Italian · Westminster
This Victoria Street PizzaExpress is a solid choice for a family meal out — the pizzas are reliably good, the atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and the team are welcoming whether you're wrangling a toddler or celebrating with older kids. Highchairs and a children's menu are on hand, the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, and there's some outdoor space if you need a breather. Vegan and gluten-free options are available too, though there's no soft play or baby changing 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.
