Vegan Capers & Olive Pizza (East London Style)

Replicate East London’s Best Pizza at Home

Ace Pizzeria is an East London gem. Their newly opened spot by Victoria Park is a must-visit, but if you’re not in London, you can easily replicate one of their signature pizzas at home.

One of our favourites is the Capers on Mare Street. Traditionally, this pizza uses anchovies, but you can easily make it without or use samphire for a vegan-friendly and cruelty free, just the way we love it. It’s a flavour-packed combination of salty, tangy, and creamy elements, perfectly balanced. Using our Casadei Foods mozzarella, Nocellara olives, capers, red onion and a drizzle of chimichurri, this pizza is fresh, vibrant, and totally moreish.
