About This Pub

Ah, True Craft Walthamstow – what a treat it is! I've got to say, diving into their sourdough pizzas feels like a proper hug for your taste buds; they're crafted with such care, using fresh British ingredients and that extended fermentation process that really sets them apart. Paired with their impressive lineup of craft beers, it's easy to see why folks rave about it – whether you're sipping on something local or trying an up-and-coming brew, it's all about that authentic, community vibe. The place itself is just so inviting, with a cosy atmosphere that makes you want to linger a bit longer, and the team behind the bar are always smiling and ready to chat, which adds to the charm. On the flip side, it's pretty focused on pizza and drinks, so if you're in the mood for a more varied meal, you might end up wishing for more options. And let's be honest, if you're not already in the neighbourhood, it could take a bit of effort to get there, but once you do, I reckon you'll be glad you made the trip. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed get-together, and with those glowing reviews, it's clear it's hitting the mark for most who pop in.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The sourdough pizzas are an absolute delight – they're handmade with fresh, top-notch ingredients and that 48-hour fermentation makes them lighter and full of flavour, perfect for a satisfying meal.
  • They've got a cracking selection of craft beers, championing local London breweries and beyond, with rotating taps that keep things fresh and exciting.
  • The atmosphere is just lovely – cosy and warm, ideal for catching up with mates or enjoying a family night out without any fuss.
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and efficient, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's a versatile spot, great for everything from a quick bite to a relaxed evening, and they've got options for veggies and vegans too.
Cons
  • It's mainly all about pizza and beer, so if you're after a wider menu with other dishes, you might find it a bit limited.
  • Being in Walthamstow, it could be a trek if you're not local, though it's worth the journey if you're a fan of the area.

Just the best pizza place in Walthamstow (and there is pretty hefty competition!). Delicious, perfectly cooked sourdough pizzas with some inventive toppings plus a couple of veggie/vegan ones to keep everyone happy. Great selection of ales and beer, too. Love the ambiance which is low key, cosy but quite elegant, given that it's a pizza place! Adore.

True Craft offers incredibly delicious pizzas, made with great attention to detail and a true artisan touch. The service is quick and efficient, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and always smiling. The atmosphere is cozy and warm, making you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. I love that there’s no need for reservations — you just walk in and sit wherever there’s a free spot, adding to the relaxed and welcoming vibe. The customers also contribute to the pleasant energy of the place. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for tasty food and a great experience!

Amazing place with perfect pizza and nice beer. Very impressed with the vibe of the place. It is perfect to have a beer with friends and at the same time as perfect to eat a good quality pizza with family. It definitely is up there with the best pizzas i’ve ever had. Go try it out, you won’t be disappointed 👍 Pizza was so good that I even forgot to take a picture with it at the beginning. So I only have the last slice 😁🍻
