Sodo Pizza in Waltham Forest

This had been my favourite pizza place for the longest time -- we have spent so much money there over the years -- but after my partner was violently sick several hours after consuming the Wicker Man pizza (nduja, pepperoni etc), and continued to throw up throughout the night, as well as suffering high temperature and severe aches, it's rather ended my love affair with the place. When I informed the manager about what had happened, and let him know I had contacted Food Safety Waltham Forest, he said 'it's unlikely to be our kitchen' then quibbled over how long food poisoning takes to kick in. He said it wouldn't be food poisoning if it only took 2 hours. NHS England says: "Sometimes [symptoms] start after a few hours or not for a few weeks." Good to know.

Unfortunately while we have enjoyed Sodo before, tonight we received an absolutely awful delivery — food was half hot, half cold; we’d asked for extra mozzarella on our 3 Dirty Boys which definitely wasn’t added and the pizza boxes (all 3!) had obviously been turned the wrong way around so ALL the toppings had slid to the side of each box while the oil from the pizza had bled across the box. We were really hungry from a day of moving so we ate the pizzas but this was not at all a decent nor tasty meal and we were actually quite horrified that we spent around £42 for such a mix up.

Great service, great pizza, great wine. Felt lucky as had not booked. There was a good amount of vegetarian options to choose from.

Sodo pizza is great. Yummy pizza. Good drinks and salad. The service was good and the atmosphere was fun yet romantic. Highly recommend.

Hidden gem. Found this place by coincidence. Great pizzas, good wine, excellent service, cozy atmosphere, and decent prices. Well worth a visit if in Walthamstow.

We had a delicious experience at SoDo in Walthamstow. The pickled cucumbers are a must! We followed with the pigs might fly special and the 5 mushroom pizza. The crusts were thin, the toppings brilliant and the cooking near perfect - the service was sub par but the servers were individually helpful and cheerful they just had to be prodded. The philosophy was not so much read the room and anticipate a customers needs as wait until they jump up and down, wave at us and tell us what they want. If the service was better it would have been 5 stars.

Great choice of vegetarian pizza options and interesting sides including a wonderful pickled cucumber. Great service and chilled out atmosphere

If there were negative points I would have chosen them! I ordered 3 pizzas from Sodo Bethnal Green at roughly 1925 hrs from their website and not trough uber eats. They charged me £49.77 (including £2.99 service charge??? for delivery and £1.99 for the delivery itself((that’s ok)). Initially was showing 1955 hrs delivery time, then it went 2005, then 2015, then 2025 then 2035 hrs. When I called the establishment I was told that it was Uber fault and not the pizzeria which was kinda bizarre. I was told by the staff on the phone that there’s no driver coming to pick up my order and that’s why it was late. I was also offered that they will make my order again before they send it out which I knew was absolutely porky pies. When my order eventually arrived the pizzas were stone cold (they could at least rewamed them before sending them out. Disappointed is very mildly said how I feel about the customer service of this place. There will be no more orders by me from this place.

Great pizza, one of the best I’ve had. Also the burrata is amazing. Service is t amazing and a bit slow but the pizza keeps bring me back

Arrived here without a reservation and although the place was busy the helpful staff managed to squeeze us in. Atmosphere in the old converted warehouse is good and service was friendly, they even suggested we took our inquisitive three year old grandson to see the chef preparing food. Pizzas were delicious, authentic base and great toppings, they even swapped some for us to suit our tastes. We thought prices were reasonable and wines were a decent quality, will definitely return.

I have visited Sodo Pizza on many occasions and it does not disappoint. I have been with friends, family, groups and date nights with my partner. I or my fellow diners have eaten practically everything on the menu over the year, and yet to hear anything but positive reviews. You HAVE to try the pickled cucumbers, and the Jon Bon Chovy is my favourite pizza. There is also an excellent selection of drinks, Keller Lager always goes down well.

