Zia Lucia in Islington

I ordered from this place via Deliveroo and the pizza was some of the best that I have ever had! It arrived so quickly and the flavour of the pizza was insanely good. Everything tasted extremely fresh! I will have to make an in person visit next ;)

Everything was amazing! Connor was a star and me and the girls had a lovely lunch together after University!

That was amazing 🤩 loved the pizza. Connor waiter was super cool and easygoing. Thanks a lot

Pizza is just difficult to get wrong and reviewing one can only mean it may be slightly better than others but ZiaLucia has got it much better than my favourites! Service is great, fast! You can see these guys working around the oven amazingly!

What a brilliant restaurant! I would highly recommend. We popped in with our son for a quick lunch on a Saturday and we were served by Jacopo. He was great, offered great recommendations with the food and wine, our son really liked him too and he made a fuss of him, an asset to Zia Lucia. We will definitely return!

Fantastic, we shall be coming back soon!

Amazing service - amazing food - you can’t go wrong! Extra bonus if you’re being served by Jacopo!!!

Wonderful visit! Tasty pizza and pasta. Big thank you to Diana for a great service!

Pizza is very good and light! Customer service is beautiful in particular Irene Who always makes sure you are happy. Thank you!

Sadly Iv given this place multiple opportunities over the last ten years and they just haven’t got it right. They also only offer pork as a meat topping. Pizzas are made with zero love or attention, cheese never completely melted, toppings just slide off. Service isn’t great either. All smiles when things are good but not so much when issues arise. Not great for me.

Excellent food and service! Best Italian we’ve had in a while!

We had the most delicious meal here! Flavours were perfectly balanced. Highly recommend the truffle pasta!

Great food, gorgeous space, lovely staff and dog-friendly too! I love it here - and especially the black pizza base parmigiana. Yum!

Excellent service, Jacopo in particular was very polite and efficient. Food was delicious.

Great food! Great service by Jacopo

I’ve been going to Zia Lucia in Islington for the past 10 years, and it has always been my go-to place for the best pizza. Unfortunately, today’s experience was a complete letdown. The dough was raw and utterly inedible—nowhere near the standard I’ve come to expect. The parmigiana pizza also looked completely different from what I remember: overloaded with cheese, barely any aubergines, and, as mentioned, a terrible dough. In 40 years of life, I have never left a pizza on my plate—not even when it was less than perfect. But today, for the first time, I simply couldn’t eat it. It’s genuinely disappointing to leave this review, but a place with Zia Lucia’s reputation cannot afford to have poorly skilled pizza chefs. Consistency is key, and standards must always remain high. Sadly, I won’t be returning to the Islington branch—I’m honestly traumatised. I may still give the other branches a chance, hoping they maintain the quality that once made Zia Lucia exceptional.

Great service. The guys here are always smiling and very available. The pizza is the best I have eaten in London, I would say like in Italy, and wine has great price-qualility balance. Jacopo is easy going and professional waiter, always focus on customers needs. It was a business dinner, next time I will there with my girlfriend. 👍🙂

Jacobo was an excellent waiter, and the food was excellent as ever! Grazie!

The pizza was delicious and cooked perfectly. The waiter Jacob was very welcoming when we came in and his service was very speedy. He offered us a second drink and desserts.

Had a lovely meal here, food was delicious and the cocktails were amazing! Staff were really friendly and helpful with recommendations too! Will be revisiting!

Love food and great atmosphere. Manager was lovely and Jacopo waiter was very attentive. Will be coming back again soon.

Moon was fantastic. So personable, friendly, warm and knowledgeable. She made our experience at Zia Lucia amazing. Zia Lucia is lucky to have her.

Diana is friendly and the food is delicious

Great food - perfect for a pre-match meal. We had a warm welcome, and the food was delicious (I can recommend the fettuccine beef ragu). We will be back.

Great pizza, attentive service.

We had a wonderful time celebrating a friend’s birthday. All the staff were friendly and attentive. Connor was super helpful and arranged a great birthday cake dessert assortment with candles - thank you! Both the pasta and the pizza were amazing - great local spot and perfect for a bigger group too👌

Connor was great and so helpful! Food was great!

Busy match day, family of 5 hungry gooners ready to watch arsenal batter real!!! Excellent service and lovely team, food was fantastic! Thank you Jacopo for looking after us!! The Saltykovas

Connor was really helpful with modifying the pizza for individual requirements

A great experience. The pizza is delicious. Jacopo Bretti is very welcoming.

