The Tiny Italian

London / Places to eat

My Pixxa – Roman Pizza, Aldgate East, London

On Whitechapel road, two minutes from Aldgate East tube station, is My Pixxa, one of my latest discoveries. I literally fell in love with this pizza place and couldn’t wait to rave about it to you guys.

Most of you are probably more familiar with the famous Neapolitan classic round Italian pizza. It has become common to find a pizza restaurant on most busy London streets offering the Neapolitan version

However, these guys do it differently. They do it the Roman style – PIZZA AL TAGLIO – pizza by the slice. The idea is that due to our busy lives in London, offering good quality pizza by the slice allows customers to enjoy this Italian street food classic on the go. In other words, pizza by the slice gives you the opportunity to try a number of different toppings not just one – WINNING.

I have to be honest, before my visit at Pixxa I didn’t realise that there were differences between Roman and Neapolitan pizza. But there is! Roman pizza dough is made with more water, therefore making it possible to re-heat without the crust getting too dry. Plus, traditionally Roman dough is leavened up to 48 hours and the guys at Pixxa use a special mix including soya flour and sunflower oil making the crust lighter, crispier and easier to digest. Tick, tick and tick.

My pixie

Years back, Pixxa owner Simone, spent time with his famous pizza chef uncle in Rome. He then went on to research how pizza places were being run in the Italian capital city. He then brought back a wealth of knowledge and combined with his careers experience in hospitality, he created his Pixxa vision in London. The first opening was back in 2010 in Farringdon, with their second in Aldgate east 2015 and I think he has done an amazing job.

There is a great atmosphere at Pixxa; open, lively, busy. Towards the end of the month, they have an evening where you can eat as much pizza as you like for £8.50, giving you the ultimate pizza party. It’s literally the best. Me and my bestie Marie got really excited and ordered as many as we physically could eat. We didn’t order the same thing twice to ensure we had the best experience. Our favourites include.

Margarita – Classic tomato & mozzarella

Vegan pizza – artichoke and peppers

Potato and Rosemary

Diavola – Spicy salame

Capricciosa- Ham, mushrooms and artichokes

My Pixxa

To end the night, I totally recommend not leaving without having a slice of the nutella pizza. Yes, you read that right. NUTELLA PIZZA. Lovely light thin pizza crust with thick layer of hot nutella. Its taking food naughtiness to the next level and beyond. I just wanted to rub it all over my whole face; it was so good.


As well as the delicious food, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of Italian customers queuing up for pizza. It was like their presence gave the pizza an Italians seal of approval and as some if you may know, Italians are renowned to be super critical when it comes to food. So this assured me that I knew I was on to a good thing. The atmosphere and vibe is also fun and the staff are genuinely lovely.  If you can’t make the pizza party at the end of the month, at about £3 a slice of pizza you can’t go wrong.

I don’t write many reviews, as I only ever choose to write about a place I know I will visit frequently. Pixxa is definitely one of those places. I can’t rave enough how good the pizza is here. The crust is so beautifully light, crispy, delicious. With the wide selection of toppings available (including vegan and gluten free options), and the positive vibes, I can guarantee that anyone can create their ultimate mix and match PIXXA party here in London

Cooking can calm your mind.  However for some cooking can be so stressful and l may actively avoid it as it feels too much to do after a long busy day.  However over the years I have practised fun mindful cooking. Yes I did say Fun. 😂💃🏻  It takes time but it’s all about changing your mindset and attitude when it comes to cooking. Plus there are some practises that can help to calm your mind down and reduce the stress cooking can cause you.   Instead of feeling like a chore it can help you  relax after a long busy day. It can help you focus on something else and forget about everything you have had to deal with that day. Plus you get to reward yourself with a delicious meal cooked with love. It’s the best feeling after a crazy busy day.  Working on something fun and helpful for you, but if you currently find cooking difficult or stressful would you mind sharing in the comment lor Dm me what is the main thing that makes it difficult for you. And I’ll take that into consideration when putting my new project together.  We will get this nation with love and your input will help make that change.   #selfcaretip #cookinglove #mindfulcooking #selfcarecooking #wellnesslifestyle #busymomlife #businessownerlife #eatbetterfeelbetter #cookwithlove #cookingteacher #selfcareeveryday #selfcarehacks #selflovematters #mindfulnessmatters

LETS GET THE NATION COOKING WITH LOVE.   My mission is to help this nation of busy people to slow down where possible. Help transform their cooking relationship so that they can embrace the joys of mindful  home cooking as an easy accessible fun source of self care.  From personal experience when you’re busy running your own business or your job is a priority for you it can be difficult to make time for yourself.  Whatever your body and mind needs.  Unfortunately that doesn’t get you anywhere good. You just get into a deeper hole of ‘I don’t have time’ or ‘that won’t make a difference really’ or ‘I can’t make time for myself’. Cooking food becomes harder. You start to resent it, stresses you out and bring bouts of overwhelm.   I know because I was that person. On many occasions. When I worked in a corporate environment and when trying to build my own business. It’s easy to forget what’s more important and that’s your happiness, health and joy.   There are so many waysto bring wellness into your life, but cooking is what really changed my life and I’m here to help you too if you want to easily translate your love of food at home. Lose your unhealthy emotions with cooking and instead create a positive fun relationship.  This post is filled with recipes to hopefully inspire you to want to cook a meal that makes you feel good this coming week. I know it can’t be easy every day but making a small step in the right direction makes all the difference to how you feel.

SAVE FOR LATER - A lighter white sauce.   Self care cooking can come in different guises and if your body and mind are telling you that you may need to inject a little health in your life, then I always recommend listening to it as that’s the only way we can start taking the steps needed to bring a little love and self care into your lives. And when we change our mindset about what cooking can bring to our lives that’s where we start to transform your relationship with it. Health, and comfort are two of pillars when it comes to my self care cooking. I have learnt that eating healthy doesn’t mean you have to deprive yourself of comfort so these always go hand in hand in my meals.  I have found this tip useful when I’m looking for that creamy comfort we get in lasagnas, pasta or veggies bakes. The stock replaces the milk making a lighter healthier version.
