Pizza Union King's Cross

If you are looking for authentic pizza. This is your place. 12" pizzas with flavour. Prices which for London are excellent. From ordering to eating was a pleasant process. I was surprised when I noticed bottles of Moretti beer available. This made the experience even more authentic. It was busy but there was more seating than needed. It is always nice to see the authentic wood fired Oven cooking the pizzas.

This place is affordable, has a nice interior and is crowded during lunch time. Food came pretty quickly too! But the pizza itself is average. You get what you pay for. Ordered the Florentine and paid extra to add chicken. For the surface area of the pizza, I think it would’ve been nice to have a little more, at least a piece per slice. :) Nice place overall for a quick bite!

What a great place. They have a simple menu of pizzas and sides with various options, but easy enough to make in less than ten minutes. I is usually busy at all times but particularly during lunch hours as it’s a great option for nearby offices, however the service is so quick and they have ample space ( people tend to leave after eating). It’s advertised as a place to eat a quick tasty lunch and it is exactly that.

By far the worse pizza we had ever eaten. We have been to several other pizza union on several occasions s and for the price it’s always been decent or at least edible! When we came here it was just so bad we had to leave the pizza which made us want to weep. Friendly staff and clean place, but that can’t remotely make up for how bad the pizza was, just utterly dry and without flavour at all.

Niceeeee. Would recommend! Got the Calabria pizza with jalepenos, a 500ml lager and the chili sauce. Total came to £18. Pizza was delicious, would've been completely transformed with some salad on top but that was my mistake. I didn't really like the chili oil sauce, thought it was kind of sour and not complimentary to the pizza at all. Nice crispy crust, flavorful sausage, I wouldn't recommend the beer. I will come back! 5/5

Up to London from the SW. Amazing authentic Italian pizza at an insanely reasonable price. You get more for your money here than anything comparable further down south. Definitely stop here for pizza if around, the frozen margarita is super sharp and balanced too. Beautiful pistachio cannoli.

We've eaten here twice recently and loved the pizzas! So good, thin n crispy and good toppings plus great beer! Amazingly good value for Kings Cross, only £8 a pizza!

It was delicious. It's a place I come to all the time. I recommend it to everyone.

Excellent pizza! Affordable and really fast despite the lunchtime mayhem. Clean restaurant and toilets. Beer, cocktails, coffee and antipasto are available as well

Honestly, after reading such great reviews of Pizza Union I found it to be incredibly underwhelming. Yes, the pizza was fast and reasonably priced, but it was quite bland. The sauce had no flavor at all and just seemed like unseasoned tomato sauce spread on a very basic dough. We have a similar quick/easy/cheap pizza chain in the United States called Blaze, and I think Blaze is far and away better in terms of flavor for their pizza than Pizza Union. I really had high hopes but personally it was just mediocre. It served its purpose by feeding us a quick and cheap lunch so we could go on with our day, but I wouldn't plan to return.

This was probably our cheapest meal that we had in London. Their 12 inch super thin crust pizzas are less than 8 GBP. The pizzas are made to order and it probably took 10 minutes or less to get our food. I got the Funghi pizza and my BF got the Calabria pizza. I got to try some of the Calabria pizza and I actually enjoyed this pizza more. The arugula topping on the Calabria pizza made it have some peppery taste. Pizza Union is very close by to St. Pancras International train station. So you can have a meal here before or after your trip. We had our last meal here in London before taking the train back home.

Good pizza at very reasonable prices (cheapest meal in London). Nice place to hang out with some friends.

Good tasting personal sized pizzas, fast and easy. Not too bad on the wallet either....

You definitely get what you pay for. If you are just looking for a cheap, quick bite to eat it's not bad. If you are a pizza lover looking for flavor, this is not your spot. The crust was too thin and overcooked. Mid.

Great pizza near Kings Cross. Big stone pizza oven and baked super fast. Awesome flavors and good prices.

