Introduction
A charming three-floored restaurant at the Oxford Street end of one of London's premiere dining-out roads. The restaurant is very close to The British Museum, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and Charing Cross Road. It is popular with local business during the week and exceptionally convenient for shoppers, but can also accommodate private parties. It has recently been renovated and customers can enjoy views of Charlotte Street from our 1st floor room, or relax at our al fresco tables at street level.
In 1948 Peter Boizot, our founder, visited Italy where he saw pizzas being tossed for the first time. Peter would love to take his friends to watch his favourite pizzaiolo, Benito, in his striped shirt, throwing his pizzas high into the air. Stripes remind us of our origins, which continue to inspire us everyday. And of course, they look good too. To understand us, you need to know Peter. He was just a schoolboy when he first fell in love with pizza. Later, though, he spent years pursuing this obsession on his travels. So many jobs. So many cities. Except for London, where great pizza just did not exist. There was only one thing to do. PizzaExpress was launched in 1965. In Wardour Street. And in chaos. His Italian oven was too big for the door. So he knocked down the wall. Oven in. Oven on. And so it began.
Two years on, Peter had met Enzo Apicella. An amazing artist. A visionary designer. Two people with shared passions. For beautiful music, stunning design, unique experiences and exceptional food. Decades later, those passions still inspire us. Particularly when we shake things up. Because knowing where you come from is the best possible guide to where you should go next.
We love beautiful things. It goes way beyond our food (although that's a great place to start). It's in our bloodstream. It's what we're all about. And it includes our buildings.
