Meet Gracey's

It started with two teachers, a garden in St Albans and a pizza oven that didn't always behave.

During lockdown, James Woodley and Grace Surman started making pizza at home. What began as a side project quickly became an obsession. James chased the perfect dough through hydration notes, long ferments and endless testing. Grace handed the first slices around to anyone willing to try one.

That same curiosity still sits at the heart of Gracey's Pizza today.

New York and New Haven-inspired pizza, made the Gracey's way

Gracey's has built a following for its take on East Coast American pizza: crisp, charred bases with a satisfying chew, homemade sauces and carefully sourced toppings.

The result lands somewhere between New York and New Haven, but with a personality that's entirely its own. These are pizzas made with serious attention to dough and ingredients, without making dinner feel too serious.

If you're searching for New Haven-style pizza in London, Gracey's is a good place to start.

Start classic or follow Grace's latest obsession

You can keep things simple with a classic Margherita, or turn up the heat with Hot Honey. But pizza is only part of the order.

James's everyday small plates are designed to make a full meal of it: Caesar Salad for £5, House Garlic Bread for £7, and a New York-style Cookie & Ice Cream for £5 when you're ready for something sweet.

Then there are Grace's current obsessions: Smokey Ron for £12, Sweet Vera for £13 and Plain Tom for £6. Pick a favourite, add a few plates for the table and build dinner your own way.

Pizza made for sharing

Gracey's fits naturally into Arcade's way of eating: explore more, order across the table and discover something you didn't come in planning to try.

What began with James and Grace sharing test slices in St Albans has grown into a pizza brand with a devoted London following. The scale has changed. The instinct hasn't: make the dough better, use great ingredients and give people a slice worth coming back for.
