About this restaurant

Good for groups
Good for special occasions
Romantic

A part of the famous Mailbox shopping centre, Zizzi mailbox is in a unique and exciting location. The beautiful refurbishment of the Royal Mail's main sorting office has produced premier shopping destination in the heart of Birmingham. Taking this theme we have introduced a splash of mailbox colour into our scheme by painting our pizza oven a deep red. The restaurant is split into 2 main areas. Our raised floor area is great for large tables or parties with some funky light fittings to get into the party mood. The lower area towards the large window frontage, draws more on the canal and outdoor theme, with large floating cloud-like light fittings hanging lazily overhead. The walls are adorned with vintage mail sorting boxes and our artist Richard Sanderson has taken the themes of the area to produce a wall mural inspired by journeying canal boats meandering along the river.

The starter- cheese, was lovely. The beef brisket was more like a bolognese which was not what was expected and the potatos with the chicken tasted like they were fried in lemon. The cocktails tasted like there was no alcohol and were watered down. Wouldn’t recommend.

Hello, I came to Zizzis yesterday evening with my work colleagues as our Christmas meal. I called beforehand and the woman I spoke to was very helpful & confirmed I could extend our booking from 8 to 12 people which I greatly appreciated. When we got there the booking could not be found, causing me stress with everyone else - when in fact it was there all along and the person at the front didn’t look properly. Once we were seated we were given our waiter for the evening who unfortunately was not helpful in any way at all. - We ordered two portions of olives, only one appeared. - My friend ordered a meat pizza and when he came and bought it to her she asked for some extra pizza sauce to which he replied with it’s got meat on it, is that the meat you eat? (She was Indian and it just came across quite insensitive) - I don’t think he smiled once during the entire 2 hours we were there - He refused to engage with us, or ask if the meals were okay - Trying to ask for more drinks made us feel bad as it appeared to be a very tiresome task for him to do his job Unfortunately I did not get his name as no one at Zizzis wore name badges last night. I was deeply disappointed in the service we had for our Christmas meal yesterday evening. I understand it was busy however it was a case of this one persons awful attitude that seemed to ruin our meal. Please contact me via email on jeminie_patel05@hotmail.co.uk to discuss further. Thanks Jeminie

Management had no idea how to greet guests dining at the restaurant, lack of engagement/disregarding whom ever he interacted with. As a whole the restaurant seemed very understaffed (don’t take my word for it). However they all appeared overwhelmed (apart from 2/3), lack of training among the team. Food was very very bland. We specifically asked for a Bruschetta without Parmesan, listed on the menu (therefore we knew to ask). It arrived with Parmesan TWICE! Eventually we were brought a Bruschetta with a tiny amount of Tomato & Dressing. Made for a distressing date night 😂😂 Location is lovely, overlooking canal - looks great at night!

It was very noisy, and not a lot of waiting staff, my friend had a mushroom risotto which she didn’t eat, said was very bland and had no taste, nobody came to check if our meals were ok until they cleared the plates by that time it was too late, we weren’t offered any money back just if my friend would like anything else which she said no as we’d all finished.

Booked on Opentable for 7 people. Turned up and they said they didn’t receive our booking and it was Open Tables issue. Terrible service as we were not offered any alternatives.

Missed our table as we were late but they very kindly still accommodated us even though it was Black Friday and crazy busy! Super quick service, fab food, lovely staff and great atmosphere.
