I can't figure out if the Regent is a pub or a restaurant. I like to think of it as a pizza place because they have the best pizza. Friends and I often go to the Regent to enjoy a bit of pizza and soak up the relaxed environment. We can sit and talk and laugh, which is always a plus over pizza. I love the pizza with goat cheese. The cheese is perfectly melted and with each bit you taste the goat cheese. The crust is thin and perfectly cooked; I like to save the ends for last. Most of the time we eat at the Regent in the afternoon. Recently I learned that after 8:00 it does in fact become a pub. We were going to eat a bit of pizza there and had a child with us and they told us no kids later in the evening. That was a bit of bummer, because we were looking forward to good pizza, but I guess now we know. The staff was very apologetic, but I'm not surprised because the service has always been good. If you like good pizza this is a good place to drop in. The only down side is selecting what kind of pizza you want, there are so many options and everything on the menu sounds good. read more

The Regent - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

This is one of our locals - how I avoided walking through the door for over a year is anybody's guess. But I finally did, with friends and on a Monday evening, not usually the most buzzing night of the week on the London restaurant scene. The place was quietish at 7, then within 30 minutes it filled up with a satisfying mix of real people, obviously regulars, who treated it as their neighbourhood gathering place. And that's what it is: a warm, welcoming, generous room with easygoing staff, really stunning pizzas, a good, pubby selection of beers on tap, plus a wine list that looks promising, fresh, delicious desserts, wifi, vid games and a private room downstairs for your 40-something birthday with friends. Enjoy! read more

I can't believe this was the first time I visited The Regent. We popped in for a pizza and a beer. Tons of pizza selections. The brick oven pizzas themselves were excellent. Thin crust base with just the right texture and well balanced toppings. A good size too. The pub itself has a buzzing yet laid back atmosphere with a good crowd. A classic jukebox too where you can scroll through the music selection and choose your own tunes for free. Good beer selection on tap including Honeydew, Bombadier, Peroni etc. Decent wine selection also. They do a £5 lunch pizza deal which has to be good value so will try that when I get the chance. Will definitely be back! read more

Neighborhood joint that I walk by almost daily and finally decided to try out. They specialize in pizza and I would say they are pretty good. I had the margarita pizza and the crust was perfect! Not soggy and toddler approved on the amount of sauce and cheese. Hubby had the jalapeño pizza and it was much more oily with the protein. Still pretty good though. I will definitely be making my way into this place again and if I want to sit inside with my kiddo - before 7pm. read more

I love bars that serve their own pizza. Why? Because I like to get fat when I drink. During the week they even discount them to 5 quid! Nice. I did, however, make the rookie mistake of ordering their garlic and rosemary pizza bread, and it was so dry and just tasteless. Like eating a giant, dry crisp. The Regent is a pretty cool bar though, really large and spacious with lots of seatings and screens if you are into the sport thing. It's seems like a good date venue as it's quiet enough to chat. Just don't order the garlic bread. read more

I was reunited with The Regent today. It had been too long. I walked several blocks to enjoy one of their £5 lunch pizzas. I always order the spinach because it never disappoints me and I love all the toppings on it, including the baked egg. When it came out of the fire-brick oven and on to my table, I have to admit that the diameter had shrunken a couple of inches since I last enjoyed one. Nonetheless, it is still my favorite pizza place. One of the few in London where I find myself enjoying the crust, which is always a plus! Other than that, I still enjoy the atmosphere. A "modern mess" feel, modern lamps with heavy lacquered tables and mismatched chairs. Not a bad place to get cozy in especially with the free wi-fi! read more

The Regent is a cute pub in Islington popular with the locals. As well as lot of activity including live sport on TV, pub quiz, comedy nights and much more, thy also have a hidden gem which is their food. They offer autentic stonebaked pizzas with an array of toppings. For me, this is the only way to make good pizza. So, plonk yourself outside on the couple of tables on a residential street or grab a miss-wooden chair inside and place your drinks order. A good selection of beers including Camden, Hammerton Brewery and gluten free lager. If alcoholic grapes are your tipple, they have a good selection of wines too. On our visit, we were greeted by a medium filled room, it was early on in the week and the last few days before pay day, so it was understood. It was not our intention to have a drink, in fact it was supposed to be a quicky then home. Famous last words of course. It turned into a bottle and glass of wine and of course, the need for some carb goodness. Omg the pizza's are lush. I ordered the spicy salami, aubergine and chopped basic pizza. My mate had the spicy soft italian sausage with gorgonzola, fresh parsley. Roles were definitely reversed as I normally like it spicy with blue cheese! We shared slices anyway, so thumbs up. I wish this was my local pub, i suspect i would be in here all of the time. The pizza's are so good and the vibe is so chilled. read more

Quite a nice little pub between Angel and Highbury & Islington. Brick oven pizzas, a free jukebox and great selection of bottled and draught beer. Six drinks and two pizzas for £44. Not bad. read more

