Pizza Express South Kensington is at 88 Cromwell Road, close to Gloucester Road station and the museums of Albertopolis. The restaurant occupies a handsome Georgian building that previously housed a bank. Tan leather seating, oak parquet flooring and artwork inspired by currency and natural history create a polished but relaxed place for lunch or dinner.
Pizza remains the centre of the menu, with classic bases joined by the larger, thinner and crispier Romana style. Tomato, mozzarella, vegetables, cured meats, chicken and spicy toppings cover familiar favourites and newer seasonal combinations. Diners can personalise many pizzas, choose a lighter Leggera format or select a gluten free base where available.
The well known Dough Balls arrive with garlic butter and can also appear in seasonal variations. Olives, salads and other starters work well for sharing, while baked pasta dishes such as lasagne and cannelloni provide substantial alternatives to pizza. Vegan recipes, vegetarian choices and a dedicated children's menu help the restaurant serve groups with different preferences.
Desserts, coffee, wine, beer and soft drinks complete the meal, and collection and delivery provide convenient options beyond the dining room. Pizza making parties add a hands on choice for children and groups. With the Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Science Museum and Royal Albert Hall nearby, this branch is well placed for a meal around a day of culture in South Kensington.
