Bel & Nev

Inside Bel & Nev

Bel & Nev sits just off Kensal Rise station, serving as a casual spot that balances the feel of a neighbourhood café with the charms of a pizza takeaway and restaurant. It’s a place locals seem to come back to whether for a quick breakfast, a slow weekend brunch, or a laid-back evening pizza.

The atmosphere leans into an intimate, family-run vibe. You’ll notice the warmth of the staff right away—friendly faces who often chat with regulars and create a sense of genuine welcome that doesn’t feel forced. It’s the kind of spot where you might grab your morning latte and avocado toast with chilli jam, then come back later for one of their thin, crispy pizzas that deliver on punchy, fresh flavours.

For breakfast or brunch, the options are homely but thoughtful—granola, porridge with coconut banana, and breakfasts with poached eggs and smoked salmon are common picks, alongside heartier items like spicy beans with feta and chorizo or ham and cheese toasties. The menu feels crafted to suit a range of tastes but with a clear leaning towards fresh, well-prepared ingredients and straightforward presentations that don’t overcomplicate things.

The pizza, inspired by New York-style slices but with their own twist, is a highlight for many, especially with creative toppings like homemade nut-free pesto or their popular hot honey dip that balances sweet and spice. The thin, crispy crust paired with fresh, vibrant toppings makes for an easy-to-enjoy takeaway or a cosy sit-down treat in their small, nicely decorated space.

Bel & Nev works well for those who appreciate a relaxed pace and a genuine local atmosphere rather than a buzzy commercial setting. Weekday mornings and weekend brunches see a nice flow of locals dropping by, while evenings are good for grabbing a pizza before heading home or meeting friends in a low-key setting. It’s not designed for big groups, but more for people who value a quieter, more personal experience.

The most delicious, freshly made, thin, crispy and full of flavour pizza’s, in the most inviting, family run, intimate setting. The decor is so lovely and don’t get me started on the homemade dips…the hot honey, perfect amount of sweet and spice and a scrumptious addition to my Raffy pizza (topped with homemade nut free pesto). Highly recommend to all! Made with love by Nev and trust me when I say you can taste it. Will definitely be retuning ASAP.

I just love this place. Its a lovely unique cafe serving up simple but delicious food. The duo chefs are friendly and approachable. So too are their colleagues. I always get a warm welcome. You can't deny the warmth and love of this family run business. A perfect formula. Oh and mustn't forget the delicious Corn Bread and other baked goodies. Thank you.

New York-style pizza joint right in the heart of Kensal Rise. Both the Hot Pep and Raffy were great; will be back to try the others. Super quick service too

After looking up places close by for breakfast, we decided on checking out Bel & Nev. It is literally a minute from Kensal Rise station. The staff were very polite and friendly. We ordered the scrambled egg with salmon and the brioche bun with a fried egg and avacado. In future I might ask them to hold on the jam with the egg - just a personal preference. On the whole the breakfast was good, I was surprised with the generous Salmon quantity. Had a hot oat latte and an ice oat latte, both were exactly what was needed. Will most likely go again.

Popped in on the way past to try a pizza (my one food weakness... of admittedly many). Really nice margherita pizza and friendly welcome that gives a real "local gem" vibe. Look forward to trying the rest of the menu!

Absolutely delicious. Incredible crust, possibly the best I've ever had, it was so light and crispy. Only downside was that it wasn't bigger, could have happily wolfed down another!
