"We’re really proud he chose leaven and even prouder he had such a great time.”

Leaven Pizza, part of the A Rule of Tum restaurant group, opened last May. 

Previously, it operated as a pop-up in the Yard off Aubrey Street from 2021 to 2022, behind the Bookshop and  Burger Shop restaurants. Known for daily fresh sourdough pizzas, the restaurant's casual vibe echoes the comfort of home dining.

You don't have to book to go in the restaurant; however, reservations are accepted for those who prefer planning. The menu offers classic pizzas starting at £7.50, along with a variety of classic cocktails, birra, and gelato.
