👍👍 Delicious and affordable wood fired pizza. I’ve tried the margarita and the fungi (mushroom) pizzas and they are both amazing! Their service is super quick and the quality is always consistent. All the pizzas are 12inches and priced really well. One of my preferred lunch spots in the area. People often mention pizza, pizzas, prices, good, staff, great, recommend, service, thin, amazing,

    This restaurant was very good in many ways. First of all price was resonable and my dish has big portion, also nice and tasty. The staff were so kind and friendly to enjoy my meal. I was really satisfied to write a review right after coming out of the restaurant!! When you come Tower bridge, if you choose this restaurant for lunch or dinner, I'm sure that you'll be satisfied as much as I enjoyed

    So the Florentina pizza: dry; tasteless; the tomato was straight out of a cheap tin! The cheese - where was that? So sparse! Not recommended at all, better pizza places out there, shame on you guys! You have lost me as a customer forever.

    Lovely clean and tidy restaurant. Friendly service and a good range of pizza options. Very thin base, perhaps a little too crispy and thin for my liking but very generous with toppings. I had the mushroom and it was tasty. Wash room are clean and tidy. That is always a bonus. If you are short of time and need a quick service and bite, I would recommend pizza union.

    Awesome place to get some freshly made but cheap pizza and chill. As typical with this sort of place, it's self order and collect. Then you sit in a long bench to eat and drink. The drinks or any add ones are on the pricey side to make up for the lower price on pizzas

    In both way the pizza and the customer service found okay, well behaved by stuff, I liked the way they deal. Decent place just near or most probably in the city. But I recommend them to take some more extra measure during pandemic and lockdown time to reduce the spread.

    I’ve had a lot of pizza in my life and I can truthfully say this is the worst pizza I have ever had. I was not expecting something gourmet, but probably slightly better than dominoes. I’d have to say this was worse than dominoes. It was paper thin. Lacked al flavor. It was cold when it arrived from Uber Eats and looked like the photo. So disappointed.

    The prices are so economical but the quality of food is not compromised. The pizza was light, freshly baked and devious. The staff were quite friendly and the place was cleaned regularly. We tried their cannoli which tasted fine too. Maybe one of the best places in central London to have a delicious pizza on pocket friendly prices.

    Friendly & helpful staff, clean & pleasant environment, comfortable temperature, great music at the right volume & delicious pizza! Cooked to perfection, speedy service, incredible prices. We visited mid- week at lunch time- there were plenty of free tables. Such a cool vibe with a mixture of customers. Such a pleasant experience. We can't wait to return.....

    Best prices just £6 for a cheese pizza equivalent to a medium/small pizza. Seen a bunch of locals getting it so we had to try it. Great tasting thin fire oven cooked pizza with fluffy crust. There was quite a bit of grease but I soaked it up with a napkin before each slice. The atmosphere in which you dine in is so cool. And I love the look of their logo. And they have a system that works flawlessly to keep orders moving creating a shorter than expected wait time. Id recommend to anyone who’s visiting the UK. Would rather have Pizza Union over Dominos or Papa John’s ANYDAY!

    Stable pizza store near the Tower Brige. The pizza is nice and thin and tastes good. I would say 8/10. The normal salad tastes a bit disappointing, however, as you really only get rocket. But the prices are more than fair!

  • 2/5 Huseyin C. 2 months ago on Google • 54 reviews New
    It is so disappointing to see that the service quality has really deteriorated in this place. I used to love Pizza Union Aldgate but recently I noticed that the staff are handling the buzzers with the same hands they handle the food. If you ask for a salad, prepare to taste the buzzers that have made round hundreds of people's hands. I actually pointed this out to the manager in charge and all I got was a shoulder shrug

    Amazing thin crust pizzas at the most affordable rate I've found in London so far! Highly recommend for a cheap meal with good vibes. Ideal for getting pizza with friends or a date night! PS: it's naturally very packed on the weekends.

  • 4/5 Danae 3 months ago on Google • 31 reviews New
    I ordered take away margarita pizza with pepperoni as an extra ingredient. Loved it. And also cheap for the amount served!!!

  • 4/5 R J. 3 months ago on Google • 31 reviews New
    Chilled relaxed vibe. Good choice of pizzas economically priced. Definitely better than the over priced chains. Frozen cocktails again economical. Would definitely recommend for excellent budget pizza.

  • 5/5 D M B. 4 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    I was really surprised by this place! A hidden gem for sure! The pizza was amazing, genuinely the best pizza I've had in London, and the prices were very cheap. The menu is quite small but it's perfect for a nice, simple, easy pizza. Though there are customisation options of course! We ate in the restaurant but they also provide take-away!

  • 5/5 Charlotte F. 3 months ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    Fantastic pizza and very reasonably priced. Eaten here a few times and always been great. Can get busy at lunchtimes midweek but you can always order ahead.

  • 4/5 Nupur M. 7 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Loved the pizza and the staff. It was a steal for £6.95 Great place to have a chill evening out with friends. The chicken salad was not great.

