Voodoo Ray's is a small pizzeria restaurant located in north-east London, but thanks to this wonderful retro tile design done by Gundry & Ducker architects, you'll probably feel like more like you're in Brooklyn than the U.K.
New York City is world renowned for its small, homely pizza parlors that see authentic pizza makers whipping up deliciously greasy slices for thousands of patrons everyday. The pizza in New York is so famous that restaurants around the world have even tried to replicate the actual look and feel of these traditional pizzerias.
By using vibrant tile colors and patterns to make a deliberate reference to NYC pizza parlors of the 1980s and 90s, Gundry & Ducker have done a great job at creating a New York nostalgia experience for customers half way across the globe.
