Pizza Express

Carlisle locals and visitors alike know that Pizza Express on Lowther Street is the real deal for wood-fired pizza in the city centre. With a solid 4.1/5 from over 760 Google reviews and a spotless Food Hygiene Rating of 5 (Very Good) from its February 2026 inspection, this place has earned its reputation. It's been a staple for years, drawing in families, students, and office workers craving that signature, perfectly charred Neapolitan-style base.

Pizzas here are built with the brand's famously light, airy dough, topped with quality ingredients like the classic American Hot with pepperoni and jalapeños, or the vegetarian-friendly Padana with goat's cheese and caramelised onions. Beyond the pizzas, their dough balls with garlic butter are a must-start, and the Dough Bites with Nutella make for a sweet finish. Whether you're grabbing a takeaway to enjoy at home or ordering for delivery across Carlisle, Pizza Express delivers consistent quality every time.
