Cheap lunch in Kings Cross when you are on the clock

Most people eating around Kings Cross are fitting food around a train, a shift or a meeting. Ordering at the till rather than waiting for a server is the difference between lunch taking ten minutes and taking an hour.

The Pizza Bar opens at 11am and the same prices run all day, so there is no late-afternoon deal to wait for.

Cheap eats towards Angel and Islington

Pentonville Road runs straight up towards Angel and Islington, so the Kings Cross Pizza Bar is an easy stop if you are heading that way rather than into the station.

Cheap places to eat in Kings Cross at any time of day

Cheap places to eat around Kings Cross often run on a lunch window, which is no use at nine in the evening. Here the menu and the prices are the same from open to close, seven days a week.

Collection and delivery are both available if you would rather eat somewhere else.

Feeding a group near the station

Six Margheritas cost £35.70 before drinks. Six Marinaras cost £23.70. Six Marinara-and-beer orders start at £44.70.

Tables are available for six to 50 people. Everyone orders what they want at the till and pays separately or together, so nobody ends up arguing over the bill.

Before or after a train

Station food is priced for people who have no choice. Pentonville Road is a short walk from the concourse at King’s Cross and St Pancras, which is usually the difference between a sandwich and a hot 12-inch pizza for the same money.

Because you order at the till and the pizza takes 5-10 minutes, it also works when there is not much time left before the train. If there is more time, the Pizza Bar is open until 11pm, so a delayed service is not a problem.
