Love Zizzi Every time I have been here : the service was welcoming and friendly. Pizza rustica is exquisite, my fav starter is calamari or arancini. The meatballs were delicious but the dessert it exceeded my expectation. They do some good deals for students, another good reason to go ! Recommended
The food was lovely and the servers were all extremely kind and made the experience much better!
Zizzi at Gloucester Docks was a delightful revisit for me after about four years, and it did not disappoint. This time, I savored a large pizza topped with wagyu beef, which was a true culinary delight. The richness of the beef paired beautifully with the perfectly baked crust and fresh toppings, making each bite a treat. The ambiance of Zizzi remains as inviting as I remembered, with its modern decor and a vibe that feels both relaxed and upscale—ideal for a casual dinner or a celebratory meal. The clever use of lighting and stylish furnishings creates a warm atmosphere that encourages you to linger a little longer. During my visit, I was served by a gentleman who exemplified excellent service. His polite and attentive nature made the experience even more enjoyable. Although he spoke softly, his kindness and professionalism were evident in every interaction. It was heartening to see that, despite the staff changes over the years, the level of professionalism and care had remained consistently high. The menu also seemed to have evolved, with some intriguing new offerings alongside the classic favorites. I noticed a few unique appetizers that caught my eye, and I couldn't resist trying a dessert that was simply divine—a rich ice-cream cheesecake. Also the pizzeria was not busy, almost quite for the evening. Service was swift, prompt and attentive. Overall, my second visit to Zizzi was a wonderful experience that reminded me why I enjoyed it so much the first time. With delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service, it's a gem in Gloucester Docks that I will certainly return to again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great pizza and a pleasant dining experience!
service was fantastic, our waitress was named Elle and she was lovely. Food was also superb, along with the cocktails, and it’s super affordable for the amount you get. would definitely recommend:)
Been to Zizzi several times, but first visit to the one at Gloucester Quays. Really impressed with both the food (try the King prawn vongole if you like seafood, it was really good) and the service (especially our waitress Kamila who was extremely helpful). Will definitely return.
