Stanley Bridge Pizza is a casual waterfront eatery on El Geish Road in the Stanley district of Alexandria, Egypt, positioned near the landmark Stanley Bridge and its row of seafront cafes. The kitchen serves an Egyptian-Italian menu built around pizza adapted to local tastes alongside Egyptian street-food staples, rather than a traditional Neapolitan or chef-led approach. Signature dishes include Egyptian-style pizza, feteer meshaltet, a flaky layered Egyptian pastry served sweet or savoury, and grilled cheese sandwiches, all priced for a quick, affordable meal. The setting is informal and lively, with outdoor or semi-outdoor seating facing the Corniche and Stanley Bridge, drawing a young, casual crowd rather than diners seeking a quiet meal; noise levels can be moderate to high, especially in the evening. There is no wine or cocktail programme, with drinks limited to soft beverages and juices in keeping with the casual, family-friendly format. Reservations are not part of the culture at this kind of walk-in eatery, though outdoor tables with bridge views can fill on weekend evenings.