Fairly priced authentic Italian pizzas cooked in a wood fired oven. Open plan kitchen. Self service. Fast food at affordable prices. There's a simple menu on a big board. Can't go wrong with a £3.95 margherita. Bring your own drink and you're eating a hot delicious pizza for 95p than a Tesco meal deal. Salads are decent if you're into the green stuff but careful, it's drowned in Parmesan. Open late but heaving at mealtimes. Big communal tables too so be prepared to share.

We had a really lovely meal last night at your restaurant. The staff were warm and welcoming, the food great and the atmosphere relaxed. Well done to you all for creating such a lovely place for people to enjoy themselves.

Thin crust pizza. Too good. I tried the Calabria and the toppings suited one another so well, half the pie was gone in minutes. I will also add how affordable and efficient this place is.

A very ''grab a quick bite to eat''-esque place. The decor was a mix of flower-patterned tables, stone ovens, warehouse ceilings and neon signs. Actually it worked perfectly. The pizzas were cooked just fine as regards to level of crispness. One of the pizzas were slightly bland and distinctively unseasoned, however the pepperoni pizza with peppers was a little spicy with a rich flavor of cheese as well as other toppings. The pizza was thin, fulfilling and not to much. The food experience here gets a 4 total. Come in, enjoy it yourself.

If you like burnt and non-authentic pizzas, or overhyped pizza joints, this place is for you! I get it, it's cheap so you get what you pay for right? Uh, not when my pizza is burnt to crisp and half unedible. Sadly, I discovered this only when I got home and opened the box, so I couldn't return it. But seriously, I've had €4 pizzas before in Italy and it was WAYYYY better than this. Would not recommend this place. However, I did like their salted caramel gelato so I'm giving them more stars than I think they deserve. Be careful and inspect your pizza before going out!

Honestly this is such a good deal it's almost unbelievable. Super thin crust pizza which I love and super fast food service because it takes so little to cook. I've been here twice. Once for pizza at lunchtime and then again to try their Nutella mascarpone donut pizza thing - heaven but obviously not an everyday treat. The space is cool and spacious and there's always people working on laptops. Can't beat the price for a quick meal that still feels like going out and not getting a takeaway. Happy it's going to become one of my local spots this year!

I came to Pizza Union on a Sunday night for a quick dinner with a group of friends. When I first walked in and saw the menu, I was pretty surprised at how cheap the prices were - I found that mostly everything in London was quite expensive, and this is by far one of the cheapest places I went to on my trip. After looking at the menu for a bit, my friend and I decided to share the carne pizza with rocket. Our food came out pretty quickly (everything at the restaurant is self serve btw), and it was a very simple pizza. There was nothing too special about the pie, but it was very tasty, especially for the price! Overall, this place was really good. I'm not sure if I would come back to this place next time I'm in London, but if you're looking for a snack to share or a cheap meal for yourself in London, I would definitely recommend this spot!

Ahhhh Pizza Union, my one true pizza love! Yesterday I finally visited the Pentonville Road location and yet again Pizza Union triumphs with their cheap but fantastic pizzas. I've made the decision (and it's a big decision), for me Pizza Union is THE BEST pizza in the city. There, I said it! To start we have some olives - I LOVE their olives. Juicy and flavoured beautifully with garlic oil. Not over buttery, just great mixed olives! I opted for the Stagioni (again), I just love it! It's a great mix of so many toppings - ham, pepperoni, olives and mushrooms, all it quarters. It's like 4 pizzas in one! Thin and crispy base, lots of tomato and great toppings! WIN. We also shared the bianca which is their garlic bread and cheese option. It was yummy! And we had the Verdera salad - I must give a shout out the their salads. Fresh and really really tasty! Their pizza salad in particular is awesome! I always get one on the side as I end up putting half of it on the pizza. Can't beat rocket on a pizza. Mmm. In total for 3 pizzas, a salad, olives and drink it was just £22! What more can you want? Sure we over ordered and had to leave some but who cares for that price! If you haven't been, GO! If you have been, go again and again and again!

