Price and Value

Pros:

  • "100% would recommend if you want an exceptional pizza for an even more exceptional price."
  • "Amazing place with marvelous priced 12” pizza btw 3.95-6.50 depends on ingredients."
  • "A Margherita pizza is £3.95! What a steal."
  • "Great variety of pizzas all under 6:50 pounds!"
  • "For London the prices are fantastic as a cheese and tomato pizza is £4.95 you cant beat that value."
  • "The price is great as well - around £6 for most pizzas and they arrive quickly."
  • "It is a great value, as you get a high quality authentic pizza in a convenient location for a really reasonable price."

Cons:

  • "I'm a fan of Pizza Union and have been a frequent visitor, as the food is good and it used to be reasonably priced. However, a bit disappointed with the recent price increase, which was 20%!"
  • "The pizzas are well priced but be careful of the extras, mayo, chilli, extra toppings and beers all adds up and it catches me out every time."
  • "Other items can be a little pricey compared but still pretty cheap overall."
  • "The low price reflects the quality."
  • "The drinks are a bit over price but the pizza so cheap i cant complain the drinks are around 3 to 6 pounds for water coke beers."
  • "The dough of the pizza is awful. You couldn't make a more basic dough."
  • "The only complaint that I have and that's the reason not to go with five stars is that about 40 minutes before closing they take everything from tables so you end up with no napkins, olive etc."

Quality and Taste

Pros:

  • "The pizzas had a good balance of sauce to cheese to toppings. The crust was crisp, flavourful and perfectly cooked."
  • "They taste great - thin and crispy and sliced up for you already - a world away from the likes of Pizza Express."
  • "This has to be one of the best places I've had pizza at."
  • "The pizza is very good. The crust was very thin and crispy."
  • "We tried the vegan veggie pizza which was the best I have had, I eat dairy and didn't miss it at all."
  • "The pizza tastes great and authentic, I had the spicy vegetables one and it was good."
  • "The pizza is delicious, the size is very suitable for lunch."

Cons:

  • "The pizza was by no means bad, but the base was tough and very thin. My teeth hurt after I left."
  • "The pizza fits the price range, I ordered the margherita pizza—the sauce is really sweet and it came out pretty burnt."
  • "What happened to you guys?!... The worst is the artificial, thick and revolting processed 'tomatoe' sauce... Almost inedible."
  • "Oh my...Their so called pizza is FROZEN."
  • "But quite possibly the worst pizza I ever had in 30 odd years. Over baked, rock hard, wafer thin base with the meanest toppings ever."
  • "The pizza tastes like cracker dipped in tomato sauce."
  • "This was disappointing, the pizza tastes bland, is badly cut and very crusty/thin."

Service and Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "The location makes it super convenient to find it."
  • "Music is popping and pretty busy inside, great for groups."
  • "Service was friendly. Would recommend for a casual bite."
  • "The atmosphere in the place is very vibrant."
  • "Cool atmosphere with music playing, great for a casual night out or a dirty afters feed!"
  • "The staff are incredibly efficient and polite and the tables always seem to get cleared and cleaned quickly too."
  • "Great service and friendly staff."

Cons:

  • "They need security in place as the staff claimed it’s a regular thing. Don’t trust your stuff here."
  • "Total lack of listening to customers, and very unprofessional response with broken English by the manager (she is just not ready for a customer facing position)."
  • "Only issue would be the acoustics which can make the restaurant noisy."
  • "Sometimes it's hard to get a table and it's hard to be too comfortable within due to table designs and lack of space."
  • "As a result, this one is manned by zombified staff who work overly-efficiently like machines without ever cracking a smile."
  • "The staff isn't necessarily the friendliest."
  • "Only 3 stars because the great Pizza is let down by the poor service."
