Pizza Express in Wokingham

Early evening 5pm seems to be parents and young kids time - lots of excited children making a lot of noise and stressed out mums/ dad and or grandparents. Been there, done that but less tolerant now my kids are grown up. Suggest you go a bit later in the evening for the adult time. Food great as always as was service. Even better with a voucher or Tesco points to splash

I have been there twice with my friends. We lived it. I really liked the atmosphere, and what Ive ordered was tasty!

Dirty and staff didn’t seem happy! Big change to how it usually feels which is a shame! Food still really good but you could just sense an atmosphere.

Order takeaway, items missing from order, glute free pizza not as ordered. Phone and manager wasn't interested - certainly not ordering from wokingham branch again As per comment below, phone and left message for general manager now awaiting call back update - you guess correctly no call back, response was lip service and Pizza express offered poor service via delivery which didn't get sorted - avoid

We recently celebrated our daughter’s 10th birthday at Pizza Express Wokingham. The staff, food and the overall experience were brilliant. We were 16 of us. Thank you for making her birthday a memorable one for all of us.

A late afternoon visit after a trip to the Everyman. Just wanted a great pizza in nice surroundings with good service. Hit the spot on all counts, lovely pizzas and very friendly service. Don’t need anything more so 100% happy - thank you.

The usual excellent service from the Team. Friendly and welcoming food just as we would expect. One favour can we change the menu to include the Ginger Cake as main pudding as I would order that every time I came

Excellent as always, attentive service, good food, a drink was out of stock but not the end of the world. Fairly quiet for a Friday. The 50% offer is only on some pizza and each member of the party needs the pizza express app to get the discount against there part of the bill, read the small print 😜

Nice pizza express on Broad St wokingham. Went Boxing Day. Place was very quiet. Had very good service for a party of 6. Pizzas all good. Desserts also good, the mini desserts with a coffee are a great idea. Overall very satisfied with this Pizza Express and would use again. No problem using Tesco vouchers.

Food was good. Freshly prepared. Service excellent and all staff very friendly.

Had a lick of paint and new furniture, building and facilities started to show their age. Portions sizes definitely shrinking.

The pizza arrived extremely cold. It was so cold that the cheese topping had become hard and stale therefore inedible. For the price of the pizza paid almost £17 I would expect it to be at least decent. Won't be ordering from again a total waste of money and appetite.

The Wokingham team are outstanding! You always feel well looked after & welcomed so warmly. The food is always excellent & I always feel safe eating there, which as a coeliac is extremely important! & the brownie is the best brownie EVER!! Wonderful experience as always! It’s my treat to myself whenever I can go!

If I could give 0 stars I would. After being made to wait for 10 minutes for our table, which was pre booked, we spent 20 minutes trying to get someone to bring us some water for the table. The attitude of the staff during this time was appalling, and when we finally received our water we asked if we could place a drinks order. The waiter’s response was ‘no, I can’t’ and he walked away. Not once did we receive an apology for the delay and we ended up leaving having not ordered any food. I definitely wouldn’t recommend visiting.

Food good as always service was very very slow

This place is an absolute shambles….more staff than customers but still terrible service, chef outside smoking, staff more interested in talking than taking our drinks and food order…. so poor we walked out after 20 minutes of waiting (not done that before). Not to mention the complete lack of wheelchair access. So poor…shame can’t leave a zero star review.

Cold pizzas, slow service… family not happy at all

Probably the best pizzas in any restaurant. Everything is just right, not to oily, fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly. Not as much topping as Domino's, but not as oily. Half the size of Pizza Hut pizza's and double the price. But if you want very good pizza, in a restaurant, this place is hard to beat.

Food way better now than a few years ago. Pricey though.

Luigi was amazing.. His service was friendly, but professional. Well done! Food was great and company better 😊 5 stars !

The service from the staff was fab, Luigi especially- he always greats us with a smile and that is why we always come back to this pizza express. The good is excellent - fab chefs - definitely recommend here

Pizza express has lost its way, after 15+ years of visiting this branch we were so disappointed last night. My pizza was almost cold and soggy with very little attention to the toppings. My wife’s was also not very hot. After complaining we were given a meagre 30% discount, although when the bill arrived it also had other items on which were clearly from another table! The ambience of the restaurant was far from cosy and the service appeared rushed. Doubt we will ever revisit, Dominoes will probably be our port of call for a decent pizza from now on.

