Zizzi at Wembley's London Designer Outlet is the kind of reliable chain Italian you'll be glad exists when you're in the area for an event at the stadium or a shopping trip. It's not going to blow your mind, but the hand-stretched Rustica pizzas, solid pasta options, and decent vegan and gluten-free choices make it a safe bet for families and groups who need something everyone can agree on. The al fresco dining area is a nice touch on warmer days, and the location right in the outlet means you can grab a meal without leaving the complex.
Hand-stretched Rustica pizzas and a 4.6 Google rating make this outlet-based Zizzi a surprisingly solid pre-event Italian dinner in Wembley.
Book ahead on event nights at Wembley Stadium — the restaurant gets slammed and walk-ins can face long waits.
Solid chain Italian that earns its Wembley spot
Zizzi Wembley sits inside the London Designer Outlet, making it the obvious choice if you're heading to a concert or match at the stadium and want a proper sit-down meal beforehand. The Rustica pizzas are the standout — hand-stretched, generously topped, and a clear step up from what you'd expect at a chain. The pasta menu has some fun twists, like carbonara with a chorizo crumb, and there are enough vegan and gluten-free options that you won't have to argue with anyone in your group about where to eat.
Service can be hit or miss on event nights when the place gets slammed, so factor that into your timing. The Google rating of 4.6 from over 2,600 reviews is genuinely impressive for a chain restaurant and reflects the consistency most diners experience. Tripadvisor sits lower at 3.9, which is more typical for the genre. Go for the garlic bread with mozzarella and 'nduja to start, and don't skip the al fresco seating if the weather's cooperating — it's the best part of the experience.
