Really good pizza, both standard and not-so-much (breakfast pizza was amazing). Good selection and price on wines by the glass. read more

Meh, not bad, not amazing either - we ordered takeaway and got solid pizza at normal prices . Definately good if you don't want to look through all of Deliveroo for 30 minutes and live close by. read more

Le Cochonnet - Takeout Pizza! Giuletta and 4 Formaggi - British Near Me - London, XGL

This place is a popular get together with amazing pizzas and Italian. I enjoyed a delicious vodka and lemonade with two pizzas I shared. It is hard to get ahold of the staff to order during the busy times but I lovers the cheesy, fresh and thin crispy pizzas. The pasta menu looked good but limited. No Alfredo on it, which sounded good to me but I loved the pizza. We tried the tiramisu and banoffee and oh my gosh! They were amazing! The tiramisu was more cream than cake which I loved! The banoffee was like a banana coffee cake. That was phenomenal. This place would get 5 stars if the service was more attentive. read more

I love this place, tucked away, off Elgin Avenue. It's an established local eatery that has all the things you want in a neighborhood hang out (almost, no beer on draught). Although it is always lively and busy you can usually get a table. The service can be erratic, but is normally friendly and prompt. There is a huge selection of pizzas and pastas to chose from at more than reasonable prices. They serve pizzas, just the way I like them, with a nice thin base. I epecially like the Classico, with Italian Prosciutto, Buffalo Mozzarella, Fresh Basil and Tomato. They also do a great garlic crust. As said earlier, it has a reall neighbourhood buzz. If you live locally, you will probably see someone you know when you visit. Even if you're not a local, you will not feel uncomfortable, as it has a genuine welcoming atmosphere. It's also a great place to just have a beer or wine with friends. In the Summer, they have ample outdoor seating. I like a beer with my pizza, so my only downer, is they do not serve draught beer, only bottled. But the pizzas are so good, this shortfall is easy to forgive. read more

Le Cochonnet - They do really good pizzas. - British Near Me - London, XGL

This place came highly recommended, and smells delicious every time you pass. Plus it's always busy, which I had assumed to be a good sign. Now, I have NO IDEA what that's the case. I should have known how the evening would go when I walked in, and we were ignored for a good few minutes, even though we were standing directly in front of three waiters. I don't expect to be seated immediately, but acknowledgement would be nice! We sat down ( on a wobbly table no less), but still I reserved judgement. I look to my left and realised that the pizzas were HUGE. 13 inched to be precise. I picked my favourite - an American Hot - from the laminated plastic menu. Eventually, a waitress came over, but looked distinctly bored - and couldn't really be bothered to look us in the face. Judging by the sheer amount of time it had taken for her to come over, I'd already worked out that customer service wasn't this restaurant's forte. But never mind - for amazing food - I'm prepared to take a hit. Our mixed olives came out first (which were fairly average), with the wine. Even though we were only given diddy little white wine glasses, it was lovely. We asked for water, only to be told that they had 'run out of jugs' - but would look. Then our pizza. Mine was so big I could barely eat it as the plate was too small (no leverage you see). Instead of the spicy treat I was expecting, I was basically served up a pile of cheese on top of an ultra thin base - and it was utterly tasteless. I was so hungry I ate it, but the pepperoni was of poor quality, I could barely taste the jalapenos - and the chili sprinkle I was promised was no where to be seen. I watched the people around me all poke at their food with unimpressed faces. Seems most were a little disappointed. Then to pay the bill. At first they couldn't work out which table corresponded with our order. Then they added automatic service. For the sake of getting out of there, we paid and left in a hurry. I'll never be going back. Oh, and our water never arrived - and the food made us both feel ill for next 14 hours. Never. Again. read more

We visited Maida Vale from the U.S. this week for the first time and this restaurant was next door to us, so we ate there several times. Overall, it has delicious pizza and very poor service. The rest of the food is about two notches above a diner. Here is a bit more detail on each aspect: Atmosphere - This may be the busiest spot we came across in Maida Vale. It can get quite loud on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. The crowd is a nice mix of the older couples, families, and thirty-somethings that seem to make up Maida Vale's population. Overall you feel like you're part of the scene while eating there. One random note: I found the chairs a bit hard and uncomfortable, but most people probably wouldn't notice. Food - If you come for the pizza, you will not be disappointed. It is a scrumptious thin crust pie with sweet tomato sauce and mouth-watering cheese. The rest of the food is blah. Not bad, but certainly not excellent. The alcohol selection is also below average. There are no beers on tap and the house wines are cheap table wines. Living in Napa Valley, one of the best wine countries in the world, we were disappointed. Service - The service here sucks. The waitresses are mostly young, attractive, uninterested-in-their-jobs women. While they always got our order right, they seemed impatient, quick to get through the order, and couldn't easily be found later on in the meal for a request or to ask for the bill. I'm sure this is not their fault for several reasons, but it doesn't make the experience any better. Interestingly, the gentleman who I perceive to be the manager / owner was quite nice and accommodating. Not sure why he doesn't train his wait staff better. Overall, this is a solid 3 star restaurant. But it is absolutely worth going to if you have a craving for pizza and are in the area. read more

