Had not been in here for a long time. Pizza’s have moved on, however Pizza Express maybe stuck in the slow lane. After paying over £90 for soft Frank’s and four pizzas, I would not expect slow delivery of food, greasy pizzas and toppings playing hide and seek!

Honestly, don't bother being inconvenience in this Pizza express outlet. No manners or customer service. Asked for quiet table on upper platform but water referring us to "policy" that we can't seating there, then got annoyed as how dare we asked to seating where we wanted. Being ignored eventually lady come and served us, she was lovely. Pizza??? What pizza? Was mediocre with couple of peppers, onions and hardly any meat. Never again.....all that "pleasure" cost 31.00. Don't bother.

When we arrived the bald headed waiter/ manager took us to a table. Did not say Hello or Good Afternoon but launched into his spiel about free cookie dough if you scanned a QR code. Made no eye contact at all as I said no thanks. Walked away and stayed away from us. The pizza was ok but the strange chips were disgusting. Here is a tip just serve proper chips. It was a bad dining experience as the bald headed person lacked basic customer service skills. Avoid at all costs

I won’t give 1 star as I like pizza express (other branches). Went today for a date with wife after cinema. Been seated next to the noisy kitchen corridor even although there was plenty other more intimate tables free. Asked to relocate but the manager said is isn’t possible. Anyway… patiently waited for service. Nobody bothered to come and serve us so we decided to go to Wagamama across the street where the service is always great. If you can - avoid.

Booked as they usually turn you away otherwise even when empty. They had run out of salad dressing for starters/main. Had also ran out of eggs for Nicoise salad. They offered extra tuna/anchovies instead but that didn't materialise and was mostly bunch of leaves. Garlic doughballs were pretty much cold. Left hungry and totally underwhelmed. Only used because we had some clubcard vouchers but won't be back

The order was incomplete despite me checking with the restaurant in advance. Apparently the order left complete but the Just Eat driver did not deliver it all (had happened several times that night to that restaurant alone). Despite me contacting immediately no attempt was made to send me my correct order by Just Eat or the restaurant. One of the pizzas was completely uncooked and the rest were cold. Despite contacting Just Eat immediately the issue has not been resolved.

My daughter was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease a couple of months back and we haven’t eaten out with her since. Pizza Express is GF accredited by Coeliac UK and we couldn’t have been in better hands. We let the staff know that she was Coeliac and they reassured us that her meal would be prepared separately and brought out to us when it was ready. She also has a peanut allergy and our server checked the ingredients and brought a picture of the packaging to us to reassure us. It’s so refreshing being able to go out for dinner as a family and not to have to worry about being Glutened. Thank you 🤩

We asked for a table for 2. The waiter said she needed to check if there was enough cheese as they needed to keep some back for diners that had booked. Yes, there was some spare cheese at 6.30pm. We were in! We ordered two Romana pizzas. After a short while another waiter told us there would be a delay as our pizzas were both burned. We were soon presented with 2 new very undercooked, doughy, floppy 'pizzas' that were completely inedible. These were sent back. At this point we gave up. They did let us off paying for our 2 bottles of Peroni we left unfinished. Pizza Express has always been a consistently good pizza chain. Not this one though! A so-called pizza restaraunt that cannot make pizza. This is not Italian cuisine. Surely the staff have a process to follow? Pizza Express founder Peter James Boizot will be turning in his grave. The bondholders that own this chain should cash in their chips.

Nothing funnier than watching a grown man cut a pizza on a plate too small for the pizza. Also there was a valentine’s day stand up on the 3rd of march. Must get annoying moving that every night when you have to clean the floor. If they miss that what else are they missing.

The pizza was fine, albeit a little bit cold by the time it arrived. However at £20 for one single pizza delivered, it was not good value and I would not pay this again without a sizeable discount, as it does not represent value for money whatsoever.

In ordered the pollo pesto. The portion size that came out for £15 was ridiculously small, which I challenged. The lady that took my complaint was lovely and kindly bolstered my meal with some free dough balls. Fantastic. I later, and much into my pasta realised that the chef actually hadn’t put any chicken in my dish. This was most likely a contributor to why my dish was so small. In all my experience was ruined, because I ordered a chicken pasta dish but in essence received a vegetarian one, with most of the food I consumed being dough.

Excellent food and service, as usual. The chap (who we assume is the Manager) is always super-friendly and obliging. We arrived early for our booking looking to eat earlier. The restaurant was very busy but we were seated immediately, ordered quickly and our food (delicious) arrived fast! We were using vouchers to part pay our bill and again, the Manager was very helpful in helping me sort through them. Our waitress was friendly and efficient too. Very happy with our visit.

Food of usual Pizza Express standard and pleasant waitress. Only downside was the restaurant was a little cold - could do with turning up the temperature a few degrees. Interestingly the chap who was dining alone at the next table spent his whole meal complaining to the staff about various things - most of which was just being a professional moaner! Staff handled him well.

Had an impromptu dinner before our film and couldn’t fault the whole dining experience! The staff are friendly and attentive. Although a couple additions to our meals were missed they were rectified very quickly, even the chef brought out a dish once redone and apologised in person. It’s the little things that make a huge difference! We were offered complimentary coffees which we politely declined then before we left they came and gave us chocolate fudge cake to take away which they didn’t have to do but we were pleasantly surprised they did :) Food was delicious, wine went down well and getting more water with out having to ask, again the little things :) Thank you

The overall ambiance of the restaurant was nice and welcoming. :( However, When entering the restaurant there was no one to greet us and three people walked by without even saying hello. Finally someone came to seat us but it seemed to be beneath them to do so. About five minutes later our order was taken and the drinks delivered. About 20 minutes later our food arrived. The food (pizza) looked nice on the surface but once eaten we found the dough was very soft and the tase well lets just say uck!! The overall service form the staff was poor not just for us but we noticed others were getting a bit irritated as well. The Pizza Expresses we have visited in the past have always been great and we hope this one steps up as well.

My partner and I popped in here before seeing a film to book for after the film. The girl who took our reservation didn't put it in any book and had to be prompted to take our name. This was a sign of things to come. When we arrived we ordered drinks and I given the wrong wine. We also had to ask for a jug of water twice. My partners garlic bread was really small for the cost. For two starters, two pizza's and two alcoholic beverages, it was £60. It simply wasn't worth it. Pizza Express used to be such amazing value. Even without the other factors described, it just isn't good value for money anymore.

Put in a corner that server couldn’t actually get to side of table and had to lean over us to get to serve food. Garlic mushrooms were as cold as the feta that was on the plate, not that server would know….. next we saw anyone was when pizzas arrived and starter plates were still lying on table. Never had anyone ask of food was ok, did we want another drink etc. servers too busy standing talking to one another for that…. Finished eating meal, stacked plates on table so it was clear we were done (pizza was lovely) and after 15 minutes eventually had someone come and clear the plates. Shocking level of service.

Great experience here whilst also trying to entertain 3 kids under the age of 10. They offer a brilliant deal for kids which is 3 courses and a drink for just under £8 which is brilliant in these days when everything seems to be going up and up. Waiters were fantastic from the minute we walked in and as we were dining with a child who has food allergies, took every care to ensure they had the right food and that everything was kept separate. Everyone loved their food (big kids included) and would highly recommend to others.