Give Anton a pay rise! Amazing worker

Fab pizza express, very spacious and fantastic staff

Considering it was a Tuesday night, it was really busy. Really enjoyed the food I had and the friendly staff made for a pleasant evening. Thank you

Good place, good food and very good ambience

Excellent service today ,well done team Pizza Express , great food as well !

I came here last Friday with some family from out of town. Needless to say it was one of the finest dining experiences I’ve been fortunate enough to have. The staff were nothing short of exceptional with one waitress helping my nephew with his colouring book despite the restaurant being packed and her being run off her feet. It was the true definition of service with a smile and I highly recommend this establishment to anyone thinking of going.

Fantastic place for Holi celebrations. I was here with Chris Martin, who was leading the festivities, and I can honestly say that I will never spend another Holi anywhere else. Very generous with the pizza sauce and the rousing staff-led rendition of Viva la Vida sent chills down my spine. Pizza Express Wokingham is truly what Holi is all about.

Small entrance is deceiving as it opens into a long and warm space. All staff we interacted with were very friendly. Didn't have to wait long for drinks starters or mains. And the speed of service didn't diminish the quality. Highly recommended this branch!

Friendly staff, standard (good quality) Pizza Express menu. I sat in the area at the rear of the restaurant, which was nice and cosy on a winter's evening.

Staff were so lovely, excellent service, really looked after our little daughter

Great place for a relaxed lunch. We went as part of a large group and were there for about 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon. We were not rushed at all, the food came out quickly and the staff were all excellent and very friendly. I would recommend.

They've mastered vegan cheese on pizzas at last! Everything very fresh and delicious. The vegan American hot was just enjoyable as the last veggie one I had here many years ago

I ordered a pepperoni pizza through just eat. Ordered it at 5 :00pm by 6:30pm It’s still have not arrived when I phoned up PizzaExpress Wokingham. The person on the phone was rude and said it’s not there responsibility. It is just eat what is both their responsibility to make sure the food gets there and it just eat is no good at doing deliveries they should not use just eat I would not Just eat or PizzaExpress Wokingham

A lovely friendly restaurant. Drinks and food delivered immediately. Food lovely and hot and full of flavour. Perfect all round.

Should probably close tables if you haven't got the staff to keep up with diners. (I can only assume you was short staffed) First ever time I received cold rock hard dough balls. Was disappointing. And when mentioned to a waitor just took my plate and said nothing, i had to ask for another plate!

Service was fantastic tonight. My teenage son has fractured his elbow and the waiter cut his pizza with no fuss to help him. Food was great but the service was totally brilliant and the place was so busy.

We went out for dinner. We like a nice relaxed atmosphere and a nice ambient in this restaurant. Waitress was very kind and provided excellent service and the food was as expected. We've been to various Pizza Express restaurants and we really wanted to leave a review to say that this is our favourite one.

Excellent service, Atmosphere Little noisy with small children. Polite Staff.

I took my Daughter to pizza Express in wokingham for her 18th Birthday, having never been to any branch of pizza Express before and being the first time I went I can honestly say what an absolute brilliant choice of restaurant. The staff were really amazing and so friendly that it was like I'd gone to dinner at a relatives house. The food was cooked to perfection, the pizza's and pasta Dishes and king prawn starter I'd happily order again. Its a Very nice family oriented environment to Dine in. The table service was excellent, as were the staff and couldn't find fault in anything even if I wanted to. I'd definitely go back and I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to family and friends and i'll definitely spread the word via social media too. Over all was 100% worth the bill at the end especially the added celebratory touches at the end. Thank you all at pizza Express wokingham for the whole experience,# Natasha and family.

Good pizzas and great salads. I've had both and they can even make pizzas that used to be on the menu. There are usually vouchers online. The sweets look good.

