The dough is what really makes a Sodo pizza stand out - the sourdough base is made using flour from heritage grains and is fermented for 72 hours to make it light and digestible. But the toppings are no afterthought, with the team sourcing ingredients from local producers, including mozzarella and burrata made in Acton, pepperoni and nduja cured in Islington, honey from Walthamstow and leaves from a salad farm in Dagenham.
In that regard, we have some good news: a new Saturday market has launched in Bethnal Green, east London, with six stalls selling an array of artsy goods. The market is hosted in front of legendary cafe E Pellicci on Bethnal Green Road, and it's the result of a project by E Pellicci, the East End Trades Guild, Oxford House and Newmans Stationary. It was crowdfunded by the century-old cafe and locals, who raised over £9,000 to kickstart the market.
E. Pellicci, Oxford House, Newmans Stationery, and East End Trades Guild have teamed up to bring a brand new weekly market to Bethnal Green this winter. Running every Saturday from 1st November - 20th December, the intergenerational and female-founded market will feature local artists, crafters and makers, including vintage fashion from Bethnal Queens, ceramics from Ceramasistas, miniatures from Fine Art and Fancy Things, and candles from Control & Chaos. If you're doing some Christmas shopping in east London, make sure to swing by.
