Lenny's, a pizza spot previously operating as a pop-up in Finsbury Park, is returning to London with a permanent restaurant. The new site is scheduled to open in Covent Garden this autumn.
Founder Max Lewis is partnering with MJMK Restaurants, known for establishments such as KOL and Casa do Frango, for this new project. Lewis stated that Lenny's began as a tribute to New Haven apizza and its culture, aiming to introduce this style of pizza and its associated stories to London.
West Ham: Staveley consortium in talks for 25% stake
Discussions are progressing for a consortium led by Amanda Staveley to acquire Vanessa Gold's shares.
New Haven apizza originated with Italian immigrants in Connecticut, with notable pizzerias like Frank Pepe's Pizzeria, established in 1925, recognised for their coal-fired cooking and distinctive oblong shapes.
Time Out London previously described Lenny's pizza from its Finsbury Park residency as having a base that was 'crispy and chewy with a proper, loud bite.' The publication noted its charred crust and salty, slightly oily character.
The forthcoming menu will include the established tomato pie. Additionally, a hybrid 'Lenny' pizza will be offered, a 14-inch pie topped with tomato, garlic, and pecorino on one half, and mozzarella on the other. Further menu details are expected closer to the opening date.
Hillingdon Council opposes Mayor's housing plan
The council argues the draft plan disproportionately targets the borough's green spaces for development.
Jake Kasumov, co-founder of MJMK Restaurants, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. He recalled trying Lewis's pizza 18 months prior at a north London pub residency, describing it as the pizza they had long sought. Kasumov added that getting to know Lewis solidified the collaboration.
