Stringray Globe Cafe

I’ll start by saying the service was great, everyone working at the front of the house was fantastic. Also the calamari was decent. The pasta I had though (the Pasta Luigi) was really bad. This pesto pasta had barely any pesto, and was topped with deep fried cheese curds. (Why?) There was also an old crispy French fry in my pasta. Furthermore, it was covered in way too much mushy eggplant to the point where the flavor was ruined. I’m sure the oil from the deep fryer wasn’t helping the flavor either, since they clearly just dumped the fryer basket over my pasta (hence the old fry). Once again

When Deliveroo failed to deliver these guys went out of their way to save the day. One of the managers drove out to us to drop of the food instead. And the pizza and calzone were spot on. Thanks so much, would definitely recommend.

I have tried almost everything on this menu and it never disappoints! Also the happy hour is a great addition🍸🍹don't sleep on this place!!!🌟🌟

I've been a customer of this fantastic establishment for the past 8 years (I know I should've left a review earlier). I can't recommend this place enough; consistently excellent pizzas, a good selection of draft beers and a lovely atmosphere.
On my last visit (Sunday just gone) my friends and I were served by a wonderful and charming waitress called Sarah who provided excellent banter and made our meal all the better for it. I'll be going back for sure!

Food was great! Had the wild mushroom tortelloni and cannelloni and it was probably the best Italian pastas I've had in London, especially at that price! Compliments to the chef!

I love this place. Super nice service. The pizza is fantastic (trust me, I'm italian). Great cocktails, I highly suggest the happy hour margarita. Highly recommended 👌 👍 👏

Came here yesterday for my sister's birthday and the pizza was REALLY GOOD!! the staff were very welcoming and friendly too and if you sit outside there's a heater if it gets too cold! i also had a chocolate lava cake which was very tasty i would definitely recommend it.

Whenever I have something to eat from Stringray Globe I'm never disappointed in any way. Not only is the food always mouthwateringly delicious, but the staff are always friendly, polite and helpful.
All in all, a lovely family run Restaurant that is never anything less than a total pleasure to visit. Definitely a favourite of mine.

Great food and great prices. Gluten free options for my daughter who has allergies. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, we couldn’t ask for more!

The staff and food are fantastic. Lucked into the Stringray because everything else was booked. Get the lentils! Good pizza. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Came across this cafe today and thought we'd get a pizza to enjoy in the sunshine.
Very fast service, friendly staff and absolutely delicious pizza!
I had a simple Hawaiian and you can tell it's good quality ingredients and very tasty base!
My friend had the gluten free base option and they were happy to accommodate her extra requests and included little pots of chilli oil too which was a nice touch.
Very covid safe set up too, highly recommend a visit and then walk through the park after!

Good service and great food - I'd highly recommend any of their pizzas: they are just one notch ahead. You'll need to go early as this place is often full!

Excellent spaghetti bolognese. The sauce was perfectly seasoned, the pasta was perfectly cooked. Excellent service, great low-key atmosphere. Exactly what I needed after a long day of travelling.

No delivery they told me to use deliveroo app. I got pie from with the app @ Sourdough Saloon @ The Lord Morpeth as I was too far away for the app.
Did not eat any food from them not sure how I should rate them so I gave 3 out of 5

Wonderful little Italian restaurant with reasonable prices. Come ready to eat because the portions are more than generous!

Practical place if you have celiac or gluten sensitivity. They have both pizza, pasta, cannelloni, salad and other glutenfree food. As well as 2 types of gluten free beer. As I was afraid of contamination (gf and normal pizzas are cooked in the same oven) I asked if they could place some oven paper as to not have my pizza come in contact with contaminated surfaces. They happily accommodated my request.

Modest place with simple standard. Prices could be a lower for what's offered however I was happy to find some glutenfree food after arriving late at night in London an Uber away.

I'm slightly in two minds about writing this review as this place is so good that I kind of want to keep it a secret! I love Stringray because I get to eat normally! Being gluten-free normally means requesting a gluten-free menu or allergen chart and cross referencing what you can and can't have! Not here, the menu clearly states that they can do both the pizza and pasta gluten-free and they even have gluten-free beer available. They used to have Crop Circle but the last few times I've been in I've had the Daura and both are delicious.

