Pizza was good. Salad was not worth the £18. Staff were really slow and very unprofessional. Wasn’t busy at all, however got ignored most of the time.

Having walked out of another restaurant before any food was had due to it being very busy & noisy, with poor service & very long waiting times, we came to Zizzi and what a difference. Attentive staff, Maddi our waitress was great, very chatty, friendly and good at her job. Food was lovely, and we ended up having a great evening. Thankyou!

Very unimpressed tonight with the customer service. Ordered 2 calzones through deliveroo we were unable to make any amendments on the app as it says to contact the restaurant to make any changes so we did, straight after ordering we called up and requested to have one of the calzones as veggie to which the lady who answered the phone told us that they couldn’t make changes over the phone as it could be anybody calling even though we shared with her the access code through deliveroo that only we have access to. She stated there’s nothing they can do and the chef has already prepared and put the calzones in the oven, when we asked to cancel we were told to contact deliveroo as they cannot do anything now that the order has been put through to think that in the space of a maybe under a minute or 2 the orders already been prepared and they can’t make changes to it I’m very disappointed at the customer service and will not be ordering from here again

We had Lilly and she was really lovely. Super friendly and really patient as we had our 2 kids with us (4&2) so we had to ask for more time to go over the menu. The food was really nice great sized portions, the only mark down is that my pizza was burned a little on one side around the edges. Really friendly staff and professional, great restaurant we really loved the theme/decor.

I have loved Zizzi whenever I have visited my sister we have actually planned our zizzi dates frequently . This review comes after thinking about it a lot if I actually wanted to write or not
First the service which is why I’m writing the review the woman who serves us a bit tall and plus size she is has been working there since 3 years or so. She and the others almost never want to check on the tables after they take orders they do not want to serve chili oil or any condiments. After we ordered our mains we sat for almost 40 minutes to get a pizza. With a very cold face they busy chatting up in the corner rather than checking on customers. All of the servers are not bothered one worse than the other a bit of racists because they went up to the tables quite often rather than coming to ours we almost have to get their attention every time (mind you the place wasn’t busy at all)
Second the food
The pizzas were divine used to be but now they just slap on the cheese and nduja in pockets which honestly sometimes hard to find. Also a 40 minute after the starters is just unacceptable on a weekday.
