Italian · West Hampstead
Pizza Bun on West Hampstead's high street does something a bit different — think folded, fire-oven creations that sit somewhere between a stuffed flatbread and a pizza, with fillings like lamb doner with jalapeños or Philly cheesesteak alongside a classic margherita. It's a compact, casual spot that's easy to navigate with a buggy, and highchairs are available for little ones. Vegan options are on the menu, and it's likely to suit gluten-free and halal diets too, though it's always worth checking when you order.

The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
