Pizza Express in City of London, Westminster

Horrible pizza, raw base. Overpriced place with substandard quality

Worst pizza Ive ever had, at this price I was expecting to be more quality.

Enjoyed a fantastic meal at Pizza Express 🍕 in Leadenhall Market! The service was exceptional 🌟 and the staff incredibly polite 😊. From the delicious pizza to the warm atmosphere, it was an all-around great experience in such a beautiful, historic setting 🏛️. Can’t wait to go back! #PizzaExpress #LeadenhallMarket #ExceptionalService #PoliteStaff #LondonEats

I wish I could give service 6 stars. Our waitress Alex was amazing. We told her that we have limited time and are in rush and she did everything she could to make our food delivered to our table on time. She was amazing. She even suggested we get the bill before the food arrives so we don’t have to wait once food is finished. Amazing. She was polite, professional and super helpful. Amazing experience

Upon arrival there was No one to welcome us for about 6 mins! We were just standing there awkwardly until a waitress came and gave us a weird look and said the table is not ready and left us. After 10 mins we finally sat down and a waiter came to take our order but he wasn’t listening and kept asking us to repeat.. The restaurant and food was lovely just the staff wasn’t attentive which ruined the experience really..

In Leadenhall Market. Enjoy your meal.

Pesto is ok but Pizza is really bad . No taste and its look like frozen one . I ordered a drink and find out that the glass is dirty ( with 💄 ) So I highly not recommend this place at all Thanks

I recommend this restaurant which is really located in a very nice place. The decoration is on point. The servers are very helpful and very attentive. The only downside is that depending on certain dishes, the quality is not there. And second point, we were all served out of time... and this is a big downside for me. On the other hand, for the children we had colored pencils and a coloring hat which allowed them to wait!

Very nice restaurant, the atmosphere is really, the waiter with the glasses was great, he was very attentive The food was plentiful, but not of very good quality, there were four of us and one dish arrived five minutes after the others, a shame because we ate out of time. The restaurant is very famous, there are a lot of people all the time. The toilets were clean. This restaurant is located in a beautiful gallery

The service here is fantastic. Smiles all around and very efficient. However, where it is busy, it lacks personalability. Which left me feeling more like a number than a customer. The food tasted ok. But it could use some room for an improvement. It did not blow me away like some other restaurants of the same brand. Its positioning is an advantage. A great meal if you're near the neighbouring hotels.

Very nice branch of Pizza Express and really good, especially for children. In addition to activities, there is a chef's hat for each child and the children's 3-course menu was great and the pasta was a very large portion for children. We adults also enjoyed it and tasted great. Thank you very much!

Unexpected great dinner! Ivan was by far the best waiter I have had since I moved to London 12 years ago. I never go to Pizza Express so this was a one off, but I think I would go back just for his generous spirit.

I ended up eating here twice with my family during our holidays. The menu is probably one of the best designed I’ve come across, even includes calories for those with dietary restrictions. I had both a pizza and chicken parmigiana and both were really tasty, not greasy at all. The service was great, it was also nice that the staff recognized us the second time, despite having so many different customers daily.

We were the first people to arrive for lunch. We had fantastic service and a great meal. We started with an appetizer and then finished with a pizza. The American dough balls were spot on. They gave us some garlic and pepper oil to enjoy them with. The pizzas were thin crust and crispy. I had the bbq burnt tips pizza. It was a bit too sweet from the bbq sauce. My colleague had a spicy pepperoni and jalapeño pizza. I enjoyed a slice of that more than the pizza I ordered. The menu is huge and I will definitely return to try other options.

The Lasagna and mozzarella sticks definitely a must try. Order the halloumi bites as well. Brilliant service, even when staff was just one person.

Over priced garlic bread that had the consistency of chewy cheese on toast followed by a pizza that couldn’t seem to keep the toppings attached to the base, very over priced and underwhelming

very good thin crust pizza. Very pleasant welcome in a nice setting. Top staff who offered pencils and drawings so that our child could keep busy while preparing the meal.

My wife and I shared spicy chicken wings and a Panada pizza and I had a pomegranate spritzer to drink. Everything we ordered was superb and I wish I had a 2nd stomach to order more. The staff was attentive and friendly. The fantastic person who took our order recommend we go downstairs and look at the photos of the old market, glad we did, it was neat.

