Very nice place, near Kings Cross Station. Super fast service and quite good pizza, with thin crust. If you are not too hungry, one pizza feeds two. Super price, well below London standards! Highly recommended, either if you are on a budget or just looking for good pizza.

It's one of my favorite pizza spots! Usually difficult to find a place to sit because of the number of customers but at these prices I don't mind waiting. The 12" inch pepperoni pizza I ordered was delightful.

Really decent Pizza here at Pizza Union, great menu and super quick to boot! Also shout out to the Salads which delicious. If Iā€™m being super picky probably not as good as say a Franco Manca or Pizza Pilgrims

I love a fancy restaurant as much as anyone - but do you know what really excites me? Finding brilliant value restaurants which serve incredible food without breaking the bank! And that's exactly what I found with this next place. Ladies and Gentleman, allow me to introduce you to (arguably) the best value pizza in London at Pizza Union.

A popular, convenient pizza place located right next to the bustling crowds of Kingā€™s Cross, Pizza Union was a fun, cheap way to enjoy Roman pizza. For those uncertain, Roman pizza features an extremely thin, widely stretched base due to the addition of olive oil, which Napolean pizza traditionally doesnā€™t use. This allows the pizza base to be a lot thinner which bakes out crispier in a woodfired oven. I loved the casual, eating atmosphere of this restaurant as they have large, spacious tables perfect for a group hang out but also features dimly lit lights to create the perfect vibe. There are also bar-like tables facing the outside for solo people looking for a quick lunch or dinner.

Great pizza at a very reasonable price! The steaming, gooey, delicious toppings and the crisp crust made the pizzas extremely satisfying. The kitchen was also impressively efficient.

Extremely good value. Cheap and cheerful pizzas, beer and wine. Larger inside than I expected so we ate in rather than takeaway. Pizzas were ready super fast and tasted great - basic topping choices and not laid on that much, but for the price they were great.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. They have the best pizza in London. Period. Do not miss this. Oh and did I mention the prices are amazing? A pizza AND a dip for less than Ā£5. A student's paradise.

Definitely one of the best pizza places in London. You can get a great thin crust pizza for just 5 pounds. It's definitely popular with young people and is a fun hang out spot. Scores above competitors such as pizza east and pizza pilgrims.

In the words of my dining companion, "It's really good pizza!" And I agree. Affordably priced and amply topped with a just crispy enough thin crust. My go to is Hawaiian, and I wasn't disappointed with the Tropicali. My dining companion ordered a Margarita but was disappointed with the measly 3.5...

O conceito Ʃ muito engraƧado.
A ideia Ć© original, podemos comer bem sem grandes formalismos.
As entradas sĆ£o boas ( duas, milho ou azeitonas), as pizzas sĆ£o muito boas e em quantidade suficiente para um adulto, para rematar te uma sobremesa muito original, que aconselho vivamente.
Voltarei certamente.

For some reason or other, pizza has become one of those foods that once mentioned seems to get everyone in a trance. Who doesnā€™t crave pizza every now and then? Itā€™s fascinating whether this is simply because of the wide availability of it (I mean, you canā€™t really crave something you havenā€™t tried, no?) or whether there is something special about it, like being laced with crystal meth. Joking. That would be insane. I think.

Earlier this week I checked out the latest Italian pizza bar in King's Cross called Pizza Union. First thoughts? Fast-foody, small American restaurant! To my surprise, you walk in and see a bright lion head neon light by the entrance and the restaurant was buzzzzing...and it's Monday. I did my research before I arrived and wanted to sit where there were tiled tables and away from the crowd...with a camera in my hand I didn't want to appear weird every time I took a picture of the food we were eating. The menu is very simple; you choose your 12" only pizza that ranges from Ā£3.95 - Ā£6.50. I was really surprised how affordable these pizzas were and the proof was going to be in those pizzas! You get a disc buzzer when your pizza is ready to collect at the station and not long our pizzas were ready within 5-10 minutes. The base and crust is thin which means a well balaned pizza topping ratio with 3 different dips to choose from for your crusts. Usually you would cast aside your crust because you are too full; but thankfully my appetite was on my side and double dipped away in chilli, garlic mayo and bbq sauces.

