The first time I went to Flat Planet, all I had was a tea. But the fabulous ladies behind the counter were making these deliciously topped flatbreads and offered us some sample slices. I had one taste and fell madly deeply in love.
The concept is unassumingly simple – they make their dough using organic English spelt flour rolled into oblong dough-plates and top them with a variety of ingredients, creating some that are hot (oven baked) and some that are not and some that are breakfast inspired! Seriously, what’s not to like about something akin to a mini pizza, except a billion times tastier? Nothing, that’s what.
My favourite is the El Diablo (above), a tasty combination of chili oil, sundried tomato paste, rose harissa, smoked chili jelly, chorizo, fresh coriander and shavings of fresh parmesan. OMGYUMMM. Below is a new Mexican flavour, with refried beans, tomato, red onion and guacamole. Plus extra garlic sauce (which you can add yourself. As much as you like!) 
And this may not be half as pretty but surely speaks for itself with taste. It’s the aptly named Wikileeks, with sautéed leeks, goats cheese and smoked chilli jam:
They also, incidentally, make awesome brownies 
And then there are these “juices”, which are so light they’re more like flavoured water, but not the horrible supermarket variety (although, I have to shamefully admit that I used to be a little addicted to orange vitamin water). I’ve tried apple & ginger and pear & apple both of which are so good I suck them down like… a fricking oreo milkshake.
Flat Planet landed on our planet not very long ago and wriggled its way into my little heart. If you haven’t already been, I totally suggest you check it out. It’s a great idea that’s perfect for sunshiny summer days (like Friday, where I enjoyed take-out in the park) or to wile away some time (like I did on Saturday) watching the Carnaby St crowd passing by on one of their outdoor seats.
Oh hi look it’s Panu! Sipping on his pear & apple juice!

Sounds like a really good place, nutritional and healthy! Thanks for sharing. I may take a visit next time am in Soho.
LOL I love it! Wikileeks! So topical and funny-who would have ever thought that it would appear on a pizza
yeah that first pizza looks good! reminds me of Masterchef australia 2 where one of the contestants made up a pizza by putting rocket leaves on top.
Isn’t it great that they use spelt flour?! These look so good!
heh heh Wikileeks. Brilliant. I love it. The food looks good, too. I’ve never used spelt flour….spelts…sound like small fish, like smelts. But if YOU say it’s good, I believe you.
Ana: It’s great for lunch or a snack.. each flatbread is only £3-£4 so it’s great value too
Lorraine: Haha I love the name too!
mc: Yeah, it really is like a little pizza. Maybe a good pizza making activity with the kids?
Maria: YES! I thought of you when I saw that! Honest!
Linda: I say it’s good
Glad you’re finding time to relax from the job stress! Great post. x

Tori: Definitely – glad it’s sunnier again today!
Juliane: I might just check it out. I’ve never made a proper pizza base at home before, so who knows!
Smoked chilli jelly? Wow! And love that they use spelt flour. Looks totally delicious and worth a visit when I’m next in the area.
the smoked chilli jelly is amazing.. kind of like caramelised onions with a kick. SO GOOD.
Oh, new discovery for me! One more place to eat at that’s close to us, tick. I wonder if they sell their smoked chilli jam…
Wow that was odd. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say wonderful blog!
