Pizza Express in Lambeth

Not really a pizza express person thought id give it a go, not hating on the kids, but a lot of kids. Like a ridiculous amount of kids. Food took a while to arrive and while the pizza was good (as one would hope with a place called pizza express) the Mac and cheese was greasy as hell. Screenshots don’t do it justice the pasta was swimming in grease. Also ordered a festive margarita which never arrived. 😃

Always love coming here with friends! Great service, especially when Anson is our waiter, he’s amazing. And the loyalty card makes it so worth coming as opposed to other places, I save so much money! Thank you

Really enjoyed the prawn pizza and the waiter was lovely

Great restaurant with excellent service and in a really nice location. Has a great atmosphere

As always, we were served by Joshua, he offered brilliant advice on the menu and went beyond the call of duty for being attentive and helpful for all our needs. Pizza express is our favourite reliable restaurant locally and staff like Joshua constantly reinforce our choice to come here. Always highly recommend.

the manager Theresa was super helpful when we asked to move tables after our table was over run by noisy disruptive children who were allowed to do so by their parents, the food was tasty and management were super friendly and accommodating

Wonderfull place, great food and nice service. Especially Martynian

We had a wonderful evening at Pizza Express on Abbeville Road. The restaurant was buzzing, but the service was top-notch. The staff were not only efficient but also some of the friendliest and most entertaining I've come across in London. The food was fantastic, and the lively, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better. Highly recommend for a great night out!

Had a fantastic dining experience at Pizza Express on Abbeville Road! Despite the restaurant being quite busy, the staff were incredibly kind, funny, and attentive. They made the evening so enjoyable with their positive energy. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food and even better service!

came quickly, wasnt very hot however it was sooo good. 9/10 would recommend

I ordered some food through Deliveroo and the lemon and herb wings were awful. They lacked flavour and were burnt

Great gluten free pizza and lovely customer service!! :)

One young Chinese staff member was very friendly. The pizza I had was a bit dry and slightly tasteless. The atmosphere though was very good and family friendly. We would have stayed for dessert, but the wait after finishing our pizzas was a bit too long so we got the bill and went to Salisburys across the road for some chocolate.

The double American cheese was delicious! Ugee was fantastic! Friendly, attentive, and full of energy. Made our visit very enjoyable.

Ugee was fantastic and extremely helpful! I will definitely be returning and recommending. It was my first date and safe to say I secured a second date because of him :)

Loved it!! Excellent service and had a wonderful time with my friends. Will be back soon 💕

Heart warming place, exquisite costumer service 👏

Wonderful food , Customer service is great they have good sense of humour !!

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in along time very happy with the service

excellent food very helpful manager loved coming back again

wonderful food and the manager is very friendly, I recommend it and I will come back again

went for dinner today found the atmosphere to be very distracting and noisy. The serving staff were lovely however they were crashing around the restaurant tidying up Dragging and banging chairs behind me, banging cutlery, just being generally quite noisy whilst cleaning around us and not thinking that there are people sitting wanting to have a relaxing meal. Shouting across to each other The music they were playing is terrible, which only added to the noise and distraction -I left with a headache! Food was very mediocre pasta carbonara was tasteless and congealed , where was the flavour??? and there were lots of hard bits of pasta in my food. Not sure if it was overcooked or undercooked To be honest- never had a crunchy carbonara before didn’t bother sending it back as I didn’t wanna wait for another dish and had filled up on bruchetta . I’ve tasted better carbonara ready meals from Tesco -not at all authentic. The pizzas are nice - I wish I’d had that instead,. Also they charge nearly £4 for a glass of Coke which is very pricey. 2 cokes will set you back almost £8 I found the food and especially pricing quite unreasonable for the quality . I wouldn’t mind paying it if I had good tasting food -If you want authentic Italian food There are a number of restaurants within Clapham that you can go to . The bruchetta was nice however If you want to be seated in this establishment, I would avoid sitting by the kitchen for preparation area sit near the back where it’s quieter and you can hear yourself think and enjoy your meal without being disturbed all the time

Amazing service from Ansem and staff. Attentive, friendly and understanding. Generous with the dips too! Thank you

Terrible service not from the waiters but from the manager, completely ignored me multiple times when trying to pick up my collection order which I could see was ready.