Great pizza but the extremely rude and dismissive customer service prevents me from wanting to come back. They literally hate the customers and it shows. There is no effort to be of help, barely acknowledged our order, no please or thank you or welcome. Either this bunch are very underpaid or they need serious training or a job change. One of the rudest service I have even encountered, unfortunately.

Solid pizza menu and interesting wine list. The chilli jam on the pizza was too sweet, be warned. And when full they could do with more serving staff.

We have been customers for many years and have eaten in as well as ordered for delivery. While we love the pizza and it's the best around in my opinion, sadly, it has become impossible to order for delivery on Saturday nights. Please get this sorted!

We were a group of six - five of us vegan - and we were disappointed by the limited choice of vegan pizza. In fact, there was only one - Isle of Lucy - which was spoiled by the pickled tomatoes on top. The sourdough base was delicious but we'd have loved different toppings!

Food excellent made on premises. All staff were welcoming and efficient would definitely recommend. We also had desert which was as enjoyable.

Went for dinner with friends, had a couple of starters to share and then the pizza, everything tasted very good, friendly service and cool place, I’ll definitely be back

Superb sourdough pizzas. I have only ever ordered takeaway but the staff are really friendly and the restaurant looks lovely. The pizzas are incredible and cooked perfectly every time. The Wicker Man is a must try - who knew honey on pizza tasted so good!

Clean, rustic, very cosy atmosphere, with wooden chairs and tables and old school candles in a bottle, to decorate and lighten the table. All staff is young and smiling, customer service was simply outstanding. Pizza is sourdough, thin with a tasty crust, easily digestible and...

we visited here whilst visiting family so were recommended to visit. not your traditional pizza resteraunt. rather an unusual menu. at first i was hesitant and didnt fancy anything on the menu but actually loved it once it arrived. ordered the wicker man. very nice....

I am not a fan of sourdough pizza, but it's the latest pizza fashion and my friends followed the trend. The pizza is nice, but I was disappointed about the limited menu. Good pizza, but not my taste. To be fair, above average for sure.

Fabulous Wicker Man pizza - very highly recommended. Perhaps the best pizza I have ever eaten! Great decor. Helpful staff.

Love this place. Went with my sons and we had a great evening. Shared starters, great pizza, one special, two Wiker Man and then dessert. All washed down with cans of local beer. What could go wrong, nothing! Will be back on my next visit.

2 of us ate here for lunch. We didn't have a booking but we were soon greeted and seated by a friendly, relaxed waiter. The selection of pizza on the menu was original and interesting and it was difficult to make up my mind- even...

Went the eat at Sodo during the Eat Out to Help Out scheme. My partner recommended this one since he’s been to other branches. We were greater by a member of staff and had a short wait, which was normal, considering how busy everywhere was....

Delicious pizza as always. I wouldn’t recommend getting the wicker man crossed with the summer heights that was my mistake. Stick to one or the other! Both great though.

Great Neapolitan sourdough pizza! Amazing dough and sauce. Proper proofing and hydration of the pizza dough. I usually get the Margherita or one of their specials. Great quality ingredients and their cocktails are also worth it! I also appreciate the staff they make me feel...

Visited last night with a friend for dinner. I had suggested we go there based on previous good visits. We ordered wine and the waitress came back, dumped the bottle and glasses on the table and walked off. Didn't even say 'here's your wine, are...

Have visited Sodo Pizza in Walthamstow several times since moving to the area but will not be going back after an experience there last week. After a long and stressful day my partner and I decided to grab a pizza from there as it was...

I've been here a few times, always enjoying the food and the service. Almost as good as pizza served in Italy, and so cheap.

Recently moved to walthamstow and friends were raving about sodo pizza. Good Pizza, not amazing. Not bad service aswell. Will probably come back.

Really nice place. Lovely for lunch. Unusual and very tasty pizzas. Good service and reasonably priced.

We went here, because we were looking for somewhere not too far from the William Morris Gallery, and rejected Le Delice, which had a lovely menu, but no licence, and we wanted some alcohol to celebrate our friend's birthday. We then ended up chatting to...

