Motherdough opens first restaurant at London Dock

Motherdough, a new Neapolitan pizza parlour, has opened its first restaurant at London Dock in Wapping. 

Following on from his most recent success of independent brunch café BOBO & WILD – with locations in Shoreditch Park, Clapham Common and South Woodford – Motherdough’s creator Farkhod Najmetdinov is well-versed in creating fresh and exciting F&B concepts that contribute to the fabric of local communities. 

Around Pennington Quay Walk and Gauging Square, Motherdough has joined an eclectic offer of new bars and eateries, including Slurp Noodles, Urban Baristas and Champagne Route.

Having opened the doors of its 1,087 sq ft space in February 2024, Motherdough offers a wide selection of authentic Neapolitan sourdough pizzas, natural wines by Top Cuvée, and desserts in a contemporary environment.

Motherdough’s signature dough is freshly prepared each day by their in-house pizzaiolo and left to rise for up to 48 hours, creating soft pizza bases. The menu includes MD Truffle, Margherita, ‘Nduja and vegan pizzas.

Najmetdinov said: “Motherdough is rooted in carefully and sustainably sourced ingredients, precise preparation, and a genuine excitement to serve a vibrant and friendly neighbourhood. We build communities around our tables and we’re extremely excited to be doing so at London Dock. 

“Its cosmopolitan feel, central riverside location and rich history amidst an already thriving, established community were just some of the reasons why we chose Gauging Square as our first location and we can’t wait to see where it takes us.”