Had a great night at Zia Lucia Islington. Your man Jacobo provided us with the best service. The food was great and Jacobo was even better! Get yourselves here. Cheers, Roger x

I already went to other branches of Zia Lucia but this one's service and atmosphere beat them all! Thanks to Jacopo Pretti for his friendly, charismatic, and warm service! We felt really welcomed and it made the night a better experience. He even took two beautiful polaroids for my friend and I!

Very nice pizzas and amazing service from Connor!

Thank you to Diana who made our evening immaculate ! Great service, friendly and warm atmosphere .... what a beautiful evening 🥰pizzas were delicious ... And Diana made sure we ended our evening with a sweet and sour ending :)) limoncello 🤩will be back soon ...

Very good quality pizza for a reasonable price, service was very quick and our waiter Connor was amazing! Very friendly and helpful

Diana was lovely - the food was delicious.

A lovely evening dinner . Pizzas are as always delicious and the service was extraordinarily friendly and good. Thank you Diana !

Great pizza and Jacopo was very attentive

Fantastic pizzas and a great service from Connor

Incredibly good vibes and inviting staff, beautiful warm atmosphere giving you the feeling that you don't just have to finish your food and leave the place, but the place welcomes you to stay. A personal favourite was Jacopo, for constantly reassuring with us if we're doing okay, if we need anything else, as well as any recommendations on what we might be unsure about. Next time I come I'll definitely ask for him to serve me again!

Great food, great price! Jacopo was a great waiter!

Delicious pizza, our server Lucia was lovely.

Best gluten free bar ever. Lucia (waitress not the owner) was brilliant!

Lucia was a wonderful server tonight, we will definitely be coming back!

Delicious pizza with a twist. Excellent service, delivered by Conner.

Went there after the Arsenal game with two children and was lucky to find a table. The team is super friendly and professional. The pizzas are among the best in London—loaded with toppings. We ordered two kids' meals, and the great thing is that you're not just limited to the usual margarita or pepperoni like in most places. My son opted for a ham kids' pizza, while I had a scrumptious smoky burrata one. Would definitely go back when in the area!

Amazing pizza and amazing service by Connor :-)

Food was perfect. Picante was perfect. Connor was more than perfect. Would recommend.

Ordenó la pizza Parma - gran calidad realmente lo disfrutó. También tenía una mula Milano que era fantástico! ¡Recomendaría!

Great pizza, Connor was the best!

Very friendly staff (especially Conor)! Delicious pizza. Warm and cozy atmosphere. Awesome vibes

I have to recommend the ariana sbagliata charcoal base, croquettes and courgette fries - TO DIE FOR! The staff were equally amazing, attentive and thoughtful as well as the manager, Connor. Such a lovely man, can’t wait to come back!

Best experience & pizza I've had in London for sure

This guys don’t look for driver my was ready 30 mim ago and i need wait 10 mim just for collect ? Is a jouke ?

The best pizza I have ever had in the world! The pizza tasted amazing! Made with unique spices and fresh ingredients. I came there alone and had their most popular pizza, thought I would take away and share with friends but I finished the whole thing! Definitely worth trying their pasta & desserts with friends next time! Service and environment are also very good, not feeling lonely at all.

Gran ubicación + servicio cálido! Probé su pizza más popular, hecha con ingredientes frescos y deliciosas especias. Terminé todo el asunto por mí mismo y sin duda vale la pena volver con amigos! ¡La mejor pizza que he probado hasta ahora!

Friendly service, amazing pizzas.

Nice place with good service. Fantastic pizza and pasta.

I was travelling and had a stop in Holloway looking for a place that had gluten free food, and jumped in Zia Lucia's restaurant. The staff was very kind even tho the place was fully booked and busy (football match). I asked for gluten free options (as they show on their menu online/ google ) but the lady told me that the gluten free pizzas and pastas are cooked in the same oven and pan as non gluten free... which was a bit sad since Celiac/Gluten Free it's an illness that needs to be taken very seriously and not as a fashion trend. Gluten free food must be cooked in seperate pans or ovens if you're allergic or intolerant...and the point of my review is because more often (we) Celiac people adapt to measures that are risky for our health just because we're in company of friends or don't want to be too picky, but we need to in order to make restaurant aware of the illness. Apart from that seems a really nice place to eat in; the staff, again, was very nice, and i would recommend it if you're around that area. Please take it as a constructive criticism to upgrade :) After reading your reply: this makes me realize that you don't take the illness seriously and professionally because maybe you get costumers that decide to not care about contamination. Gluten free food has to be cooked in separate areas. So if your place can't have an area for gluten free simply don't put the news online and make money on that.

Went with the recommendations from Connor, our fantastic waiter, and we weren't disappointed. Great pizzas and great service. We'll definitely be back.

