Customer Review Summary
Handmade pizza is the consistent draw at this small waterfront spot near the Excel Centre, with reviewers repeatedly praising thin dough, a nice crust, and good quality toppings, several calling it among the best pizza they've had in the UK. The calzone earns a mention too, described as fat with an oozing, cheesy filling, and one diner singles out the Pizza Crudaiola alongside a bruschetta starter. Gluten free pizza is also flagged as very good. Close behind the food, the service stands out repeatedly: staff are described as friendly, patient, and attentive, checking for allergies at the start of one meal, and one reviewer notes being accommodated for a late order despite arriving near closing time. The river view and chill atmosphere come up often as a backdrop reviewers enjoyed while waiting, since a couple mention the pizza taking time to arrive. Value is flagged as reasonable, with one reviewer noting a first-time customer discount on a takeaway order.

“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.”