I love this place! The service is friendly, the food is just so delicious and the prices are fair. Sometimes you gotta wait a bit until you're being served but its worth the wait! You can also bring your dogs and they have paint material for kids! Looooove this place read more

I confess it I am a pizza junkie....I have even contemplated having a sign made up saying "Will work for Pizza" so that it can be hung around my neck... and then I thought about it...."Will work"...really maybe not...but then again for the pizzas from Le Cochonnet maybe. Everytime I go to this restaurant it is nicely busy - always a good sign. As you may have guessed I particularly like the pizzas from this place and though I usually have takeaway I have eaten here once or twice. It's a nice atmosphere, the staff are nice and the food on the whole is good for the price. If you area in the areas and want to eat some of "mamas" Italian food but not sit in a restaurant that looks liek "mama" decorated it - give this place a try. read more

Le Cochonnet makes the best pizza in London!!:) I am not even a pizza person and I really think the pizza here is delicious. The crust is on the thin side but perfectly so, the cheese is quality, and the toppings are all tasty and complement the rest of the pizza. I tried the pasta here once but it wasn't very memorable (the spaghetti bolognese) but the pizza is always excellent. My favorite is the Baghdad with it's yummy toppings (Roasted Peppers, Aubergine, Artichokes, Mushrooms, Garlic, Parmesan, Tomato & Mozzarella, according to the website. To me it is a yummy delight, especially the artichokes!) I don't even love pizza in general, but I love Le Cochonnet's pizza. I would definitely recommend this! read more

I love their Pizzas. The americana(very hot-Indian dad can't handle it) and pollo are particular favourites. The size is huge so be prepared to have leftovers you will no doubt get hungry again when home. Their spaghetti bolognese is also worth a mention. It's simple but cooked with delicious organic beef. I tried the lasagne once and felt it was distinctly average so stick with the above items I say. There is a covered outdoor area as well as uncovered outdoor area. Place gets busy on weekends so worth making a res. Service can be a bit hit or miss. They have two screens which will show any games including sky sports but with no volume so it's a good place to go with the missus and covertly watch something ; ) read more

Really nice food and lovely environement. Haven't had a bad meal here. read more

I love this place!!! Fantastic food, love the pizzas and great bar. So great to meet some of the locals at the bar, and all the staff are really friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! Try the Buffalo Mozzarella Pizza = yum ! read more

I love this place and you will too. It really has all the things you want in a neighborhood restaurant. It's lively but you don't have to wait to get a table; the service was friendly and prompt; the pizza and pastas have been well past the quality you would expect for the price and the wine selection is affordable but excellent. I have been here threes times and I am really excited that this place is in my neighborhood. It even serves brunch until 3:30pm! I haven't tried that yet but I am almost excited to get a hangover so I can cure it with their breakfast! read more

This place is a lively oasis in a quiet part of town. The pizza is great - thin base and generous toppings. "Baghdad" comes recommended with generous vegetarian topping. Not the best pizza nor good value, but there is little to choose from in this residential area. read more

Since I live locally, I was at Le Cochonet two times, and both times the food was delicious. This is perhaps the best place to have a pizza or other Italian food in Maida Vale. read more

Nice place for a meal or just a drink. Pizza is cooked in front of you, although it doesn't have the Italian authentic taste - still nice and has a good choice to please all. Good service and friendly staff. read more

Quite a cute place with greenhouse seats in front and pub-like seating in the back. Food is around average with quite expensive price tag. My husband gets pizza from here all the time but I personally do not see any charm. I think it is just a local joint which you go to when you are just options... Nothing special to try. read more

The problem with Le Cochonnet is that my flat is directly across the street. What's the problem with that? I became addicted to the pizza so much that it was becoming an every other day occurrence and I had to quit full stop. The pizza is delicious! My favourites are the Honolulu and the Guilietta. I give the Cochonnet three stars for my other experiences. When I get a pizza to go, its usually pretty great (4 and a 1/2 stars). However, the service leaves much to be desired. Once we were seated in the porch part of the restaurant as the weather was getting chilly in October. The area we sat in had huge drafts and we absolutely froze. We asked the waitress if we could be moved inside the actual restaurant as we were frozen and the restaurant was empty. She was not very helpful or friendly, as said for us to stay where we were and she would turn on the outdoor heater for us. It didn't do much to improve the situation and we still froze. We were there for brunch and ordered the Eggs Benedict and Eggs Florentine. Both of these dishes were not very warm at all and honestly nothing to write home about. I feel like I could make this better with a recipe off google and a trip to Tescos. I was disappointed with this meal. Bottom line: Amazing pizza and poor customer service. A bit pricey, but that comes with the location. Expect to wait up to an hour and a half sometimes. I love a great pizza but I don't think the pizza is THAT good to wait an hour and a half. read more

