Creative pizzas in London

“Excellent crispy pizzas. If you like pizzas such as those from Pizza Union (i.e. crispy ones), you'll love those from Pizza Squad as they have a similar style with more and better ingredients! That's surely why it is a bit pricier and well worth the extra quids. I enjoyed the Ham pizza best, the Octopus one was good as well and interesting but not as good as the Ham one. Very easy to order so you can pick up on your way home. Plus they are very friendly. Overall, if you like delicious crispy pizza, then look no further.”

“Thank you to The Pizza Gig for catering for my brothers 30th party yesterday! The pizzas were absolutely delicious and Joe & Patricia provided a 5 star service. It was a great addition to our party, everyone tucked in and enjoyed! Thank you so much. Would 100% recommend for any event!”

“Truly good fresh, pizza. Quality is good. Wait times can vary but I can guarantee a banging pizza. The worker named Dan is kind and loads the pizza with toppings. Overall a must try and definitely work for a tenner. Big spicy and Woodland”

“Had an amazing dining experience at Pizza Pilgrims. First time eating here. Make sure you get the spicy pineapple margarita!!! We had a lovely and attentive waitress called Giorgia - thank you for looking after us!”

“Just by looking at the place when walking by, you would never expect that the pizza and service here would be “magical” but it truly was in every aspect. My pizza magician was Gino and he ran the entire operation during my visit there. He took the orders, served the drinks, cashed me out, and bussed the tables. He deserves all the credit for my dining experience. Gino was very affable and charming — it just added to the experience. I am not a huge pizza fan so if I rave about pizza, those who know me know I’m being genuine. Nevertheless, I couldn’t decide on which pizza to get so after explaining what I like (melt your mouth spicy) and don’t like (soggy or salty ingredients), he made a custom one for me and it didn’t fail to deliver. I would absolutely recommend checking out this place. As you can tell from my photography skills, I’m not an influencer or bot by any means. I just really enjoyed the pizza and think the place deserves to be acknowledged for it.”

“Visited here for my birthday with my boyfriend and we had a really wonderful experience! Whether you are a lost boys fan, love vampires in general or are just looking for somewhere a little quirky and different to visit this is the perfect spot for you. Pizza was delicious and there are loads of options available for those with dietary needs etc. The staff are super lovely and attentive (even when it was super busy we were still checked on often) - I really couldn't recommend this place anymore and I'm really excited to visit again the next time I'm in London.”

“This place is absolutely incredible. It was one of my favourite places to take family and friends to have a meal. The food is extremely tasty and also very good quality at an affordable price. As well as this, the interior is extremely cozy, and it even has a little outside area with heating, too. I would recommend this place to anyone. The staff are also really nice, especially Boris, who is always accommodating and friendly. Definitely go here!”

“Range of options for different dietary requirements. Veggie pizza and GF pizzas were both terrific. Great range of deserts. Also, 10/10 chips. Crispiest I've had in a good while.”

“Some of the best pizza I’ve had, nice setting inside and a few tables outside. My Italian friend was impressed. Need I say more Lager was good too Cheers”

“Excellent pizza, cool, buzzy vibe (but can be a bit noisy due to the bare wall acoustics). Simple menu focused on pizza but everything done really well. Cheesy garlic bread and top-notch olives a great way to start. Highly recommended.”

“Can’t fault them on anything, the best pizza I’ve tasted xx”

“We stumbled upon this lovely little pizzeria while on the search for something to eat before a show. To our surprise they had everything for everyone!! My husband is coeliac and vegan. He was served the most delicious pizza . Nothing was too much or too complicated. We highly recommend pizza-paradiso not only because the delicious pizza , the service is first class! Kind, professional and friendly. We’ll recommend :-)”

“Pizza very nice and delicious I enjoyed it with my family really delicious I recommend this place . Staff is really helpful . Will order again”

“Lovely dinner at lupollo, the special pasta with nduja sausage and burrata was delicious! Great roast potatoes and atmosphere. Perfect service from Boryana, Vincenzo and rest of team despite being so busy! Thank you”

“The best sushi in town! The atmosphere and recipes are authentic. The staff were extremely polite, and even though we arrived at the restaurant late, they didn't rush us to leave and provided us with excellent service. This is definitely a place to visit if you're in London. Although we were fortunate enough not to wait in line, I recommend making a reservation.”

“A lovely return to a feeling of somewhat normality. Staff and seating area alike were welcoming.”

“I had such a great experience at PizzaExpress! The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive from the moment we arrived, and the atmosphere was relaxed but lively. The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious – the dough balls were the perfect starter, and the pizza had that signature thin, crisp base with fresh, flavourful toppings. What I really appreciated was the balance between quality and value. You can tell the ingredients are fresh, and everything was cooked to perfection. The restaurant was clean and well-kept, making it a really comfortable place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Overall, it was a fantastic visit – great service, tasty food, and a welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“I recently ordered pizza from this shop and was thoroughly impressed by their exceptional service. The staff greeted us warmly and promptly seated us, making us feel right at home. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations based on our preferences. The food arrived quickly and hot, ensuring we enjoyed our meal at its best. Throughout our visit, the attentive and friendly service made our dining experience truly enjoyable.”

“We were here for my daughter’s pizza making birthday party. Although there were some issues with finalising the details prior to the party, on the day of the party itself, my daughter and her classmates all enjoyed the experience thoroughly. Each child received a starter, their own designed pizza and dessert. The party was mainly managed by Julianna who was a great host in making sure everything went through smoothly without it feeling rushed.”

