Pizza Express, London

Continuing our aim of serving the best pizzas and feeding great conversations we have launched some new dishes as well as bringing the kitchen to the heart of the restaurant to really hero our skilful pizzaiolos.

Long before the recent opening of his home-town restaurant in Peterborough, Peter Boizot started the first PizzaExpress in London, 1965. However his first taste of pizza was in 1948 whilst in Northern Italy. From there, he found himself in Germany where he witnessed pizzaiolos dressed in blue and white striped shirts tossing the dough high into the air. This was accompanied by opera, classical and jazz music all played off a juke machine.

About this Restaurant

On returning to London and finding no good pizzas, Peter invested in a Signora Notaro oven from Italy, got an exclusive deal with London's only mozzarella maker, Margaret Zampi and took over her ailing pizza shop, PizzaExpress. Soon a second restaurant was opened and the beginnings of PizzaExpress started.

All restaurants claim to be passionate about service, but at PizzaExpress we really mean it. We only recruit 'people people' for our front-of-house teams and work hard to give our customers the warm welcome and attentive service they deserve.

Our aim is that every customer leaves PizzaExpress feeling that little bit happier and more relaxed than when they came in.

We want every visit to be a great experience but mistakes do happen and we don't always get it right. Please let us know if your visit didn't come up to scratch so we can try to make it up to you.
