Since I have been trying a lot more foodie places lately, I thought why not review some restaurants as blog posts? Although, I only decided to write a blog after the fact and didn't think to get lots of pictures.
The latest place I have been that I thought would be good to review is Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza in Battersea. There are a few locations across London, but we decided to go to the Battersea one as it was the closest to where Joe (my boyfriend) lives.
It is located around Battersea Power Station, near the new tube station and it seems like everything around there is new - I'm not sure though. There are loads of restaurants around there and they have Birdies mini-golf and bar, so we went there beforehand.
The pizza
For Christmas, Joe's mum got us bottomless pizza for two at Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza, so we went there for a kind of Valentine's Day celebration. I love experience presents like this!
Our table was booked for around 6pm and as soon as we got there, we saw people walking around with the pizza. For the bottomless pizza, I believe it is £16pp for 2 hours of pizza, they do have a few sides too but the pizza was SO filling I didn't even look at the sides. Although we did get the garlic pesto dip which I would highly recommend!
As they are bringing round pizza so frequently, pretty much as soon as you sit down and order a drink you can start getting your pizza, on a slice by slice basis. For this reason, we got really full in about the first 20 minutes and couldn't even last the full 2 hours. So my advice would be to take your time.
For a drink, I had the special lemonade cocktail (I forget what it's called now) but it had vodka, limoncello and lemon and it was really tasty and refreshing. To be honest, the cocktails on the menu weren't really my thing, lots had elderflower so great if you like that but I don't really.

There were five pizza flavours including the special which was nduja. Surprisingly the nduja special was actually my favourite as it wasn't spicy at all, but I found the pepperoni really spicy. The pizza itself was really good and it was a good thing it was really thin because it's more practical for fitting more slices in.
After the pizza though, I was the most full I'd been in ages. Did I have to secretly undo the button on my jeans and hide it with my scarf on my lap? Yes. I would NOT have been able to last the full 2 hours.
The service
The service was generally good although the waiters did forget things a couple of times, I think a few of them were new but that's ok. It was a busy Saturday and the main thing was the pizza - which was brought round VERY promptly.
Also, we were well looked after and were asked multiple times how everything was.
For sport lovers, they had football on in the background. Important information for dates if you want your football-mad partner to talk to you, maybe go on a day they don't have football on. Thank me later.
Overall rating
For the food, service and general ambience, I would give our experience an 8/10. Everything was great but would have given the extra two points for more pizza flavours and if the waiters hadn't forgotten to bring us our water.
I would definitely go there again and it was such a great gift for Christmas!

This is a very positive review. I will seek out the place next time in London. I recall enjoying Jamie Oliver’s place in Central London last time.
ReplyDeletePizza is one of my favourite things to eat but a recent health/diet adjustment means I'm unlikely to be eating them for a while; reading this post gave me so much pizza envy, haha! Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza sounds really good overall, I'd love to check it out!

This sounds like so much fun! I haven't heard of bottomless pizza before, but my family would love it. What a great gift you got! Experience presents are the best, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteOh wow!!!!!! What a marvelous restaurant. I which this restaurant has a branch in Malaysia. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea for a pizza restaurant. I’m
ReplyDeleteNot surprised you couldn’t last the 2 hours but having thin pizza slices would be a must for an experience like this! I love elderflower so I love the sound of the cocktails x
I love the concept of this pizza restaurant! Bottomless pizza?! Sounds amazing! x

Sounds like you had a good time! 8/10 is pretty good going. Didn’t realise Ramsay had a bottomless pizza option so this is interesting to know for the future!
