Pizza Express in Edinburgh, City of

Brilliant children’s birthday party attended by my son who loved making his own pizza. Staff super and food was Devine.

Nice pizzas, good service and the staff were nice and friendly. Just incredibly expensive. Unfortunately we will not be returning due to extortionate prices.

Visited with a group that included five 1 years olds to celebrate a birthday for an early lunch. We were told to keep the babies quiet which is very disappointing for what is ostensibly a family friendly restaurant.

The delivery driver threw my food on the doorstep - so rude. Every single item is cold

Feeling completely conned - have just paid £20 or so for a cold and unpleasant pizza. Not what I paid for and very disappointing. Only 10 minutes late so should have been at least warm. My advice would be to order from somewhere else.

Food was delivered an hour late and the pizza was cold.

Took over an hour to deliver, (we live 20 minutes away). Pizza was cold and pepperoni was burnt, and dough was like rubber. Do not reccomend.

Terrible... Got a BBQ chicken pizza delivered, they put beef chunks on it instead of chicken and there were 2 pizza bases instead of 1.. butchered it completely. A frozen pizza is better

Excellent food. Excellent delivery. Unfortunately some of the food was lukewarm but still tasted good.

Pizzas overpriced, £15 for my average pepperoni which was small and between £17/19 for the Romana. Sides were served in cardboard boxes which I’d expect for a takeaway but not sitting in the restaurant. Childrens dough balls over cooked and hard. Water glasses on the table but no water. There was 1 waitress serving the entire restaurant which was dead for a Sunday afternoon yet we’re waiting a long time for our food. Perhaps because the short-staffed restaurant had to deal with Deliveroo drivers. Had to go looking for a spoon for my sons pasta as there was no waiting staff on the floor then also had to go ask for the bill. The restaurant was also freezing cold. Families tend to pick Pizza Express because it’s quick and good venue but we experienced neither today. Very disappointing and won’t be back

Food is so bad it's worse than just cooking a frozen pizza at home. On top of that it's like £15 for a pizza???? They've gotten too big for their boots, preying on fools who will keep paying these prices for the worst pizza. This pizza express is just round the corner from Matto, which is significantly cheaper and serves actually good nice pizzas. Do yourself a favour and avoid this godawful place, go somewhere that will treat you with the respect you deserve.

One of the worst pizzas I ever had, it was tasteless no sesoning at all only pepper (i have ordered margerita pizza). The dough was chewy as well. It was home delivery sa the quality could drop, that is only why I given 2 stars no 1.

Always an enjoyable time and experience. Such lovely and attentive staff and a really nice atmosphere. Food was amazing as well!

Ridiculously overpriced, ordered a £15 pizza and when it came I knew instantly it wouldn't be enough, the dough is good but toppings have little taste and wanted more food when I finished... service was okay but we ordered dessert and 10-15 minutes later had to order again as they had clearly forgotten about it.... a pint bottle of beer was 7.25... was an okay experience overall but not worth further visits

Friendly service. Lovely food. Nice venue. Deserves to be busier.

late, tasted good, but the portion size was so small I was very disappointed. rip off for 16£!

A beautiful restaurant inside an old church. Mid-afternoon visit but service and food were all fantastic. The only people in at one point which is why the atmosphere only scored 4 but I'm being very harsh with that.

Food is great anything made fresh is always great. I have no problem tipping but when I get served by one person, not 3 different people and when it's a change of shift

absolutely lovely place for a family lunch, Joanna is the kindest warmest server, thank you! ❤️

missing items and cold food. Ordered the meal deal, and dough balls came without the dips as advertised, so was left with plain bread balls. pizza was stone cold but was tasty once re-heated. overall disappointing from pizza express.

Food was overcooked, tough and cold on arrival. Only good thing was the garlic butter.

It was the best birthday party so far! My daughter celebrated her 8th birthday today. The organization was perfect, kids were always busy, had fun making their own pizzas, eating them and ice cream at the end! But our main amazement and admiration was Rob!! He made this party fantastic!! Daria was helping the kids a lot as well, but all the entertainment was on Robert! He is not only a professional chef but also very good with kids! I would highly recommend these place for your little ones! 10/10!

