PizzaExpress Kennington Road

Bright and modern behind its wrap-around windows, PizzaExpress Kennington Road brings a breezy Italian pace to South London. A short stroll from Kennington station and The Oval, it hums with pre-match excitement and easygoing catch-ups, all buoyed by friendly service and a light, airy room that suits family gatherings as well as weeknight suppers.

On the plate, it is familiar in the best way: Romana-style pizzas share the spotlight with those famous dough balls and crisp, fresh salads. Comfort comes baked and bubbling from the al forno, with Pollo Pesto and Lasagna Classica, while small plates such as marinated green olives, slow-roasted tomatoes, buffalo chicken wings and Cajun prawns set the tone for sharing. To finish, think chocolate fudge cake or a scoop of ice cream, chased by a Passion Fruit Martini, Espresso Martini, or a glass from a well-chosen wine list.

Designed for conviviality, the space leans into its communal spirit with a private function room for group bookings, free WiFi, and easy access for all. Consistent, welcoming, and reliably relaxed, it is a natural choice before the first ball is bowled or after a long day. Book a table, gather the crowd, and let the good times roll like a perfect dough ball.
