Ciros Pizza Pomodoro

This is actually a really good pizza. Very flavorful, the atmosphere is very interesting, and Ciro is a great guy! Cant wait to get back.

Let’s start by establishing that you don’t come here for the food. I agree with what others have said here — WAY too much garlic on the pizzas, and it is all overpriced.
That said, the atmosphere they create is really great, and the service was very attentive. It’s loud and cramped (so definitely not the place to go if it’s sophistication you’re after), but as a big group looking for a fun night it was perfect. The live band is a really good touch and the singer was amazing! It’s very good for getting everyone in a party mood, and we were all dancing round the table by the end.
Be careful with the cocktails — at £14 a pop these add up very quickly. We also bought the birthday girl a tray of 8 shots which it turned out were £70 (ouch).
All in all it’s a fun and very different experience — the sort of place everyone should try at least once if living in London!

A sneaky find, probably wouldn’t know about this gem unless someone told u (or u perhaps used Unilocal!:-)) This was our second visit here with the same group of friends, who are the ones that introduced us to this place two weeks ago.
Hidden down a narrow corridor off Beauchamp place down some steps to an apparently seedy looking venue! However once inside you realise that isn’t the case and it’s just a banging atmosphere full of people who have come for the same reason as you… The excellent live music.
We didn’t get there till 9.15 as that’s when the music starts. We were seated in a large round table in the corner, even though we had specially requested a table right in the middle so that was a slight disappointment.
Drinks started flowing and we ordered starters; we did a Mediterranean platter and the meat platter and bruschetta for the table to share. We also had some main courses, I had the Pollo al Funghi and Sir had the Tortellini al Funghi. All the food was nice, you are really not here for food per say, just an excuse to all get together and listen to the live band.
Def recommend a visit here, but be sure to book in advance as it’s always jammed!

Not kid-​friendly is an understatement! My two kids, 10 and 12 years old, tried to eat here at 8:30pm last Saturday night. We picked it because of good Unilocal reviews and our vacation rental is right across the street. We walked in, maybe half or less than half the tables were filled — -we were IMMEDIATELY told by somebody that looked like the manager, who did not have an ipad or reservation book to refer to, that they were «fully booked». And that was all that was said. Could we have felt even less welcome?

Poor quality food, too much garlic to make up for a lack of flavour. The pizza is on par with Dominos unfortunately. A shame as the atmosphere is this cosy basement restaurant with live music all nights of the week is really fun.

If you go into this place understanding what it is before hand, you will enjoy your experience. It is small, cramped and intimate with your neighbours and staff which is what makes it a good atmosphere. The food is good, but that is not why you come here. Live music and the crowds are the draw. When inside you will see the walls covered with pictures of celebrities that feels the same way. We met Ciro the night we were there, and his nefew Ciro, and one of the waitors who were all from Naples which was rather interesting considering we live in Monterusciello, so we had lots to talk about. Staff was all very friendly and could not do enough for us. As a result we ate way too much.

Trendy little place with a very good ambiance. Its small and this is what makes this place Cozy, it really is a little gem that is hidden below a flight of stairs. I gave it 4 stars because i thought the pizza could have been a bit better, in all honesty it was a bit bland. The mushroom appetiser was very good though. Would like to go again just for the atmosphere, this little place rocks.

Too cramped, too loud, food and service are below average. Yes, I get the highlight of the place is that they have live music. But are we seriously THAT desperate to hear crappy live music? I think I would rather grab a quick sandwich and go outside to listen to a homeless man singing his version of John Lennon’s «Imagine».
Out of all the good restaurants in London, there are way better options for good food and atmosphere. Seriously, unless you are absolutely in dire need of some live singing while you eat and can’t find it anywhere else… I would definitely not recommend Ciros.

Do I remember what we ate? Honestly, no.
If you want a fun night in London, come here. The place is very small and there aren’t too many tables, but it’s warm and cozy and there’s a live band that plays like 4ft away from your table.
It’s hard to muck up pizza, and they don’t. The pizza is decent and I could eat it forever because as far as I’m concerned pizza should be its own food group. But the ambiance is the star of this restaurant. It would be very hard to come here and not have a good time. It’ll inspire you to keep going all night.

This place is loud, corny and overpriced. The food is nothing extraoridinaire, and a small pizza will set you back 12 pounds.
Service is slow, and the blaring music will keep you companied for a couple hours after you leave. 2 hours and my ears are still ringing. Its impossibe to hear someone 45 cms away from you.
If you like good food on a quiet spot, this is not the place. Blaring music, overpriced pizza and bad taste? Please, go ahead.