The children described it is the happiest birthday party they had ever attended. The waiters Robert were very experienced in leading the activities and the atmosphere was great. The children made pizza together They also played games and competition of designed the chef hat.

4 dough balls - 4! this is not a standard portion. pizza base like cardboard and large areas with no toppings

Tasty pizza, located in a truly authentic place - church. Good service. Impressively very clean toilets. Recommend.

Full stars but it took over an hour to get a driver. They were quick once they were on the move.

Pasta was a tiny portion and arrived without ham.

This was the PE in Morningside. Really good place.

Ordered prawn stater and bruschetta starter - awful. Prawns were sitting in a bowl of water with a couple peppers- had to return them, bruschetta was below average for the price. Pizzas we soggy, when asked for extra crispy. Staff were neglectful. Won’t be back, don't recommend

The food was actually unexpectedly good, especially the barbecue chicken pizza and halloumi bites. The billionaires sundae was great to share, not too sweet. Don't recommend the rainbow slaw though - the cabbage was bitter - everything else was pretty nice.

I paid extra for more dips but was only sent garlic butter, although nice it was disappointing that the other were missing

The food was cold and the pasta wasn’t quite cooked throughout.

food was cold by the time it arrived, quite greasy and calamari was burnt/black. Not impressed with the standards and what we paid for it!

I ordered a margarita pizza and the pizza was 80% pizza base and a small volume of cheese! If I wanted a cheeseless pizza I’d have ordered a cheeseless pizza! Not acceptable at all. I know businesses are trying to cut corners but this isn’t it. Worst pizza I’ve ever received. Defo won’t buy again!

Our server, George, made the night! Great fun, friendly, attentive, knowledgeable! Oh, and the vegan pizzas were tasty too 😃

Casual family meal. Good place to go.

ordered romana got normal pizza

Amazing staff, we arrived with a screaming toddler and they were nothing but kind and helpful throughout our lunch, food was delicious and waiters were all wonderful.

Interior was fantastic, looked gorgeous and was clean. Service was impeccable, our server was lovely and chatty and took wonderful care of us - checked we could have certain dishes the way we wanted and gave us A+ recommendations when certain items were unavailable. The food was also delicious, having been the only member of my party to have not come to Pizza Express before I agree with my fellow diners that it is awesome. Also had some crayons and a booklet for our kiddo which is always a plus.

delivery driver was absolutely terrible - phoned for directions and was incredibly rude........told me he couldn't find the address, had other deliveries to do so he would just leave the order at the petrol station and we could collect!!!

Ignorant, incompetent and down right rude, manager walked away while I was talking to her, really shocking behaviour, waited 30 mins for take out pizza which had been ordered 30 mins before that.

Food was cold. Delivered 50 minutes later than original delivery estimate. Expensive as well. Won’t order from Pizza Express again

We’ve been coming to this pizza express regularly with my son throughout the years. Yesterday, me and my partner were chased outside by the manager and asked if we had paid for the meal. The rudeness of the situation was such we were speechless. Worth saying we were asked to move table before the end of the meal, to which we agreed (albeit, not have been told that table was booked when we sat down). I won’t be able to shake that feeling and go back again. I’m giving 2 stars to acknowledge the kind waiter who served us and that we know for a long time.

good food, but unnecessarily expensive, as they force you to pick a side and a drink.

Lovely friendly team and great food.

Pizzas look like they were made by a toddler. Cheese all in the middle of pizza, and overwhelmed with sauce. Extremely disappointed

Came here tonight with a friend for the starter + main deal Mon- Thurs for £13.95. Booked via the app. Place was extremely quiet, although it was after 8pm. As my friend and I have used the pizza express app before we were keen to ‘check in’ and asked for a table sign to scan. However, the waitress dismissed this and said ‘we needed to order first’. We then both ordered off the ‘starter’ menu and a ‘classic pizza’ as instructed on the face of the voucher from the app. We had still not received a table sign. While ordering, we both sat with our pizza express home page open, keen to ‘check in.’ Neither the manager or waitress mentioned or double checked with us, that the included starters ONLY were the doughballs. When we received the bill we both asked again if we could check, as we were using the app to pay. The waitress quickly stated ‘we didn’t get the correct starters.’ I then explained how we couldn’t ’check in’ and therefore click on the deal to see. The waitress was far from apologetic and turned very hostile. Thankfully we used our UNIDAYS and got some money off. I am a regular at Pizza Express and am grateful for the gluten free options but the unhelpful, unbothered and failing to inform service, severely let this establishment done today. I will not return to this branch.

