Otto Pizza

My new favorite pizza place in Notting Hill, London!

OTTO PIZZA
6 Chepstow Road (just off Westbourne)
Phone: 0207 792 4088
CORNMEAL PIZZA CRUST = YUM. YUM. AND YUM!
The other night on our Bus 31 journey home I was on the top deck of the bus and the words CORNMEAL PIZZA CRUST just jumped out at me. I told Mike to email the name of the place to me and the next morning I looked it up found out that on a trip across the States the idea of opening this jewel blossomed. That night we checked it out and found our new pizza place!  We highly recommend the sausage pizza and if you don't like meat the 4 cheese was very tasty!  I'd also like to mention the staff was great! The were friendly and made sure we were taken care of at all times.

Here is the story of the two guys that opened it:

Tom and Rich were on a road trip across America and they stopped to re-fuel in Portland, Oregon.

On the recommendation of a close friend they visited “this amazing local pizza place”, Dove Vivi. It was there they discovered a food sent from the heavens. Cornmeal crust pizza.
On returning from the trip Tom and Rich decided that working in an office should be avoided. But that eating great pizza should be encouraged.
They found a café close to Notting Hill that needed a bit of a re-paint. They went for some training in Portland. And then they took a punt, got some builders in and opened up, offering cornmeal crust pizza for the first time in the UK.

We hope you like it, Mike and I sure did. Can't wait to go back!

Cheers,
WMMc

  1. They have vegan cheese as an option...so anyone with dairy issues or you know, doesn't want to eat animal products...this place is great!
