Great pizza great pasts, BUT a bottle of mineral water with the top removed before it was brought to the table, the water was also warm not chilled? Two glasses straight from the dishwasher, they were so hot the ice melted before we could pour any water into them? read more

I like to pop in for a lunch when I'm in the city. Sadly it is merely often enough but every time it is an experience worth the long way :) Beautiful food that is even better then the one you get in Greece:) read more

The earth burnt to a crisp, then the ice age came, then we got our food. Honestly, 30 minutes for a caprese salad with 4 chefs, two waitresses and 6 tables? Food was good though, thankfully. read more

I do like this place. Okay, maybe I don't like how busy it inevitably gets at lunchtime given its prime location for shoppers and office workers. But that in itself is testament to its winning formula of competently cooked pizzas (with extra points for rolling the dough in semolina, which gives their bases a crispier texture) and pasta dishes, excellent and friendly service and a pleasant decor. Most of all though I like the positive vibe exuded by the staff: unlike many other restaurants one gets the feeling that the staff here like their jobs and that there is a good 'team feeling' at this Zizzis. I'm almost willing to patronise this restaurant for this reason alone. Recommended. read more

Decent food, fun atmosphere, children friendly, reasonable prices, and good service. We enjoyed our meal.

Not the best. It was our last night in London and we just wanted to eat something quick and easy so we came upon this place, which seemed to serve decent Italian food. The food was only OK. We ordered the arancini, which was not the best and the tomato dip was SO cold. My boyfriend ordered the Rustica Pizza Sofia, which was not bad. I ordered the Penne Della Casa, which is a penne with chicken and creamy mushroom sauce, which had absolutely NO FLAVOR. I had to add a good amount of salt and pepper to make it taste somewhat decent. The service was subpar - our waitress at first was pretty friendly but then she disappeared for our entire meal and no one came to check up on us at all. My boyfriend asked another waiter for some more water and it never came until we asked again. And when we asked again, the waiter had attitude and was like "I'm bringing it to you now!" I definitely would not return to this establishment as the service and food weren't great. There are much better places to eat. read more

Pizza was undercooked - not raw - but definitely not crisp like the pizza next to us. The garlic bread was unique in that it was basically pizza dough / flat bread with garlic smeared on it and mozzarella loaded in the middle. Not what I was hoping in pizza. read more

Poor service (even for London), food was okay but portions were skimpy. Didn't really enjoy it much but it has a good location.

We were in London last week and just happened to find the Zizzi's Italian Restaurant nearest Victoria Station. We had never heard of this chain and thought it was just an individually owned restaurant. We had marinated olives as we placed our order and shared some great Italian wine. Our waiter Francesco made the evening to be very enjoyable. He was very personable and friendly and we enjoyed chatting with him. I had the chicken breast covered with pesto and my wife had the pizza, both of which were excellent. We returned two nights later for dinner because of our wonderful experience. I would recommend it. read more

One star is too good for this restaurant. The worst restaurante ever in London. Extremely unfriendly staff and even he seemed like a racist. He treated us really bad, almost throw the drinks we ordered, after ignoring our call on purpose numerous times. The linguine and risotto were worse than frozen junk food. read more

It wasn't the best I've had or the worst I've endured, so it gets three stars. It was packed in this place so our server who was pretty good in my opinion held it together as best he could while being personable which is ever so important to me. My pizza was delightful but my friends meal was inedible, unfortunately the server didn't notice she wasn't eating it until he came to take the plates away and wasn't able to offer her a replacement meal, he did take it off the bill but she was still hungry and had to get a cornetto on the way home. ICE CREAM for dinner, we are in our 30's by the way. Not sure I'd go back, so many other options and so little time. read more

Very busy restaurant with nice staff, great cocktails and tasty food. Wish we had it at home too ...

Great service, drinks and food. We really enjoyed a nice meal after a hot and tiring day touring the sites in London.

Italian restaurant with just so-so food that is overpriced. Pasta soft, flavors ok, meager on the meat, overall nothing special. My teen son and I could have produced our meal without a whole lot of trouble and we're not cooks or Italian. read more

Visited London with our public broadcasting station's group to tour #HighclereCastle-stayed at the historic Rubens at the Palace. Found ourselves wandering (and hungry) late one evening. Fortunately we stumbled upon this delightful and delicious restaurant, Zizzi, with wood-fired oven-baked pizza. The wine, the service, the atmosphere, the food...all perfection! So much so that we've planned a return trip to London and included Zizzi's for dinner! read more

I popped in for a late dinner. The service is very good and attentive. But when it came down to the food. I had the first pasta dish which was sort of a rustics chicken pasta dish. It was fantastic, tasty, and spicey! I wish this chain existed in the states read more

This is a nice place for a casual lunch if you are in the vicinity of Buckingham Palace.