Best sourdough pizza. Diversified menu with amazing options. Difficult to choose! It’s always busy! It’s best to book in advance.

We ate here with the family twice during a two week vacation. The pizza is amazing and the restaurant just has a fun local flair. Highly recommend it.

The staff were attentive and very accommodating. The ambience was buzzing and the food didn’t disappoint. The wine prices are abit pricey as expected. I have become a fan since my first visit and now I’ve found myself raving about this place to anyone who...

Visited with friends on Saturday gone for brunch. I opted for the Wickerman Pizza which was incredible. So tasty and full of flavour not to mention very generous portion sizes. It was difficult to finish it however It was so nice I didn't want to...

As a former resident of Walthamstow I was constantly being reminded by my E17 resident mates of what I was missing and this place was always being raved about, so I went along on Saturday and tried it out. It is over rated! The pizza...

First time here and it won't be the last one! We started with a tomato salad with sourdough bread, delicious! We then have two different pizzas, two vegetarian ones. The pizza base was thin and crusty, and the pizza in general full of flavours. Easily...

Stellar pizza, crunchy thin base with excellent toppings. They serve craft beer and have original specials... just a fantastic place to eat and have an evening with friends or as a couple

We visited her again on a Sunday afternoon. It is always worth booking as the restaurant is very popular and always busy. I chose the goats cheese pizza it was great, very tasty and a good size portion. The team ate friendly and helpful, a...

I almost never feel like pizza, but we went here on a friend’s rec. the food was great - fresh, tasty, and the server helped us choose things that fit our appetite. Great service.

Pizzaların hamuru incecik ve beyaz un değil. İki tür pizza aldık ikisinde çok lezzetliydi. Özellikle hamuru çok güzel .Çok lezzetli....

Great staff.. nice atmosphere.. pizza were delicious...could of done with a few more topping options though..

Just a brilliant place - lucky to have it in Walthamstow. The pizzas really are exceptional, I recently visited a competitor in central London and Sodo beat them, easy.

Beautiful restaurant, bangin' pizzas and well priced. Food aside, the energy of Sodo's dancing chef was felt through our pizza- he definitely made our meal. So important for a venue to have welcoming staff like this. Would definitely return and recommend to others.

The pizza menu has a great selection of classics and interesting flavours. I came here on a Friday night without a booking and they did their best to get us a table straight away. The place was busy but a nice atmosphere. I ordered the...

Pizza is tasty, dough is half soft and half crunchy I would say , as I like . We took two different ones and a green salad with superb unusual variety of green leaves. When it comes to the feedback on the toppings, I added...

We are spoiled for choice in this area but Sodo edges out Yardsale, more generous toppings, slightly more thoughtfully chosen & prepared and at a tiny bit better price. Sodo wins, so sooooo good.

Went here with 2 friends last Saturday. Really enjoyed the pizza and atmosphere. I'd say that was in the top 5 pizzas i've ever had - I had the vegan one (Mary Jane) with chimmichurri and added Mozarella. It was delicious. Friends had the Dirty...

Dopo tre giorni alla disperata ricerca di un locale decente dove mangiare qualcosa di non fritto abbiamo trovato questo Grazioso...

We have slowly been testing the restaurants of Walthamstow and this was the best experience so far. Really enjoyed the pizza, wine and atmosphere. The bill was very reasonable too so we will be back!

What a great little hidden Gem!! We have had one of the best eating out experiences here tonight, thanks to the amazing evening provided to us by Ben!! Thanks for your recommendations!! The food has been great from starters to desserts!! We will be back...

Ok, so it's a little bit rough around the edges but i think that's probably just Walthamstow hipster chic... What's important is that the food, service and value are great. I had the Morrisey pizza for £10. Compare this with a pizza from one of...

We love the food and atmosphere here so decided to risk going there with twenty guests. We were served by Gabriella who managed to keep everything flowing with ease entirely on her own. Amazing service, great food and drink and a perfect atmosphere made a...

