Italian · Bermondsey
Tucked into the atmospheric Shad Thames — all Victorian brick and iron — this PizzaExpress turns out reliably excellent pizza, with reviewers raving about everything from a perfectly balanced spicy American to a rich truffle number and the revelation of chili oil. The team here gets particular praise for warm, attentive service that makes the whole family feel looked after. It's a genuinely family-friendly spot with highchairs, a kids' menu, vegan and gluten-free options on the menu, and easy buggy access, though there's no outdoor seating or baby-changing facilities on site.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
