizza in London. Thank you Kotch!!!!

Superb pizza and lovely ambience.

Tasty and fast service

Delicious pizza and great service.

Best pizza in Maryland

The best neapolitan style pizza that you can find in town, with a very good dough and choice of ingredients it is one of the few places that justify spending 20£ ISH for person. Recommended.

The pizza is delicious, the decor is great, and service is prompt and friendly. Why 4 stars rather than 5? Well, just under £15 for a pizza (with service) is quite expensive, and doesn t feel quite right here. I look forward to trying the brunch and maybe updating this review.

Calamari where terrible. I think worst I had in my life, I had to check menu because I was thinking Im consuming onion ring. Rest of sea food bucket was decent. Pizza caprichosaa was delicious. Non-alcoholic drinks were good. Overall pleasant experience.

Good pizza

Quick and friendly service, delicious food, fantastic and cozy atmosphere and decorations inside. Will definitely come back

Good pizza and service.

Good food, cool vibe and atmosphere. There s only space for a few tables so you need to book

Kotchi was amazing hospitality and service, local and great place to enjoy authentic neopalitan pizza! A real gem of the area!

Im an Italian and for the first time in London I found the real Neapolitan pizza. High quality ingredients, very digestible dough and a flavor that reminded me of being in Italy. Very courteous, professional, youthful staff with a smile taste advice: Sicilian always ready to welcome you. I recommend it wholeheartedly. I love it.

An entirely Italian corner, beautiful environment, good food and enormous kindness... Im proud of you

Favourite and best pizza in East London

Delicious pizza (and other delights)! Must visit! We live in nearby Bow and happened to be in Leyton. We were looking for a place to get some food and in the wilderness of awful chicken shops, we found this place. Fantastic little spot with delicious pizza and anti pasti. If you havent tried it before, make sure you try the craft Italian beer. Well be back!

Good pizza. Easy going atmosphere. Italian cool style.

Enjoy the most lopsided pizza in town! Get it while you can, because once America hears how much oil they have, they wont be around for much longer.

I went there for the first time with my husband, welcoming place, friendly and kind staff and TOP pizza! Advised! I will be for the first time with my husband, nice place, kindly and friendly staff and top pizza! Recommended!

Favourite pizza in east London. Good vegan option too. Always get it delivered but the restaurant is really nice too.

Yummy

Warm friendly service. Food is great

Authentic and charming little Italian. Good service and pleasant experience

Top original Italian pizzas. No.1

Best Pizza ever.

Best Pizza in town, I am originally from Napoli, Italy, and I can tell it is the best Pizza I have tried in UK

nice location, disappointing pizza, too sloppy and not very tasty, wont be going back again

I ordered food from tooGoodToGo I went to this restaurant and they gave me a small really small and cold pizza just one pizza for 4 pounds comparing to the other restaurants they give me l variety of foods In a great amounts the pizza tasted really bad im not recommending this place none of my friends and any human being