Ordered via their website for self collection at their store, and the pizza was ready on time! ⏰ 🍕 pizza was huge and could definitely fill 2 pax easily, the funghi de Bosco that I ordered was a decent pizza which had good flavours all round Definitely a good spot to return for a quick pizza fix 👍🏻

Nice atmosphere cosy but bright. Food was good and came quickly. We had calamari starters and pizza main.

Loved it. Great vegan options and great service

Went here to get a quick lunch/dinner with my partner and the service was embarrassing. As someone who worked as a waitress myself who was constantly nagged for always doing something wrong even though I was dedicated and committed to my jobs, it’s surprising these waiters still have jobs…. Ordered 2 cokes and 2 pizzas, the guy only served us 1 Coke and when he gave our pizzas, he didn’t give us a pizza cutter like a lady being us had, we had to cut our pizzas with a knife and fork, it was really difficult. When we asked for the bill, the same guy who served us took the payment and my partner told me when he pressed no tip, he started being rude, like walking away and not speaking to us the entire time, slapping the receipt on the table in anger. I won’t be going back here again. The pizza was nice though

Delicious food and perfect restaurant to go with kids!

Dynamite DoughBalls was excellent. Good food.

The guy from the moment we entered told us that he was about to close, he wanted us to leave, there was 35 minutes left until they closed, it never happened to me in my life to enter a restaurant and be rushed like that, hahahaha it must be the English soul

Nice atmosphere, delicious pasta. Special service from waiter Ivan.

I recently had a deeply disappointing experience at Pizza Express, marked by rudeness and unacceptable behaviour. We had reserved a table for five people for today. Upon arrival, I was waiting for someone to escort us to our table. One of my friends went to use the restroom, but unexpectedly, someone (who I believe was the restaurant manager) stopped him. This person rudely informed my friend that he couldn't use the restroom. When I explained that we had a reservation, he replied that it didn't matter and that we needed permission to use the restroom. This was highly disrespectful. Ultimately, we decided not to dine there. I will never revisit Pizza Express.

overpriced and way to long time waiting to get your food

We weren't very hungry, so the five of us only ordered 3 pizzas, but we also had to try the fried halloumi offered as a side dish, which was a great choice. As are the pizzas. Even a great Italian espresso went down so we paid just over £50. The food is delicious, the staff is very friendly, the place is beautiful and cozy!

Good price quality ratio, delicious pizza and friendly service. They have a lot of food options and wine selections.

Excellent pizza and nice service, only the music could be a little quieter - but we will definitely be happy to come back.

Had to calculate our amount to pay on ourselves

pizza is great but small for its price..

Amazing gluten-free pizza and super Caesar salad 🤗

A little expensive but it makes up for the delicious pizzas they serve. The Portuguese waitress who served us, a 10 for her attention and friendliness.

Had a fabulous family lunch at Pizza Express Leadenhall Markets. Many thanks to Ray, our server. He is probably one of the best we have met on our 2 week visit to London. We will most definitely return for seconds.

The pizza was way overpriced and didn't even taste as good as a frozen pizza. Totally not worth the money.

Stopped here to feed my hungry kids. I ordered fried calamari for myself as appetizer. Was not impressed with it. Batter was bland and calamari was super soft/soggy like. My youngest had small pepperoni pizza and my oldest had carbonara. The carbonara later gave her a stomach ache. Service was ok, nothing spectacular. £37.00 for all dishes plus drinks ok. Would I return? Most likely not. On a side note, whilst there, there was a birthday party downstairs with about 15 rowdy kids and they got to make their own personal pizza which I thought was fun!

It was a really memorable night coming here. I've wanted to come here for a long time! Beautiful historic market of course; doesn't fail to impress, the experience at Pizza Express was equally memorable! Thank you to all the team.

Pizza Express at Leadenhall Market provides a delightful combination of good food, historic ambience, and a convenient location. Great service and food. I highly recommend it.

The food was brilliant and the service was amazing! Thank you very much for everything!

The food was really delicious like always. We usually have glutenfree pizza too,what is highly recommended. The service was nice and friendly.

great pizza, coffees. the cheese cake is fantastic, and the service / staff are great.

