Pizza Express in Edinburgh, City of

My server was Aga and she was a delight and so on top of everything. I got the new mushroom truffle pizza and as a former New Yorker I can say its thin crust and perfect topping ratio was perfect. I ate the whole freaking thing and didn’t even take a picture. Granted I walked a lot today but I couldn’t stop it was so delicious and not heavy. Def recommend.

Food was cold on delivery. Not blaming delivery guy. He was very polite and respectful He helped the star rating, from going lower Sides were stingy, with regards to amount Know people have to make a living But less was just that. Less. Not even close to more Pizzas were good. Always happy to give another chance! Cheers

It's Pizza Express at its best. If you like Pizza Express food, the location of this particular restaurant is great for an evening meal, so you can for a drink afterwards. Great service from staff. Atmosphere is good. Some of the round tables are a bit small for the big pizza plate. Make sure you are seated at the back.

Great food, server Aga was terrific

Would have liked to review the food and drink but didn’t get a chance to order any! Have just left a quiet pizza express in west end with wife and daughter as nobody bothered to serve us after being seated for ages. We were given menus and that was it. Waitress spent all her time trying to sort out an internet issue and sort other customers bills whilst the duty manager walked around and paid zero attention to asking us if we wanted anything so we ended up walking out. As we left we were given very empty apologies by both members of staff! For what! Neither of them bothering to come and take a drinks or food order or pay any attention at all in a quiet restaurant! Absolutely useless management. Good luck in there.

Wonderful location. Doughballs were really good. Pizza was to die for. Flavor galore. Perfectly made. Great portion as well. Music is all over the map. We waited longer for our ticket than our food. We asked 2x. It was just so long we didn’t understand bc it was empty. It was a Tues night. Not sure if server had a bad day or what.

Attitude of staff isn’t up to Normal service at a pizza express horrendous service and over charged

My food arrived an hour and forty five minutes after ordering and arrived cold. I am really disappointed and will request a refund

Great place and amazing service - Aga made our stay very pleasant . Really recommended!

Very poor service pls don’t order from here especially on online. Am still waiting for my order

Most of my order was missing and was over 45mins late. Could not contact restaurant to enquire and cannot query through just eat. Shocking service.

Ordering missing items and pizza pretty cold. Couldn’t get through to the restaurant

Didn’t even bother to turn up but still took the money. then refused refund!

Wrong order came to my house I ordered gluten free margarita and delivery driver came with dough balls and a different pizza. And driver won’t go back to the restaurant and get my pizza

Order accepted at 16.25 and was delivered at 18.20. Could not cancel as would still be charged.

Disappointing experience at Pizza Express Queensferry St, Edinburgh. Usually a safe bet for good pizza and service but not yesterday. Front of house guy was unfriendly and unwelcoming and looked very stressed for an averagely busy Sunday afternoon. Sat us at a table staff had been sitting at without tidying up or replenishing cutlery, napkins or glasses. Grumped when asked for a high chair and said he knew nothing about it despite me discussing it earlier that day with a colleague - quote ‘nobody told me, I just started’. He would benefit from some customer care training. It felt like everything was too much effort for him and spoilt the experience of going out for a bite to eat with family. To top it off the pizza I had which I usually love (garlic prawn on classic base) was stodgy with a minimum of topping, more cherry tomatoes than prawn. I’ve been visiting Pizza Express for years and it was by far the worst experience I’ve had. The front of house guy was obviously having a bad day but that shouldn’t impact on customer enjoyment.

Food was great! Service was also very good. Our food was made fast and well made. Hoping to come back another day! Very nice!

food was cold and burnt too! delivery driver was ignorant and lacking normal reading and common sense skill's. Fulll refund or my original order, delivered, eatable and on time!

Walk in Sunday evening and were welcomed. Lovely staff and nice new menu (since our last visit). Loved the new DUO options.

I am generally a big fan of this chain & I always make a point of ya big a pizza at Pizza Express BIT this was utterly disappointing. The dough had bits charred others undercooked. I had requested extra anchovies that were hardly noticeable. Overall super disappointing & not up to standard

Great experience! Delicious food! Kamil welcomed us, he was very warm and professional. During the whole time, he took care of us better than I could have expected. Perfect service! The food was ready very quickly which made us very happy because we were very hungry. Everything was so delicious! Every request was heard and fulfilled. Thank you for such a wonderful time. We will definitely come back soon!

Good value, nice meal and friendly staff.

