Disappointing service. We were rushed through the meal. On three separate occasions we had to ask for our unfinished garlic bread not to be taken away. I was still putting my ice-cream spoon down when the waitress grabbed the bowl to clear it away. At the end, it is was very pressurising to be talked through the "optional tipping" procedure while the waitress leaned over us and watched. We won't be returning.

Came down from Scotland and had been travelling all day to Norwich, when we got in the city with the record braking weather for the year we where more than happy to have zizzis in the center of the city. At the same time felt like you where in Italy. Although food wasn't 100% the waitress and manager where more than excellent at making sure we left happy, which we did. Would recommend for people stopping for refreshments or food in the city center was lovely staff and food.

5 Stars I had a fantastic takeaway from Zizzi! Simona and Rafik made the whole experience so special — they were both so welcoming and friendly when I collected my order. The food was hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. You could really tell they cared about getting everything just right. Thanks to Simona and Rafik for making a simple takeaway feel like a real treat. Highly recommend!

Such friendly and welcoming staff creating a lovely atmosphere to be a patron of. I'm always impressed every time I go to Zizzi's, they always exceed my expectations for a fantastic meal out, both with the vibes and the food/drink. Extra shout out to the lovely waitress who had some bad luck with drinks she was bringing over (happens to the best of us) and then surprised us with a discount on our meal! Our night was brilliant and that was the cherry on top. We will always return to Zizzis.

First visit last night with family and friends. There was 18 of us so pre-orders were totally necessary. We were made to feel very welcome, nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were super helpful and friendly. Given how many of us there was food and drinks were served promptly. The food was superb (hats off to chef and team). We had a wonderful evening in a lovely setting. The ambience was lovely, the decor and cleanliness was spot on. The team are an asset to this lovely restaurant. Lived in Norwich and never visited this restaurant before. We will most certainly return 😍

My family and I took a trip to zozi we hadn't been before and were very excited. Unfortunately the cleanliness of outside wasn't pleasant with cigarette ends on the floor. While we were eating our starters our mains came out which wasn't particularly nice as we hadn't finished. The food on the other hand was fantastic. When we spoke to a waiter about our concerns he straight away went to get the manager for us. His name is rafik and frankly I don't think I have met a more gracious and helpful individual, he and our waiter Charlie ensured the rest of our meal was absolutely fantastic. It is hard for our family to get out as we are disabled and it is a shame when stiff isn't perfect so I'm so happy with the supper that we got. We shall be going back. Thankyou so much to Rafik and Charlie for all your help. In summery... Amazing food, very kind and attentive staff and... Brilliant coffee

Disappointing lunch. We have eaten in other Zizzi restaurants so thought this would be a good place to meet family for lunch. The staff were friendly and welcoming, Whilst the food was okay for the majority of us, my daughter had the pesto risotto with salmon and this was not good, it was small, bland and the salmon was tasteless. Our main issue, however, was the cleanliness. The menus were dirty and had food on them, the wall next to our table was splattered with food and the over all feel was tried and run down. Unfortunately we will not be back.

Once upon a time a restaurant would come round with the parmesan or other hard cheese to add. Sadly restaurants like this have got lazy and just whack it on whether you like it or not. We don't. And it wasn't mentioned on the menu. Easily remedied but they make it sound like they're doing you a big favour remaking it for nothing. Otherwise food and service was OK. Would return. Particularly liked the salmon risotto with hanging prawn kebab.

A pleasant enough environment, very convenient for the Cathedral. Four of our party of five ordered pizza, which was very tasty. My daughter ordered lasagne, it's advertised as 6 layer. There was only one layer of pasta and it was such a measly portion. Being only 14, it was enough for her at lunchtime, but an adult would be likely to be left feeling hungry. We spoke to the manager who said it was definitely 6 layers - it wasn't - and offered something else but my daughter didn't want another dish. For £16.95 it really isn't good value. We will visit Zizzi again but won't order lasagne!

