• Harpers Bazaar:
  »Feast on long wooden tables, each with its own ›herb-station‹ - try to get the table with the olive tree growing from its centre. The doricum catarratto; an undiscovered little Sicilian summer white is just divine. Vapiano's unique ordering concept ensures for quick, easy service, allowing you to get back to the shops with the quickest of ease...«

• Time Out recommends Vapiano as one of the top cheap eats in London…
  »Food is gathered into groups…we found simple dishes the most successful: a large caprese pizza was crisp in the right places and subtly seasoned.«

• View London
  »it’s a refreshing – and delicious – change from the norm«

• Square Meal
  »Light & airy, the spacious interior gives off a laid-back vibe, & the guarantee of being back at your desk well within the hour is likely to resonate with the area’s time-pushed workers.«

• London Lite
  »Vapiano, the smart new pizza and pasta chain freshly arrived in London… has replaced waiters with a bit of plastic. Everything you choose - perhaps some freshly cooked pasta with Italian sausages and figs (£8.50) or a stone-baked pizza with rocket and Parmesan (£6.50) - you swipe on to your card. Time-saving and money-saving (no waiters, no service charge). We also like the vibrating ›pizza pagers‹ that buzz you when your food’s ready.«

• eat out london
  »The first thing that you’re asked upon arrival at Vapiano on Great Portland Street is
  ›Have you been here before?‹ which in London usually means that you’re in for
  something new and exciting...«
