Chefs in striped t-shirts expertly toss handmade pizzas at Pizza Express on Banbury Road, right in the heart of Summertown, a vibrant North Oxford suburb. This popular pizzeria, known for its relaxed atmosphere, serves up all the iconic Pizza Express favourites, from the classic Margherita to the fiery American Hot and the ever-popular Sloppy Giuseppe. You can also indulge in their famous Dough Balls with garlic butter, or opt for a thinner, crispier Romana base for your pizza. The Summertown branch showcases stylish interiors with a mix of Scandi-wood and warehouse-chic metal chairs, complemented by exposed brick walls and retro light-fittings, while retaining the much-loved marble tabletops. With options for vegan and gluten-free diners, including a noteworthy 16 different gluten-free pizzas, and a dedicated kids' menu, there's something to satisfy every appetite.
Situated amongst a lively array of shops, bars, and boutiques, Pizza Express offers a perfect spot to refuel after exploring Summertown. The area, once a popular hangout for University of Oxford fellows like J.R.R. Tolkien, is easily accessible with good parking and excellent bus routes connecting to Oxford city centre and Oxford Parkway. Nearby, you can explore the independent shops and cafes of North Parade Avenue, catch a performance at The North Wall Arts Centre, or enjoy a leisurely punt along the River Cherwell.
