    Mixing pizza and vynil
    Jennifer L.

    A bit off the beaten path but if you are in the area and wants to satisfy a pizza craving then this is the place! Good pizza and the soundsystem is amazing!

    Fungi Pizza
    Natalie R.

    Coffee Eat and Beats! Love it! Had a amazing Fungi a la Truffle pizza accompanied by a DJ set played by Max the owner (check out the Rubio web page and social media pages for upcoming music events) So the food and live music is not the only great thing about this place, the interior is designed and decorated with some amazing light fittings and a pretty impressive display of records. I could see this being a great space for an intimate birthday gathering.

    Rubio's is an unexpected treat. It's a beautiful restaurant, intimate with close tables, comfy chairs, and strikingly moody decor. The thing you'll notice first is the vinyl covers, the wall of the main restaurant is covered with these. It gives a lot of colour, atmosphere and eludes to the bohemian vibe that oozes from this venue. It also gives you an insight into the owner of Rubio's, a local whose other love apart from running a chilled out restaurant is DJing. I ordered the calzone, beetroot and goats cheese starter and a glass of the house red. My friend ordered the atun (tuna, roasted onions and black olives). It was extremely hard to order, I liked the look so many of the pizzas on the menu, the wild mushroom and truffle oil being on my wish list. But I'm a sucker for Calzone, and this was a good one, I found it stuffed with ingredients, filled almost entirely to the edge. The tomato sauce was delicious, it was just so rich, and the dough was backed to a perfect consistency, not too hard, with a nice spongy bite. Being me I added some home made chilly oil to give it a bit of extra bite... absolutely yummy! The beetroot and cheese salad (served on a bed of rocket), was a nice break from the intense flavors of the calzone, I liked the balance of having the fresh with the baked. House wine was absolutely drinkable, not outstanding, but yet there was nothing wrong with it and it complemented the pizza. At £12 for the pizza, £4.50 salad and £4.80 a glass of wine, it very reasonably priced. One tip; we struggled to finish the meal (even though I was ravenous), I'd suggest therefore if you're going as a couple and want starters or deserts you might want to share a pizza. Staff were also pretty friendly, the bathroom was amazingly clean and luxurious (yup it's important) and whilst the owner was DJing, it was at a very reasonable volume, so it was easy to talk with friends. A really nice vibe that I could see being nice for a leisurely brunch which they do also offer.

    Veg pizza
    Jennifer S.

    My friend and I were here earlier this week for a Yelp event. The restaurant generously offered us Yelpers free pizza and booze. I got the veg pizza and my friend the truffle pizza. I am a major pizza snob as a native NYer and I have to admit the veg, while loaded with toppings, was only OK. The flavour could have been far more intense. The truffle pizza though tasted delicious and I was jealous of my friend's pie! But the prices and pizzas are very reasonable so if I lived in the area I would probably swing by.

    Napoli and Fungi

    Very chill venue. Instantly felt cozy after walking in from the rain. Great service, was greeted warmly by wait staff who were attentive throughout the evening. Excellent pizza menu, so many options. I went to the Napoli- pepperoni, choizo and olives. Annoyingly the olives were not pitted which made it difficult to enjoy the pizza as a whole. Two of the waitstaff where very attentive in warning me. Was a nice surprise to learn the the owner (half of the Shapeshifters) would be planing a DJ set. I was a little worried that a DJ wouldnt fit in with the chill atmosphere created and was happy that it only added to the relaxed atmosphere of Rubio. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

    The record wall

    Just off of the High Street in Harlesden is Rubio, a cozy looking pizzeria with a funky wall and plenty of good offerings. At around £10-12 for a pizza, and £3-5 for a starter it's decently priced and the quality is definitely there. The garlic bread with mozzarella was a star, perfectly crispy, no sign of any burn and just the right amount of garlic to make you feel it. Normally a fan of NY style pizza (big flavours, big slices) this is a really good alternative when it's not available. I opted for a calzone and wasn't disappointed, it was really stuffed full of cheese, meat and mushrooms and I went in hungry and left full. There was a little spice in there that negated my usual want of chili oil to add a bit more kick to a pizza. The décor is fun, with a wall dedicated to vinyl albums (some of which have records in them so don't mess around too much with them! The owner is a DJ and occasionally spins up tunes in the evening, there's a DJ setup in one corner. In terms of service, the staff were fun and engaging and always kept an eye out for plates that could be cleared away or drinks that may need replenishing. That combined with the food means that it's on my list of places to go to again. If only you were a little more central than Harlesden (although tbh I do seem to end up in that direction more often than not).

    Calzone pizza at Rubio :)
    Jamie T.

    I had the calzone pizza and it was great. For a spicy option, you can either have chili oil, Tabasco or chili flakes. The portion is also quite filling so really good value. It's around 15 minute walk from the tube, but quite easy to find and has a nice atmosphere.

    Cappriciosa, full and yummy!

    The pizza was very very nice, well packed, nice and juicy, the dough crusty and not to thin for people who like the full dough experience. The service is super cute and friendly, just lovely discrete people. The owner Max is a music lover) dj from Sweden who vanished behind the turntables and served us more vinyl plates. If you are into a good pizza, a loungy atmosphere and good warm funky vibes, give Rubio a go!