The flavor was good. If they added more cheese and cooked the pizza longer, it would be a 4 star for food. Pizza dough was good and salad was fresh. Brownie bites were good and rich.

this says delivered but didn't come to me!!!!!!!!!!!! refund please

I often collect a takeaway from this branch. Food is always tasty. Staff are very friendly and efficient. Always deliver in terms of quality and service.

When we arrived the restaurant was very busy, which is usually a good sign. However, the food was not very good at all. I ordered prawn pepperonata which was a penne dish. Some of the penne was burnt at the edges. Just how you manage to burn penne I do not know. The sauce was more of a coating for the penne than a real sauce and there were some rather small and overcooked prawns. My wife ordered a margarita pizza which was rather skimpily topped. At £16.45 for the prawn dish this was well over-priced for what was a pretty poor approximation of Italian food.

Excellent pizza, friendly and very quick service

Unhappy with the pasta as it had no chicken in it

Great food and excellent service.

Awful. Ridiculously slow service. Disinterested staff. No atmosphere. Toilets out of order. Mediocre, over priced food. Won't be back.

Usually love the food but not the usual standard tonight. Garlic butter missing for the dough balls. Only five bits of chicken on the piccolo pizza and bruschetta was greasy and well done. Cost of all takeaways are shooting up so for the price I want to enjoy the food. Bit of a miss tonight.

Pizza Express Queensferry Street Edinburgh. It’s a while since we have been to this Pizza Express and looks like its a while since other guests have been also, we were the only people there ! Lunch at 1pm should be busier than this. We were shown to a table in the back area which was nice and sunny , would be even brighter if the green mould on the glazed roof was washed off. A very friendly and helpful waitress took our order for drinks and pizza which all arrived very quickly , probably due to the fact only one other couple had turned up. The pizza was good but as long term customers we can’t help but notice that the Leggera pizza is getting smaller and that the fillings on the Romana much less too. At £16.75 & £15.75 it’s beginning to be poor value. Nice bottle of Nero D’Avola £24.25 price in Ask £17.95 ! MATTO pizza do much better pizzas for around the £12 mark, so a bit concerned that Pizza Express seem to be slipping with quality. My photos will show previous pizza’s and their generous fillings compared to now. Hopefully this was just a blip and not a trend to save money as we do like Pizza Express pizza’s and will go again to try another day.

There was an item missing from my order so disappointing

This was the worst food! The pizza was delivered in time but was the wrong pizza and old and very cold! Starter bruschetta was un edible and had to be binned! The desert was a small cheap frozen cheese cake and a massive disappointment for the price! I will never order again!

All toilets bar one cubicle were out of use which is no good in a busy restaurant but other than that the food was as good as ever.

This is absolutely ridiculous! I ordered a couple of pizzas to my flat and the address was right but the pin was wrong. I don’t know where the driver left it but it wasn’t here. I was never contacted to say they were having trouble finding my place and I had no way of contacting them. I submitted a refund and I never got the option to get the delivery and tip back and there’s no way of contacting anyone. This is disgusting! I’m appalled at not only the actions of the driver but lack of contacts

Pre-booked visit to celebrate my sons 9th birthday. He had chosen this restraunt for his birthday meal. From the moment we stepped through the door I regretted our descision to eat here. There was no warm welcome. The man who I believe was the manager on that day, came down to the stand and just put his hand to his ear at me and never spoke. At this point we should have just walked straight back out but my son had been looking forward to this meal. Things continued to get worse when he brought our food over, he did not place it down on the table. Bizarrely, he just held the plate above my son. I can only assume he was expecting some sort of response from him. My son is disabled and unable to communicate so became distressed. We didn't stay for dessert as planned and left upset and angry.

A pizza chain, but a cut above the rest. The staff at this one are great, food good, reasonable price, what's not to like?

I went here for lunch. Food ridiculously hot. Burnt roof of my mouth. Now in pain.

Awful service rude service avoid at all costs attitude of staff far lower than expected not with the visit many better locations

Pizza arrived very cold which was a shame as it has a lovely flavour.

Nice Pizza. Wee bit lack of atmosphere. Toilets were out of order ... We will be going to Pizza Express again maybe not this one.

Pizza was cold. Calamari was soggy and they forgot to put my juice in with order! I would like refunded please!

A bit pricey but the food was really good and the staff was extra friendly. They have stuff to keep kids occupied, that was a nice bonus.

