What diners say
For someone who loves pizza, a good drink and rooftop vibes, this place is truly a hidden gem. On top of that, the staff are top notch and super friendly. The place is shutting down next april as the building is being demolished for gentrification so make your way here. Ps the DJ was mixing some great tunes as well

Great potential, but lacks flexibility in customer service I am a regular at The Bird's Nest during the day and have always praised the amazing view and welcoming atmosphere. I decided to take my daughter there for dinner on a Tuesday night, but unfortunately, the experience wasn't the best. We weren't allowed to sit near the windows on the grounds that they were all reserved. We happily accepted this policy, but the truth is, we were there from 7.40PM to 9.30 PM and those tables remained completely empty until almost closing time. I was quite disappointed because the whole point of going was to show my daughter the view. I feel the staff should have a bit more flexibility: if a reservation doesn't show up after 20 or 30 minutes, or if it's already late in the evening, they should allow the customers who are actually there to enjoy the space. Word of advice for anyone going for dinner: make a reservation even if the place looks empty, otherwise you risk staring at vacant tables all night.

One of the best margheritas I've had in London, only Zia Lucia tasted better. Straight from the oven, very hot, puffy and light, cooked to perfection, with massive amount of fior di latte, which can be a little too much, but I loved it. Top ingredients, experience and dough made this exceptionally tasty pizza. Non-alcoholic cocktail was pretty good, fresh and refreshing I was first and only customer, service wasn't fast but I didn't mind that, they were having some issue with network, and I don't think I got charged, so need to get back and rectify it. And get another pizza. And that view is yet anther reason for a visit, half of London can be seen, even Wembley stadium is visible. For some reason they'd keep it more secret and under the radar but who am I to judge. Highest recommendation from me. Edit: Visited again, this time for pepperoni pizza. It was so good, pepperoni had nice spiciness and created extra fat on pizza. Disappeared in few minutes. They also do deals for certain pizzas, only a tenner, it's a steal in 2026.

Such a great spot for pizza and tiramisu - possibly the best Neapolitan pizza in London, made with genuine ingredients. Even the tiramisu has masala wine. Loved it so much, including the great views from the roof terrace.
