PizzaExpress Islington

In the heart of Islington, PizzaExpress brings an inviting slice of Italian-inspired comfort to North London. Beloved for its warm welcome and consistent quality, this neighbourhood spot leans into thin-crust craft and bright flavours; pizzas are prepared to order, with classics such as the Margherita, American Hot and Padana showcasing fresh ingredients and balance.

The room is stylish yet relaxed, with contemporary décor, soft lighting and the theatre of open kitchens. The bustle of dough-tossing and the perfume of bubbling tomato and melting mozzarella set the pace, while friendly, attentive staff keep things easy for lunches, dates and family gatherings.

Beyond the headline pies, there is plenty to explore: small plates like buffalo chicken wings or Cajun prawns, comforting al forno from Lasagna Classica to Cannelloni, and specials ranging from BBQ Burnt Ends to Pollo Ad Astra. Plant-based diners are well served too, with Vegan Harissa Melanzane and Vegan Funghi di Bosco, plus simple sides like house slaw and dips.

Finish with something sweet and a spritz or an espresso martini, or browse the wines. Settle in and follow the aroma; PizzaExpress Islington is ready to serve good times by the slice.