The food is just poor. Not awful I-can't-eat-this bad but not good enough to justify the price. They need a new pizza chef - the dough is stodgy and hard where it should be chewy and stretchy. Maybe low quality ingredients rather than bad cooking, who knows. Soft drinks ('refreshers' and 'coolers') taste like children's weak squash. Everything is just a poor man's version of the real thing. İt was disappointing, but the enraging thing was a small metal tin half-filled with shop bought frozen fries - for £4.85!! The one bright spot was the staff, who were extremely polite. I had no idea it was a chain, thought a genuine Italian, but will avoid all Zizzis from now on 🙄

Placed on order for 2045 delivery at midday, still not here at 2210, after constantly ringing, got told it would be leaving in next 5-10 mins at 2145. Still potentially could be up to 2235! I drove to the restaurant which was about 3 miles from my address, when I turned up there our order hadn’t even been started! Was in the restaurant at 2245, our order hadn’t even been started! I was raging at this point as we have to plan stuff with meals as my wife has hypoglycaemia and her levels started to drop. Will never order delivery from here again and would highly recommend no one does either, order thrown together so food not as nice as it usually is. Thank you Zizi’s Norwich for successfully ruining our Valentines night!!

We unfortunately booked Zizzi's for valentines day, our table was booked for 20:00, and the booking stated we had the table until 21:00. On arrival we joined a queue of about 10 other couple who all had the same booking time, and the restaurant was absolutely packed, meaning there was no where for us to go. We eventually got a table, and could hear people asking staff how long their food was going to be. The menu was set at 3 courses and, although the food tasted lovely, the waits were ridiculous. Our mains arrived at 22:15 and we finally left around 23:00 (booking stated we had to leave by 21:00). The atmosphere by the end just felt horrible, looking around to see other unhappy couples and hearing the conversations of how long they had been waiting. The floor staff were very apologetic, and our waitress Martha was amazing and worked soo hard all night through the chaos, but it felt seriously unfair this pressure fell on them. It was clearly a management problem and managers should have been coming round to each table explaining the situation and offering some form of apology and compensation but this never happened. We had to instead ask what was happening, and we were then grateful when they offered to deduct an item off our bill (we do think this should have been offered to everyone). I wouldn't recommend booking this restaurant for any sort of public holiday/occasion.

I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Laurence at Zizzi’s Pizza, and I cannot praise him enough! From the moment we walked in, he made us feel incredibly welcome with his warm and friendly demeanor. His attentiveness and professionalism were outstanding—always checking in to ensure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Laurence’s passion for great service truly shined through, making our Valentine’s Day special. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond with such genuine way , but Laurence did just that. If you’re dining at Zizzi’s, I highly recommend asking for Laurence—he’s an absolute star and turns a simple meal into a memorable experience. Thank you, Laurence, for your amazing hospitality! We’ll definitely be back.

Food order accepted at 17:30, finally delivered at 21:30, pasta was very claggy, fries were hard, most likely due to sitting under a heater whilst awaiting courier, not an enjoyable meal at all. Contacted restaurant after 3 hours of waiting and our order was ready but had been awaiting a courier and we were unable to cancel order as restaurant had prepared meal so would have incurred full charge.

Sorry to say once again disappointed with the main course. The starter of garlic bread was fine tasty and hot. The main course though was not good. My pizza was quite cool and not much topping for the price. My husband had a pizza with king prawns and all I can saw they seemed very small for king prawns again not good value for the price. I unfortunately can't see us returning. A shame because it used to be a lot better.

I’ve been both for lunch and dinner on different occasions, both pre-theatre, and enjoyed both experiences very much. Friendly service in a pleasant airy space excellently sited near the Norwich market and close to most other major attractions. The Norwich Theatre Royal was less than 5 minute walk away. The food, both from the evening and lunch time menus was excellent. I’ll definitely be back again.

I would give less stars if i was only judging the food. The pasta was four times over cooked. But I didn’t care because I had a great time. Due to Jack our server… (and we used our Clubcard points) Recognised this guy from his previous Italian job … Lucky to have had such great service in both establishments from Jack. He shares expertise and passion for the food whilst maintaining loyalty to the brand. What a gem. He should have his own place, for sure.