How can you fault a place like this? Cheap, quality, fast, funky. Pizzas range from 4-6£ with optional toppings at 1£ and are made to order in the wood oven while you wait. It's a self service type of place: order at the counter with your drinks and get a buzzer when your pizza is ready. I think we only waited about 10 minutes which is amazing considering the people that were there. I got a margarita with spicy sausage (4.95£) and well for a moment I forgot I wasn't in France anymore and spicy meant spicy! Lol I LOVE thin crust pizzas and this place delivered! A delicious wood fired pizza with quality ingredients at an unbeatable price. A great option to eat before the Eurostar as it is 5 minutes walk from St-Pancras. Keeping this one in my bookmarks!

Indeed a union between great prices and fantastic fare. Pizza union always seems to be buzzing no matter the time of day or night..... Oh Yes, the hours are great too....Open until midnight.

This pizza land is not bad at all! It is like a slightly posher-looking version of ICCo...but to me, it wasn't quite as good. The really good bits: - It's cheap! From £4 per pizza (I think the two pizzas we tried were £6 each) - It is pretty speedy ...you order at the till, they give you a buzzer, then you swap that for pizza (just like ICCo!) - The décor is nice - industrial chic - They have wine and beer to go with your cheapy pizza The less good: - I didn't think the pizzas were quite as amazing as the previous reviewers said. They're all right, but not SuperAmazingBestPizzaInLondon level of yumminess. My husband tried the pizza with tuna on...and it was less good that a cook-it-in-your-own-oven-type pizza. I'll probably try it again to see if the other toppings were better, but for now ICCo is still my go-to for cheap, happy pizza.

I've been meaning to come here for ages, and finally made it today for a late lunch. The menu is clear and the prices are good. I went for the Calabria, but without rocket, and it was no trouble. I also grabbed a can of Coke and a garlic dip, and the whole shebang was under £8. You're given a buzzer and sent to find a seat, which was easily as it wasn't busy. Most of the seating is on backless stools but they do have some tables. Cutlery and a bottle of olive oi is in big cans on the table, and they also have oregano and chili flake shakers. Napkins were in a tin on a shelf above the bin. The wait wasn't long - 5 minutes, maybe, and my buzzer went. I was pleased it comes cut because I hate eating pizza with a knife and fork. I was on my own and had my Kindle out and never were my hands all greasy or messy, which is good! I really, really liked the n'duja on the pizza - spicy but not overpowering, salty and savoury. A delicious choice, and the mascarpone on the pizza was there to cool off your mouth if you went overboard on a bite. The crust was thin and not hard - but not floppy, either. The ends of the crust were nice and crunch and tasted good in my garlic dip - but I probably wouldn't bother with the dip again. It was quite mayonnaise-like. The crust was a bit bland, and lovers of a sourdough crust might be bothered by this. The pizza was more than I could eat today but probably most people would finish it on their own. I certainly wouldn't share one, unless you also had a salad or were planning on getting that delicious sounding Nutella dough ring...

Everyday I'm hustlin' Rick Ross's track comes to mind when attempting to find seating at this place on a Friday at 7pm. It will be communal and you will need to throw some elbows. This trendy yet casual place gets BUSY so the rationale behind the no bookings policy is beyond me. The only reason this spot gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because the Shake Shack style logistics of the queue, order and find your own seating model doesn't always come together well. Do yourself a favor and don't come here with a large group during peak times. You could be left holding a pizza with nowhere to sit. They do offer takeaway though if it comes down to it. This place is about cheap, customizable, made-to-order personal sized pizzas. And lest you get bored of the inventive combinations on the menu, you always have the freedom to make your own or add extra toppings. True to its name, the pizza comes out super fast after you order it. I had the Calabria - tomato sauce, mozzarella, mascarpone, n'duja spicy sausage, rocket all on top of a nice thin crust. The flavors came together really well - one delicious pizza! It's a sizable pie (12 inch) and filling despite the thin crust. Come hungry. Note to management: jugs of tap water at the counter would eliminate the need for customers to interrupt the awesome and very friendly guy turning pizzas in the oven to request a refill of tap water in your tiny cups.

The sauce was very sweet and plentiful. They have a good selection of pizza and salads. This is a place to get a good local slice. Didn't take long to get my pizza. A good neighborhood joint.