“Akira is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Japanese culture and craftsmanship. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the thoughtfully curated experience that extended beyond the impeccable food to include the beautiful, handcrafted tableware and furniture. The 5-Course Sushi Omakase was a culinary journey worth every penny (the 5 course menu is £105, the 3 course is £85). The fish was of exceptional quality, and each dish was presented with artistry. The diverse range of dishes left us impressed, maintaining its outstanding standard right until the very last course. What truly sets Akira apart is the immersive cultural experience it offers. Every detail, from the interior design to the tableware, reflects Japanese artistry and tradition. Special recognition goes to the staff, whose friendliness and positive energy further elevated the experience. If you're seeking a dining experience that seamlessly blends exquisite cuisine with an authentic taste of local culture, Akira is a must-visit destination. It’s more than just a meal—it’s a journey into the heart of Japan.”

“Nobu is above the price range where we normally eat out but as we are fans of Nippon food, thought it was worth visiting the grand daddy of Japanese/Peruvian restaurants. It was an enjoyable experience, if dear. Our main waiter was excellent, advising on how much to order, deciding on the sequence and pairing of food arrivals, and instructing us how to best to enjoy certain dishes. This was not the case with all staff who sometimes just dumped dishes on our table. Happily our main waiter stopped by to instruct us to taste the miso black cod on its own first before trying it with the dots of sauce and saving the wand of pickled ginger for the end. Similarly the dry miso powder served with the grilled asparagus was meant to be sprinkled on top, though we also used it as condiment for dipping. First to arrive was a double order of tuna tacos with dry miso. Very delicious, served at room temperature and the seasoning was more reminiscent of truffle than miso. Tiny portion, though, with taco shells just shy 3 inches in diameter. Second to arrive were the star dishes of black cod miso and grilled asparagus with dry miso, both served warm. Portion sizes were thankfully generous. The black cod was delicious because the sweet miso and mirin marinade was applied very thinly and grilled until slightly blackened, so the flavour was complex rather than just sweet. It didn't need the dots of extra marinade mixture on the plate which we both found too sweet. A long thin stalk of pickled ginger was decorative both for its sculptural shape as well as its fuschia to white ombre hue. However, it tasted just like the pickled ginger you normally get with sushi. Asparagus was attractively charred but still succulent so probably blanched prior to grilling. Apologies for the photos as we started tucking into this course before remembering to take a photograph. Next to arrive were chicken skewers with anticucho sauce. Chicken breast was shockingly tender and juicy. I do not know how the kitchen team achieved this texture. Anticucho sauce was okay but nothing special--pretty much the same as in other Nippon restaurants. The garnishes of pickled cauliflower, hijiki and daikon were a lovely contrast. A sweet puree of pumpkin was a nice foil for the anticucho sauce. This portion consisted of two large skewers. Finally our order of maki fillers arrived. We had been unnecessarily worried about tiny portions so ordered a few rolls to fill up on rice. Scheduling these to arrive last was last was a brilliant move on the part of our waiter, as these items were not spectacularly different from maki rolls available at any Japanese takeaway that uses decent fish and serves sushi rice at the correct temperature. I liked the futomaki style house roll served with soy. We also had yellow tail and Jalapeno roll served with ponzu. We took home some maki's in a takeaway box because we were full. The restaurant is windowless in the basement though there is a pretty honey wood decor, recalling both Scandi and Japanese aesthetics. The wood panelling also resulted in excellent acoustics. The disco beats from the bar were far away enough not to be disturbing. Portion sizes were mainly good. I was a little surprised that the only South American ingredient in our order was chilli. We washed down our meal with the cheapest red at £55 which was very pleasant. This is at a price point where we might not dine here again. Dinner for two including the bottle of house wine came to £219. I was glad for the experience and certainly learned some new things to try to reproduce at home.”

“My visit to this pizza express could not be faulted! We didn’t book a table but were seated straight away with no hesitation. The food was brilliant, staff so helpful with my allergies and although busy still a nice vibe throughout the restaraunt. Will definitely be coming back here!”

“I love getting food here. Prices are good and the food is awesome. Staff is very friendly. Sometimes they play loud music but other than that I love it here. The fish and chips is also great. I love coming here and would deffo recommend it”

“Great pizza, super polite staff - especially Alex (BIG SHOUT OUT) and very fast service! My new fave pizza!”

“Really really good pizza! A nice chewy and sturdy crust and great flavor combinations. We got the hot honey + pepperoni pizza and the red and white and both held up great even with a 15 minute walk home. Super pumped to have them close by.”

“Delicious Italian food for amazing value! Really enjoyed my dinner there. It's got a really welcoming and pleasant atmosphere and the staff were really kind and attentive. Would absolutely dine here again if in the area.”

“Food arrived super hot and in time. Driver could have smiled more but then we all have bad days. Hot peppers nice and spicy and flavours up there with the rest. Really enjoyed this pizza place. If only the sizes where bigger.”

“Great pizza for the price and the guy there is a legend. I call soon as leave work and ask how long I will be. Only wait 1 min every time to hot amazing pizza.”

“REALLY RECOMMEND!!! THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! Any size pizza only for a tenna. Absolutely amazing deal right there. The pizza is warm and perfect and words honestly cannot explain how much i love their pizza. Me and my friend used to go there every day during our lunch break and share a massive pizza.”
