My Cheltenham Zizzi review

This is my original review of Zizzi Cheltenham, written back in 2017 when I first wrote this article. I'm keeping it as it was at the time, partly because the restaurant itself is still there, and partly because it's a nice little snapshot of where I was in life back then.

At the time I was doing a year-long no added sugar challenge, and I was vegetarian, not long before I turned fully vegan. So a lot of this review is seen through that lens, checking menus for sugar content and looking for suitable veggie options rather than the vegan eye I'd bring to it now.

I was contacted by UNiDAYS and Zizzi to see if I fancied reviewing a meal at Zizzi. Of course I did! I love Italian food and "posh pizzas" as we call them.

Though I'd decided to cut out refined sugar that year, so I quickly checked online to see if they had any suitable salads, and they sure did.

Ben is still a pizza fiend so he was up for it.

We didn't have child care, but both Bella and Reuben are pasta lovers - perfect! Bella, four at the time, just loved the novelty of going to a restaurant or café for lunch, so she was probably the most excited.

It's also the only time we'd let her have a sugary dessert, so no wonder she loved eating out!

We were living in Gloucester at the time, but I chose the Cheltenham branch as it's amazing. It's a converted church, originally opened as a Zizzi back around 2004, if I remember rightly.

I actually used to live on the street around the corner for a while, years before this review, and was quite a regular back then. I'd ring up for a four cheese pizza and go and collect it... naughty!

The building is so magnificent and our photos just don't do it justice. If you visit Cheltenham it's worth popping in for a bite to eat as the surroundings are so incredible.

I sat eating our meals imagining it as a house too, daydreaming of where I'd put the different rooms and furniture...

We arrived at 12pm (the kids' lunch time) and were only the third table there. This meant we got some great photos before it filled up, which it did quite quickly!

I think the last time we'd enjoyed a Zizzi meal before this was a couple of years prior, when I was pregnant with Reuben, so I couldn't really remember how it was.

I'm sure it was delicious back then too, but on this visit it was scrumptious!

The service was amazing, they couldn't have checked on us more or made sure we had everything we needed.

They were relaxed, friendly and didn't rush us.

I loved the casual but professional air of the staff.

The food was spot on. I ordered a Zucca Salad and it was so good. It had roasted butternut squash, goat's cheese, mint, courgette, lentils, green beans and salad leaves.

I just love butternut squash, it's probably one of my favourite vegetables. It's so sweet and satisfying to eat.

Ben went for a pizza, of course, a spicy meaty one as per usual. He gave it the thumbs up. It was huge!

I wasn't sure he'd manage it as he'd had a starter too, but he sure did!

The kids had pasta and there were two empty bowls in no time at all.

Ooh and we had starters. I had mozzarella and tomato. I hadn't seen it on the menu and just asked if they did it, so I was expecting just slices of the two, like you get elsewhere. So it was a nice surprise to have sundried tomatoes too.

I think Ben ordered "Cheesy Smoked Pesto Garlic Bread" to start, which could have fed the lot of us! It was huge and very pizza like.

The kids rejected their garlic bread starters and just wanted to steal Daddy's, as it looked and smelt so great!

Having not been for a while, I was still really impressed with Zizzi.

I loved the restaurant décor, the setting, service and food. It was a great meal out and I'm not sure I could think of anything to fault.

The barman did forget Ben's drink, but apologised and got it to him immediately once we mentioned it. Otherwise, it was a great meal out and I already wanted to go back again!

I'd noticed they had a wholemeal pizza base, so I emailed to see if it contained added sugar. They replied to confirm it was added-sugar-free along with the pizza sauce, which will make for a healthier pizza choice when we return in the future!