Arrived at 17.47 and got the bill at 20.35. When I asked to pay the bill the waitress nodded and left and never came back, had to ask two other staff members before I had the opportunity to pay. Was offered a drink once in the whole evening on the hottest day the UK has ever had. Was never brought or offered the desert or drink for the kids menus. Food was average, service was awful. I would consider it the single worst restaurant experience I've ever had.

Pizza only. Margherita is good.

Meal for my nieces 6th birthday sat down at 6pm had our food at 8pm…. They clearly had staff problems but not once did anyone tell us this and they didn’t even come over and apologise for the wait or offer some drinks. Sat there for 90 minutes without a single member of staff coming over even though clearly a table full of empty drinks. Food came and was okay but one pizza needed a chainsaw to cut l, heard someone tell customers the chef had gone??? Saw families walk out as couldn’t wait any longer, yet they continued to serve Deliveroo orders and completely ignore customers who made the effort to come in. At the end had to pretty much ask for a discount and apology, the assistant manager put the bill down and said “I gave you 20% off” not sorry for the wait or anything then waited 15 minutes to pay as they all disappeared. Probably the worst customer service I’ve ever had

The staff were so friendly and help full and the food was hot and tasted good

Delicious. Partner and I shared 2 vegan pizzas which were divine! Staff were super friendly and considering how busy it was they kept it all running smoothly.

We've been to this Pizza Express many times over the years and never had any complaints. We visited it for my youngest daughters birthday on an early Monday evening. This followed a successful trip there some weeks back and hence why she wanted to return. It was probably the most quiet I've seen it. Customers were sat at one end of the restaurant and restaurant staff congregated down the other end which made it hard to attract attention. There was no consistent service. Drinks arrived after the starters once we had prompted the waitress who hadn't put the order through. Mains came before the starter dishes had been cleared away. The mains then came apart from my daughters pizza. We waited 5 minutes before having to chase - there was no attempt to ensure we had everything we had everythin ordered. My Calabrese pizza that I ordered wasn't that warm. My daughter needed a glass of water and I had to go down the end where the staff were huddled in order to ask for one. At the end of the meal their "internet had gone down" and I had to pay by cash instead of card. Never had this before, and felt a bit suspect. Very dissappointing all in all. Needs stronger management and better staff training.

This Wokingham pizza express always take exceptionally long. I’m new to the area and have visited this pizza express 3 times in the past 10 days and each time they’ve rushed the food to low standard yet kept me waiting an hour. And they were empty, literally 2 customers in the whole restaurant. They do not represent the pizza express brand well as I used to love pizza express in other areas.

No crowd but they made us wait for half hour, king prawn starter portions is less, pizza was not hot, didn't bring the kids drinks and starters until deserts. Worst experience couple of times, not recommend ing this restaurant

We had a very enjoyable evening. Food was exactly as you’d expect; Pizza Express are very reliable when it comes to their salads, in particular. Staff and management were friendly and efficient.

Yesterday I ordered pizzas on the original dough with extra chicken and carmelized onions. Halluni bites and side of chicken. My partner went to pick up the pizzas and the employee a moment earlier gave the pizzas to someone else And they told my partner that they did not have such an order. They made us a new pizza but not the same what I order. Pizza was on very crispy dough ( which originally is on the menu) with fresh onion which looked like it was added after baking the pizza. In addition, I had to cut our pizza myself at home because it was not cut. Huge disappointment.

Always great service and good value food here. Recommend the kids pizza making (and eating!) parties.

Staff were fantastic, food excellent as always - can always rely on pizza express for good quick food when with young children

Had my daughters birthday there, the team really looked after us all. great afternoon.

Always great service! Fresh food served at the table.

Food was really good (as can be excpected), however, the seating was crowded, we sat right in the middle of servers and incoming diners who had to scoot past. Cocktails are also really overpriced considering the small sizes of the glasses.

We went there last minute and fairly late with a hungry family. The staff was kind enough to accommodate us. And the gentleman serving us as attentive. This is where the good part ends. The tables smelt. The new table we were moved to smelt too. The food was okayish. And we felt was slightly overpriced. We certainly didn't think it was value for money. All in all, good staff but not great food. And on the pricey side.