I came to this restaurant with my family Decore was a bit tired was serve tap water in a bottle that was not clean the cutlery was greesy in polished and had to send back the wine glass as it was unclean too. When ordering...

We managed to get a table for Sunday lunch as walk-ins. Only when we had finished the meal did we realise how lucky we were. There were 4 of us and a baby. Everything ran very smoothly. Service was efficient and the pizzas we all...

We have been to Sodo a couple of times and thought it would be good for a family get together. The service was great and all of our pizzas were delicious. Great atmosphere and everyone was happy. Result!

The pizza, atmosphere and prices are simply awesome. Hab the winter goat pizza and an a nice beer! Nothing to add...

Simply delightful. Rustic and cosy decor, fantastic staff and delicious food. Also, thankfully off the beaten track Well done indeed Highly recommended!!

My favourite pizza restaurant by an absolute mile... Eaten here quite a few times and never had a bad meal. Personally not fussy on the drinks menu, which feels a bit like they’re trying too hard to be hip, but the food more than makes...

Family party of six. Great choice of pizza,, good for vegetarian and vegan choices. Elderly relatives also loved the atmosphere and menu choices. Loved the vibe and decor. Staff helpful and good service. Great choice of drinks. Will definitely return.

Gestito da ragazzi italiani, rumeni, americani, africani. Insomma bello ospitale, la pizza è buona, anche il caffè. Ci ritornerò!!

First time visit to enjoy a yummy dinner and were very lucky to have nice seats at the Bar even though we had not booked. I had a vegan pizza - "Isle of Lucy" and my friend enjoyed his one with a sprinkling of English...

Sodo pizza is found down a side alley by an old cinema. The pizzas are great and have tasty but unfamiliar toppings.

What a great little place! My girlfriend just loved the interior and the atmosphere, pizza was super tasty and fresh. 10/10 would recommend. Ciao

La miglior pizza mai mangiata a Londra, dessert molto buoni (consiglio il brownie, servito con caramello) e personale fantastico! Disponibili...

I was visiting Sodo Pizza last Saturday and it was absolutely incredible. Pizzas were tasty; full of fresh ingredients and incredible cheese. We were drinking first time in our life still cider...and trust me we needed exactly this alcohol on Saturday! Served with the cold...

The best thing about Sodo is the pizza. They are delicious and great value for money. Walthamstow has a plethora of pizzarias and this up with the best. The staff have always been helpful, friendly and attentive. The venue is tucked around the back of...

Amazing food and service! Visited a few times with friends and always had good experience. Definitely recommend.

This place serves great food at good value-for-money with a fun and joyful attitude. Sodo's strength is, as the name implies, the sourdough of its pizza. It never fails! The specials can at times be a bit experimental, but the menu rocks. Things to try:...

Great service and food, really authentic pizza 🍕 loved it! Me and my friends will be back for sure, can’t wait to have your pizza again, thanks!

I've had the pleasure of eating a pizza all over the world. This place tops them all. Great ingredients, delicious flavours and just the most amazing atmosphere. Great place, go down there if you can.

Excellent meal recently lovely tasty freshly made pizza ,great service and excellent chocolate brownie and ice cream. Would recommend.

Pizzaları ince hamurlu çok güzel ve burratası da güzel ancak kalabalık saatlerde servis yavaş ama gene de öneririm ...

It s the second time i went there. Today i was with a friend and we went in the afternoon to get a coffee and chat. The waiters are very warm and we stayed outside as the weather was nice. We enjoyed the atmosphere so...

If this pizza parlour were located in most other places, it would be knock-out good. Unfortunately, it is nestled in an area that is fast becoming saturated with sourdough bases topped with artisanale delicacies. It is not as vegan friendly or as hip as nearby...

Visited Wednesday at lunch time. Very quiet, only 2 other tables occupied. Quirky little hidden pizza joint that I would never have known was there had I not have looked on Trip-adviser for places to eat in Walthamstow. We ordered a margarita £7.00 and an...

The food is amazing. Such good quality ingredients. They have a great range of drinks. and the staff are the friendliest in London.