So we to this place ( family of four) on 29th may '2024 for lunch. We were visiting from India. The person at the entrance said that the place is full even though there were vacant tables lying. I went for a takeaway downstairs and saw people freely walking in and occupying tables. Clear example of racism and I called out the same in front of that very same person and he had nothing to say. Wish I knew his name, would have publicised him here.

Went for lunch with wife and 2 children for lunch. From the moment we arrived the service was brilliant, waitress (Ines) was taking an interest in a children and was asking them questions, was really interactive with them and couldn’t do enough for us in general. Service was really good from everyone and pizza was really nice. Children especially enjoyed it and kids menu is great value for money.

The quality of the meals served has nothing to do with the price. Arrancini is correct, but the pizza has nothing to do with real Italian pizza, just an ordinary pie with toppings. We were tempted by the great location and Google rating, but ultimately we were disappointed.

I have been to Pizza Express up and down the country and I must say that this branch does the best pizza, dough balls. It is so fluffy and light how the dough should be, perfect. ALL Pizza Express should follow what they do. BRILLIANT fantastic service as well well well done 👏

Visited this leadenhall market pizza express for a work social. We were offered Prosecco on arrival follow by a pizza making session which was super fun and interactive, the host were enthusiastic and encouraging and we got to enjoy the fruits of our labour afterwards by munching down the pizza which was great! What’s not to love!

Excellent pizza, good service, reasonable prices. I’d recommend if you fancy pizza in this area. On Friday afternoon we waited 15 minutes for our order.

One of the best pizza places I’ve been to in London. The whole aesthetic of the place is magical. Delicious pizzas. The only downside is the staff. Some pretty serious looking waitresses that also seem to came out of a fairytale as the main villains. Also, the underground level though cute, smelled of mould.

The food is really good but the curly hair woman is really rude and treat people really bad without any smile and with a really bad character

Rude personel white woman , never come again

Good food, good service and good location, hat can you ask more

Nice place The downstairs room is very pretty. Following a problem, service was a little long but courteous staff who apologized for the inconvenience

Was good. Limited vegetarian options but taste was fine

Avoid this particular restaurant. We went there for lunch midweek and ordered chicken wings and beef pizza. The wings were greasy and oily with a really strong garlic smell. The fatty skin was still on them and they hadn’t been cleaned properly. They were horrible wings. We didn’t eat those and told the waitress to take them. The pizza was cold, with hardly any beef on it and was soaked in bbq sauce. What a disappointing experience. We won’t go back there again. Do yourself a favour and try a different place if you’re in the area.

Exceptionally disappointing. Although atmosphere and service were good, the kitchen must’ve forgotten to add any flavour to the food. It could’ve been the food we ordered (I had a chicken calzone and my friend had some barbecue pizza), both supposedly contained highly seasoned items like pesto and grilled chicken yet somehow tasted like almost nothing. There wasn’t even salt and pepper at the tables in case you wanted to make it flavourful. The calzone wasn’t hardly sealed together either, it fell apart right in my hands. And all that for 40 quid. I would highly suggest that all the chefs go to Tesco and invest in some salt and other seasonings in order to create food that tastes like SOMETHING. Additionally, the glasses we got were dirty, and when I tried to swap them out for glasses from another empty table, they were also unclean. I hope that one day, someone will discover the art of thoroughly cleaning dishes in this restaurant. Overall, outrageously high prices for unsatisfying food and unclean dishes.

We had such a good evening and were looked after so well last night. The staff are lovely - attentive without being intrusive, efficient, funny and gave us really good recommendations. The food was delicious too and the atmosphere and location are wonderful! Thank you for a great evening

Even though it wasn't crowded, it took a long time for people to take my order and the service was very poor.

Delicious food on a Quiet Monday night in pizza express. Service was great food was amazing definitely recommend and would go here again.

I liked everything. To begin with, the location, in a beautiful market. I even learned that Leadenhall Market has existed since 1321, and is situated in what was the center of Roman London! Then the fact that it was basically the only restaurant open on a public holiday. Very attentive service, beautiful and pleasant atmosphere, great pizza and delicious dessert.

