Serves meat, vegan options available. International pizza restaurant chain founded 1965 with its first branch in London and has since grown to operate outlets across the UK and overseas. Created a separate vegan menu in 2018 offering choices including: starters like marinated olives and vegan dough balls, multiple varieties of pizzas (uses vegan cheese & faux meats), an al forno penne pasta, alcoholic drinks like cider and beer, fruit sorbet and carrot cake for dessert. Soya milk is available for coffee and tea. Outside of the UK the options may vary so check with your server. This location was formerly fully vegan but reverted back to the general Pizza Express menu March 2022. Open Mon-Sun 11:30-22:30. As of fall 2021, this location is 100% plant based.

Thank you to the manager and staff for a wonderful time we had at your restaurant. The food and service was excellent last time I came, so brought my friends this time who thoroughly enjoyed it too. We will be back thank you again.

NOT VEGAN ANY MORE - Edit
We visited this branch last night (19 Feb 2022) and is NOT vegan only any more. It being vegan was a pop up only and they've reverted to selling the meaty / fishy pizzas.

Pizzeria 100% vegana - Edit
Pizza express és una cadena que té algunes pizzes veganes en els seus locals i va decidir fer una pizzeria 100% vegana. És una mica cara, com tota la cadena, però les pizzes estan molt bones!

Great if your struggling to find somewhere - Edit
Have had vegan pizzas from Pizza express a few times now at various outlets. If your wanting a bit of quality rather than junk from a chain then this is a good shout. Always fresh and quick service. Not a huge vegan menu but you can pick and choose some decent toppings and the Margherita is a solid option.

Lovely pizza restaurant - Edit
To be fair, all branches of Pizza Express have a good range of vegan options these days, but it was lovely to be able to choose anything on the menu without having to check any of the ingredients.
Read moreWe visited after watching a matinee theatre performance and enjoyed really delicious dough balls, pizzas and cocktails. One portion of dough balls was free because we downloaded their app!
The branch was very quiet for early Saturday evening. The service was good and restaurant was nice and clean.

All vegan and gf options - Edit
Went to visit this pop up restaurant spontaneously for a late lunch. It’s pretty centrally located on the Strand and we walked over from Covent Garden. The whole menu is vegan and features dishes not available at other Pizza Express restaurants. All pizze can be made gluten free. I went for the calzone, which was stuffed well with a tomato sauce and various vegetables. My friend ordered the mushroom and cheeze white pizza, which was delicious.
Read moreIt’s a pop up and experiment, it may not be there from 2022, so worth a visit sooner rather than later. #Veganuary

Delicious vegan pizza - Edit
Pizzas are delicious, some very original (e.g. with cranberry dressing!).
Read moreDesserts are so-so, but good.
Delicious alternatives to standard soft drinks (also available)
I guess the staff really tries, but they could be a bit friendlier.
Small, busy place near the center of London (Strand-Aldwych, near Waterloo bridge). Don't forget to book a table beforehand!
Pros: tasty pizza, alternative soft drinks
Cons: not so friendly staff, busy, booking/reservations suggested

Pioneers - Edit
I was happy to see that they only offered a vegan menu so no matter what you choose you could rest assured that it was completely vegan. Had the vegan mozzarella bread (i forgot to grab a snap) and a spicy american hot pizza.

Pizza Express, but fully vegan! - Edit
Well done Pizza Express for making this branch fully vegan, even if it is just for Christmas?*
Read moreI hope it stays vegan here forever but I guess it just depends on how being a vegan branch affects the business here.
*A member of staff said this branch will be staying vegan until at least the end of January but they'll see how it goes 🤷🏻♂️
Pros: Everything on the menu is vegan now!
Cons: Could just be a temporarily vegan branch 🤷🏻♂️
