It's been my local restaurant for a number of years now and every time they manage to exceed my expectation. The service is the best I've had in London (no exaggeration) the staff are so upbeat and lively, yet not in your face and intrusive (or rushing you to leave) they have gotten the perfect balance of great customer service and incredible food! The pizzas always taste incredible, all the food is sourced organically and served to perfection. The chef is incredibly flexible also, if you would like an ingredient taken out or put in they are always happy to accommodate your desires! Great vegan options too!
I was there yesterday afternoon, I felt like home, great atmosphere, great service, great food, great location, I strongly recommend it!!!
P.S. The owner is a genuine and friendly person!
Adored this place. It was my friends birthday on Friday and let's just say there wasn't a moment we weren't entertained.
Not only was the food phenomenal, the staff were hilarious and so welcoming.
We were able to play our own music.
The funniest part was using a cucumber and tomatoes to dip into the cake and they made my friend the birthday girl suck on it.
It felt like we were on some hen do. And we were given free shots.
Great spot for coming for a party.
Il Pagliaccio, it is surely fair to say, is a place that is more about the atmosphere than the food. I went for lunch, perhaps half a year ago, with a friend. The place was packed. There was a private function going on somewhere within the venue. Young families were all about the place, having a raucous good time. This was a fun and happy place, a family owned affair that made you feel one of the gang.
I ordered a calzone. I asked for it without the salami. The waitress was lovely. The pizza came with salami all the same. I didn't complain. It was like being a relative's house: whose going to complain about the small stuff when there's so much love in the room? And besides, the food was plenty tasty. Certainly a place I wouldn't remind going back to for a casual pizza that does the job.
Screw Flanders.
Lovely place, great food. We arrived from Spain on holiday and showed up at the restaurant at 11pm and the man was still willing to serve us, so nice! The food was great. The atmosphere was very lively on a Saturday night! Great place to be, we'll be back!
Looking from the street it doesn't seem much, but once in it's massive. The service was brilliant, very attentive and polite. It wasn't busy at lunch time and had to wait for the pizza as their oven was not on, but it was well worth the wait. It was in top 3 best pizza's I had outside Italy. The ingredients were fresh and bountiful, and the crust crispy and perfect. The beer isn't the cheapest, but it went well, especially with the complimentary olives mix. I would definitely recommend and will go back if in the area
Good atmosphere and nice cocktails, food is decent.
We went here for dinner on a Friday night and it had a great atmosphere. We ordered meatballs and calamari to start (both really yummy) and pizzas for main as well as the seafood linguine.
The pizzas were average, good portion size but a bit bland. Also they were a bit inconsistent with the toppings. The pasta was also slightly bland but a good amount of seafood.
Overall a decent experience and the atmosphere made up for the average food.
I recently had my birthday dinner here and I cannot recommend the restaurant enough for any event. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is exciting, cosy and fun!
There are two people which really made the experience world class:
1. Sam - he made the whole organising process easy and effortless and accommodated for all allergies/GF dietary requirements (for 75 people!).
2. Dino - on then night he was The PERFECT host. He was friendly and flexible with the whole night and made sure everyone has their needs met. He made the night incredibly enjoyable and I’m sure without his help, things would not have run as smoothly as they did. Dino was the highlight of the night and will return to see him again!!

Nice atmosphere
Delicious food
We ordered grilled shrimp (the one on the menu are fried, but we asked them to make it grilled and they did it👌🏼)
They are so friendly, welcoming and helpful
Nice to try and of course I will back
Great food especially the pizza. Lively and buzzing. You can see why it's so popular. Only pity is that for those days when you want to stay in and order a delivery the restaurant doesn't deliver. Having said that, this is one of those places where its worth nipping in to pick up if you don't want to dine in.
We visited for their happy hour cocktail deal but we're thoroughly jealous of everyone ordering pasta and pizzas, as they looked great. The cocktails were excellent and the staff very easygoing.
You must go ! You must taste !!! Amazing tasty incredible food !😍😍😍 Guys..big portions,good prices, friendly staff and perfect customer service!!! 5 ⭐×2 !!! See yourself in the pictures...or just go there!!!
My friend Jen took me here and it was absolutely amazing! The food and cocktails were perfect and the staff made the experience 10/10!!!
Would definitely recommend!x
I was stuck in traffic on Wandsworth Bridge Rd with my wife and kids due to bus and tube strikes today that has caused absolute manic all around London. And as we approached Il Pagliaccio in the car the amazing staff gave out free pizza and wine to passengers in the cars. I honestly can not thank them enough (both my children were extremely hungry and we were hoping to be home in time for dinner). They both loved the stone baked pizza slices they were given. Now we will definitely be heading down to show our support to a local family friendly restaurant.