People have been telling me about this place for forever and now I know why!!! Fan-flipping-tastic!!Where have you been all my life?! Finally, I have found my spot for pizza!! This place is incredible, pizzas are a great size, super thin crust, which I love, and at around the £5/6 mark which is a steal!! The whole concept of the place is you go in, queue, which is roughly 15 minutes on a busy night, and then after the queue you are given a buzzer which buzzes when your pizza is ready! Genius! Even better part is the wait is literally non-existent like 10 minutes max and you are resented with your own bit of yummy heaven!! I got the peppers one.. verduro I think it's called and modified it to add chicken! Wowwww crispy and cooked to perfection! Piping and no chance I would be sharing this!! Literally the best pizza I eaten in a very, very long time!!! Can't wait to go back and try out some of the other beauties on the menu and the best thing is - if you want to add extra ingredients you totally can!

Best place to get cheap but good quality pizzas. My friend and I got the vesuvio (really spicy), the carnios and the garlic bread. Wasnt expecting much from such an inexpensive place but the pizza a thin and crispy as I like and full of flavours! Defo worth it and I would come back for sure

Margherita pizza is only 3.95, but there's not much to it. Part of the crust was burnt on the edges. Toppings were very light.

" I think I'm in love with London already." That's what my mom said after being in London for approximately 2 whole seconds and losing her Pizza Union virginity soon after. I'd be going to Pizza Union 2-4 times a week since I started living just up the road from the Kings Cross location. Thats was a bad idea. So bad. But my mom was right (aren't they always). Pizza Union is the B E S T pizza I had in London during the months I lived there. Pizza Union is awesome because : 1. They have fast + consistent service 2. The people are friendly ( the lady at the till didn't judge me for being there just as much as her instead, she remembered my order) 3. It is quality + cheap (two things that don't always go hand-in-hand) Pizza Union uses the freshest ingredients. If you order one of their Pizzas with mozzarella on it, it's the gooiest cheese ever. It's almost as if they got it straight from Italy. My Italian friend, Fran, called Pizza Union authentic Italian pizza after tasting their MARGHERITA. My absolute favorite Pizza Union Pie of all time is: THE CARNE. My goodness, it's probably the most fatty, but its already too late to think about that. It has fresh chicken, succulent beef AND pepperoni on it. With a tomato and mozzarella base and topped with onions and rosemary. You cannot go wrong. I always throw some oregano and olive oil on top as well. Ahhh man, to say the least, I miss Pizza Union everyday that I am away and hope to return soon. TIP: Pizza Union is the cheapest, yet quality pizza that you're going to find in LDN. Hands down. The Carne is one of their most "expensive" pizzas and its only £6.50. Craziness, I know! How could I forget to mention the sauces. Oh my, I slept on them for the longest time, but when I finally tried one, there was no way I was leaving without getting one. The 'garlic herb' sauce is my favorite. It's only 50 pence more and totally worth all of its garlicky glory. I simply fold my slice like a taco and dip. Repeat. Burp. Repeat.

Great find! Pizza is fresh in wood stove and service is quick! We loved it, I also got frozen drink it was amazing. This was a hidden gem! Got to try it!

We ate: Margherita - thin, crispy and quite tasty, but sort of too dry 3/5 Formaggi - very tasty and not toi dry as previous. Atmosphere is great and the pizzas are very affordable. I think I'll eat here again, if I'm in the neighbourhood.

