Summing it all up: Massively popular local pizzeria Yard Sale continue their expansion with a fourth base in Leytonstone.

London pizzeria Yard Sale has come a long way since 2014, when they relocated operations from their back garden to their first outpost in Lower Clapton Road.

Food at Yard Sale’s fourth restaurant will be much the same as their others - so that’s cheesy, topping-laden, double fermented dough pizza, that’s also affordable enough to have netted them first place in the OFM’s Best Cheap Eats awards.

We’ve also been told you can expect more of their mad, culinary crossovers (which Yard Sale have dubbed their ‘Love Ins’), though we’re yet to see if one can reach such dizzying heights as the cheeseburger pizza creation they dreamed up with Patty & Bun.

"Yard Sale really is as far down the no-frills route a diner can go without entering ‘humanitarian food drop’ territory" Personally, I was joyful about Yard Sale Pizza.

The N16 branch is less scruffy (and a little more expensive) than the Naples original, and the pizzas are slightly different, too – the bases are thicker for a start.

4/10 Pizza Pilgrims, Soho With two restaurants in different corners of Soho, brothers James and Thom Eliot have come a long way since their days as street food traders.

5/10 Addommè, Streatham The sourdough pizzas at this teeny restaurant next to Streatham Hill station boast gloriously squidgy, salty bases and fresh full-flavoured toppings.

10/10 Sourdough Saloon, Bow Set within the Lord Morpeth pub, this eatery serves a host of traditional Neapolitan style pizzas, all made with its namesake sourdough that renders the bases exquisitely chewy, springy, salty and savoury tasting.

They knew they wanted to have their own business, and Buckland in particular had always been interested in food, and they kept coming back to how much they loved pizza, how often they ate it, and their shared nostalgia for the childhood anticipation of pizza delivery.

At that time, Tate and Buckland shared a house in Hackney, and Buckland’s father helped them build a pizza oven in their garden.

Yard Sale Pizza launched in May 2014 with the UK debut of actor Macaulay Culkin’s band The Pizza Underground.

“We didn’t want to be London’s best hipster pizza joint – but the band was coming over … We couldn’t turn down having Macaulay Culkin at the launch.”

For the pizzas with more toppings, it tends to make everything a bit “sloshy” says Buckland – “On deliveries, it would end up everywhere” – so he chose a drier mozzarella to hold the toppings in place.

If you know London only as a tourist, however briefly, you’ll have been within a whisker of this spot where chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho and front-of-house José Etura’s new place now sits.

When I think of Barragán, I’m transported back to circa-2007 and Barrafina’s tiny Frith Street original setting.

That’s the context behind camarones fritos topped with a runny fried egg; a plate that watches you with 1,000 shrimpy eyes and is available only at the bar.

Still, things cheer up once we’re seated at the dining counter proper and treading tipsily through glasses of Páramos de Nicasia 2014 and plates of pan con tomate with cecina.

But I’m less struck by the frit mariner, a puzzling plate of soft onion, aubergine and pepper with white fish and two prawns hiding sporadically in its midst and located only via autopsy.

If you’re wondering whether this is the pizza place where Macaulay Culkin’s band played, then you’d be right.

Luckily the pizza went down better than the rest of The Pizza Underground’s tour, so the crowd won’t be booing these dough pies.

And if you do want to ‘Take a Bite of the Wild Slice’ specials include pulled-pork pizza with apple sauce and crackling.

We were too scared to try that one, though: it sounds almost as ill-conceived as Culkin’s dreadful covers act.

Speaking of covers, there are only a couple of tables and most of the trade is takeaway, but the jazz-funk soundtrack and chatty staff made it a fun place to hang out on our visit.