Lovely food and very friendly staff

Pizza!!!! And good service. Was daugters birthday and they did a very nice layout on a serving board. Just forgot to take a pic :-(

I ordered sloppy guiseppe with extra king prawns . It was like they just added the king prawn at the end like they forgot the order . The king prawns wasn't cooked before . The first this was my 2nd time since 2010 visiting any pizza express restaurant I was disappointed

We ordered takeaway from Pizza Express at Wokingham and it took almost an hour for the food to be ready. The brownie dessert didn't come with the ice cream and the kids pasta (pictured) looked like baby sick with literally 10 bits of penne pasta! Don't think I'll ever be eating at pizza express after this.

Ordered delivery of Margherita pizza and Cannoloni. The pasta was nice, the Pizza was very disappointing. Arrived cold and was just a basic cheese pizza, without Basil.

Great service experience at the hands of Zack. We explained that we were in a rush and he magiced up our meal in award winning time - with some great banter.Wokingham Branch

Could not do enough to have a smooth running kids party

Had a fantastic meal, calamari, burnt ends pizza and chocolate ice cream with caramel sauce. The service was out of this world too.

Aweful service ,10 minutes after sitting down i myself got a jug of water and friends got coke and a peroni (showed the waiter id) then for the manager to come back for the 2nd time firstly grabbing the peroni and the glass and insisted to show id now or he will take away the beer. Bearing in mind, me and my friends are all young and in tracksuits i said ‘that was very stereotypical’ he replies ‘anymore of that attitude or you will have no food and will be gone’. The tone and the way he spoke to me made me feel insecure and anxious. Absolutely disgusting 😔

Staff are unhelpful and don’t answer the phone

Ordered a collection on the phone as I had a gift card. Very friendly staff. Pizzas were put in the oven when I arrived, lovely fresh pizza with a great vegan option!

Does what it says on the tin nice food at reasonable prices... update... Still as is says on the tin. Calories on menus now

Very friendly staff, great vegan options 💚

Food was just ok. Service was a bit average. Waiter got our kids order wrong but still charged us the full amount. Tables were packed so close to each other. We tried to move to another area less crowded. They mentioned that other customers were expected there so we couldn't move. However even when we left that area was still empty.

great pizza. love the dough balls. great quiet environment, provided you go at the right time. Family friendly. Food created to your needs.

A real catalogue of errors. Will not be returning. Food is exactly what you would expect ‘cheap and cheerful’. Service is ‘cheap’ and not ‘cheerful’. Made to feel unwelcome and could not look after our table. Took longer to leave, than it did to get our meal . F- Must try better ( especially management)

Brilliant Pizzas with excellent range of toppings at OK prices! Enjoy!

Despite living in Wokingham for the last 10 years this is the first time we have visited this branch of pizza express. I have to say that I was very impressed with the food, atmosphere and service. Our waiter was very friendly and the service was great - despite them being super busy due to the carnival taking place on the day we visited. The restaurant was very clean, there was lots of space between the tables and the children were well accomodated. Will go again.

Good service, good food...but darn expensive for "just" pizza

Dined in last night. Service was very slow. Food over over cooked. It seemed the restaurant was prioritising Deliveroo / Just East orders as opposed to diners in the restaurant. One of our Group left before his food arrived as it had taken so long. This is a shame as we’ve been regular loyal customers for years but we won’t be back!

Awful experience. Kitchen in chaos, only received 2 of 4 starters ordered, one main course was missing and finally arrived when everyone else had finished. Staff apathetic. Poor show.

Ordered a takeaway pizza. Not only was it the wrong size and no toppings (despite having paid for a larger pizza with toppings) they refused to correct it. To make it worse the pizza wasn’t even cooked! Horrendous. Avoid at all costs!

Ordered a few times for a takeaway and they never get the order right! Spoken to the manager before absolute disgusting attitude. Once fair enough but every single time it's a bit ridiculous. Wouldn't recommend ordering for takeaway from here.