My new fiancé and I visited Zizzi for dinner in July '13 during a walk back to our hotel in Westminster from Harrods Department Store. It was packed on the inside as well as in their outside seating, where we waited just a few minutes to be seated. I loved the outside seating because of the view of Westminster Cathedral across the street at sunset. We ordered cheesy garlic bread & calamari as appetizers and a ravioli di capra dish and lasagna dish for our meals. The food was wonderful though it took some time to come out, likely because of the number of people being served. The Peroni wasn't very cold, neither were the waters we asked for. We figured that may be a British custom, so we didn't think anything of it. All in all the place was wonderful. Great food, great relaxed ambiance and wonderful energy, and that's all I can ask for. I'd certainly visit again. Visited July 2013 read more

Nothing special. Solid but unexceptional. Akin to a California Pizza Kitchen, if you're familiar with that US chain. Service not attentive. One dish in our order was incorrect. read more

Me and my boys were waiting for 10 minute before someone attended us. Such bad services.

Ate here last weekend the place was busy and had a good feel to it. My pizza was excellent while my wifes pasta was a little oily. I think the pesto caused that. Otherwise good wine list, very friendly waiter and manager, good toilets. Would recommend. read more

Excellent atmosphere, food, and location. Highly recommend reservations due to the proximity to the theater district. Will definitely turn. read more

We took our three boys here (ages 9, 7, and 7). The food was very good for us and them. Our boys said we should rate it 5 stars.

Was out for a night to see wicked the show and need a nice place to eat good food. Italian was my choose and zizzi delivered. Food was of high quality and service was quick and polite. A little pricey than I would normally do, but for sure worth it. read more

Zizzzi's Cardinal Place, The Worst service in town, don't ever go there. Just left the table for its appallingly horrible service. Sat at table for good 15mins, couple next over served before me whilst looking at menu, immediately after they were sat. Finally when waiter came he says "usually we know you're ready to order if you have your menu closed" in a very rude, patronizing manner. Next table over was a white couple, me, an Asian female. Racist, sexist restaurant at its best. Never again. #zizzi #worstserviceever #neveragain read more

Busy busy busy and well understood due to the excellent food. Waiters were trying desperately to keep customers pleased and it worked. We'd eat there again without hesitation! read more

Our server was horrible and rude.... I think the food was over priced for the quality and value.. you can only make pizza so "fancy" before it's just not worth what you bring out.. Wouldn't recommend.. read more

Thanks to the clever restaurant manager Marzena who made our way. When we just got in a waitress gave 2 kid's fun art papers to our two pupils. As we didn't realise that these are the kids menu at the same time, we had to choose from the regular menu. We are not warned that they have kids menu that time either. At last we recognised that there was a kids menu, we complained about not being warned at the time of navigating for kids through the regular menu asking many questions.Finally the manager came and touched our table with her magic stick, changed our choices with the "kids" ones, we spent less, ate well, gratefully... read more

Great place for lunch. Shared a large antipasti plate, Zappa do fagioli and Arancini. Enjoyed a Menabrea Italian beer, which was perfect with the meal. Busy place with good energy. read more

This restaurant is ideally situated opposite Victoria Train Station so we frequent often as we meet friends there when coming into London. The food is decent, the pino grigo blush is exceptional and the place is always busy. We've been here before going to see a show and despite not booking,the place being hectically busy and ors being a large crowd the staff went out of their way to serve us as quickly as possible, offered us some laughs and generally made us enjoy our night! read more

I cant believe no-one's reviewed Zizzi yet! Its a popular chain and there are few in London alone but others across the country. I really enjoy the bruschetta and linguini gamberi. They also do very tasty risottos- not cardboardy like in some places but really full of flavour. I tend to order a tiramisu whenever i go. its my one treat of the month! i often go with friends and family and i would recommend people try this place out. This branch is good, i know the staff by name and they always stop and chat with me which is what i really like about zizzis.. its the personal touch. read more

Just finished dinner and walk by, saw the menu and decided to order pizza to take out for snack, this turn out to be the best experience ever(maybe because our dinner was not so good ). We had picanate? The spicy one, both my wife and me agree it was our best pizza ever! We love the spicy sauce so much and we actualy competing during the meal:) Will come back for more! read more

zizzi's margarita with pepperoni was brilliant i think this is the best Italian restaurant ever not to mention the pudding it was great.
