Pizza restaurant Fire & Stone has launched its fifth outlet in Spitalfields Market.

The restaurant, which dishes up pizzas, pastas and salads, has a commitment to source from local and specialist suppliers where possible.

The biggest sellers include the New York featuring crispy smoked bacon, home-made caramelised onion jam, sautéed potatoes and paprika topped with a dollop of sour cream and the Marrakech with cumin-spiced lamb, fresh Italian mozzarella, mint yoghurt, olives and raisins.

Desserts include deeply-chocolaty brownies made fresh on site daily and silky ice cream from Jude's dairy in Hampshire.

The restaurant will also have the chain's first dough room that will be visible from the market allowing customers to see the bases being freshly rolled and prepared.

Hugh Fowler, managing director of Covent Garden Restaurants which owns Fire & Stone, commented: "Fire & Stone has a loyal following and the new site aims to bring our exciting and creative menu to a larger audience of city workers, artisans and tourists. 

"We have created some innovative promotional activity to entice people to sample our food over the next month and we look forward to welcoming a new group of die-hard Fire & Stone fans."

In addition to two restaurants in London at Covent Garden and Westfield, the company has also launched new outlets in Portsmouth and Oxford. The new East London venue caters for up to 110 covers inside and a further 80 outside and will feature an open kitchen.
