Pizza Express Islington is an Italian inspired pizzeria at 335 Upper Street in the heart of Islington. The restaurant extends across two spacious floors and its walls feature portraits of musicians with local connections. Table service, collection and delivery make the branch useful for everything from a quick lunch to a larger group meal.
The familiar Dough Balls with garlic butter lead a starter selection that also includes olives, garlic bread, halloumi, calamari and seasonal additions. Small plates and sides can be shared around the table before the pizzas arrive. The open, informal style keeps the meal relaxed while food is prepared to order.
Classic pizzas offer the group's original base, while the larger Romana style is stretched thinner for a crisp finish. Recipes range from Margherita and pepperoni favourites to combinations of goat's cheese, caramelised onion, vegetables, chicken and spicy Italian sausage. Calzone and changing specials add further options for diners who want something beyond the best known pizzas.
Pasta, salads and lighter pizza choices round out the main menu, with vegan cheese and plant based recipes available alongside gluten free bases. Children can choose from a dedicated smaller menu, and desserts include gelato and Italian inspired sweets. Coffee, soft drinks, beer and wine complete an accessible Upper Street dining experience built around broad choice.
Address: 335 Upper Street, Islington, London N1 0PB, United Kingdom