Amazing place with lovely staff. The food is delicious. Definitely returning!

I haven’t received my order I am asking for refund please thanks

Pretty much every time we have ordered for collection from here they have screwed it up and I have had to wait for them to start it over again.

this is a lovely and nice pizzeria in a nice setting with tasty food and friendly and quick and helpful staff in a nice trendy part of london.

I Had a very pleasant evening at pizza express abeville such lovely staff Eugi was so vibey his energy was great! And Joshua (takeaway) was very polite and efficient! Food was delicious.

Excellent service and a delicious lasagne!

Seated then ignored for over 20 minutes Eventually asked to order Starters never arrived Mains OK but slow as kitchen very obviously prioritised an endless stream of delivery riders Offered desert menu Ignored for another 20 minutes Asked to speak to the manager who explained that she was only responsible for delivery orders and vaguely apologised. We asked for the bill emphasising that we had not received everything we had ordered. Given a bill including items that we ordered but that never arrived. Been going there for over 20 years. Will not go again.

MISSING PIZZA. Restaurant doesn't answer the phone - called over 15 times and it just rings out. Ruined the evening for myself and children! Not happy with the service at all and want a full refund!

Unfortunately a poor overall visit today. UPDATE: No reply from the store manager when emailing in. So they don’t really care. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Uncomfortably hot in the restaurant. The dough balls were excellent, however all the pizzas had excessive tomato, lacked in other toppings (cheese, chicken, etc) Overall very mediocre / average and unlikely to return.

This branch used to be my favourite Pizza Express - would travel all the way from Purley to get to this specific branch, but of recent, I think the management and staff have changed and the service is very very different.. In ALL pizza expresses across the country, they will make old recipes if you request, it's generally never a problem for them to make a pizza you like if the menu has changed slightly.. However, since the management changed, the staff seemed less concerned about pleasing customers and more hell-bent about not making any old recipes - which I have been ordering there for years.. There was literally no flexibility at all on any of the pizzas that my family and I ordered - something we are not used to at that branch.. Admittedly, the staff are not rude in any way, that would be a lie and a misrepresentation, but there is definitely less of a feeling of warmth from the staff and the manager - it is a more plastic environment now - i will say that, more concerned with order and policy than customers and community, which is a shame.. As a result, we will not be returning to this branch again, as my family and I really disliked the experience on our last visit.. I still love Pizza Express, but I will never go back to this branch again, solely because the nice people have left.

Delivery was excellent and the driver was polite. The pizza tasted good. Dough balls were yummy. The potato salad didn't have enough vinegar and the potatoes tasted bland. The cake slice was ok not great... Taste more like oil then chocolate and the shiny gelatin looking outer part of the cake is just too oily and not chocolatey enough. The cake sponge seems undercook or just saturated with 2 or 3 different oils. Could have been better!

This is a lovely place which is very accommodating for families and with friendly staff, especially Anson who made our last trip out such a pleasure. A good menu with lots of choices but it's the welcoming atmosphere that makes all the difference.

Lovely food and Amazing Service. We were looked after by a superber waiter team!!! Definitely recommended!!!

Had a lovely experience, the food came out super quick, the staff were very attentive and Anson was a superb waiter, super smiley and friendly, definitely returning!

Pizza was stone cold and burnt. Not ordering from there again EVER

Cold and soggy pizza. Not an experience to be repeated!

lovely delivery driver so much manners thank you 😊

Arrived still hot and tasted great, delivery driver was friendly. Thank you

I was tried for a hard week at work and taking two young kids to dinner as moving out of our house for renovations. Pizza express always delivers outstanding service, food and cleanliness.

Everything is cold🙈 how you can eat cols calamari and pizza

Excellent service! Marcella was wonderful! Definitely returning!

The waiter was super attentive with us and came to ask often if we needed anything. The quality of the pizza Pollo Fiesta Romana crust style was superb and crispy. I really had a great experience. They should remove the "express" out of the brand name as it is high quality.

Amazing, would definitely order from there again!

Comfortable settings, reliable food. Staff could have been slightly more attentive but there were a few families with small children for them to contend with when my friend and I came to eat. 4/5

Lovely service from waitress Marcella.

