Christoff's Take

Insider review

Perched above Hackney's bustling streets, Netil360 has carved out a reputation as one of East London's most Instagram-worthy rooftop destinations. With authentic Neapolitan pizza, natural wines, and those panoramic London views everyone's after, it's become a Gen Z magnet that somehow manages to feel both trendy and genuinely good.

Netil360: Hackney's Pizza-Powered Rooftop That Actually Delivers

Where proper Neapolitan dough meets London skylines and weekend sauna sessions

My Honest Review

Atmosphere & Ambiance

The rooftop setting delivers exactly what you'd expect from a venue scoring 8.8 on the trendy factor scale - it's undeniably Instagram-worthy with those sweeping London views that make for perfect golden hour shots. The energy runs high at 7.8 out of 10, creating a properly lively atmosphere that attracts crowds rather than intimate gatherings. What sets it apart is the unique sauna experience available for hire, offering an unexpected twist on the typical rooftop bar formula. The space captures those authentic Hackney vibes perfectly, balancing sophistication (6.5/10) with a relaxed, unpretentious feel. It's designed for social gathering, with conversation-friendly acoustics that don't leave you shouting over your pizza. The over-18s policy on the rooftop keeps things decidedly adult, though this does limit its appeal for younger groups or families looking for a casual meal with a view.

Food & Drink

The kitchen takes pizza seriously here, crafting authentic Neapolitan stone-baked pies using 48-hour fermented dough - a detail that speaks to proper technique rather than rushed convenience. The commitment to seasonal, locally sourced ingredients elevates it beyond typical rooftop fare, where food often plays second fiddle to views. The natural wine selection deserves particular mention, curated to complement the Italian-focused menu while appealing to London's growing natural wine enthusiasts. Locally sourced beers round out the drinks offering, though specific details about the cocktail program aren't available. The Italian focus feels authentic rather than tokenistic, suggesting the kitchen understands what makes Neapolitan pizza work. While I can't speak to specific menu items or pricing details, the emphasis on proper fermentation and quality ingredients suggests they're taking the food as seriously as the views.

Service & Experience

While specific service details aren't available from my visit notes, the venue's popularity among locals and its viral status suggest they're managing the crowds reasonably well. The over-18s rooftop policy indicates a clear operational structure, and the fact that they've maintained their reputation as both a local favorite and Instagram destination suggests consistent execution. The Friday night DJ sets featuring soul and hip-hop indicate thoughtful programming rather than random playlist management. However, without direct service experience details, I can't comment on staff knowledge, wait times, or specific customer service quality.

Value for Money

At price level 2 out of 4, Netil360 positions itself in the moderate range - not cheap, but not premium pricing either. For a rooftop location with proper views and quality pizza made with 48-hour fermented dough, this seems reasonable for London standards. The combination of authentic Italian food, natural wines, and those panoramic views likely justifies the pricing, especially given its popularity among locals who presumably wouldn't return if value wasn't there. The sauna hire option adds an unusual value proposition for groups looking for something beyond standard drinks and dining. However, without specific menu pricing or portion details, it's difficult to assess exact value for money.

Insider Tips

Best Time to Visit

Friday nights are the insider choice for soul and hip-hop DJ sets with exceptional music curation. Weekend afternoons work well with Saturday opening at noon and Sunday service until 10pm. Avoid Monday and Tuesday when they're closed. The venue operates Wednesday through Thursday 5pm-11pm, extending to 12:30am on Friday and Saturday.

What to Focus On

Focus on the Neapolitan stone-baked pizzas made with that 48-hour fermented dough - this is clearly their specialty. Pair with selections from their natural wine list, which appears to be thoughtfully curated. The locally sourced beers offer a good alternative for those preferring something more familiar.

Christoff's Insider Tips

The rooftop sauna can be hired for groups wanting a unique London experience with panoramic views. Friday night DJ sets offer the best music progression according to locals in the know. Book ahead for weekend slots, especially Saturday afternoon onwards, given the venue's viral status and popularity among the Gen Z crowd.

The Final Verdict

Netil360 succeeds where many rooftop venues fail - by backing up the views with genuinely good food and thoughtful programming. The authentic Neapolitan pizza approach, natural wine focus, and unique sauna offering create something more substantial than your typical Instagram trap. While the over-18s policy limits its versatility and service details remain unclear, the combination of Hackney authenticity, proper Italian technique, and those undeniable London views makes it a solid choice for what it is. The high energy and crowd-friendly atmosphere mean it's not for intimate dinners, but for groups wanting good pizza with a view and proper weekend vibes, it delivers.
