Peak Pizza has crash-landed in Soho, slinging New York-style slices out of Stazione Novella’s kitchen for December. The menu is bold in its brevity—cheese, pepperoni, and a weekly wildcard—paired with beers and Dr Pepper with bourbon. With wobbly tables and a tip jar labelled “college fund,” it’s a pop-up as punchy as its attitude. Catch it at 52 Staunton Street before it heads for The Peak.