I ordered the 12" Carne Pizza: tomato sauce, mozzarella, beef, chicken, pepperoni and onions (Ā£6.50). Usually I wouldn't be able to finish a pizza this size but the crust was so thin I managed 3/4 of it and doggy bagged the rest (I will be sad to see it go to waste). My friend ordered the Vesuvio: tomato sauce, mozzarella, Pepperoni, green chillies and cracked chilli flakes at Ā£5.50; unfortunately I can't handle my spice very well so I decided not to try hers before I end up with a busted nose pipe (yes, it happened before from an overdose of spiciness). My friend is French and enjoys spicy food; she said her face was burning so that must have been one heck of a spicy pizza. As our side, we a bowl of Verdura salad to share between us which is a mix of rocket, tomato, mushrooms, mixed peppers, black olives and peppers. It was very light with the added grated cheese on top; sometimes we just need some healthy leafy greens in our system to balance the flavours and the goodness of our digestion!

I spent majority of our time eating, instagramming, eating, tweeting, snapchatting, snapchatting and shit!!..our pizza was going cold! We are in that generation where our social media interaction is part of the dinner and I hope we didn't look like twats from the couple sitting next to us as they sneakily watched me photograph my meal using my hench Canon 5D Mark ii camera! I get so shy when I pull out my cameras and doing birds eye view shots; but it's all worth it when I get to write my posts!
Last but not least; the wonderful Luca; one of the young waiters of the night recommended we try the dolce delights from their menu. I've also done my research on instagram and noticed their nutella and mascarpone warm dough ring (Ā£2.95) and was on my agenda to try it. My friend ordered the Caramello (Ā£3.95); which is the salted caramel, peanuts, chocolate and mascarpone warm dough ring. I am not a massive fan of caramel as I find it too sweet; but that nutella dough ring hit the spot...it was nutella porn all over it!

Never thought I would find a place that has great pizzas at a bargain; the restaurant was buzzing so you know it's a great place when it's packed on a Monday evening with a week left until payday. Pizza Union also serves salads, coffee and wine/prosecco. You will find them here at 246-250 Pizza Union, Pentonville Road, London, N1 9JY

Located in both SpitalfieldsĀ and Kingā€™s Cross, Pizza Union is proving itself to be a new and tastier form of fast food. Offering a wide selection of pizzas with a selection of salads and desserts, you pay at the till Ć  la Nandos and then find your own seat at one of the long communal wooden benches with metal stools.

Greatest, cheapest, most delicious pizzas in Kings Cross and potentially central London. Stonebaked from the oven giving it an authentic Italian feel. Bustling atmosphere- not the sort of place you could go for a quiet relaxing meal but the busy nature adds to the inner city setting. Definitely going again

Ogle saatlerinde cok kalabalik, kasada upuzun bir sirasi oluyor. Ben manzo arkadasim stagioni istedi. Benim pizzamda ki et biraz yagliydi pizzada pek gitmedi ama sarimsakli olusu cok guzeldi. Stagioni ise tavukluydu be oda guzeldi. Kendi yaptiklari aci biberli zeytinyagi pizzalara cok yakisiyordu. Hamurlar cok ince ve citir citirdi. Tatli olarak dolce classico istedik o biraz hayal kirikligi yaratti. Hamuru kalindi ve bayiyordu. Fiyatlari cok uygun.

I did my degreeĀ in central London, and my student digs were around the Pentonville Road area ā€“ quite close to the branch of Pizza Union that Iā€™m visiting today as it happens.Ā Iā€™m therefore familiar with the area, and as I walk out of Kings Cross for the first time in a long time theres a nostalgia there, even with all the changes and developments that have sprung up in the area in the last few years.

Since my fella moved in with me, Iā€™ve had fewer excuses to hang out with his flatmates- three girls who truly appreciate a glass of rose and a lip sync battle. And considering I owed Sally an overdue congratulations on her snazzy new job, I took her out for dinner at Pizza Union, Kingā€™s Cross to catch up and pig out.

A legendary favourite in Spitalfields, Pizza Union have just opened a second branch on Pentonville Road in the Kings Cross area, and I was luckily enough to be invited along with my friend Steph for a good old blogger review!. As we walked in, the first thing we admired was the awesome interior design -Ā  long, tiled high tables, with high ceilings and an open kitchen, with the pizza oven on center display (apparently it's the largest in the UK!).

You can't beat pizza when it's quick, tasty and Ā£4 a pop. We came here for a quick dinner before a gig at Scala (Augustines, bloody brilliant gig too) and shared a margherita pizza with some snacks and bits on the side. Would recommend over and over again.

If this pizza looks a little ā€œwell doneā€ around the edges, thatā€™s precisely how I had requested it. Iā€™m not sure which I love more: a great pizza or a great bargain. But if I can get ā€˜em both in one go at a convenient and actually rather stylish setting then I reckon thatā€™s a big tasty win that warrants a shout out! Already a fan of the original restaurant in Spitalfields, I am so pleased to share the good news that Pizza Union has opened a second location on Pentonville Road near Kingā€™s Cross St Pancras station.