Connor was a great host, very helpful and friendly. Like the new dessert menu too!

Delicious food, must try the charcoal pizza base!

Great place and service. Connor was very friendly.

Great pizzas! Thank you Irene for making us feel at home :)

Arrived cold and late. Delivery person stopped for over ten minutes en route. Not good at all.

Very nice and welcoming staff, excellent food

Amazing food and Great service from Connor

Food was excellent and came very quickly! Connor was a great server!

The experience and the pizza was really good and Connor was amazing!!! We love it 🤍

Service is really good and food is delicious

The pizza was delicious and generously topped … lovely base and the sides were great too 👍👍

Our family had 4 pizzas (2 GF, 2 Traditional base). The Gluten Free pizza is the best quality anywhere. Have tried lots before at other "similar" small chain and chain pizza places; these are miles ahead of the pack. Next level taste and texture - As for the traditional (gluten) pizza these were amazing too, just like being in Italy (we had a blanco style with red onion, mushrooms and olives) - perfect. Customer service also absolutely wonderful, friendly, polite, helpful. I would highly, highly recommend Zia Lucia Islington branch.

Gran pizza, servicio amable y buen ambiente. Muy recomendable! Estoy deseando volver pronto... .

Very welcoming and accommodating for a big family birthday gathering. Food very delicious! Great atmosphere. Thank you!!

Great pizza and overall dinner thanks to chef Alex!

Thanks Connor - ‘twas fabulous, as were you!!!

Lovely place, all the staff are very friendly and helpful. Connor took my order and explained everything very well. Will definitely come back for more take aways and sit ins. Best take away pizza!

Great service! Thank you Connor!

Connor was great! Very quick and tasty!!! Recommend!

Miss D served us. Food always excellent. Highly recommend. Just need Arsenal to beat United today and it’s then 100% a brilliant day

Always great here! The pizzas are killer and today was no exception…even though it was a match day and busy! Service was great, Moon was super nice, helpful and speedy! Thanks team! 🙏🏻

Connar was really friendly, service exceptionally quick

Connor looked after us well. Superb!

Food was good and the service was friendly.

Great food, great service from Connor!

The whole experience was great, especially Connor’s service

Would thoroughly recommend! Best Pizza, in my humble pie, of London. Connor serves the sauce.

The best gluten free pizza this side of the English channel

Gran comida, gran camarero - nos habló sobre el origen de la comida y recetas italianas! Mi pareja es intolerante al gluten y su pizza era fantástica

Zia Lucia in Islington is an absolute gem! I visited last week and had the ROBERTO & DINO BAGGIO pizza—it was incredible! The crust was perfectly cooked, and the flavors were spot on. Every time I visit, the pizzas are always fresh, delicious, and made with high-quality ingredients. I’ve also tried their pasta and desserts on previous visits, and they never disappoint. This is a classic Italian pizza spot that truly delivers an authentic experience. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it even better. Highly recommend Zia Lucia for anyone looking for amazing pizza and Italian comfort food in Islington! 🍕🇮🇹

Zia Lucia en Islington es una joya absoluta! Lo visité la semana pasada y comí la pizza ROBERTO & DINO BAGGIO, ¡fue increíble! La corteza estaba perfectamente cocida, y los sabores estaban manchados. Cada vez que visito, las pizzas son siempre frescas, deliciosas y hechas con ingredientes de alta calidad. También he probado sus pastas y postres en visitas anteriores, y nunca decepcionan. Este es un clásico lugar de pizza italiana que realmente ofrece una experiencia auténtica. El ambiente acogedor y el personal amable lo hacen aún mejor. ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente Zia Lucia para cualquiera que busque pizza increíble y comida reconfortante italiana en Islington!

Very italian pizza's +pasta. Got to go back try rest of menu

No aceptan efectivo y yo solo uso efectivo. . muy decepcionante ser penalizado por no poder pagar con una moneda legal

Only had cash on me so couldn't buy anything.

Walked out when I found out they do not take cash, supporters of the freedom crushing CBDC system, avoid like the plague if you value your freedom

Don't accept cash so I kept walking until I found an establishment that did.

Wanted to go here for a while only to discover they don't accept cash? Such a let down from what seemed like a nice place, any business that doesn't accept cash obviously doesn't care about their customers so I certainly won't be going back any time soon

Nice pizzeria in Holloway road. I found it as a a hidden gem. Without reservation is almost impossible to find a table here, but better to book a table in advance. The waitress was so polite and friendly. We didnt need to wait for long to get our food. The pizzas were amazing, the dough is perfect and I love every bite of it. Highly recommended place!!!
