Dairy Supply Company Coptic Street / Little Russell Street
The first Pizza Express (1965) in the country, and an example of old lettering surviving. Here it is very much an integral part of the original building and is accompanied by various monograms of the company initials. When the company expanded, they copied their original lettering on the small extension they built alongside in Little Russell Street. In total there are seven places on the two façades where the company name or initials appear. The building – including the lettering – was refurbished in 1999.
