THE ONE PEOPLE
COME BACK FOR
“Best doughnut I’ve ever had.” We hear that more than you’d expect. Usually from someone halfway through their first bite.
Sometimes it’s followed by this:
“We came for one… and left with six.”
“Dangerously addictive. Stopping at one is nearly impossible.”
“Nothing like I’ve ever tasted before.”
“We plan future London trips around visiting again.”
One pistachio doughnut explains all of it. That’s what makes Bombolone’s pistachio doughnut in London different from anything you’ll find in a chain.
ORDER A BOX
That meeting’s been dragging. This fixes it.
Ordering for the office is simple — boxes ready to go, easy to carry, and guaranteed to disappear faster than you’d expect. Once one person tries the pistachio, everyone wants one. Office orders and team treats available for collection or delivery across Central London.
Sending a gift? This is the one people actually remember.
Rich, Italian, nothing like a supermarket doughnut. A box with Pistachio Amore says more than flowers — and it’s the kind of thing people mention for weeks afterwards.

WHY PISTACHIO DOUGHNUTS?
Pistachio isn’t new. Italy’s been doing it properly for years. People just caught up.
The colour, the flavour, the way it looks on a counter — pistachio doughnuts went from a niche find to one of the most searched-for flavours in London almost overnight. There’s a reason for that. It’s genuinely one of the best things in Italian pastry.
The Italian version — the pistachio bomboloni — is what Pistachio Amore is based on. A traditional Italian filled doughnut. Made properly. We added it to the Bombolone menu because it belongs here: Italian in character, genuinely delicious rather than just on-trend, and the kind of thing that makes people stop mid-bite. It became our best-selling doughnut almost immediately. It hasn’t moved since.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
It starts with the dough. Italian brioche-style — soft, airy, made to hold a filling without disappearing behind it.
Then comes the Italian pistachio cream. Not a hint of it. A proper filling — rich, nutty, exactly what you hoped it would be. Filled by hand into every doughnut, not injected by machine. You notice the difference in the first bite.
On top: white chocolate coating, a pistachio sauce drizzle, ground pistachio, sliced pistachios. It looks as good as it tastes. It’s filled properly — not just enough to say it is.
If you’ve had a pistachio doughnut before, this is where it changes.
HOW IT’S MADE
Most doughnuts are made commercially — mixed by machine, injected by machine, finished by machine. Bombolone’s are not.
Every morning before we open, the dough is mixed from scratch — flour, eggs, fat, yeast. Each portion shaped by hand. No two identical. Fried at the right temperature until the crust holds. Then the Italian pistachio cream is filled by hand, the white chocolate coating goes on, and the pistachio drizzle, ground pistachio, and sliced pistachios finish it off.
Made every morning before we open. Gone when they’re gone.
WHY PEOPLE KEEP COMING BACK
Our bakers start before sunrise every morning — not to reheat, but to begin from scratch.
The dough was refined over six months before the first doughnut was ever served.
The pistachio cream is sourced from Italy. We tried dozens before we found the right one.
Within the first month of opening, Bombolone became the #1 ranked bakery in London on TripAdvisor. 5.0 stars. Over 120 verified reviews. Held for ten months.
The pistachio doughnut is the one reviewers mention most.
Stuart M: “worth a special trip.”
Rose C: “loocked, smelt and tasted divine.”
Marcinsz83: “The best one was of course pistachio.”

Every review below is from a real customer. No incentivised reviews. No paid placements. Just people who walked in off Whitcomb Street and wanted to tell someone about it.
BEST PAIRED WITH
The Italian pistachio cream is rich enough that you want a coffee with real weight next to it — not something that disappears behind it. Bombolone uses Moresso specialty beans from Brazil, Nicaragua, and Ethiopia, graded 80+ Arabica. A flat white or a long black. Both work. One’s a shorter experience. One lets the pistachio stay with you.

PISTACHIO DOUGHNUT LONDON — FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the Pistachio Amore?
Pistachio Amore is Bombolone’s pistachio doughnut — an Italian brioche-style doughnut filled by hand with Italian pistachio cream, finished with white chocolate coating, pistachio sauce drizzle, ground pistachio, and sliced pistachios. Available in big (approx. 140g) or party-size (approx. 55g). Vegetarian and Halal.
What does a pistachio doughnut taste like?
Rich, nutty, and creamy — with a natural sweetness that isn’t sharp or artificial. The pistachio flavour comes through clearly from the first bite. Paired with the light brioche-style dough and white chocolate coating, it’s indulgent without being heavy. Most people who try it order a second one.
What is the pistachio filling made from?
The filling is made from Italian pistachio paste — rich, smooth, and made from real pistachios. It’s what gives Pistachio Amore its deep, natural flavour rather than the artificial sweetness found in mass-produced versions.
Is Pistachio Amore vegetarian and halal?
Yes to both. Pistachio Amore is suitable for vegetarians and is halal certified.
Can I order Pistachio Amore online?
Yes. Pistachio Amore is available as part of a Bombolone doughnut box, which you can order online for collection or delivery. For larger orders, event catering, or corporate gifting, contact us — we reply within 24 hours.
Are the doughnuts made fresh every day?
Yes. Every donut is made fresh every morning before we open — baked from scratch, never reheated. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. The pistachio tends to sell out before the afternoon.
Where can I find a pistachio doughnut in Central London?
Bombolone is at 21 Whitcomb Street, London WC2H 7HA — two minutes from Trafalgar Square, steps from the National Gallery. Open daily.
What time does Bombolone open?
Bombolone is open Monday to Friday 9am–6pm, Saturday 10am–8pm, and Sunday 10am–6pm. Walk-ins are always welcome — no booking required. We’re at 21 Whitcomb Street, London WC2H 7HA, a two-minute walk from Trafalgar Square.
COME AND TRY IT
London has no shortage of doughnuts. Very few are worth stopping for. If you’re near Trafalgar Square, Whitcomb Street is two minutes away. If the pistachio is still on the counter when you arrive — try it. If it isn’t, come earlier next time.
Not usually a doughnut person? Good. This one tends to change that.
