About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Child-friendly
  • Innovative
Italian restaurant chain Zizzi opened the doors of its very first branch in London's Chiswick in 1999. Now there are over 100 branches, all decorated in an appealing contemporary style. Wood-fired ovens, open kitchens and modern interior design with locally influenced art features make for a vibrant atmosphere. As for the food, they serve up a variety of traditional Italian dishes including all the usual suspects: salads, antipasti, pasta, pizza, calzone, risotto as well as fish and meat mains and desserts. What Zizzi really pride themselves on is sourcing good quality ingredients; salads are dressed with white balsamic vinegar from Modena, for example, and offer Goddess Olives, a variety known for their firm flesh and nutty flavour. The modestly priced wine list is dominated by Italian wines, starting at £13.45 for a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Customers at the South Woodford branch can expect to be wowed by pizza throwing chefs and excellent food, ideal for lunch or dinner.

    food was not something to be impressed. quite basic. had the steak on the screw - a few bites, plate was not presentable ( small place with lettuce , chips and meat hanging up - £16? ) , meat - lidl quality . not worth £16. however, i made a note on the booking as celebrating quite birthday dinner, asked for the desert to get a candle ( or some small bday approach) .... but nothing. i recommend the staff to check res booking comments ( even the venue was nearly empty, no one bothered) . small things make the difference. however, much better options around that place.

    Nice lunch with my wife. Everything tasted great, especially the desserts! Recommend the Brownie filled with salted caramel and the Golden honeycomb cheesecake (summer menu only) 👌🏾😋 Friendly staff. Very accommodating to families with small children. Would've given 5 stars but service was a bit slow on this occasion.

    Could have put more than 3 grams of chicken (three tiny strips) on my pizza and I expect a good half shot of espresso with my affogato. Clearly this particular restaurant is under a bit of GP % pressure

    They didn’t receive our booking so made us up a table when we arrived. The service was not great it was very slow and some of the staff were rude. Despite that the food was quite good.

    We went to Zizzy's for the first time after a friend gave us a voucher. We found the restaurant to be friedly despite being busy and the service was excellent. We will definitely visit again with our family as the restaurant appeared to us family focussed.

    The slowest service I've ever experienced. I went on a Sunday and even though it wasn't busy, the wait for food was ridiculous. The chef had to come out at one point and shout at the waiting staff to take food out to waiting customers. Even though service was terrible, the food was nice. I had a 40% off voucher for food, and after this experience, I'm glad I had it. Sort out the service and this could be a great Zizzi branch.
