I just want to say thank you to the sweet woman who remade a pizza that I ordered through Postmates. I called The Haven after I ordered through Postmates to have the balsamic vinegar on my pizza put on the side but the pizza had already been cooked. I told them not to bother since it was my fault but when I got the pizza it was a brand new one with balsamic on the side! Thank you so much guys you are the best!
Everything about this place is amazing! It's located in the perfect location, right in the heart of Kensington. They have gluten free options for those seeking that and they have unique beverages that will satisfy your thirst. Of course the pizza is finger licking good too. Check this place out!
A friend and I have our monthly meetings over pizza, brilliant idea I know. We’re always searching for new places to try. The Haven is in my back yard and it honestly tops my list of best pizza we’ve had after probably 8 meetings. It may not be the classic NY style that an enthusiast is after but it sure is delicious and exactly what I was craving. We shared a small antipasto salad and a 12” pepperoni pizza with mushrooms and jalapeños. Perfect amount of food for lunch. Excellent crust, chewy with great texture, and high quality toppings. Shaded patio and indoor seating with comfortable booths, great for people watching. Great service too. As we were leaving, they were getting a delivery of fresh pasta from a shop I love in Little Italy. Will have to come back and try more!

My wife and I have been going to Ken Café and their sister restaurant, The Haven Pizzeria, for years. Their delicious food, kind staff, and involvement in the Kensington community is what makes Ken Café our go-to brunch spot and Haven our favorite lunch or dinner date location. When we got engaged we wanted to have a low key legal ceremony with family and a small cocktail-style reception with family and friends. It was important to us that we stay in the neighborhood and that we choose a location for the reception that meant a lot to us as a couple.
When we reached out to Lauren and Lisa to see whether hosting the reception at Haven could be an option, we were met with the excitement of two close friends. At our first meeting, Lauren and Lisa closely listened to our vision, asked great questions, and walked us through the steps of hosting an event with them. We already had a good feeling going into the meeting, but by the end, we knew that this was exactly what we wanted. To accommodate the size of our group (that grew to 80 attendees!), we decided to hold the reception after hours at Ken Café and to cater food from Haven.
Lisa graciously offered to create an assortment of decorations, including crafting beautiful floral and light centerpieces. Lisa also patiently walked us through a thorough tasting of appetizers, salad, pizza, pasta, and dessert, ensuring we could work around the many food allergies found within our attending party.
Lauren, Lisa, and the Haven/Ken Café team absolutely went above and beyond! When we arrived on the evening of the reception, we were awestruck to see how all of the thoughtful ideas came together to create the perfect night. Every one of our guests raved about the food, drinks, decorations, and staff. Parker, Chelsea, Meg, and Rocky who worked the event are the textbook definition of “dream team.” The entire team somehow elevated an already perfect day. Everything was flawlessly set up. We had a mix of the café indoor and outdoor tables with chairs as well as high top tables. Lisa ensured that the sound system was ready for our reception playlist. Parker tracked down scotch tape to surreptitiously tape down a few outdoor signs to keep them from blowing away in the breeze. Chelsea and Meg even checked in with me and my wife throughout the night to see if we needed drink refills! And Meg did a spectacular job creating fresh flower arrangements.
We are so thrilled that we had Lauren and Lisa to work with in the lead up to the event and that we had Lisa, Meg, Chelsea, Parker, and Rocky to create a seamless party. We had heard that the wedding day can be a hectic, crazy blur of a day. But this was not the case at all. The Ken Café/Haven team made everything easy, affordable, and a TON of fun.
There are not enough stars in a review to accurately illustrate just how incredible this team is. They put so much care into coordinating and hosting our event. We cannot thank them enough!
We ate the soup and waffle-pressed grilled cheese sandwich so fast we almost didn't remember to take a picture! The New New York pizza was excellent. Also the Pasta Alla Vodka was really good too. Can't wait to come back and try more pizzas!
We lived in Kensington for 24 years and have come here many times since they opened and never had a bad experience. Pizza and pasta dishes are excellent! Service is quick and friendly and the atmosphere is cozy with a cute patio. I recommend splitting the large wedge salad with a pizza of your choice!

This is the spot for quality eating ! Can’t remember a pizza that has ingredients bursting with flavor like this. Explosive flavors!
Fabulous food! We got two cauliflower pizzas and a salad. The ingredients were fresh and local. Everything tasted homemade. The service was great. Their prices were reasonable. We loved that they can make almost everything on their menu gluten free. They also have tons of vegan and vegetarian options. We'll definitely be back!
Great little pizza place. We made reservations for 10 and they were able to easily accommodate us. The pizzas were delish, especially the PBTO (pesto, candied bacon, tomatoes, onion & mozzarella). I liked it better than the pizza I ordered (spicy Hawaiian), altho that pizza was also very good, just the right amount of heat from the jalapenos.
This is a great part of town and the people and food were awesome. I love pizza but came in with high expectations. And The Haven Pizzeria did not disappoint. First off had an small Anti pasto salad. The salad was obviously made for us. It did not feel packaged at all. Delicious ingredients and great presentation. And I got a small pizza with pepperoni, jalapeño, and mushroom. There were lots of suggested pizzas but opted to choose some toppings myself. It had a amazing crust and the toppings were fresh. Truly an am excellent pizza. Looking forward to going again.
Firstly, this place does NOT do Neapolitan pizza as someone stated (nor is it "authentic" Italian"), the server didn't even know what Neapolitan was! The pizzas are good however and a nice happy hour. Unfortunately my stomach didn't play well at night after eating which means the mozzarella they use isn't likely fresh. Worth a try otherwise.
Great tasting food, me my spouse and my 2 year old tried (shrimp lemon Alfredo, Dave’s meatballs, the Cesar salad, and BBQ chicken pizza) all 4 were good. We also left with pasta and chicken too; great service and polite women only one thing I wished was a little bit different was the timing of the food but the wait ensures quality so that’s why 4/5