I came to dine with my family and young child & Ray was honestly spectacular. He went out of his way to make my daughter happy. She hasn’t stopped talking about going back there soon and talk to her new friend ray. Food was spectacular & Ray gave such amazing recommendations.

The food was absolutely marvellous! No words. Just incredible tasting food which I am eager to try again and again. Standout quality, Italian vibe and beautiful aesthetic restaurant. Staff was also very friendly.

It was a nice service. I love the calebrese. Order with extra mozzarella because maybe it is extra spice :)

We stopped by on the fly. Pizza is not pizza, edible, but it is not pizza. Friendly staff.

Visiting Pizza Express was a perfect idea. Beautiful restaurant, excellent pizza, excellent pasta, friendly service. And all this in the bowels of Leadenhall Market. A very pleasant time spent and thank you for the service.

Beautiful place. Excellent food. Really great staff.

More expensive, but that's almost everywhere.

Had a good meal here for lunch today. It’s in a great location and we ate downstairs which we think used to be a butchers cellar or a wine cellar and is very well presented. There were six of us and it was perfect for a big group of us. We just had pizza as a main. No starter or dessert but there was plenty of options. As a chain they have good consistency so you always know what you will get. I went for the La Reine without olives. It arrived as requested. I’ve uploaded some of the pizzas we had. Everyone said the food was good. I’ve not given it five stars because there is better pizza out there but this is solidly good. Service was great, I was a little cold and although they couldn’t do much about it they were genuinely willing to try to help. Pizza and a coke for twenty pounds in this part of London isn’t bad either. I would go again, but it’s not somewhere I would go often mainly because pizza can be a bit heavy when you need to go back to work after.

Fabulous pizza, food was amazing

Delicious food and great service, both for adults and children.

If you want to eat flavorless pizza, this is the ideal place. The ONLY good thing is the atmosphere, it only serves to have a few beers and that's it... They don't know the taste, the salt and the seasoning.....

Perfect place! Catarina's service was fantastic!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

We enjoyed our food today. Special thanks to Katarina for her great customer service and her help and support! Thank you!

It is part of the gastronomic proposal of one of London's oldest markets in the financial district. Good gastronomic proposal

Nice atmosphare and tasty food.

The location is amazing. We were made welcome and seated quickly. Food was lovely and reasonably priced. Definately recommend.

Its Pizza Express, there's nothing that describes it better than pizza raming you in yhe face with flavor like a maglev train at full speed covered in cheese. Its just that great. If you like bread/cheese/meat/ or anything else, go here.

Excelentes ambiente, atendimento e cardápio. É dirigido por brasileiros e portugueses, pelo que entendi. Pizza saborosa e apimentada. Ainda há um belo restaurante no subsolo, que deu vontade de voltar!

Our first visit to this particular Pizza Express.Really enjoyed our evening with friends.Nice atmosphere, friendly and professional staff and very tasty food.

피자 맛은 있었지만 나오는데 좀 느리고 피자가 많이 식어 있었어요

We had lovely service, were well looked after and had yummy food! Would highly recommend 💗

So comforting to have something reliably gluten free. Their gluten free items come on a black board or black napkin so that you know it’s the gluten free version. Dough balls and many types of gluten free pizzas are offered

Atendimento maravilhoso pela Maria, bom vinho e pasta excelente. Super indico

Had poor experience with the staff who refused to allow us to charge a mobile phone. We only had 2% battery for paying the bill and taking the tube back. The food is OK for a chain. The location is nice, especially with the Xmas decorations. But the staff (including the management who refused too) is insensitive and not helpful at all. They refused walkins, too.

Atendimento maravilhoso e comida deliciosa. Pedi um macarrão ao pesto com frango e uma cerveja que estava super gelada! Indico muito a vinda aqui!

O ambiente é extremamente agradável, a Maria nos atendeu com muita simpatia e destreza. O prato estava delicioso!

Comida boa, lugar aconchegante e excelente serviço!

Amazing service from Anna and Catarina. Definitely recommend it. Great food, great atmosphere and an amazing staff.

