As we have incredibly good artisan pizza in Durham, NC, this place didn't amaze me. However, it was good, and was certainly worth the price. You step to the front and order at the counter, then find a seat and they call your name when your pizza is ready - quite quick. Definitely a happening place, as it was pretty much packed inside, even quite late at night when I stopped in (open helpfully late), desperate for food. Worth a stop! read more

If you're American and have eaten at one of the many MOD pizza places cropping up across the US, then this concept will be familiar to you. Pizza Union is MOD's faster, cheaper, cooler cousin. The pizza menu prices range from £2.95 for blanco (garlic bread), £3.95 Margherita, and up to £6.50 for the meat supremo known as the carne. You can also add your own toppings. The reason this reminds me of MOD, despite not having he build your own for one price theme, is the dough is thin and the pizza is ready in ~5 mins or less. This was despite showing up during the lunch rush-- $5 mins later I had a good looking pizza. The same dough was surprisingly soft (I had expected a more toothsome texture given the light char and use of a coal brick oven) but the ingredients were surprisingly hearty for the price and mascarpone and fresh sausage for $5£? Impressive. The sauce worked. The arugula (rocket to Brits) was fresh but lacked the pepperiness of truly in season arugula. Super hipster, they have baristas. Plan to spend half as much as your pizza on beer or even soda. All in all a nice, quick, little lunch stop with decent to good tasting pizza, helpful and cheerful staff, and super fast light food. read more

Pizza Union was surprisingly cheap and the vibe was cozy. The crowd was mostly young hipster types taking advantage of cheap good food and free wi-fi. I ate my entire pizza by myself. Pizza crust in London isn't the best I've ever had, though. Maybe it is the water. I was happy to find this place when I arrived for a concert at a nearby venue too early. read more

If you're looking for good pizza then this is the place to go! The price was super cheap for the quality and size of the pizza! The venue is really quirky and great for large groups. read more

I recently visited Pizza Union as I'd heard excellent things about it. I was not disappointed! The relaxed atmosphere was obvious as soon as we arrived and the long, beautifully tiled communal tables add to this as well as bringing people together. We sat at a table in front of the huge window, a perfect spot for people watching. I ordered the Stagioni pizza while my friend ordered the Reine, we only had to wait 5 minutes before the gadgets we were given upon ordering buzzed. This system is really simple - but it definitely works! Wine is served in unfussy tumblers and is pretty good value at £11.50 a bottle. Our pizzas were crisp and had loads of toppings, the roman style thin base makes the pizza feel lighter than its Neapolitan cousin, allowing room for a delicious Nutella and mascarpone dulce! I felt like I had been transported to Rome when I was eating at this unfussy, straightforward pizza joint. The pizzas are EXTREMELY good value and I will definitely be going back! read more

Made fresh, hot, generous with the pepperoni, decent sized pizza for the price. You place your order, get a buzzer and pick up when its ready; ample seating, beers and ciders. This is the only pizza I had in London, so I cant compare it to anything else out there but compared to US East coast pizza this was a little different. Price was right though and its right across from the kings Cross Underground station. read more

This is the second time I've been here and it's so good!! The pizzas are a decent price - especially for London! You order at the till and they give you a buzzer, when it goes off your pizza is at the collection point. And you have a range of toppings and extras to choose from. They are stone oven baked too, there's not long to wait. Also I'd recommend getting the desert pizza! It's a combination of dough, melted Nutella and mascarpone! I could literally eat them forever! I'll be coming here again! read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past but I was dying of hunger. Friend and I had the Margarita and Tropically pizza. Very thin, pretty good. read more

Two words: life saver. Studying abroad from New York, I was ecstatic to stumble upon a legit pizza joint in London, something I wasn't expecting at all. I took out from PU practically once a week, it really is that good. The pizza is thin crusted and very crispy, and the quality of the toppings is the best I've had in London so far. It really is delicious and reminiscent of home. The Classico dessert is sinful, not to mention they have gelato as well. The line is never too long and the atmosphere is always bustling yet chill, perfect for a dinner spot any day. Two thumbs up! read more

Pizza Union - Margarita and Calabria - Pizza Near Me - London, XGL

Open late(by UK standards) and had great pizza and gluten free dough! The gluten free pizza was fast, fresh and delicious. The crust was think and crispy and the sauce was relatively authentic. They serve beer and wine only, no cider or hard drinks. You could always take away. If you need a cider there is a shop directly next door and a bar across the street. Great eats for after a show or before you hit the train! read more

How have I only just discovered Pizza Union?! The decor is great, long, tiled high tables, with high ceilings and an open kitchen. Reasonably priced (£5-7) and a great selection of toppings that can be customised (Mushrooms & I do not get on, and they always seem to feature on the pizza I want, swapped them for sausage!) The bases are crispy Roman style, so can be a bit blackened around the edges. I left the very edge, and was told by the Sicilian at the table that in Sicily that would mean I didn't like the pizza, which I can assure you was very much not the case. Had the Stagioni and the flavours (along with my added sausage) worked so well. Make sure you save room for pudding, the Classico Dolce is amazing, in my opinion the best of the three (& yes, we tried them all!) If you're looking for fast, tasty pizza, look no further read more

