Joe Public

Are you ready to tick some hipster boxes? Yes? Let's get started. Joe Public is an artisanal fast-food business (tick), in a stools-only area (tick), in a former public restroom (tickety-tick-tock)! One counter inside, one on the 'wall side' and one at the bar (sit here for extra legroom) could go on: drinks menus written on the Victorian white-tiled walls; cutlery stored in cleaned-up jars of chopped tomatoes; Joe Public IPA, its' own brand.' You get the idea.

It's a pizza establishment in the United States, and what comes out of the ovens is a 20-inch pie. Twenty inches, by the way, is enormous. It is bigger than a grown-up's arm. up's That is why you order them by the single slice: two to three are sufficient. American-style toppings include chili-flecked slivers of pepperoni, fatty fennel-spiced sausage with mushroom and caramelized leeks, and a traditional Margherita (a touch over-enthusiastic on the oregano, but generously cheesy). Because this is a US-style establishment, the bases are crunchy, thin, and crispy, so if you're looking for the special Neapolitan-style crusty-plus-chewy dough, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Joe Public will be a big success with the takeout set (there are 30 chairs outside, as well as a hatch open until midnight where you can order 'to go,' and they even blast electro-swing via speakers so you can sway while you wait). But, at only £4 or £4.50 a slice, it's an excellent steal for a sit-down lunch - albeit a brief one, suited for a quick pit-stop.