This is a pretty cool italian, with great pizza and atmosphere. Don't know the area too well but this was busy and it seemed to be valued by the locals. One to return to, when I'm next around. They show the footy and it had a cool layout too. read more

We've lived in Maida Vale for over two years and all that time a neighbour has been recommending we try out Le Cochonnet on Lauderdale Parade. We even met a real estate agent who works a couple of doors away from this gourmet pizza haven and who practically bored our ears off as she raved hard about the Le Cochonnet spag bol. Then one day, well overdue, the time was right: Monsieur and I were starving, we were in the 'hood, and so we stepped inside. It was towards the end of the summer when we visited Le Cochonnet, so the doors were open to the street outside and we sat at one of their streetside tables, enjoying the sun. Perusing the menu, we decided to try their salads and pizza. The food was great - I think their tricolore salad is one of the best I've ever eaten in London, and the pizza was pretty good, too - a classic fiorentina with a nice runny egg in the centre of everything. There's apparently free wi-fi here, something to note for us geeks, and a wide-screen TV serves its purpose when major sports fixtures are playing. I liked the splashy, bright interior, loved the food, enjoyed watching the world go by and the fact it's not too far from home. The service was a bit slap dash, though. Our waitress forgot quite a few things; when cutlery failed to appear before or with the pizza, I couldn't raise anyone's attention and had to get up to fetch it myself. Still, the atmosphere was friendly enough to quickly forgive such moments of wait-staff amnesia. We will be back. read more

Love the pizzas here.. my favourite in London! Even if am in italy I miss these.. try the baghdad pizza!!!!!

Brilliant staff. Very busy place, particularly weekends. Dog friendly! average maida vale pricing, my gripe were tinned mushrooms entirely on the wild mushroom pizza for more than 13 quid! other than that solid, italian grub. read more

Mediocre place I agree with the review below, although my experience was not that bad. The food was not that bad but that staff really needs to work a little harder and to be more courteous with the clients. read more

There are so many reasons why I love having this place close to home -- outdoor seating, great pizza, a nice atmosphere and free wifi. They even offer heat lamps to maximise the days that you can spend on their outdoor patio. The pizza is nice and thin, just the way I like it and they also make a delicious chestnut tagliatelle. Great for meeting up with friends or takeaway. read more

This is a nice spot for a pizza and a beer. They have great happy hour specials and the pizza is right up my alley: crispy thin crust (and so many great options to choose from. However, the other dishes fail to impress. The service to take your order is a bit slow, but once they remember your there, the food comes out fast. This is also a great spot for kids as I see them there a lot (probably because of the milkshake specials) and dogs are even allowed in the inside patio. read more

Great pizza- but dodgy business practices. They have different prices on the website to what they charge you when you arrive (on a takeaway order). The staff know about it and apologize. So uncool. read more

Overall quite nice, but ordered spinach as a vegetable which was a BIG mistake! Leaves were old, stringy and chewy which for £3.75 was a bit rich. Would I go again? Yes, but I'd stick to what they do well, pasta and pizza, forget the rest. read more

I love the food at Le Cochenet. Everything is perfect except for the service. At times, it feels like you have been forgotten as I have been left alone for half an hour before even ordering. If you are in the area, you should definitely give it a try, but don't expect to be in and out in only 30 minutes. read more

Went yesterday, bitterly disappointed. Firstly asked for a tap water. When brought it tasted strongly of milkshake or whatever was previously in the glass. Disgusting! I then had a beef carpaccio starter, costing around £10.95. This was mostly lots of rocket with a few thin slices of beef. Couldn't believe the price. Wasn't even worth a fiver! The waiting staff did not pay attention to us and when I had finished my first course did not remove my plate or bring the next course. I had to get up and bring my finished plate to them and ask for the next course, just so they took notice. We were at no point asked how the food was, or anything else. When they eventually brought my chicken caesar main, again costing around £10.95, the chicken was ice cold (the menu said it was grilled, but this must have just come out of the fridge) and the salad not properly prepared, nor the contents evenly mixed. It was as if they had bought one from Tescos and just dumped it on the plate. My bill came to around the £23 mark just for me two courses not including drinks. I have not been this ripped off in a long time. AVOID AVOID AVOID! read more