I can't fault this at all. When awarding stars I think I have this, erm..."gut feel"...there's an algorithm that gets processed, even if I'm not entirely able to articulate it. It's something about value for deliciousness, GBP per wow-bite. And here, where the pizzas are affordable and quick and delicious...well, Pizza Union you got yourself 5 stars with that formula! I saw this concept back in the US last time I was visiting; essentially they are very quickly fired pizzas, in and out of the oven in 180 seconds. Fast turnaround, quick pizzas. What's not to love (TRICK QUESTION: NOTHING). The basic white garlic 'bread' pizza starts at 2.50 or so. I enjoyed the fiorentina today, topped with fresh spinach leaves and a whole egg. I added some chicken for 1GBP, which was not these artificial blocks of protein but looked like pulled chicken breast (great). The pizza came quickly, and I added on a 0.50 mini tub of creamy dip. Walk your pizza over to a table (there are high-tops and tables) and you can personalize further with hot chili flakes, oregano, chili oil, salt and pepper. The chili oil was totally unnecessary, but never one to shy away from gilding the lily: I went for it. It was nicely spicy. There are sweet doughs and gelato as dessert options, but I have yet to try 'em. Beer and various soft drinks as hydration options. Yelp note: no delivery (yet), but takeaway options available. Note that M-F, 12 - 2pm, the limit is 4pizzas/pp. read more

This is not a place for staying a while but the pizza comes very quick and is so delicious. Thin cracky pizza dough with great toppings. And all this for a good price. read more

You know, for a cheap bite to eat in Kings Cross, this is top quality. The pizza is very very thin crust, which is what I like, and ready very quickly. We were in and out in a half hour and that included time waiting on line to order. The only thing I didn't like is their no substitution rule, which I didn't see written anywhere. I ordered the tropicali but wanted to swap ham for chicken. Instead I had to order a margherita and add the tropicali ingredients. The pizza's cheap enough that it still cost only £5.95 total, but still. I'm fine with not being allowed to make substitutions as long as it's clear - here, it wasn't. The fiorentina was good, too. The egg was cooked just right and the spinach was fresh and tasty. Definitely one I'll be returning to. Be warned: the line can sometimes look very long, but it will move fairly quickly. read more

If you like thin crust pizza then this is a great choice in the King's Cross area. Walking in it had an understated kitschy style with most of the tables in a sharing style, long and with stools. There are a few 4 seater tables towards the back of the restaurant. All of the staff I encountered were really nice and friendly. The pizza? Well it's cheap for starters. The most expensive pizza tops out at £6.50 and is loaded with flavoursome toppings. 12" cooked fresh and with cheap drinks on the side and they're on to a winner. My only criticism is that while the service is extra speedy, which is fantastic, the artichokes on my pizza weren't cooked properly as they really needed to be roasted for longer. Apart from that (first world problems eh?) everything was absolutely delicious. There's not much in the way of sides, just olives, salads and spiced corn but they do have a few desserts which I didn't try on this occasion. Is it the best pizza in the city? I suppose it depends what you like. For me? Certainly not! But for the price and the service this is pretty good! read more

Pizza Union's second restaurant in King's Cross! Yay! Pizza's are tasty, affordable (5-7£), ultra fast and again, tasty! Tried their dessert pizza's as well and they are just lovely and great to share after the meal (for that sweet tooth :-) ). Will definitely pop in again when in the neighbourhood! Convenient as well if you're looking to take lunch back to the office! read more

This place is *very* popular with teenagers; I think there a multiple hostels nearby and this is a convenient location for their visitors to hang out. As such, it's very noisy inside. Additionally, I didn't find my meat pizza to be all that good; the chunks of chicken were huge but didn't add a positive taste to the dish. My beer and the price of the meal were to my liking. read more

Margherita: (3 stars) nice thin crust Tricolor: (4 stars) great pesto and thick pieces of cheese NOTE: Not the best pizza ever but it is cheap, fast, has good veg options, and pretty tasty read more

We visited Pizza Union around 23:00 (11pm) on a Tuesday and were extremely pleased with the freshness and quality of the food and the speed with which it was delivered. The thin crust personal (12 inch) pizzas are made right then and there in front of you and there are a variety of toppings you can add to your liking. We ordered a mushroom pizza (4.95) and a pizzeria salad (3.95) and received a buzzer that rings to indicate when the food is ready; ours rang within 10 minutes. The atmosphere was great- the spacious surroundings and indie music complemented the table designs and the overall dim, intimate atmosphere which greatly enhanced our first London fast food dining experience. There are many seating options-barstools near the window, tables in the middle (good for big groups), and booths in the back. There weren't many patrons while we were there but when we passed by the next day we noticed that the place is very popular around lunchtime and dinnertime. I truly hope that this franchise makes its way to the US. TIP: The olive oil has a kick to it- we didn't notice the giant floating red pepper inside the olive oil bottle until after we doused our salad. read more

