Was in the area for work and decided on Zizzi. Walked in with no reservation and was immediately accommodated and give a great table outside by the river. Food was good and staff very friendly. Will certainly give Zizzi another visit.

Updated Review: From 5 Stars to 1 I’m a regular customer and used to really enjoy coming to Zizzi — the pizza is genuinely good. However, I’m updating my previous 5-star review to 1 star because this is the second time I’ve had the same disappointing experience. I came in at 7:45pm and asked to sit outside. There were clearly free tables and people still dining outside, but I was told I couldn’t be seated there because they were “starting to close.” The restaurant doesn’t close for another 2 hours+. It simply makes no sense. It’s extremely frustrating to be turned away like this while others are still being served outdoors. This kind of attitude drives people away instead of making them feel welcome. Good food alone isn’t enough. If the policy is to discourage customers instead of accommodating them, then sadly, Zizzi no longer deserves our business.

From the get go, our server Claudio was EXCELLENT! My partner is Coeliac intolerant and we always struggle to find anywhere to eat because of gluten containing foods. Claudio was on the money with everything. She was very efficient in her work and made the experience very warming. My kids had an amazing time and so did my partner. Would defiantly visit again to this establishment. 5 star service, food was brilliant!

We went for Sunday lunch at this branch of Zizzi and we enjoyed it very much. The staff were very attentive and quick, and nothing seemed to be too much trouble, they even brought a spoon in a matter of seconds after I dropped mine (like a Michelin level establishments!). The food came quickly and it was fresh and tasty . All around very pleasant experience. Thank you team Zizzi 🙏🏻

He was attentive but not overly pushy and this allowed us to enjoy our meal at our own pace. He was extremely polite and it was a pleasure to have him look after us. We had the set menu and the choice was very good, plenty on there for a set menu.

Food was really nice as were the drinks. The waitress was pleasant. Issues around it advertising sign up and get free garlic bread, to find that is not available for almost a month. Was advised the 30% was before 5pm but upon checking found it was all day, so did get the discount in the end, but shouldn’t be this difficult. Overall it was nice but not spectacular.

We had an early Saturday lunch for six - booked for Noon. We were seated quickly and our orders were taken quickly, but the food was slow in coming (main course approx 45 minutes from arriving and without having starters). The adult main courses were all very enjoyable (3 pizzas and one spaghetti carbonara with added chicken). We went 'large' for the 2 children's meals (aged 8 and 5), but whilst the pasta dish was a decent size the child's large pizza was surprisingly small - so small we thought it must be the small version and we had to top it up with pizza slices from the adult pizzas. Adult desserts were disappointing (tiramisu and millionaire doughnuts) for the prices charged. The Strawberry lemonade was also very disappointing with a lot more ice than liquid in the tumbler. Staff were nice and particularly good with the children (e.g. getting down to their levels to take their orders). In all honesty, Wildwood and Zizzi's both offer better value children's meals.

Our go-to place in the town centre. We have come here over the past few years quite a few times, with its convenient location for Heathrow coach, railway station and for a number of local buses too; nice staff, clean interior, cozy ambience with Mozart, jazz; excellent staff, food and coffee. Always a pleasure to relax here.
