Nottingham's blessed with many a magical pizza joint - and Slice 'n' Brew joins the ever-growing list...
Looking like something straight off the streets of New York City, Slice ‘n’ Brew is perhaps one of Nottingham’s most exciting new restaurants - joining the likes of Oscar and Rosie’s, Pizzamisu and Happy Dough Lucky in the ever-expanding list of the city’s pizza joints.
With a line coming out of the door the evening I arrived, I visited the new spot on a Saturday night and sat admiring the red checkerboard aesthetic before ordering my favourite cocktail of all time - an ice cold margarita, which came in a very cute can from Whitebox Cocktails.
Wanting to try everything on the menu, we decided to order the Coppa and Wild Mushroom Pizza to share, along with a baby gem salad and a burrata. Not for everyone, the former came topped with an egg yolk in the middle, which may put some eaters off. But we both really enjoyed the flavours which included bechamel sauce, pecorino, white truffle oil and chives, alongside the obvious toppings of coppa ham and mushroom. Plus, the speckled dough was just perfect.

The sides were likewise delicious - particularly the baby gem salad, which could have easily been underwhelmingly plain, but which was instead served with an incredibly flavoursome creamy dressing and the addition of almond crumb, leading to a surprisingly tasty dish. I do wish that the portion of burrata was bigger, as we received only a section of the cheese - but still, it was lovely, and the beef tomato it was served with was the perfect companion.
A really cool and sophisticated food location, Slice ‘n’ Brew is the ideal place for a date night, and though a little pricey for the portion sizes, I’d absolutely come back to try more off their menu.

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots.