Pub + Pizzeria = Megahit Who would have thought the unlikely combination of two individually buoyant enterprises could amalgamate to create such success! Well The Regent has done it with such humble alchemy. It's survival of the fittest, or maybe most creative around Islington, the rife comings-and-goings of restaurants, cafes and pubs alike indicate you have to have something special to remain open amidst fierce competition and scrutiny of Angel-epicures, - this certainly checks all the right boxes. The brick oven pizzas are great! Eat-in or take-away, though in busy periods they may not hear the phone to take your order in advance so just show up and order there... My favourite is definitely the roasted vegetable with chicken and pesto, though a fiorentina always goes down a treat too... The pub itself boasts a desirable corner plot on Liverpool road, exploiting the extra curb-perimeter for outdoor seating when the weather is fine. Friendly staff, good beers on tap, cosy and relaxed. Amen. read more

Whenever we get home after a long day and we don't feel like cooking, we always end walking to the Regent for dinner. They have lovely pizzas at a reasonable price and we've found that 1 pizza and 1 salad is the perfect amount for a dinner for 2. We've tried quite a few of the different pizzas (spicy salami, mushroom, chicken...) and have liked them all, though now we've been sticking with the margarita and topping it with a ton of their delicious chilli oil! One great tip... they offer a limited pizza menu for £5 for lunch on Monday - Fridays. Also... they have a basement area which slightly smells like a bathroom (due to it's proximity), but is a great space for watching sports games! read more

A really quaint subtle place to see from the outside and if you know your areas you'll know why in this rather posh backstreets of Islington. They have many good beers I like on tap, above the average price but they had the football on, had a pub quiz one time, outdoor seats for summer is good but what I love most that keeps drawing me back is those pizzas! Really good value and very tasty. I will always consider eating here if in the area. A local gem. read more

I quite enjoyed my quick beer here at the weekend. I'm probably teetering between three and four stars, but I can safely say had I spent longer than an hour here, they'd have bagged four stars so let's go with that. There's more interesting beers than the usual pub - Becks Vier, Star, others I can't pronounce. The pizzas look excellent and it's a light airy pub. Looked like the had free wi-fi too. Hurrah. I only stayed for one, but I'd come back. read more

Been coming here ever since it opened. best pizza i have had in London. Its always fresh and the kids love peeping over the counter to watch it being cooked in the oven. It has shrunk a little in size recently but still delicious! Great value for money especially with the lunchtime offers. read more

Its not Mcdonalds, that is what my wife was told by the staff when she asked for ketchup/mayo. Apart from it everything is "Perfecto". Perfect for a Pizza date. We had the one with goats cheese, olives and red onions and hot chocolate. The food was very good, thin crust pizza with sufficent amount of toppings, hot choc very nice. Very good light music in the background and tea lights in the evening to bring up romance. read more

I often joke with friends that the Regent has become my local canteen: a wide variety of delicious brick-oven pizza, a great selection of beers in ales (including a killer India Pale Ale from London Fields Brewery that is served ice cold), a fun atmosphere, great bar snacks (read: the Thai peanuts are unbelievably addictive)... and a large TV that plays major sporting events. What's not to love? Just about every pizza that I have tried has been a hit, but my favourites remain Potato (no sauce, but perfectly garlicky), Octopus (a variety of shellfish; great with their house-made chilli oil), and Roast Chicken (with an addictive salsa verde). Whether you are in the mood for a pub or for pizza, the Regent is a winner on both counts. read more

Formerly known as the Prince Regent, this is a great pub to enjoy a pint of real ale and indulge in a bit of surfing - they provide free WiFi. too! The juke box is loaded with decent tunes and the pizzas are great. Check it out. read more

Love this place for their £5 pizza lunch deal. Have many a time sat in there on my own having a pint and a pizza by myself on a quiet afternoon. As a pub though in the evening it's not my thing, far too bright, not much atmosphere and uncomfortable. read more

This place has a nice buzz to it... comfy atmosphere... free WIFI and GREAT THIN CRUST PIZZAS that are big enough to share, but who'd want too? I know that the cheap bast*rds I usually go with to this pub... well they shant be mooching any of mine! But seriously, their just a bit larger than a 'pizza express' pizza, thinner crust, with funkier toppings and usually have a bit of crunch... yum! By day, I have nursed a drink and browsed the web... even had client meetings here as it's quiet enough to chat without raising your voice. Which makes a nice change. Pizza is like £5 in the day... cheap! After work, the background music plays and a mix of office drinkers and local diners chat chill and munch the night away... It's not the kind of place you are likely to have a big night out in, but it's a place where you would have a great start too one! read more

I was trying to find a roast in Islington last Sunday around 3 PM, after being turned down by The Albion, Pig & Butcher, and Drapers Arms, when I came across this place and thankfully it serves food nonstop all day. The menu is predominantly pizzas, but my friend and I ordered the roast chicken salad and it was exceptionally good value. For £8.95 it's a full meal salad with large servings of parmesan, avocado, and pancetta. I didn't really like the croutons, as they were not very crunchy. But I was very pleased, I haven't had a salad like that in ages! We also had the tomato bruschetta and that was very good, although less good value for money as the two pieces are £4.75. This place has some lovely outdoor tables where you are allowed to drink and also attracted a small crowd for the football matches, though not crazy and you can totally have a normal conversation with only the occasional shout if someone scores a goal. I think it's very relaxing; it's a no-fuss place where you can have a drink, a decent conversation, and a pretty good bite to eat. read more

Really nice atmosphere, very friendly and relaxed. Awesome pizza and a good choice of rather delicious beer. Great for a night out with the lads or a nice meal with the missus! read more