The first thing I said when I sat down to try Pizza Union's pizza was "I'll have you all know, I am a pizza snob" - meaning I'm very fussy when it comes to pizza and I've had so many bad experiences with pizza in London that at some point I kinda gave up. Two bites later I was blabbering something like OH GOFD THIF IF FO DELICIOUF CAN I HAF MORE PLEAFE? Deep pan pizza is something that should not even exist in my book, that's why when I saw how thin the base/crust of Pizza Union's pizza was I was very very happy. They make pizza like we do at home back in Sicily: thin, crispy on the edges, slightly over-cooked to make sure there is crunchiness and the middle isn't soggy and tearing (like it would be in a Neapolitan pizza made by...someone who doesn't know how to make Neapolitan pizza). It was a feast for my palate. I picked the Calabria pizza because 'nduja sausage & mascarpone is the best combo since the invention of bread & nutella, I didn't devour it as quickly as I had hoped (it is deceivingly filling) but it was gone pretty quickly nonetheless. Now, dessert isn't something I would usually order when I go for pizza (I mean...what could they possibly offer that isn't frozen?), but at Pizza Union you can pick between 3 pizza-dough doughnuts with different fillings. We tried all 3: coconut, classic and something with peanuts if I'm not mistaken. When you read through the menu and you see the fillings listed for each of the doughnuts, you'll be tempted to try the one that sounds the fancier (the nuts one) but I promise, I PROMISE the classic rules them all. It's filled with Nutella so what else would you want? The restaurant itself is quite big, you might have to swing your butt back and forth a few times to get to your table without touching the people sat down at their tables (or their food/belongings) but that's a work-out I'm willing to do if at the end of the triathlon the reward is THAT pizza. Will be coming back

I fell in love with this place rather quickly. I ordered a margherita pizza (£3.95) with N'duja spicy sausage (+£1.00), mixed olives (£1.50), garlic dip (£0.50), and Diet Coke (£1.30). Their pizzas are 12" and made fresh to order. They gave us buzzers to let us know when our pizzas were ready and the wait was only about ten minutes. The mixed olives were great to munch on while we waited. The pizzas were so good. I love the thin crust and the spiciness of the N'duja sausage. The creamy garlic dip cooled things down before it got to be too much. We also ended up getting gelatos (£2.50) for dessert. The cookies and cream gelato was good, but the salted caramel was much more flavourful and was the favourite between the two. This place serves great food for great prices. We'll definitely be back.

Stayed in the neighborhood for a night on a recent trip to London - after a night of wine bar hopping, my wife and I were looking for a "late night pizza joint". Pizza Union was open late and we were surprised by the price and quality of their food. We split a Pepperoni pizza and a house roquette salad and it was the perfect amount of food and very delicious. The wood-fired pizza is cooked quickly right in front of you and they have beer and wine choices. Everything is served in a fast-casual setting where you order at the counter and go grab your own food when it's ready. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes but enjoyed the dark, neon-lit atmosphere.

There's always a first time for everything. Pizza Union virgin so tried out the Funghi (why do people hate mushrooms btw?) and the Calabria. So cheap! Around £5 and £6 respectively! Got to say the latter with its mascarpone & n'duja sausage is awesome. Get in ma belly! But honestly the prices are similar to the famous Icco on Goodge St. The cheapest coming in at £3.95 for a simple margherita too. I must say that the crust must be the thinnest I've ever had anywhere. I'm not sure if I like it quite that thin, so prefer the Icco larger base. But they do out a generous amount of toppings here which is great. All pizza places are effectively fast food and the space inside was large and open. Can imagine it being buzzing at night (I went for lunch). I will definitely come back as I heard they will allow you to mix and match the pizza toppings on one pizza (non peak times) if you are lucky. It gets a 3 to 4 star based on mainly that it is a cheap option to a bustling pizza scene. Nice addition though, with a somewhat different type of pizza.

On the plus side, open til midnight, perfect for a snack after some comedy at The Invisible Dot. Before I noticed this page I usually went home hungry after a gig there, or had to pick up something horrible from an off-licence. The price, I can't argue with. Approx £4 for a 12" margherita is a great deal. You go to the desk to put your order in and then get one of those things that vibrate when your order's ready. All very efficient. The pizza took ten minutes before it was in front of me. Pizza itself - lots of tomato sauce, thin and crispy, slightly weird chemical taste that I find is often the case with wood-fired pizza ovens. I liked the dip options at the counter for mopping up the crusts. Overall, can't complain for the price and I like the decor and quick service.

This place is amazing. My boyfriend and I stayed at an Airbnb across the street from pizza union. Over the course of 9 days, I went to pizza union three times. It's the perfect place for a late night snack - especially considering it's one of the few places open past 10pm. Every flavor I've tried has been good, although I especially liked the veggie pizza. Would definitely recommend if you ever find yourself in the Kings Cross area hungry for something to snack on!!

