Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the thin, crispy Roman-style base as the draw, with the Margherita, Nduja, and Formaggi variations named among the toppings that come out fast, often within minutes of ordering. Close behind, reviewers highlight the frozen cocktails and fair pricing, several noting it as a reliable stop before a show near Shaftesbury Avenue or a quick lunch. Service is repeatedly called friendly and efficient, and multiple visitors mention returning again and again for the atmosphere, describing it as lively yet easy to chat in. One dissenting reviewer, however, found their Margherita overcooked and bland, describing minimal cheese and flavorless sauce, calling the experience underwhelming despite fine service. Vegan and vegetarian options also get a mention as thoughtfully handled. Several describe visiting multiple times and always returning.

“Had such a good experience at Pizza Pilgrims in Holborn! The pizza was absolutely delicious — really fresh, full of flavour and the perfect balance of crispy and soft. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was really fun and relaxed. Everything came out quickly and tasted amazing. Definitely a great spot for a casual meal, and I’d happily come back again! 🍕”

“Pizza Union Holborn is hands down one of the best places in Central London for pizza. The quality is consistently excellent, with fresh ingredients, a perfectly thin and crispy Roman-style base, and pizzas that come out incredibly fast without compromising on taste. The atmosphere is always lively and welcoming, the restaurant is clean, and the team work hard to keep everything running smoothly even during busy periods. The service is friendly, efficient, and professional, making every visit enjoyable. What really stands out is the value for money. It's rare to find pizza of this quality at such affordable prices in London. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, meeting friends, or having dinner before a show, Pizza Union Holborn is always a fantastic choice. Highly recommended—I keep coming back and have never been disappointed.”

“A very, very underwhelming pizza spot in Central. Tried their Margherita pizzas and they were overcooked with no taste. Imagine a cracker with a tomato sauce that tastes like nothing and then the most minimal amount of cheese. Some fresh basil to garnish. 😀 Don’t listen to the hype. Service was fine and all but the pizzas were a real disappointment.”

“This place is stunning. Cute little sit down or take away pizzeria serving the best pizza at really good prices! Thin crispy bases cooked in a traditional oven. Various toppings options and sauces. Have the best iced cocktails too.”

“Great pizza. Quality meats, fresh vegs (if Ruccola is a veg) Tested 3 variations, Formaggi, Nduja, and one with Chicken, ham and pepperoni (I think) All hit the qulity criteria one hopes to hit. Clean interior, great dedication from the chef. Polite. Really an outstanding pizza place, with very decent prices if the quality was not enough. Would highly reccomend to anyone looking for authentic Italian pizza in the neighborhood. Two thumbs up. Would eat again, and again. :)”