Normally gluten-free pizzas are substantially

Absolutely delicious pizzas, and fast service! I also had potato skins as an appetizer, which were divine.
It was really great that they are very accommodating of dietary restrictions. Other than having gluten-free options available for all pizza doughs and pastas, They had it very clearly indicated on their menu when things were vegetarian, lactose-free, or could be made gluten-free, and when things may contain traces of nuts and gluten.

Great comfort food for a cold winters day!

Sunday lunch at Columbia market has so many choices, however we opted for the Stingray Globe as many others had a waiting list, or were rammed full.

We opted for the vegetarian Calzone, pumpkin and goats cheese salad (starter) and polenta chips (with tapenade) to share.

Portion sizes were very good and the place itself had a warm vibe and décor, however whilst the food was okay, it wasn't very flavoursome.

I did like the thin edges for the Calzone and it was stuffed with filling. But it was rather bland and the dough was very floury. Whilst

Was up in Columbia Road a few weeks ago as I'd not been up there before . Stupidly, I had taken no cash with me, so popped into this place for a bit of lunch as it accepted card (rule number one: ALWAYS take cash to Columbia Road).

Being a Sunday on Columbia Road, it was of course rammed with people, but the staff seemed new to this. I think it's just the way it's run as a family-run affair, but as a customer it seemed chaotic. I wondered around what is essentially an old pub set-up for ten minutes being completely ignored, so I finally asked someone for a menu and sat outside.

For the price of the pizzas, this place is fantastic! The restaurant is basic but the pizza is fresh, large and they always accommodate any extra toppings you want!
It is very cheap, we often order takeaway and come over and pick it up, the service is very quick and pizza tasty. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

1. Cheap
2. Huge portions
3. Tastes delic

One of my favorite pizza joints in London. The price is sooo right for the huge pizza you get. If you order the calzone, it's the size of a 1 month old baby. The pizza is not only huge, but toppings are plenty and the crust is delic. You don't feel ripped off at all. I always have some left over and get a takeaway box.

*The garlic bread order is basically a whole pizza, but garlic and cheese. So be prepared to share with 5 ppl, unless this will be your main order.

There's usually always a wait and typically I don't have the patience

We came here for a drink on a Saturday evening and ended up staying for food.

A totally relaxed unassuming place that does good food at decent prices. The Gluten free Pizza was a very happy surprise, not to mention it was HUGE (gluten free pizzas are usually smaller) . We left happy and full.

The crowd was really varied, for being pretty much East London. There was a teenagers birthday party there and the staff seemed just lovely to them. You don't see much of that in central London, so it must be a good thing.

Loved it, would go back for casual dining.

Maybe it was the fact that my boyfriend and I were there on a non-market day, but the service was friendly and quick when we went. Our server was really nice, and for someone with my dietary requirements, it's nice to know that they were nice about my request to leave cheese out of my order. The garlic pizza bread is really really awesome. It's really all about the texture of the bread. I also ordered some chips and a grilled veggie salad. They also put rosemary chili olive oil on the table to have with your meal. It's nice on anything really.

We had sort of doubted the place at

Cute little pizza place at the end of the Columbia Road cafes and shops. On Sundays it gets quite busy, so it's best to get there early. In nice weather, it's a great place to sit outside and people watch. I've never been on a day other than Sunday, but I assume it's still a good place to go, and much quieter.


The pizzas are huge and I'm always impressed (and slightly guilty feeling) that I finish it. They offer all the good stuff on the side and the chili oil has a nice kick.

Sing with me now: "which one of these is NOT like the other..."

Stingray Globe- sort out your staff!

If I was only reviewing the food here it would be five stars all the way. Pizza's are thin and crispy, packed with toppings and ridiculously cheap (between £4.50 and £7)! Bacon, red onion and mushroom- oh so good! The 'American hot' was tasty too but the hidden jalapenos knocked me for six at little. Drinks are also very reasonable and they serve proper syrupy draught coke. Yum!

Sadly however, your staff refuse to communicate with the customers, or even each other. I watched two tables of five being turned away because there was a queue

Yum! Great Pizza, book if you can or just swing by - it's always packed tho.