Fantastic stone baked pizza and a beer at such a great price! Can't beat it if you're in London

We came here because of the good reviews and cheap prices. We had the margherita​ and the rossa pizzas. The crust was so very thin like a cracker. The margherita was rather bland. We much preferred the rossa. It is decent and cheap pizza. read more

London Pizza strikes again! Four stars go to Pizza Union, if anything for their incredibly fast and efficient service and price point - Though easier to find an affordable meal in London these days - the quality and ingredients are fresh and the pizza (though no Pizza Pilgrims) is great! This has become my go-to pizza place when in a rush on my own (the long tables and look out points make for decent people watching) and/or looking for fast but good takeaway with friends Don't miss their side dips and homemade baby cannolis. read more

Nice and informal place. I ordered a funghi pizza, which had nice toppings, but the dough was nothing to go crazy about. It's a small and thin pizza, so it won't fill you too much up, which is good, and the price is also low. But I can't say that the pizza I ate was any better than the pizzas I've eaten at other pizza restaurants in London. So I will probably not come back to this place, I'd rather spend a few pounds more for a better pizza at a different restaurant in London. read more

Top notch authentic stone baked pizzas at amazing prices. Could not ask for more could ya! Seriously great place to get your pizza fix, I know where I will be going next time. Buon apetite! read more

I love Pizza Union, the pizza flavours are very authentic, they taste great and are super quick. This new wave of no nonsense pizza restaurants are brilliant and Pizza Union have got it so right. It can be very busy which is a down side but it also shows it's popular. I hope they set up more throughout the country not just London. Highly recommend the Calabria, the best spicy sausage pizza in London. read more

Amazing prices, incredible taste, very simple and industrial chic design. What's not to love!

Extremely tasty and decently priced pizza near King's Cross. Pizzas are £4-6 each, and enough for one hungry person.

Very good pizza. Quick service to go at very good prices. It was a plus that they sell carry out beer as well. The pizza itself was thin crust which reminded me of the pizza I've had before in Italy. Good place to eat if you're rushing for time and have tried all the London traditional places. read more

Very convenient and great place to grab a quick bite. Food is extremely affordable for London - a margarita pizza is under four pounds. Highly recommend read more

Cheap, delicious pizza. Lots of menu options, fresh ingredients, and a pizza big enough you can hardly finish it in one sitting (or split into two meals) for only £6! read more

The stars go for the speed of service and the damage control on your bank account. The pizzas here are pretty cheap, especially for London! But then you get what you pay for, taste wise it isn't bad at all, just not the best either. I'll admit I'm fussy about my pizza, having lived in Italy for nearly 2 years, paying as little as €2 for insanely amazing pizza, my tastebuds know the difference between average and phenomenal, and Pizza Union at best is just a little over average. read more

Good pizzas! Quite a que to order. But the que was there for a reason. The pizzas are just like I perfer them.

This is mine and my wife's favourite pizza place in London by far, thin crust healthy potions of toppings all at a very good price, no wonder it's always got good atmosphere. read more

Atmosphere is great and toppings are fantastic. I wasn't a fan of the crust. Tastes very bland and the texture was off.

A nice place for a quick meal. I especially like their systems for taking orders. Very quick and efficient. The pizzas are quite bit and at a reasonable price. read more

Very good and excellent for its price. However, WARNING they do not cut their pizza well at all!

Best pizza I had in London so far! Perfect for hungry pizza lovers around King's Cross. Delicious thin and crispy base with more than 15 different types of pizzas, salads and amazing desserts Affordable prices and a friendly staff will add to an overall great meal. Highly recommended! read more

When I first pulled up the menu and looked at the prices, I thought it was too good to be true. I figured it had to be a gross takeaway place, and wondered why my foodie friend had suggested it. I was honestly taken by surprise about nearly everything in the restaurant. I have been in the area quite a few times, just by King's Cross station, even just across the street at Big Chill House, but never noticed PIzza Union. Even though it's a no booking place, the vibe is a cool warehouse chic, and on Sunday evening it was not hard to find a free table, and there was no queue to order, either. It didn't take long for the food to be ready, and we received a buzzer upon ordering that went off when the food was ready. All pizzas are under £6.50. We also ordered a few of the salads, though they are particularly rocket heavy and lacking in dressing, so I wouldn't particularly recommend those. The pizzas are thin crust, but substantial enough for one person. I like the simplicity of the operation and the price cannot be beat. read more
