There is a secret restaurant that antipodeans, or really the Kiwis, have kept secret from the London public – and its called Hell Pizza. Was it Heaven or Hell? It was a bit of both.

This is not an ordinary pizza place with pizzas such as Brimstone, Damned, Cursed, Envy you know you’re going to have a devilish time. The venue is dark, cozy and very very informal. Greed, ironically one of the pizzas on the menu, motivated a group of us to attend Hell Pizza’s Tuesday all you can eat night. For £6 they promise you can eat all you want between the hours of 6pm-9pm.

My tip? If you go on a Tuesday get there early to nab a seat near the kitchen. We got there for about 6.15 and nearly all the limited seating had already been taken. We had to find a spot for about nine of us which wasn’t easy. We squeezed on to a table right near the front door and, unfortunately, very far from the kitchen. By the time 7 rolled around the place was packed with people desperate enough for Hell Pizza to stand.

Alternatively get a group of 8 of you and you can have an all you can eat night to yourself.

This is the way all you can eat night worked for us tonight: our one waiter for the night emerged from the kitchen with around three pizzas on his or her stand every half hour or so. He would make his way around the tables so if you’re unlucky enough, like us, to be by the door then you are likely to get served last which we did. However, he does make an effort to then start from a different spot the next time so sometimes we did get first pickings of the pizzas. Be warned you can only get one piece at a time (though vegetarians are sometimes pitied and given up to three slices at once and if you know the waiter you’re likely to get a couple of bonus pieces too.)

Early on in the evening the wait between pizzas was about 20 minutes? However the later it got the less crowded it got in the joint and the more quickly pizza started arriving. And then eventually towards 9pm the pizzas change to dessert pizzas. We probably all ended up with the equivalent of one whole pizza each by the end of the session.

Drinks are buy at your own pace from the bar. Bottled drinks and pints only I think.

The heaven was that the pizzas that we got were pretty tasty and I love the combinations (such as camembert, chicken, bacon, pineapple and salami – Trouble, or chicken, smoked cheddar, bacon, gherkins, ham, onions, honey mustard – Cursed, or chicken, bacon, chorizo, green pepper, onions, smokey bbq – Morder.) Pizzas were also clearly baked fresh and it was a cheap cheap cheap night out. The hell was that pizza came around way too slowly, there is not enough seating area in the joint and you didn’t get to choose the pizza flavour that you liked.

I think I’d like to go to hell again. If just to see what its like on a more normal night.
