Pizza Nerds Peckham

Walk into Pizza Nerds and you immediately clock it's run by people who actually care about pizza—the sort who've obsessed over fermentation times and flour origins rather than just slinging bases out. You're in Peckham's best stretch of Bellenden Road, surrounded by independent shops and proper local energy, and this place fits right in. The pizzas are wood-fired, the crust has actual character (it's chewy, it's got proper char, it's not just dressed-up bread), and they're not afraid to do interesting things with toppings without losing sight of what makes pizza work. Worth a trip whether you're a genuine pizza obsessive or just someone who's tired of the middling stuff.