  • 5/5 Pedro B. 5 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    It’s one of the best vegan pizza’s I’ve had in London. The staff is super polite and the pizzas are served very quickly and piping hot. Very clean and tidy. Cheap and close to river Thames.

  • 5/5 Saif R. 2 years ago on Google
    Simply love this place, great quality pizzas for a budget. The decor is very welcoming and theres always a good vibe in this place, the staff are amazing especially the amazing lady who takes your order at the till. Great food in a great location cant wait to visit again real soon.

  • 5/5 Aliya R. 2 years ago on Google
    It was pouring outside, so this visit was a spontaneous one. First of all, the prices are so cheap (comparative to average eating out prices in London). Next, the pizza was actually nice. Bingo, well maintained price and quality ratio found. Finally, the vibes are just good in here: friendly service, no rushing you around after you're done eating, dynamic music yet doesn't feel like noisy. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Crimson L. 2 years ago on Google
    For the price the food is amazing. I would recommend everyone to try the dessert pizza (delizia) which was only £3.30!

  • 4/5 Rachel C. 2 years ago on Google
    Never been before. Went up and ordered at the counter. Taking cashless payments only. Ordered a pepperoni and a fiorentina pizza. Pizzas were ready within 10 mins. Had a Biera Moretti, can of water and a garlic herb dip. All came to less than £17. Would visit again if in the area.

  • 5/5 Mike A. 2 years ago on Google
    The pizzas were made to quick…attention to detail was literally thrown out the window. Half of my pizza was missing. Take your time…I will give them another shot. Be warned. Check your pizza before you leave. Went back on the 15 June, give it another try. #AMAZING I asked for chillies and you gave me 🔥 fire ☺️👯‍♂️my tastebuds are dancing.

  • 5/5 Nupur S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Pizza. Cheaper prices! Worth my money!

  • 5/5 McClure F. 2 years ago on Google
    This pizza is excellent, a killer value, and super flavorful. An authentic Roman style pizza at a great price. The reviews criticizing the crust is because it’s crisp. That’s the style. If you don’t like it, don’t go there. This pizza nerd loves it. The pizzas had a good balance of sauce to cheese to toppings. The crust was crisp, flavourful and perfectly cooked.

  • 5/5 Nicholas R. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved my experience here. Cheap to the point you'll double take, the pizzas were thin and delicious. For only £5/6 you'll first thing it's the cost of a slice. It isn't. Friendly staff and a vibey atmosphere. I'll be coming back!

  • 5/5 Joshua H. 2 years ago on Google
    Good pizza done quick - they do one thing and do it to perfection. Great value for money, great taste and really quick. Would recommend!

  • 4/5 Mathieu B. 7 months ago on Google
    Awesome Pizza! The pizza was good, fresh and ready fast. Keep in mind that there is no table service and loud anoying music, hence the 4 star. That being said, if I lived here I would eat here often.

  • 5/5 DAN T. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing pizza and olives and beer and everything overall was outstanding, not so crowded, fast service !!! Great place to serve a good Lunch meal 🥳

  • 5/5 Jacob C. 6 months ago on Google
    Really affordable pizza! Only complaint is that the pizza was terribly cut but apart from that, it was great! Would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for quick bite!

  • 5/5 Marla Rós Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Super thin pizza dough with fresh ingredients. They have one vegan option, which was amazing! Decent prices and friendly staff.

  • 4/5 Yashvardhan A. 1 year ago on Google
    As a student with a limited wallet, I really appreciated the place’s quality food and low prices. The pizzas had pizzaz, having been baked to perfection, with a crispy base. The prices were also quite cheap, very student friendly. My only beef with the place would be that it had a rather limited menu, i.e., at least from an vegetarian’s perspective. Other than a few select pizzas and some salads, the choice was not a lot. Despite that, I would still recommend others give it a go, since it does its best with the rest.

  • 4/5 Callum L. 10 months ago on Google
    Cheap and solid , solid pizza for the price , not the greatest I’ve ever had but certainly not bad by any means , amazing prices especially been in London. I would still consider this a bargain based on a full pizza for around 7-8 pounds . Service was very quick and plenty of seating was available , if looking for a quick cheap bite in London this is defiantly a great choice

  • 4/5 Adam C. 11 months ago on Google
    Very nice pizza and obviously good quality ingredients. For the price, it’s actually really good value but I would gladly pay a little more to have a more substantial base rather than the one on there it just seemed really thin. Nice drink selection and great cannoli. Friendly staff. Loud music, if that’s your thing then great. Lots of space inside. Pizza could be faster but it’s still a nice product.

    Turned up with 15 people, 12 of whom were kids on Sunday at 12:45. The staff (of which there were two serving, preparing and cooking) were incredible and smashed the pizzas out in short order. All of them tasted amazing too. Literally turned the whole group of us around in under an hour, incredible. All the while someone else was tirelessly cleaning away. Was faultless.