Calabria - Pizza Union, King Cross The thinnest pizza base I've ever had ! Love the mascarpone that went so well with the n'duja spicy sausage. The restaurant is spacious service is quick with vibrant atmosphere! The prices are also very good!

As we have incredibly good artisan pizza in Durham, NC, this place didn't amaze me. However, it was good, and was certainly worth the price. You step to the front and order at the counter, then find a seat and they call your name when your pizza is ready - quite quick. Definitely a happening place, as it was pretty much packed inside, even quite late at night when I stopped in (open helpfully late), desperate for food. Worth a stop!

Both my colleagues might have found a new pizza fave as they both like thin, crispy crusts. But me, well, I like my bread, so I'll still pick the sourdough version over this one any time. Toppings are really nice though, with a thick, fragrant tomato sauce and loads of herbs.

If you're American and have eaten at one of the many MOD pizza places cropping up across the US, then this concept will be familiar to you. Pizza Union is MOD's faster, cheaper, cooler cousin. The pizza menu prices range from £2.95 for blanco (garlic bread), £3.95 Margherita, and up to £6.50 for the meat supremo known as the carne. You can also add your own toppings. The reason this reminds me of MOD, despite not having he build your own for one price theme, is the dough is thin and the pizza is ready in ~5 mins or less. This was despite showing up during the lunch rush-- $5 mins later I had a good looking pizza. The same dough was surprisingly soft (I had expected a more toothsome texture given the light char and use of a coal brick oven) but the ingredients were surprisingly hearty for the price and mascarpone and fresh sausage for $5£? Impressive. The sauce worked. The arugula (rocket to Brits) was fresh but lacked the pepperiness of truly in season arugula. Super hipster, they have baristas. Plan to spend half as much as your pizza on beer or even soda. All in all a nice, quick, little lunch stop with decent to good tasting pizza, helpful and cheerful staff, and super fast light food.

Made fresh, hot, generous with the pepperoni, decent sized pizza for the price. You place your order, get a buzzer and pick up when its ready; ample seating, beers and ciders. This is the only pizza I had in London, so I cant compare it to anything else out there but compared to US East coast pizza this was a little different. Price was right though and its right across from the kings Cross Underground station.

Doesn't look like much when you walk past but I was dying of hunger. Friend and I had the Margarita and Tropically pizza. Very thin, pretty good.

Two words: life saver. Studying abroad from New York, I was ecstatic to stumble upon a legit pizza joint in London, something I wasn't expecting at all. I took out from PU practically once a week, it really is that good. The pizza is thin crusted and very crispy, and the quality of the toppings is the best I've had in London so far. It really is delicious and reminiscent of home. The Classico dessert is sinful, not to mention they have gelato as well. The line is never too long and the atmosphere is always bustling yet chill, perfect for a dinner spot any day. Two thumbs up!

This is the second time I've been here and it's so good!! The pizzas are a decent price - especially for London! You order at the till and they give you a buzzer, when it goes off your pizza is at the collection point. And you have a range of toppings and extras to choose from. They are stone oven baked too, there's not long to wait. Also I'd recommend getting the desert pizza! It's a combination of dough, melted Nutella and mascarpone! I could literally eat them forever! I'll be coming here again!

I can't fault this at all. When awarding stars I think I have this, erm..."gut feel"...there's an algorithm that gets processed, even if I'm not entirely able to articulate it. It's something about value for deliciousness, GBP per wow-bite. And here, where the pizzas are affordable and quick and delicious...well, Pizza Union you got yourself 5 stars with that formula! I saw this concept back in the US last time I was visiting; essentially they are very quickly fired pizzas, in and out of the oven in 180 seconds. Fast turnaround, quick pizzas. What's not to love (TRICK QUESTION: NOTHING). The basic white garlic 'bread' pizza starts at 2.50 or so. I enjoyed the fiorentina today, topped with fresh spinach leaves and a whole egg. I added some chicken for 1GBP, which was not these artificial blocks of protein but looked like pulled chicken breast (great). The pizza came quickly, and I added on a 0.50 mini tub of creamy dip. Walk your pizza over to a table (there are high-tops and tables) and you can personalize further with hot chili flakes, oregano, chili oil, salt and pepper. The chili oil was totally unnecessary, but never one to shy away from gilding the lily: I went for it. It was nicely spicy. There are sweet doughs and gelato as dessert options, but I have yet to try 'em. Beer and various soft drinks as hydration options. Yelp note: no delivery (yet), but takeaway options available. Note that M-F, 12 - 2pm, the limit is 4pizzas/pp.

