Jazz @ Pizza Express, Jazz bar and pizzeria in City of Westminster, United Kingdom.
Jazz @ Pizza Express is a pizzeria and bar located in City of Westminster that combines full-service Italian dining with regular performances by local and international jazz musicians. The room is fitted out for live music, allowing both food service and performances to happen comfortably together.
The establishment continues the legacy of the Pizza Express chain, which started in 1965 and later expanded to include live musical performances as part of the dining experience. This evolution reflects how the original pizzeria concept grew to embrace entertainment alongside food.
The venue plays an active role in London's jazz scene by hosting both established artists and emerging musicians in a space designed for about 100 listeners. Visitors experience the place as a social hub where dining and live performance blend together naturally.
Reservations are accepted throughout the week, and the venue stays open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays to accommodate evening entertainment alongside dining. Visitors should plan to arrive early if they want good seating for performances, as both activities happen in the same space.
The venue features a dedicated stage where musicians perform while diners enjoy their meals without service operations interrupting the music. This arrangement allows both the performance and the dining experience to work together fully rather than compete for attention.