Perfect, quick and cheap pre-gig (@Scala) food with Sarah M . Ā£4 for a margarita pizza! Ā£2.80 a beer! Not for some time has London seen this much value! The pizzas arent the best as you might expect and come pretty light on the topping, but at that price you can always have two!

Pizza Union has become my ā€˜go toā€™ place for a quick pizza fix and Iā€™ve stopped by many times since it opened its first restaurant in Spitalfields last summer. The fire-baked Roman-style pizza is always tasty, the quality is consistent and Iā€™ve never had to wait long for my pizza to arrive fresh out of the oven (it usually takes just three minutes to cook).

Previously I'd written about Pizza Union in Spitafield and lauded about how ridiculously good value and delicious their pizza was. This is the place where a beautiful 12" hand-tossed wood-fired margherita costs only Ā£3.95 - good luck finding that anywhere else! But wait, you can get that somewhere else as Pizza Union has finally taken the step to expand choosing Kings Cross as their next playground.

The location may have changed but little else has - decor has stayed largely consistent with an open plan industrial dining room and kitchen being dominated by the custom-built woodfire oven and the iconic neon lion logo. More importantly, the pizza remains just as good both in value and taste with our Pepperoni and Stagioni (cotto ham, mozzarella, pepperoni, mushrooms, artichoke and black olives) pizzas combined costing only little more than a tenner.

When it comes to eating on the cheap, you won't do much better than Pizza Union. So, Eat sandwich or fresh margherita pizza? That is rhetorical. Get involved.

Great value for money! Found this place late on Tuesday evening when looking for a quick meal. We ordered Papperoni and Formaggio pizzas - both ready super quickly. The crust is really thin and crispy. Pizzas tasted great. The staff and atmosphere were really chill. I'd recommend.

This was an excellent pizza for the price and very affordable. I was surprised there weren't more meat options, but it was still very tasty. Crust is quite thin but still has a nice slightly flaky texture to it. I ended up getting the Calabria and it was a perfect amount for lunch, I was quite full after! Ambiance is nice and plenty of seating. Walls were a bit dirty but it adds to the industrial vibes of the place šŸ˜„

The place was so chill and spacious close to King cross. They have multiple locations. They offer delivery,pick up and dine in. We ordered Funghi Pizza, Fiorentina, and Formaggi and their dip. It was enough for 5 people. The Formaggi was the best Pizza in London! You need to eat here cheap yet the quality is outstanding. Highly recommended! Would definitely come back.

Really good pizza for a great value. Do not miss to taste it. The place is really clean (the loo is clean, the kitchen is clean) and the staff is friendly and welcoming. You can enjoy starters while waiting for your pizza (it can take 15' top) at an affordable price. The vibe is really chill ide to meet to friends or a casual date.

Visited PIzza Union afer a football match that left with a growling belly and fancied a quick snack. Opted for the CALABRIA pizza with Nduja Spicy Sausage. The thin crust was like a crispy, edible trophy, and the Nduja sausage brought the heat, washed down with a glass of house red. If I find myself back in the area, I will be heading in their direction again for sure!

As advertised, these guys don't make you wait for your pizza. It is fresh and straight out of the oven. The pizzas are traditional Italian style thin base pizzas, and you have to eat fast if you don't want the last slice to be cold. The quality is excellent, especially considering the very reasonable prices! Good value pizza. The decor is industrial design with long tables. Not uncomfortable, but you wouldn't want to spend the evening there, pointing back to their 'fast' tag line.

I actually never heard of this Pizza joint before and its actually a good find! Was actually hungry for from Pizza and I must say, the pizza tastes good and... its so cheap for London price! Instead of sitting and then other, you have to order the pizza from the till first and there's a selection of pizzas. After that you just have to find a seat and wait till your pizza gets cooked, which didn't take long tbh, maybe a couple of minutes? And you get a tasty thin šŸ• They also have 2 frozen cocktails, which are decent and great during Summer Great place for a quick lunch or social dinner with friends and your other half~

Lunch was delightful, and I was happy to find vegan cheese on the menu! Although I had to pay a lot for additions to make it more than a vegan peppers and mushroom pizza, it would be excellent if there were more vegan alternatives on the menu. Although I prefer the extremely thin crust, not everyone might. A five-minute wait was also quite quick when we received our food!
