Four Hundred Rabbits

Really enjoyed this little pizza place… I went for one of the weekly specials on a gluten free base. I have to admit the standard base did have a better taste and texture. For desert we shared one of the locally sourced ice creams with a salted caramel brownie… It was delicious!

Four Hundred Rabbits generated a tonne of excitement around ‘The Triangle’ when they took over the site of an unsuccessful hairdressers and opened an independent sourdough pizza place! Thankfully, it lives up to the hype!
Last night, the wife and I finally visited Four Hundred Rabbits for a very impromptu pizza-​fuelled date night.
Once greeted and seated, we were served by a very attentive and friendly waitress who gave us just a minute or two to decide on our food and drink choices — a timescale that is perfect for here, because the menu isn’t the biggest! There are 4 or 5 pizzas on the menu, plus one on the specials board, (I totally ignored the salads, because anyone who goes to a new pizza place and eats a salad is wrong).
Mrs D opted for a very minimal but grown-​up version of a ‘cheese and tomato’ with basil, whilst my pizza had courgette, pine nuts and feta on it. I prefered mine, she prefered hers, but both were tasty.
Washed down with some very cool bottles of ginger ale (so rock and roll) and followed up by a gelato sundae!
Oh sorry, didn’t I tell you? THEY DO GELATO! NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!
I had bitter chocolate sorbet, hazelnut and salted caramel, with a salted caramel sauce topped with pistachios which was nice, but nothing on places like SnowFlake where all they do it gelato, and Mrs D had strawberries and cream topped with mini marshmallows.
I really hope this place stays around, because it’s very reasonably priced, and well, who doesn’t want a sourdough restaurant around the corner from their house?

New restaurant added to Crystal Palace. Do we need more? I hear you ask!!! Well this one is a pizza house but serving much more adventurous pizzas along with great craft beers/​ales.
Minimalist décor with small open kitchen area so you can spy on what they are doing.
As I sat here eating my pizza, which was very good. (I can forgive them for the slightly soggy middle), we spy Jessica Raine with husband Tom Goodman-​Hill pop in for a pizza .
Desserts is Gelato. Select your flavour/​s and how you would like it served. Cone, tub or sundae. If sundae then you can select toppings and sauces to make your own bespoke dessert. Don’t look for the usual vanilla, this does not exist. I went for salted caramel for one scoop and hazelnut for the other oh and whipped cream and some caramel sauce to top off. ‘Twas very nice and what amounted to a filling meal. Note to self, wear your ‘all you can eat too next time.‘
Staff are very friendly and check in you regularly to ensure all is ok.
They seemed a little under pressure when it started to get busy, around 7:30ish. All in all though, nice local night out.