Good Italian food. They also offer a free dish - dough balls if we sign-up on their app and show it to the staff. Avail it, it's worth it.❤️💙

driver told me to go to his car to get food. said he came to door and knocked which he didn't. door was open

Original table we were put in probably the worst on the floor but it was easy to move to a better place. Our orders were swiftly taken and the food came on a timely basis. I wasn’t too wowed by the few jalapeños I got as an extra filling but all the food was very tasty. Used the app to tip and check out which I find hugely useful. We are gold members so clearly fans of this chain.

This is a cosy pizzeria that's perfect for both quick workday lunches with friends or colleagues when you fancy a hot lunch in a rush, or more leisurely drawn out family friendly affairs. The staff are friendly and efficient. While some of the starters I've had have been mediocre, the menu is extensive, and the pizzas and desserts are yummy. The bill can get expensive if you're paying the menu prices, but they often run special offers in their app which can be combined if more than one person at the table is registered to add up to some quite generous savings.

Still waiting on my pizza woth two very hungry children the app has it recorded as delivered at 1807. No driver no pizza

Literally ridiculous Order mozzarella and tomatoes and as you can see from picture it’s not even a third of a ball was delivered how can anybody think that is acceptable Complete robbery Pizza was floppy and undercooked The salad undressed

Got my delivery wrong- pizza and dough balls. Ended up with pizza and potato fries. Not great for a two item order

Food was not cooked the sauce was stuck together in big clumps and the pasta was solid nearly 16 pound for a pasta and couldn’t even eat it very disappointed

We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at this Pizza Express venue. We'd booked way in advance as we knew it would be busy just before Christmas, service was excellent, despite how busy it was and the food and wine did not disappoint. We ordered the seasonal dough balls in blankets, which were absolutely delightful, 3 Romana pizza's with various toppings and the seasonal dough balls with cinnamon and icing sugar and a salted caramel dipping sauce, simple but a game changer in desserts. Our meal was leisurely, we weren't in the least bit hurried, the time between courses was just right and a perfect way to catch up with friends before Christmas. I thanked the manager and staff as we were leaving, we really couldn't fault the experience. Thank you so much.

Great food and service and the atmosphere is amazing! We loved the food here!

Awful! I did not receive any of my order. I have been waiting over 2 hours for it to say it was delivered but not to me

I've ordered my food at 13:00 and it came at 17:00. That's a 4 hours wait

My friend and I booked a table here for dinner this evening and she asked to sit at a different table further away from the draughty front door (restaurant 1/3 full) and it was then downhill after that with the waiter (initials JW, as don't know if he can be named). He was incredibly rude and ignored both of us when we tried to speak to him. I then went and stood right beside him and asked 3 times for a menu and each time he completely blanked me. The chef who was beside him looked at him and me and back at him. We spoke to another member of staff about him and there was an acknowledgement that that's what he's like. It was incredibly unprofessional behaviour and he shouldn't be working with the public.

ridiculous customer experience - dont order there you order pizza, it arrives cold, and the wine you ordered has been forgotten. 90 pounds for cold pizza and wine that comes later on second delivery. weakest pizza delivery experience i have ever had.

Worst Pizza Express meal we’ve ever had. Ordered a home delivery and literally everything was cold. Paid extra to be delivered to first and yet food was terrible. Pasta still hard, halloumi not cooked, pizza rubbish. Will never use this one again!

We had a lovely lunch here. We had two toddlers - the kids menu is brilliant. The vegan giardinera was great as always. The waitress was really helpful. The only thing is that the disabled toilet/baby changing is hidden and not signposted - next to the kitchen. There should be a sign at the top of the stairs to stop people going down to discover there's no baby changing.

The driver rang my buzzer but I could not let him in. By the time I got down to the stair door he was driving off. Why can’t the drivers contact you via the.app or by phone if there is an issue. Over an hour waiting and still got no lunch!!! Going to stop using just eat as other apps are better!!

Very good place. Very very good food kind people.

A nice cosy place to eat a pizza. Popular, so booking recommended. No issue with the food or the service.

The pasta tubes were solid and not edible. Pizzas were nice

Great customer service and great pizza.

Waited extra long on finding a driver then the food ended up being cold. Wasn’t great sadly sorry thanks again :(

Delicious! Bruschetta yum and pizza really nice! Not piping hot and I like my food hot but didn’t spoil the experience too much.