Got a mozerella ball and olives for starter which was very fresh, followed by a Mary Jane (vegan) pizza. Nice and light but also tasty. I recommend their ginger ale. Waiter was also bubbly and gave great service. Music selection they play is also interesting...

Tried to book over the phone but a 2 hour wait - chanced it at the door and managed to get a seat outside (there is also the option of sitting at the bar). Service was excellent very friendly and efficient (they were obviously super...

Fresh doughy pizza, with incredible varied choice of toppings! I absolutely loved the anchovy garlic bread!!!! Oooh I will sooo be back! ;-)

We found the service friendly and helpful. They let me taste a couple of white wines to decide what I wanted. Pizzas were delicious, with crispy bases [but not hard] and lots of topping. Would definitely recommend.

I come here regularly particularly to collect a takeaway pizza on a Thursday evening for my weekly visit to my daughter son in law and two small grandsons and frankly the pizzas are the best. I’ve made a rod for my own back cos they...

Arrived at Sodo on a Saturday evening with my partner. Greeted at the door, sat down immediately and gave our drinks orders (great small batch lager an ales available). Garlic breads with mozzarella was great to start. Then had 2 pizzas, one with sliced meats...

Ate at the Walthamstow branch on a Sunday evening, was a good bustle about the place and managed to get a table straight away despite lots booked out. Special pizza ft. salami/fennel/potato/blue cheese, was top notch along with nduja garlic bread. Reasonably priced although wine...

Wonderful baked eggs - great veggie option! I managed to sneak a slice of the breakfast pizza too (from my boyfriend!) - that was delicious too! Great Latte - no option for skinny (not sure if they had ran out of milk!). Overall great weekend...

Visited Sodo quite a few times since moving to Walthamstow and it's been amazing every time. The pizza is first class. They also source local beers and sell them for a reasonable price - love it.

The pizzas were excellent and the waiters very nice and professional. The tomato sauce on the pizza was perfect with a nice taste of basil. The crust very very nice. Overall the pizza felt very light. We did not expect it to be so good....

Lugar rústico con ambiente muy ameno y agradable tanto para ir en familia, con unos amigos o en pareja. Pizza...

Our daughter and partner go here regularly and I'm not surprised. I just wish that this was our local pizza joint too as the pizzas are the best we've tasted in the UK! Their brunch pizza was a delicious and unusual combination of light sourdough...

Food here is AMAZING and so is the service and atmosphere. It’s not only our favourite local pizza place but by far the best in London. We have been here several times and have always had a fantastic evening. The best part is the quality...

Love this place, take my eldest ( six) here for big treat, he loves their pizza staring it's the 'best' he's ever had.. mostly we keep it simple with margarita and salad , but have tried others including fab one with anchovies , staff are...

I'm not a huge pizza fan so wasn't that bothered if we ate here or not - my daughter and son in law have eaten at Sodo before and loved it so we were just decided to go with the flow . The restaurant is...

Since we moved to Walthamstow 18 months ago, we must have visited Sodo five or six times. The menu is small, but perfectly formed, with a selection of starters, about six pizzas (with a couple of specials each night) and some desserts. There's a real...

My boyfriend absolutely adore this place. I think if I agree to it he would eat in Sodo every night! I am impressed how this place got transformed into something so popular and useful. I remember this building looking scary and neglected. We need more...

My favourite eatery in Walthamstow, this chilled place with excellent quality & tasty food always hits the spot.

We come here all the time, its so good! Delicious pizza with a good range of toppings and specials, tasty starters e.g. buratta, good cocktails and wine and great service. The pizza base is so tasty!!! Great value.

Great place for sourdough pizza and a buzzy atmosphere. Came here in a group of six for a late night pizza. The place was still heaving late Friday night but we managed to get a table after a little wait. The pizzas are super tasty...

All I'm saying is that the people who work here are by the coolest, most lovely guys. Attention to detail on wine menu and went extra mile in accommodating us. Oh and the pizza is pretty awesome too
