Zizzi Leicester Highcross is an Italian restaurant at 10 Highcross Lane in central Leicester. Located within the Highcross shopping area, it offers a relaxed all-day setting for lunch, dinner, family meals and food before the nearby cinema and leisure venues.
Stone-baked sourdough pizza and pasta cooked to order form the core of the menu. Classico and large Rustica pizzas offer different formats, while calzone, sharing starters, salads and seasonal specials widen the choice beyond the best-known dishes.
Vegetarian, vegan and non-gluten dishes appear throughout the menu, and a dedicated children’s selection supports family visits. Desserts range from chocolate mousse to playful sweet creations, continuing Zizzi’s modern twist on familiar Italian flavours.
Indoor and outdoor tables are available, alongside delivery and click-and-collect. Guests with allergies or coeliac disease should use the restaurant’s current allergen filters and speak to the allocated allergen manager before ordering.