This is not a place for staying a while but the pizza comes very quick and is so delicious. Thin cracky pizza dough with great toppings. And all this for a good price.

If you're looking for good pizza then this is the place to go! The price was super cheap for the quality and size of the pizza! The venue is really quirky and great for large groups.

I recently visited Pizza Union as I'd heard excellent things about it. I was not disappointed! The relaxed atmosphere was obvious as soon as we arrived and the long, beautifully tiled communal tables add to this as well as bringing people together. We sat at a table in front of the huge window, a perfect spot for people watching. I ordered the Stagioni pizza while my friend ordered the Reine, we only had to wait 5 minutes before the gadgets we were given upon ordering buzzed. This system is really simple - but it definitely works! Wine is served in unfussy tumblers and is pretty good value at £11.50 a bottle. Our pizzas were crisp and had loads of toppings, the roman style thin base makes the pizza feel lighter than its Neapolitan cousin, allowing room for a delicious Nutella and mascarpone dulce! I felt like I had been transported to Rome when I was eating at this unfussy, straightforward pizza joint. The pizzas are EXTREMELY good value and I will definitely be going back!

This place is *very* popular with teenagers; I think there a multiple hostels nearby and this is a convenient location for their visitors to hang out. As such, it's very noisy inside. Additionally, I didn't find my meat pizza to be all that good; the chunks of chicken were huge but didn't add a positive taste to the dish. My beer and the price of the meal were to my liking.

We visited Pizza Union around 23:00 (11pm) on a Tuesday and were extremely pleased with the freshness and quality of the food and the speed with which it was delivered. The thin crust personal (12 inch) pizzas are made right then and there in front of you and there are a variety of toppings you can add to your liking. We ordered a mushroom pizza (4.95) and a pizzeria salad (3.95) and received a buzzer that rings to indicate when the food is ready; ours rang within 10 minutes. The atmosphere was great- the spacious surroundings and indie music complemented the table designs and the overall dim, intimate atmosphere which greatly enhanced our first London fast food dining experience. There are many seating options-barstools near the window, tables in the middle (good for big groups), and booths in the back. There weren't many patrons while we were there but when we passed by the next day we noticed that the place is very popular around lunchtime and dinnertime. I truly hope that this franchise makes its way to the US. TIP: The olive oil has a kick to it- we didn't notice the giant floating red pepper inside the olive oil bottle until after we doused our salad.

Open late(by UK standards) and had great pizza and gluten free dough! The gluten free pizza was fast, fresh and delicious. The crust was think and crispy and the sauce was relatively authentic. They serve beer and wine only, no cider or hard drinks. You could always take away. If you need a cider there is a shop directly next door and a bar across the street. Great eats for after a show or before you hit the train!

How have I only just discovered Pizza Union?! The decor is great, long, tiled high tables, with high ceilings and an open kitchen. Reasonably priced (£5-7) and a great selection of toppings that can be customised (Mushrooms & I do not get on, and they always seem to feature on the pizza I want, swapped them for sausage!) The bases are crispy Roman style, so can be a bit blackened around the edges. I left the very edge, and was told by the Sicilian at the table that in Sicily that would mean I didn't like the pizza, which I can assure you was very much not the case. Had the Stagioni and the flavours (along with my added sausage) worked so well. Make sure you save room for pudding, the Classico Dolce is amazing, in my opinion the best of the three (& yes, we tried them all!) If you're looking for fast, tasty pizza, look no further

Margherita: (3 stars) nice thin crust Tricolor: (4 stars) great pesto and thick pieces of cheese NOTE: Not the best pizza ever but it is cheap, fast, has good veg options, and pretty tasty
