PizzaExpress High Holborn is a central London pizzeria at 99 High Holborn, close to Covent Garden, the theatres and the edge of the City. Its location works well for business lunches, relaxed dinners and meals before an evening performance.
Pizza is the centre of the menu, including the thin and crisp Romana style alongside established favourites. Dough Balls provide a familiar way to begin, while salads, sides and desserts allow diners to turn a pizza into a longer meal.
The restaurant has a sizeable basement that can accommodate both smaller gatherings and larger parties. Collection and delivery are available as well as table service, giving nearby workers, residents and visitors several ways to order.
What particularly distinguishes this branch is PizzaExpress Live, an intimate basement venue presenting music, comedy and special audience events. That programme gives the restaurant a character beyond the usual neighbourhood pizzeria and makes dinner and entertainment possible in the same building.
Address: 99 High Holborn, London WC1V 6LF, England
