Cornerstone – Pizza – Nottingham (Sherwood)
It’s an fascinating time for Sherwood with Ginza closing and La Capanna altering palms although in reality these are the type of place I’ve visited little over the previous couple of years. The brand new wave of institutions have been fairly profitable although with the likes of; Pistachio, Rikki Rakkas, Kraftwerks and Rikshaw reinvigorating the meals scene. Cornerstone itself isn’t new and has been going for a while, initially within the unit the place The Winchester now’s, however now on Mansfield Highway itself. It’s a type of spots you could possibly simply stroll previous with little to no signage and a impartial exterior. This aesthetic carries over to the within with some hipster, espresso store pine vibes and seating for 20-odd folks that finally ends up being extra snug than it seems to be. One different notable factor is that they don’t have a license so there may be alternative to convey you personal drinks. Which, when you will have a number of good wine at residence like me, is a fairly interesting proposition.

Their menu is equally interesting, it’s dimension mirroring the environment by being compact and uncomplicated. 8 pizzas at between £9-14 and a pair of sides at £7. At this scale my rooster and roasted crimson pepper quantity arrived in good time, I’d gone for a BBQ pizza which is a little bit of a responsible pleasure and one thing you not often see at a ‘critical’ pizza restaurant. I loved their take it on with a standard tomato base however a drizzle of deeply flavoured sauce throughout the highest, the perfect of each worlds. The toppings had been beneficiant and all complimentary, I significantly loved the standard and sweetness of the crimson pepper. The bottom was slightly completely different to some other of Nottingham’s pizza providing, puffy and bubbled however significantly crispy, not my favorite model however I might recognize the standard. A facet of candy potato with a soy and ginger glaze and sriracha mayo surpassed my expectations. Meltingly tender and packing an actual punch from the Asian flavours.
Cornerstone may by no means be my primary pizza in Nottingham, their model is simply not aligned to my absolute favorite Neapolitan love. Regardless of that I couldn’t suggest them extremely sufficient and if I used to be extra native to Sherwood it could be a wonderful neighbourhood venue I’d go to usually.