Arrived without a reservation as a table of 6 and were quickly seated. Drinks order was taken, then a short while after food orders placed, drinks arrived starters were quite quick in arriving, then it was a long wait for main courses, 3 of the party had picked double portions from the kids menus, all arrived as single portions, the 2nd portions arrived, but sadly for one of the kids their pasta was not very edible and she left all the pasta, one of the pizzas has a pretty burnt edge to it, and I saw other tables get the same. So although the food was good, the service was very slow and orders not given correctly. I think this chain needs to re-address the word Express in their title

On our first trip to Scotland we went to Pizza Express on our first evening in Edinburgh. The first meal was so delicious, we went there again on the second evening as well. Thumbs up for the people over there, the service and the good food!

Pizza très bonne, vin blanc pinot gris infecte, imbuvable.

Calamari was tender (not chewy, which is a common mistake in other restaurants) but it was not crispy at all. Good though overall.

Food cold and needed to be reheated. Not very enjoyable.

Excellent service despite being very short staffed . The server explained that we may have to wait a little as they were very busy . Nonetheless our wine was served immediately and other than after a wait of 10 mins our food arrived . We did note that the manager who welcomed us, showed us to our table was also making pizza’s and dealing with other customers ! Nonetheless he was kindly courteous and efficient when we pointed out that we had a VIP discount and fixed out our bill. We will certainly return and commend him and his staff . Dr I K … and AW . Edinburgh.

Great place, very friendly staff and food as always was amazing. Fantastic vegan options

Normal pizzas were great, however I wouldn't recommend ordering gluten free pizzas from here. It was all sauce and barely any cheese.

Nice quality of the food . Great and friendly staff . 100% recommended . Would slice the pizza before serving tho. (Not enough space to slice it on a plate )

Arrived promptly, still hot and was super-tasty - thanks!

Pas forcément les meilleures pizzas que l on ait mangées: pate quelconque, peu de garniture, choix d ingrédient peu vaste.

Went for my friends 40th birthday, found the service very slow I got half carbonara and half pizza sharing with a friend we found it was not very hot.

Friendly place. Service was quick. Pizza was great. Drinks were good and well priced. The price was very reasonable.

Ahh the first of many places I visited when arriving in Edinburgh and it will certainly won't be my last! The staff were very welcoming and had a charming twinkle in their eye while the food was as amazing as a Sunday morning stoll in Switzerland.

Bizarre to have to complain about a lack of cheese on a two pizzas. Plenty of toppings and almost no cheese! Not bothering with that again.

Value for money is not the case here. I understand that the late arrival time of our meal was due to the availability of couriers but when it arrived we were very disappointed with the size of the pizzas versus the price. For a meal of two little pizzas, and I mean little, and three side dishes to cost over £50 is not on. We will not be ordering again.

Staff were so friendly & pizzas were yummy x

Excellent Italian restaurant with courteous and efficient staff

Service was what food was amazing

Good pizza 🍕 restaurant, sat near the back window nice on a sunny day, the pizza good and service also spot on

Ottima la pizza romana con funghi e prosciutto, tanto origano e buono anche il pomodoro

Fantastic as always. Great service from Caroline! Great food, drinks and vibe. Will be back soon! Lovely beetroot Buddha bowl.

Caroline was amazing! Great food and lovely service - a really friendly vibe - nice restaurant in the heart of edinburgh

Wonderful staff, specially the guy who seemed in charge and the blonde smiley girl, they really made such a warm atmosphere in the restaurant. Lovely pizzas as always, and the honey comb slice to die for.

Food was good but really busy when we visited

Hele goede service, vriendelijk personeel! Het eten is zeer goed, niks op aan te merken. Heel leuke aangekleed van binnen en rustige muziek

The pasta was hard and inedible had to throw it away the pasta was 15 pounds and couldn't be eaten. Contacted just eat for a refund still waiting 2 and 1/2 weeks and still nothing. Will not be ordering from here again. Not the first time I've been sent orders with items missing that I paid for and never received.

The decor and ambience just makes the pizza more delicious than ever

Food was good quality but portion size of pizza poor for the money being spent, doesn’t actually specify size of pizza

Great pizza as always and a buzzing atmosphere. This is a well priced place to eat and make sure you use the company's app while there as good bargain's are available.

Pizza Was cold whend arrived

Barely any bbq on the very small pizza and the garlic butter was clearly freezing. Lamentable

Received an update saying it was delivered Over 29 minutes ago.. I've been waiting for it and nobody has even attempted to contact me or delivered anything to me. Shocking. Didn't expect that from a large company like pizza express. Gutted... and hungry!
