Ecco Pizza

Ecco Pizza is a pizza takeaway on Drury Lane, the long historic street running through the eastern side of Covent Garden and its theatre district. This stretch of the street sits among mansion blocks and food places close to the surrounding theatres, and the counter serves residents, office workers and theatregoers alike.

Drury Lane is one of the oldest streets in London and gives its name to the nearby Theatre Royal. Along this stretch it mixes residential blocks with small shops, takeaways and food places, with a calmer daytime character that grows livelier as curtain-up approaches. Ecco Pizza fits that rhythm, offering quick counter service for food on the move, with vegan options alongside the standard pizzas.

A pizza takeaway in Covent Garden for before or after the show

As a takeaway, the format is grab-and-go: order at the counter, wait a few minutes and carry the box back towards the theatres or home. Trade builds in the evenings around performance times, and the central position makes it a handy stop before or after a show rather than a destination for a long sit-down meal.

What to expect on a visit

Opening hours are not published by the business, so it is worth calling ahead before making a special trip, especially late in the evening. Covent Garden station on the Piccadilly line is the nearest Underground stop, a short walk to the west, with Holborn to the north-east and Temple to the south, so the takeaway is easy to reach on foot along Drury Lane from either end. Our guide to takeaways in Covent Garden lists the district's other quick options, and for a sit-down sourdough pizza Franco Manca on Maiden Lane is a short walk south.