Great service and you can always find a voucher online that gives a discount so good value too. Lovely dough balls too

Can't really comment, so have to give 5 stars - I was at the bus stop outside, not in the restaurant!!

Came in to my regualr Pizza Express yesterday for dinner and had the most amazing food and service. Our food came out quick and hot, despite them being busy! It had been a while since I last visited (due to covid) and I can honestly say, that was the best Pizza Express meal I have had! Service was great, our host Carla was extremely helpful and efficient!

Went to pizza express for a mum daughter dinner. We always come here as it’s our fave pizzas and penne pesto pasta! Hadn’t been for few months but food as usual was delicious 😋 never disappointed ....Carla our waitress was very good!

Atmosphere was a bit flat. But the food was ok. Service was relaxed it was supposed to be fully booked however only 6 tables.

Nice pizza in the rear courtyard post lockdown. Service very good. Beware of any special offers and check which are valid on the days you visit.

Booked for a birthday meal for my wife to enjoy with her two granddaughters who she hadn’t seen since October. We received a phone call when we were a minute away to cancel. It was raining and they’d only got enough cover for two tables. One of the two large brollies was out of action - how, why, what for! So we walked around town for nearly an hour and returned when we were assured there’d be a place under the single brolly. The rain had eased so we sat exposed in the elements perishing and praying it didn’t rain again. Totally unsatisfactory. Who runs this place!Service was excellent especially the lady who looked after us. The food was tasty, however the gluten free options made the two coeliac members of our family desperately ill. This is clearly gluten contamination and the GF option should not be offered unless correctly and properly delivered.

Lovely place, friendly staff and great good!

Very good food, have been back many times and I sure will again after lockdown!

Lovely meal great service, it was my daughters birthday, it’s very difficult times but they made it very special thank you

The restaurant is quite pretty with exposed wood rafters and fairy lights. The food itself was delicious. With a reasonable wine list, a small selection of beer but the cocktails are premade. COVID-19 measures were good in general, with all staff wearing masks. However the thoroughfare between the entrance & main restaurant, we were in close vicinity with kitchen & serving staff. Aside from premade drinks, service attentiveness was lacking. The restaurant wasn't at full covid19 capacity, yet we had to attract staff attention to order mains & dessert. The wait staff were happy & friendly enough. And the chocolate & salted caramel sauces for the dough balls was a pleasant surprise.

Great food, very tasty, friendly staff 👍

Lovely Lunch while my car was in at a local garage. Staff 100% on customer safety.

the food from deliveroo took an hour longer than the original hour long expected waiting time. When the food got here after 2 hours it was cold and to make things worse half of the food in the order was missingnever going to this sh#t place ever again

Great service received at Pizza Express today. Social distancing we’ll demonstrated and the food was great! Thank you.

Great pizza like the new decor.

Pizza from here is always delicious however two stars removed as multiple times items have been forgotten from our order (particularly when larger groups / takeaway orders), and without fail always running late for takeaway orders to the extent we have started ordering pick-up time 15 minutes before we actually want it. I do recommend the pizza but please check your orders and allow extra time!

Visited today and ordered a Cesar salad (no anchovies, no croutons and no bread sticks) 1st of all I was told there was no boiled eggs and asked if I would like fried instead to which I agreed if runny. Then they brought me the salad while I was eating my starter?! When it was redelivered the fried eggs were like 2 plastic imitation eggs from a toy shop, there was no cheese, no dressing and the most minuscule amount of chicken. I sent it back! Obviously. No one then came to apologise or offer me a replacement for a good 10 mins. The waitress was lovely and offered me another Cesar on the house, I refused and complained that the manager had not come to speak to me leaving it to her to rectify. She eventually talked me into having a replacement which came once everyone else had finished. It looked better but still was not of restaurant standard with still hardly any cheese and lots of past best lettuce. It’s really not hard to produce a salad but today it’s been proved that it really is. I expect when I omit certain ingredients to get more of the ones I have left but they chose to omit them too. I’d like to say I won’t bother again but due to family liking it there I will no doubt have to endure this again in the future. The only positive is I didn’t have to pay for it, but then i wouldn’t have anyway

Good food. Very friendly and welcoming staff.
