Sweet Thursday: A Neighborhood Pizza Haven in Londonderry

Great little family spot with character in De Beauvoir, Sweet Tuesday features a wood fired oven, perfectly seasoned pizza dough, a colorful dining room and a neighborhood-y green backyard,

This is an easy going, family friendly and tasty pizza joint with a good wood fired crust going for it.  Basics include a decent house red, nice pizza and a pepper rocket green mixed salad.  Also features long tables for a casual meal, oh, and gelato!

This is not destination dining, but the pizza here is well crafted and tasty.  If you live nearby in Islington, this may turn into one of your local favorite pizza joints.

Seriously, the reviews praising the pizza make me think, once again, how unfortunate Londoners are in having not had NY pizza. How deprived they are! 

The pizza here is fine. It's thin like NY-style pizza but I was dismayed at the general lack of rich flavour in my pumpkin pizza (with Gorgonzola and provola). I had made it veg, so sans bacon, so maybe that made all the difference?! Also the pizza is served as a whole pie without being cut into quarters. When I flagged a staff member down to return it and have the pizza be cut, she acted like I was majorly pissing her off. Why would you NOT just serve a pizza cut?! 

Also the service is poor. I sat and waited a bit for a server to pay attention to me - even though there were only three other tables being served. Shame.

Great casual pizzeria with wide selection of pizza as well as yummy Italian mainstays. My risotto was fabulously light and flavourful with asparagus, pea shoots and fresh peas - I licked that bowl clean. Service was also prompt and friendly. I docked a star as we had come primarily on a tip that they had a kids menu that featured a Mickey Mouse shaped pizza - this was a bit of a stretch of the imagination and the style of pizza meant that my toddlers really struggled to eat the slices without the entire topping sliding off within seconds of picking up. Would happily come again for an adults only meal!

Excellent, wood fired pizza made to order. DELICIOUS!

Nice selection of craft beers available, and the prices are pretty reasonable, too. Recommended!

Good casual neighborhood spot for pizza. The pizza is stone oven baked, size is good, great crust/dough that is thin with slight chewiness. Toppings are well topped but what bothers me is when I order the Bufalotta, which is topped w/fresh tomato, buffalo mozzarella, and basil....the basil is nearly non existent. They put on about 3 small leaves for the whole pizza.  Otherwise, they're pretty good. 

I think the pizzas are a bit overpriced, but it's tasty pizza and location is convenient so guess I'm paying for that. They have a wine area to buy a bottle but what I think is a rip off is that they still charge a cork fee when you buy their bottle. 

The staff is nice and restaurant is spacious and not loud. It's a very chill spot and good for groups.

*Came here again recently and ordered the Bufalotta pizza again. The pizza was better made than before as the cheese wasn't completely melted and looked fresher, as opposed to before it was complete sogginess.

This place is great.

Superb, delicious, generously sized pizzas at a reasonable price. 

The, apparently, family run restaurant and bottle shop has been a favourite of mine for about 4 years now. A real sense of Italian dining on the inside. The dining room is long and thin and leads to the open kitchen at the rear, with it's wood fired pizza oven. Having said this on my latest visit this seemed to have been powered by gas.....anyway, it's not such a huge factor.

The food is fantastic. Start with the Nduja and yoghurt dip and you won't be disappointed. Best actually to go for two dishes to share for a starter, in my opinion, as the burrata is to die for.

Pizza is the name of the game and after a few trial runs, I discovered my favourite was the, slightly embarrassingly, named "Lad". 

Could you get more meat on a Pizza? No, no you could not! As meaty as a meat feast pizza ever was. 

With all of that meat, expect to be thirsty! A great selection of beers and wines from the bottle shop available and with free corkage to boot. I'm not always a fan of a house red, but the chianti here is delightful and great to share from the (large) carafe. 

Very much a family vibe here with the Canonbury Hipsters descending with their Kids (and often Dogs). Expect a noisy dining room......

My favorite local pizza joint for Pizza Fridays (which is ironic since it's called ... you get the picture.). Love sitting outside in the summer and enjoying a carafe of house red with their wood-fired pizza. After a few years of frequenting Sweet Thursday, I've developed a favorite ... I always order the Salsiccia, which is a delicious blend of cream, mozzarella, spicy sausage and broccoli, and my husband usually opts for the Crudo.

It's a great, low-key place for friends and family to meet (it's super child-friendly as well, which is good to know if you've got little ones!) AND they do a super scrumptious brunch on the weekends, which not too many people know about! Delicious eggs in a pan with tomatoes, olives, and basil and smashed avocado on toast. 

Though I've occasionally booked a table, I usually just turn up and they're not too busy. They do takeaway as well, though I personally think that the pizza is better enjoyed in-house.

Pizza's ar dee-lish.

A tad on the expensive side though..

Situated in a quiet Islington neighbourhood is Sweet Thursday, serving woodfired pizzas and a large selection of wines.  The pizzas are good but not amazing (we've had better at Franco Manca)  - not a destination restaurant but somewhere to try if you are in the area. However, make it your destination if you have kids and want to have a semi-peaceful meal. That's because the restaurant has a small but functional play area and the classic crayons etc (and high chairs/baby changing). Our little ones loved the 'Micky' pizzas! Adults loved the chocolate cake.

Brunch at Sweet Thursday is also pretty decent and they run special wine tasting and coffee tasting sessions which are extremely fun and informative.

My husband and I came here on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the was here. The dough balls here could murder Pizza Express' any day. We got both the nduju and Camembert dough balls, which were out of this world. We then had our large pizzas that were heavily loaded with toppings, both of us were super happy. We finished with dessert, I had a affogato and he had the tiramisu, both again were amazing and great portions. It's a bit on the pricy side, but if you download their app and pay through the app, you can get £10 off your first meal. We will definitely hit this place up again.
