Pizza Express 24 New Globe Walk, London SE1 9DS

"How lovely it was to visit the Bankside branch of Pizza Express. Situated on the Thames by The Globe Theatre, this restaurant boasts stunning views of St. Paul's Cathedral and other London landmarks. Quality of food: 17/20 A fine example of Pollo Pesto with no mushrooms. The dough balls were mouth-watering and the Coppa Gelato was a fine consistency. Atmosphere: 20/20 The location and ambiance were outstanding. I loved the riverside views and the low ceiling added an intimate but not a claustrophobic atmosphere. The posh bar, beautiful reception and stairwell were stunning, giving one the impression of being in an expensive hotel lobby. Staff friendliness and efficiency: 17/20 Our waitress was lovely and very friendly. This was a busy branch but the wonderful, relaxed atmosphere made us want to prolong the experience. Cleanliness: 18/20 The overall cleanliness of the restaurant was of a high standard. It was a pleasure to visit the upstairs lavatory as it meant walking through the reception area and up the beautiful stairwell to see stunning views across London. Overall enjoyment: 18/20 A marvellous experience! Final Score: 90/100 (A/A*) Excellent/Outstanding Next stop: Barnes branch."

"Very nice experience. The pizza that I choose was so yummy ! The waiter is super kind and helpful. It’s a very good place, the interior is so beautiful and chill. Also, I liked the playlist :) And nice bathrooms by the way !"

"The staff is friendly, once you are in, they offer you a table upstairs, or out front cuz the restaurant have a mini terrace, I tried the calzone and the Margerita pizza. Both were ok. Price the standard. Good option to have something quick to eat."

"Pleasant staff, excellent location immediately next to the Globe Theater. I ordered off-menu without any fuss. I enjoyed myself thoroughly. Also, the view from their terrace along the river is amazing."

"Been to many pizza express restaurants and will rate the visit here as excellent. Visited during October term time, with my daughter, a friend and her two children. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable of menu. The the first time, (in a long time) all items were available. I ordered the vegan power salad which was packed with different fresh vegetables and couscous. Children had the kids menu, which is always good value and my daughter enjoys. My friend had a chicken topped pizza, which she said was delicious. Kids had 'fruit&veg' rainbow ice-lollies for dessert while my friend and I both had salted carmel & popcorn cheese cake. It was perfect. I would happily return to this pizza express restaurant as the views of the Thames and iconic buildings are amazing. We were sitted downstairs so next visit I would definitely reserve a table upstairs!"