Very ordinary food served well but priced as if it’s something special. You can eat lunch just as well elsewhere in Morningside for no more than a tenner.

Didn’t arrive!!! At all, almost £60 for 3 pizzas. Never ordering again!

We booked late on in the day. Table for 2at 19:45. Arrived just shortly after & the place was dead, which is fair for a Wednesday night at the end of January. We ordered the Calamari starter (x2) & a Bruschetta with s Grand Chicken Caesar salad to follow. Absolutely rotten, stick to pizza & forget about everything else on the menu. Best of the pizza chain sit ins, but for us we won't be going back. Staff couldn't care less...avoid:-(

Order was requested for 6.15pm but arrived at 7.10pm

almost 2 hours late,, really disappointed as some of us had to stay up to eat when we have work in the morning starting at 6

Food was cold. And bbq sauce tub was empty

Ordered delivery for 7pm. Order made at 6pm. The order arrived at 8.45. Shocking service. Wouldn’t order again

Lovely pizza express. Slotted into an old church but the integrity of the building remains, it has been sympathetically converted into a dining and restaurant area. Great service and lovely staff.

Pizzeria located in an unusual location. The pizzas are good and plentiful. The service is cool, very attentive.

It was a bit cold when it arrived, I think we were on the furthest end of their delivery area but it was delicious none the less!

Missing dough balls. When trying to complain online about missing items it doesn't give option to choose dough balls as missing - only shows pizza. No option to write comment to clarify exact missing item before submitting refund request. Endless loop of unhelpful, incomplete 'help' options when selecting 'contact us'. Would like immediate refund of £4.95 for missing dough balls

The waiter was the best part- overshone the food by a long shot, which was tasty too.

Went on Hogmanay, staff great as always, food great too

I am posting this on behalf of my friend, who is East Asian and recently visited with her husband. Despite the fact that my friend is a fluent speaker of English, addressed the server in English, is not of Japanese descent, and does not speak Japanese, the server repeatedly said "arigato" to her. Although one could argue that this was the server's attempt at good customer service, it is perhaps more accurate to say that this was nothing more than racial profiling and an example of Pizza Express' extremely poor equality, diversity, and inclusion training for employees (or lack thereof). Given Edinburgh's increasingly international demographics, the attitude displayed by this server is offensive, outdated, and something straight out of a Rat Pack monologue.

arrived cold courier could not find my house after an hour delay and had no insulated box to keep the pizza warm

Staff only used about one third of available tables and consequently we ended next to a table of 4 unsupervised boisterous 10 yearolds. Food was good but it wont be a future branch of choice.

Lovely food! Delivered on time 👍🏻

Driver didn’t even deliver it, we picked it up ourselves as it had been 2 hours since placing the order and hadn’t even been picked up yet. Funny bit is, the driver was in the restaurant chatting away to his pal, there is no communication between drivers & restaurant staff so they just stand waiting for no one to come over.

Pizza in a hot oven for 6 min and wings in air fryer for same. Tidy

Phoned and asked for vegan cheese on two of our pizzas due to an allergy. pizzas came 30 mins late, me he was not what I ordered and obv had normal cheese. my daughters dough balls were burned black and my husband's pizza was so thin it was actually transparent. so disappointed.

Second time i have ordered and both have taken 3-4 hours despite saying 45-55mins. The restaurant did not even start cooking the food until at least two hours after. No apology or compensation, do not order from here.

Meal was ordered at 6.20 with an expected delivery time of 7.20 which seemed a lot for a nearby restaurant but within acceptable bounds. Meal wasn’t delivered until 8 despite driver ‘picking up’ according to app at around 7. Far too long.