We did not have a reservation, so we had to wait for 2 hours for a crowded table. However, they served us at the bar while waiting and the food was delicious. The place was active lots of action with live music. Best pizzas in London. Check it out.

the best pizza in London. Period!
:)

This place was fantastic on Saturday night — we didn’t have a reservation but they were very accommodating and the service was fantastic. Orders were quickly taken and my pizza was amazing — the super thin crust was great and I devoured the entire enormous pizza in one sitting (no leftovers, sadly).

I challenge you to name another place in London that offers all of the following:
*An enormous menu with every type of pizza imaginable named after Italian American actors
*Walls covered from floor to ceiling with gratuitous celebrity pictures
*An Elvis impersonator in an authentic white rhinestone jumpsuit
*Aforementioned Elvis impersonator sharing some love on your birthday with a dedication, chocolate cake and pyrotechnic candles
*Lots of room for groups, and a healthy selection of shots (I recommend the greyhounds)
WIN!

Ciros actually i like the pizzas small and great taste, few bottles of peroni, i go Wednesday nites live music and more depending on the crowd always busy never disappoints

Go for the atmosphere, alcohol, pizza and pasta (in that order). Reservation essential at nights,

This little pizza place occupies a basement on Beauchamp Pl. Everything’s really low-​lit… you feel like you’re in some kind of little village in Italy — aside from the pics of celebs on the wall who’ve eaten there.
There’s usually live music… but the one time I was there with a friend it was a woman loudly performing a mix of pop/​rock on the close stage — this really makes for a very fun and lively environment.
It’s honestly hard to decide which pizza to choose from on the menu… there are *tons* of offerings that all sounded amazing… everything from the crazy-​unique combos to your standard Italian. Quite a few are named after the celebs who’ve eaten here — I believe I got the «Humphrey Bogart,» which turned out to be a really good-​sized pizza… my friend and I each got our own, but we definitely could have shared. The pizzas don’t come with a ton of sauce or toppings… and are a little thrown together, but I still enjoyed what I had.
The staff here are also characters… but it’s a pretty long process of waiting to have your order taken… and then another long wait for the food to actually arrive.
But this is a great place for a fun night out… as much for the food as for the animated atmosphere.

It’s rare that I find myself on Beauchamp Place in Knightsbridge. It is not exactly my price bracket. One night though, I was taken on a date here, and thought it was one of the best settings to have a fun date.
This place is noisy, fast paced and does simple, unfussy Italian. It is basically a pizzeria. The pizzas are the best thing to order on the menu. If you can get past the slightly cheesy memorabilia on the walls — the restaurant is a haunt of celebrities of Yesteryear — pictures on the wall are of visits from Sly Stallone, the Trumps, rock stars etc, then you will have a great time.
Sometimes in the week, there is live music. This makes the place even noisier. You may find yourself shouting to hear yourself speak. The price of the food is not that expensive, the house red is absolutely fine, its a fun place to go with friends or a date. All in all, it is worth making the trek to Knightsbridge.

This place gave birth to a chain of Italian restaurants. For my birthday party I found this jazz cellar. It is tucked away behind Knightsbridge and has a good atmosphere every night. I made a reservation, as we were a group of 10 girls. There are not many tables and it is rather small and charming. The room is all black with no windows. The photos of the stars form yesterday are covering the wall. Ciros is a celebrity by himself; there is not one picture where he isn’t Arm in Arm with a star like Sophia Loren or posing with James Bond.
I remember how it got quite stuffed before the smoker ban in there, but not anymore. The band literally plays next to your table, they sang happy birthday and the restaurant even prepared a birthday cake.
Even though this place is named Ciros Pizza Pomodoro, the pizzas are really not for what you go for. The pizza is not a hit. But for the jazz, the life band, the glamour and the fun atmosphere this place is an ass and has to be visited by any Londoner. Every night from 9pm there is life music. Regular visitors know it is all about sharing tables, drinks and good times.

This restaurant serves the biggest garlic bread starter I have EVER seen in my life, its bigger than their pizza’s, I swear … so make sure you only order 1 between 3 (or 2 if you really can’t resist and have a tum big enough to cope).
As soon as you enter into the restaurant, you know you are in for an experience — you clank down the metal fire-​escape type stairs and as soon as you open the door, the noise hits you!
The décor is very dark and red (as you may expect from the name … tomatoes!), every single piece of wall-​space has photos, posters etc on it — lovely to look at, but you won’t be looking at them for too long as the place is just totally mad!
Definitely a group place — you all get piled onto tables where you don’t really have much room to breathe, but its all part of the fun! Very pricey for a pizza (think it goes with the neighbourhood) as a bottle of rose wine, 2 pizzas and a garlic bread for starters came to over £70. BUT the food was delicious, the wine served perfectly and I’d much rather pay to eat here and have a fabulous time with people who you don’t know — but soon will! — rather than pay to get into a club or bar.
Only given 4 stars because it doesn’t sell the worlds best pizza — but close!
