Zizzi

Came here tonight with my children having found our local Pizza Express unexpectedly closed. It was quite dead and lacked atmosphere, but it was a Tuesday night.
We ordered the garlic bread with cheese; a bit mean with the cheese I thought. My daughter had the kid’s margherita pizza which she enjoyed. My son had the adult’s margherita on a classic base which was tasteless and doughy. I had the salmon with broccoli which was surprisingly good. My daughter had the chocolate and hazelnut ice cream scoops with popping candy from the kid’s menu. The hazelnut ice cream was not bad. The staff was accommodating enough to create another for my son, even though he hadn’t had the kid’s menu. The pomegranate sorbet was overly sweet and is to be avoided.
Not bad experience. Will probably return as there are so few eateries in Henley.

This is a chain. Not the best Italian chain in Henley either. It’s very child/​family friendly which is good or bad depending on how many children you have.
All the food, including the pizzas and pasta is very sweet. Again, kids — and it seems some adults — love this but it’s not to my taste at all.

FIVE GLOWING STARS!
Can y’all say top 10 calzone of whole life? I CAN!
Zizzi sits nestled at the base of the town center of Henley. It is quite an enormous structure. The seating on the main floor really opens up and the kitchen sits at the back where you can see the oven. The architecture is really pleasant and creative with a warm vibe accented by interesting art and such!!! Zizzi is quite deceptively large in size, there is also a bar upstairs which is quite a huge space. It was closed when I was there, but perhaps it opens at night.
Anyways, I freaked out when I saw calzones on the menu, but didn’t really see the type I liked. So I asked our waiter and he was glad to make my custom favorite: ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, pepperonis, and tomato sauce. When it landed in front of me I knew it was going to be quality stuff. I sliced and dunked in marinara as piece after piece of the amazing calzone entered my body. I WAS IN HEAVEN.
This is a truly top calzone. As I said, top 10 I’ve ever had and I’m still loving it to this minute. My girlfriend ordered a thin crust pizza called mezzoe-​mezzoe. It was very wide and served on a wood block. It also came with a personal Zizzi pizza cutter which we loved because we could cut any size of pieces we wanted! I got to try it and loved the non-​tomato side. Very high quality pizza. No surprise considering the epic calzone.
Overall this place had all the small touches I wanted. Great service from a very understanding and nice waiter, amazing environment, and even custom Zizzi high quality silverware from Italy!
Zizzi now. Zizzi forever. Calzone zone!!!

This is a pretty nice place to eat if you just want a good family meal. The food is great, although the service can be slow at times. There is a large range of pasta as well as pizza & the menu is changed regularly with god fresh ingredients used. The building is very pretty too, & well set out.
Better than Pizza Express down the road!

Always a bit of toss-​up if I fancy a pizza in Henley wether to go to Pizza Express or Zi-​zi (although Zi-zi’s has a better choice of pasta so pick Zi-zi’s if you’re a pasta lover!) Zi-zi’s has a relaxed atmosphere, and food is always served quickly. Has a pizza oven at the back of the restaurant where you can see the chefs at work and an interesting wall of logs in the main restaurant area. For a pizza with a difference try the Calzone pizza yum!
Great for parties where you can hire out a private room upstairs with its own bar, food can be ordered and will be served as required.
