Pizza Uno is the latest edition to the restaurant chain in Orpington. With its colourful lights, modern music and vibrant food, this restaurant brings back the energy Locksbottom craves.

Head chef Sam and sous chef Carlos create exciting pizzas and other Italian dishes to tingle the taste buds of even the most refined Italian Mama. With a wide variety of pizzas to choose from, combined with competitive and value for money pricing, Pizza Uno may be simple in name, but their food is complex in flavour. Pizza Express will find its most loyal customers exchanging them for this new edition to the Locksbottom high-street.

Locksbottom has seen traditional shops and businesses migrate in the past few months. With the much-loved butchers and NatWest Bank abandoning ship, Locksbottom looked to be left with only Costa Coffee and Cyprianis to fill the parking spaces. But now, this pink-signed restaurant, with its floor to ceiling glass walls and friendly staff look to turn this on its head! The restaurant offers indulgent packages ideal for special social occasion spent dining and drinking in a relaxed environment. For those looking to go all out, the extensive wine list finds a partner in the delicious, generous food on offer. They have an authentic wood fired oven and 2 Italian cooks making the pizza in front of you. The pizzas are large with excellent toppings and great value for money. Head chef Sam said ‘Pizza Uno is a great pizza restaurant for all the family. Whether you are arranging a family weekend meal or a party, Pizza Uno will not fail to offer authentic Italian food that is catered for your every need’. ‘We use the best ingredients, combined with our eager chefs to bring Italy to Locksbottom’.  

Originally the Seafire, a seafood restaurant offering burgers and fish, Pizza Uno is the new replacement, adding an innovative vide to Locksbottom. The very popular and successful Cyprianis is just to the left, with plenty of parking and transport links around. This makes it easy not only for families to reach the restaurant, but also for large parties to enter and dine the night away.

Overall, it seems the new Pizza Uno restaurant has brought not only great Italian food to Locksbottom, but also revived the much-needed relaxed atmosphere Locksbottom was craving. Hopefully, Pizza Uno will be staying with us for a long time to come.
