The location: Walthamstow – set in a beautiful old glass factory – opened in January 2017 and was our first shop with an actual yard (well, we say ‘yard’, its more of a deck!).
Our biggest shop to date, Walthamstow is a real hit E17ers, serving up our infamous pizza for dine-in, takeaway and delivery.
About Us: Yard Sale Pizza fired up the oven in 2014, starting with weekly supper clubs from our backyard in Hackney. We now offer delivery, dine-in and takeaway in 10 of our favourite neighbourhoods. Known for our collaborations, we’ve teamed up with illustrators, musicians, international chefs & local eateries- all on the quest for the perfect pie!
