Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the handmade pizza, praised as fresh and authentic, with thin dough, a good crust, quality toppings and generous portions. One diner singles out the Pizza Crudaiola alongside bruschetta, another the calzone with its oozing cheesy filling, and a gluten free pizza gets its own warm mention. Close behind is the service, described as friendly, patient and welcoming, with one server checking for allergies at the start and staff accommodating a late evening arrival just before closing. The waterfront view and relaxed atmosphere come up repeatedly, and several mention the restaurant's convenient spot near the Excel Centre. Value is called good and reasonable. The main caveat is a slow wait for pizzas to arrive at one table, softened by the view and music, and one takeaway customer first thought the toppings looked a little sparse before changing their mind while eating. Several say they will return, and one diner calls the pizza the best they have had in the UK.

“VERY good gluten free pizza, felt like it was an authentic Italian joint but no real experience to base that off of apart from it tasting fantastic”

“Visited 8Slices Pizzeria on 4th July and had a fantastic experience. The pizza was fresh, delicious, and full of flavour, with great quality ingredients and generous portions. What really made the visit stand out was the excellent service. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the meal, making sure everything was perfect and creating a great atmosphere. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great food and outstanding customer service. I would definitely recommend 8Slices Pizzeria to anyone visiting Excel London and will happily return in the future.”

“This place really surprised me! When I arrived, the restaurant was almost empty. But the pizza was excellent - thin dough, nice crust and good quality toppings for a really reasonable price. By far the best pizza I had in the UK. While …”

“This family driven Restaurant is my favorite place, whenever I have the chance to be in London. Located near the Excel Center, directly accessible via Elizabeth Line (Custom House), with a beautiful view to the river. This time I had bruschetta and a Pizza Crudaiola, both freshly made and delicious, just as if you were in Naples, Italy. Not to mention the friendly and attentive atmosphere. I felt welcome. I will come back, and next time, together with my family again.”
