The rumours are true. Kingston has welcomed its much anticipated new riverside restaurant this summer. Say hello to the newest delicious dough on the block, PizzaExpress. On 19 June, the new restaurant opened in southwest London, and is the fourth new opening for the brand in what is its milestone 60th year (whaaat?). That’s right. PizzaExpress has been slinging dough for that long, and it continues to keep expanding.

The newest addition to PizzaExpress’ 350 plus strong collection of pizzerias in the UK is a place that just keeps on giving. The interior of the new restaurant gives off a spacious, botanical feel with its leafy wallpaper, making for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. And for its location? It’s the perfect spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city, so you can enjoy a peaceful lunch or romantic dinner with a side of gorgeous river views. With Bentall Centre only being 5 minutes away, this is the perfect pitstop to decompress after a hard day of shopping. Cocktail by the river, anyone?

Pairing perfectly with the restaurant’s launch is PizzaExpress’ new summer menu, featuring Hawaiian Hot Dough Balls, the Calabrian Feast, Buffalo Chicken Wings, and a Birthday Cake Sundae. And if this heatwave continues and you’re after something lighter – well, we’ll just take a Leggera pizza please. Vegan, classic, or gluten free? There’s something for everyone here. What’s more? PizzaExpress Club members earn treats on the house with every visit, including free Dough Balls every time they dine. See you by the river?
