Introduction
This beautiful building is located at the end of the High Street and at the start of the exclusive Pantiles shopping area of Royal Tunbridge Wells. There are a number of car parks locally and the train station is only a five minute walk away. The interior retains a number of original features like the parquet floors and spiral staircase which leads to the mezzanine dining area, which can be booked for large parties. There are tables outside that make Al Fresco dining or morning coffee a great place to watch the world go by. A great place also for your child's next birthday party where they can make their own pizzas. Contact the manager for more details and information on our forthcoming Jazz evenings.
In 1948 Peter Boizot, our founder, visited Italy where he saw pizzas being tossed for the first time. Peter would love to take his friends to watch his favourite pizzaiolo, Benito, in his striped shirt, throwing his pizzas high into the air. Stripes remind us of our origins, which continue to inspire us everyday. And of course, they look good too. To understand us, you need to know Peter. He was just a schoolboy when he first fell in love with pizza. Later, though, he spent years pursuing this obsession on his travels. So many jobs. So many cities. Except for London, where great pizza just did not exist. There was only one thing to do. PizzaExpress was launched in 1965. In Wardour Street. And in chaos. His Italian oven was too big for the door. So he knocked down the wall. Oven in. Oven on. And so it began.
Two years on, Peter had met Enzo Apicella. An amazing artist. A visionary designer. Two people with shared passions. For beautiful music, stunning design, unique experiences and exceptional food. Decades later, those passions still inspire us. Particularly when we shake things up. Because knowing where you come from is the best possible guide to where you should go next.
We love beautiful things. It goes way beyond our food (although that's a great place to start). It's in our bloodstream. It's what we're all about. And it includes our buildings.
