Pizza East

About

Pizza East is a pizza takeaway at 135 Gordon Road, Ilford, IG1 2XT, a few minutes' walk east of Ilford station, and its food hygiene rating is the thing worth knowing before ordering: 2 out of 5, "improvement necessary", from an inspection by Redbridge Council on 2 October 2025. The scheme works on penalty points, where lower is better, and the three published component scores explain where the marks went: 10 for hygienic food handling, 15 for the cleanliness and condition of the premises, and 10 for confidence in management, 35 points in total. The 15 for the structure of the premises is the highest score any business can carry and still be rated 2 rather than 1, so the building itself, not the cooking, is what holds this rating down. Third-party listings give the opening times as 11am to 9pm daily and the phone as 020 8514 1035; the shop publishes nothing of its own, and at least one aggregator has it marked as closed, so ring before setting off.