Sat outside in the September heatwave and caught up with friends. Great service and food as always (& can’t go wrong w dough balls)!

Our regular restaurant. Staff are super friendly, welcoming and attentive. The food is always excellent and they always go above and beyond. Our favourite place to go as a family. The dough balls are always a fav from the little one.

I’ve been coming to this pizza express for 20 years and I’ve never had a better experience and pizza! The service was exceptional, a brilliant bastion of Pizza Express!!!!

Great pizza express... Marcella was super helpful! A+

This branch of Pizza Express has been going for many years. It continues to be of an excellent standard. We go fairly frequently as it is our local and the staff are absolutely wonderful. The other day we were attended to by Guiseppe who has been working there for many years, he is always so warm and friendly and knows exactly what are favourite choices are! We also receive a very warm welcome from the amazing chefs, Shiva and his colleagues are all so delightful and provide a first class service in every way. Thank you to all of them for giving us such a great experience!

We stayed for starters through to coffee and it was an OK place for a late lunch. Difficult to get the attention of the Team sometimes. Food was tasty, a nice pizza, but not once were we checked back on. Highlight was the pizza and the twinnings tea!

Food was ok, but just warm. And the dessert was miniscule and so not worth money charged!

Really yummy Padana pizza & great service! Affordable wine 🍷

It was a great experience! Great food and service!

The food and the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was incredible as well! Great for a night out.

Amazing staff and service! The pizza was amazing as well and so were the dough balls!

Really, really disappointing. I made my way to the restaurant yesterday evening after an extremely long day at work. The restaurant was full of children running around, screaming and just making a lot of noise. Fine, I can handle that as it’s a family friendly place. What I can’t handle is the following. I ordered calamari rings for the starter and asked the waitress if the starter could come out with the main. After about 20 minutes of waiting, another waiter brings my starter to the table. I mentioned that I’d asked someone else that I’d like the starter to come with the meal. She responded, ‘yeah the main is coming.’ Surprise, surprise the main didn’t turn up for another 15 minutes. The calamari rings were burnt and overall disappointing. I ordered the carbonara as a main and even this had extremely burnt bits of spaghetti throughout. I complained to the original waitress who had served me (she had noticed that my starter and meal came separately and did sincerely apologise for that). Still paid a full bill which was just awful really considering I didn’t finish my starter and left the burnt bits of spaghetti in the bowl. I will not make my way back to this branch again. Visit this place with low expectations

Friendly place, excellent staff and lovely pizzas!

Great atmosphere and great food!

Our go to place for date night - hats off to this pizza express’ staff in particular for being so efficient, friendly and an absolute pleasure to be served by them. From the staff in the kitchen, to the manager always checking up on everything and everyone with a smile, to the waiters who with out a doubt were the friendliest we’ve encountered! Big thank you to Marcela and Ansen for such excellent customer care! Thankyou so much to our fav pizza express ever.

Excellent service and amazing food! Love it!!!

Been here several times with a big group of friends! Great service, great food and fabulous wine! Will 100% come back again.

Very warm and welcoming place, lovely waitresses. A great home vibes and atmosphere

Marcella was brilliant! Food incredible as usual!

Wonderful food even better service !

The food was amazing and Marcela our server even better.

Amazing! Great service and delicious food . The best Pizza Express in London!

Pizzas clearly been sat under a heated lamp for over half an hour, base is freezing cold and inedible. Didn’t even bother cutting the pizza

Hardly any cheese on the pizza . Disappointed. This time round

We loved our visit to pizza express on Saturday night. The pollo pesto was delicious and the dough balls are my favourite. Would come again.

Best service!! The servers were lovely and our meals came really quickly. Will definitely come back soon!

The food was really good and Marcella was very helpful as well with anything we wanted. Definitely recommend!!

The staff are just amazing. Really polite, friendly and accommodating. I come here really regularly and decided to try something new. I ordered king prawns and received tiny prawns that had been previously frozen. Completely full of water and tasteless. A huge disservice to call these king prawns and to charge £8. Inedible really. Such a shame.

The service and food was amazing!! Great value too

Can never go wrong with Pizza Express. Quality is consistent, and I’ve always really liked their garlic bread. Restaurant is decent, service was good, and food was fresh and well cooked. Good value for money.