Came here for an end of term celebration with a friend and we had a lovely meal!! We shared the hot honey dough balls which were incredible; the honey works really well. We had a Romana pizza for a main which was the perfect size, and of course we had to get stracciatella ice cream for pudding. All round excellent food👌. And we were served by George who's energy really made the whole experience perfect. He was extremely welcoming and was super willing to answer any questions we had. It's really admirable how enthusiastic he is and how he genuinely talks to each customer. Thanks for a lovely meal and we hope to come back again soon :))

Food came an hour and a half after original expected delivery. Food wasn’t particularly warm when it did arrive even though we were assured that it was fresh for the driver leaving.

As reliable as ever. Excellent service from pleasant staff. The place was busy but service was remarkably quick. Food was great and I just love their Merlot wine.

Meal was ok, pizza was cold as delivery late.

Really enjoyed the food, members of staff were great 👍

As reliable as ever and a pleasure to visit.

Very overpriced, coffee and soft drinks were very expensive

Pizza is fine but prices are quite high

The food was lovely, the service was excellent; the young lady we had first made a point of making our daughter feel really special on her birthday(6), and then the tall bearded gentleman that brought her sundae, stuck a candle in it and came over singing happy birthday- pure class! Thank you very much, she was talking about it up till bedtime!

Wings were fantastic however the pizza was completely cold. The whole order took an hour

Waited almost two hours for a pizza!

Food was freezing cold delivery lady was very rude.

Cavernous room. Empty tables. £17 for a pizza. Will not last long.

The pasta is inedible it is burnt terrible cooking

food took over an hour and twenty mins to arrive and arrived cold. one pizza was very small, not worth the cost.

Always friendly & helpful service. I opted for the American hot & it was hot!

It took over 2 hours to deliver from when I ordered

The base was undercooked and soggy, akin to eating cardboard; despite requesting a nice crispy base (as expected in PE) due to an equally bad experience just over a week ago. This request was clearly ignored by the restaurant/kitchen and customers on JustEat appear to be getting a very poor quality of food.

is this for real ? this pizza is so thin there’s a hole in it. chewy cold burnt won’t even call it pizza. don’t order from here. chose somewhere else

Should be called pizza delayed rather than express considering just how long it takes for the food to come out! You’re left for an hour to sip on drinks and feel sick by the time the meal comes out. Deliveroo is evidently prioritised 🙄

Placed order at 18.15 for estimated delivery of 35-50 mins, delivery should be with us 19.05 and was delivered cold and dry. Dough balls were delivered with no garlic butter, so essentially eating just plain balls. Really disappointed

Nice pizza and dough balls. Too salty though. Almost 30 mins late despite ordering more than 90 mins in advance of when requested

Pizza Express in Morningside is not our usual outlet from Pizza Express as we normally go to Victoria Terrace when in town. When in Bruntsfield/ Morningside area we would go to “MATTO” on Morningside Road for pizza but unfortunately they were too busy and had a queue out the door. The restaurant had a fairly Good atmosphere and the waiter was friendly but as it got busier smaller tables were ignored over bigger parties of custom. The pizzas were so thin you could barely pick them up as they just collapsed & were slightly burnt because they were so thin. We always get romana pizza so there is definitely a difference between this restaurant and other Pizza Express in town.

Sehr leckere Pizza! Schöne Auswahl und zügige Bedienung. Kann man gut hingehen oder sich etwas mitnehmen / bestellen.

Great service and great food. The waiters here are very good at their job

Had a lovely meal, the staff were great and service was really good.

Fantastic staff, great banter between everyone working! Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere!

We had a great family dinner here, food was all delicious, big portions. Lucas was a personable and professional server. We’ll be back next time we’re in Edinburgh.

Stunning place to eat at. worth the money and overall great food

A fantastic meal in a beautiful building! Our service was great - the manager gave us personal recommendations for the pizzas and even paired the wine to our order. Excellent halloumi bites also! We will be back 😄

Pizza was very small for a takeaway pizza and only 1 single slice of cheesy garlic bread for 5 quid. Very disappointed.
