About Ecco Pizza
Ecco Pizza is an Italian pizza restaurant on Drury Lane in London's theatre district, serving a menu of fifteen dishes since 2004. Pizzas sit alongside pasta and sandwiches, with the Pepperoni Pizza among the options and gluten-free bases available. Orders come with free garlic mayo, and wine is poured by the quarter bottle, 18.7 cl, into plastic glasses rather than sold only by the full bottle. Seating is on vinyl, and a big screen with air conditioning sits toward the back of the room. Reservations are required. The kitchen keeps dough kneading and the oven to one staff member each, so a wait can build when orders are busy. The restaurant stays open late, with service running into the evening around 11pm, making it a option for a late meal near the theatres.

Customer Review Summary
Pizza is the clear draw here, with reviewers repeatedly calling out generous toppings, a crispy base, and a pepperoni pizza singled out as excellent. Several also mention the goat cheese and garlic pizza and a gluten-free option, alongside pasta for those wanting something different. Beyond the pizza, diners note reasonable prices for central London, a full meal with drinks running around fifteen to twenty one pounds, friendly and fast service, and late-night hours that saved at least one group eating near 11pm. A few describe the space itself as no frills, with one calling it a tiny, down at heel spot with worn vinyl seats and plastic wine glasses, and another noting a wait at busy times since only one person handles the dough and one runs the oven. None of this seems to deter repeat visits, with some saying they return every time they're in London.

“We absolutely love this place! Great tasting pizza with gluten-free options, excellent staff, and outstanding service. Great latte. There’s also a big screen in the back and air conditioning, which makes it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! We come here every time we visit London.”
- Krystan Brooks
“My husband and I visited London a year ago, and I’m still dreaming about the amazing pizza I had here. We have traveled to NYC and Rome and there’s no pizza like this pizza. It’s my #1 pizza I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious. I wish I could ship it to America. I would almost fly back just for this pizza again. 5/5”
- Roger Dunn
“Right in the middle of London! No airs and graces just really good pizza, super fast, beers, desserts, and coffees at normal prices. Really a refreshing breath of fresh air for London!”
- Alex Lawson
“The best pizza ever. This place is amazing and we will be returning. Family of four on a Friday evening needed feeding before a show. This was cheap cheerful and DELICIOUS. My daughter had pasta and the rest of us had pizza. Toppings were generous and free garlic mayo was a great addition. Well done!!👏”
- Bid Sea
“We needed to eat at about 11pm and this place was open and saved the day! We ate in and had two fantastic pizzas plus two soft drinks and the bill was £21 - incredible value in Covent Garden. It's no frills but great food and friendly service. We'd definitely visit again.”
