Details

Nestled within the historic Golden Cross arcade off bustling Cornmarket Street, this Pizza Express offers a unique dining experience in a remarkable 12th-century building. Imagine savouring your favourite handmade pizza, perhaps a classic Margherita or the popular Sloppy Giuseppe, while surrounded by medieval wall paintings and original 15th-century timberwork. Set back from the main thoroughfare, the restaurant provides a surprisingly tranquil setting spread over two floors, creating a relaxed space where chefs in striped t-shirts expertly toss dough. Its prime location also means you're just a stone's throw from Oxford's famous Covered Market, making it an ideal spot to refuel after exploring the city's historic heart.

Beyond the exceptional setting, expect the consistently high quality and friendly service that Pizza Express is known for, with a menu catering to all tastes, including vegetarian options and tempting desserts like tasty puddings and fudge cakes. The restaurant is well-suited for families and groups, offering a welcoming atmosphere after a day spent visiting nearby attractions such as Carfax Tower or browsing the diverse shops lining Cornmarket Street. Whether you're seeking a quick lunch between sightseeing, a casual dinner, or a reliable takeaway, this branch delivers with its blend of rich Oxford history and familiar Italian flavours, all at affordable prices. The combination of its central, yet secluded, location and the characterful building makes it a memorable stop for any visitor.