Very good choice of Italian food and drinks. Have a good range of kids menu which is really good. The dough balls are must to try. Have washroom facilities. Really courteous and efficient staff. Recommended

Food is fine. Service is slow, sluggish and a bare minimum at best. To start, we waited for a moment before anyone greeted us. A bar tender actually came out and over to us to ask if we’d like some help. We were seated downstairs - no issue there. We were given menus and left to our own devices. Weren’t sure if it was counter service or table service so we waited and tried to flag someone down. Staff here seemingly avoid eye contact like it’s a national sport. We eventually have our order taken. Drinks come. One is missing the lemon and mint, perhaps integral ingredients to the ‘elderflower and mint sparking with lemon’. After another drawn out attempt to flag down staff, the drink was remedied with the most anaemic slice of lemon and the 2 saddest little leaves of mint I’ve ever seen. We still haven’t received any table water by this point. Our food comes. The ‘garlic bread with mozzarella’ is scarcely bread, and scarcely garlic. It was nice enough, but it was a small pizza dough round with the softest touch of garlic in the history of garlic breads. Half the order was also wrong. We’re then informed that our original choice of pizza was not available. Then that another 2 pizzas were also not available after I explicitly asked what they didn’t have before we even bothered with the rest of the menu. The top 3 pizzas we actually wanted were not available - perhaps something worth mentioning when seating guests? At this stage we were 30-40 minutes in so just picked something. The pizza was fine. Reasonably tasty and had the rest of the experience been okay, probably worth it. We still hadn’t received any water by the time we left despite asking. In a word, disappointing. The food could have been 5 stars, and we still wouldn’t come back on account of the service.

Unfortunately, one of the staff was too rude that I had to leave the restaurant!

We were asked to wait to be seated and we were ignored the whole time without explanation. One of the women serving there was ignoring, clearly not welcoming with not the best attitude! Fortunately, this was the only time I got mistreated in London!

Eine kleine, aber sehr feine Pizzaria. Das Personal ist wirklich sehr freundlich. Die Auswahl der Gerichte ist zahlreich. Im gemütlichen Ambiente kann man sein Essen genießen, weitere Plätze sind im Untergeschoss diese sind auch etwas ruhiger.

Hello, I have also sent this email to head office, but myself and 4 other friends visited Pizza Express at Leadenhall yesterday (20th December) and were shocked and appalled at the service and attitude of the staff. We were seated downstairs with little to no issue, as the restaurant was not even overly busy, but things went downhill from here… We were greeted by what can only be described as a ‘moody’ and ‘rude’ waitress. We eventually had our order taken after we waited for some time. We ordered normal plain dough balls and pesto loaded gluten free dough balls, and 5 pizzas as expected for 5 people, plus one dip. We also ordered 2 beers and 1 margarita cocktail. Plus water for the table. We waited a while for our drinks to arrive, and even then we received our starters before our drinks, and even no water was served to the table until we asked. We then find out, not only, there were no gluten free dough balls, but unsurprisingly, the waitress was unapologetic and offered no alternative or explanation. To make matters worse we were also then served 2 lots of dough balls (both non gluten free) plain and pesto, so what I would assume be the alternative to serving the pesto gluten free balls…. Not exactly a valid or considered swap for one person at the table that cannot consume them. For a restaurant that has a collaboration with ‘Coeliac’ it is disgraceful that this was served to the table. We did raise this with the waitress but once again, there was little to no explanation or apology. We were then served the drinks (and the water!) only when we received our pizzas (and no surprise there was no dip!), whilst the dough balls were still being eaten. All in all a bit of a joke. We were then shocked, even further, as a 6th pizza was delivered to the table…. We soon realised that the margarita cocktail order had been delivered as a margarita pizza. Someone then ordered a Diet Coke instead, and no surprise they even got that wrong… just a regular coke was served. It is absolutely laughable and beyond belief that staff and an establishment so reputable as Pizza Express can be so appalling at customer service. By far the worst experience I’ve had at a restaurant in the City of London. I would love to hear what the head office/ restaurant have to say about our shocking visit, for what can only be described as something out of Fawtly towers. Not only were the staff rude and unapologetic, they were clearly not trained at all and completely unaware of customer service or restaurant etiquette, as everything that possibly could go wrong did go wrong. I will not be returning to this restaurant, or any for that matter. .

Pizza's delicious, beer is great and the desert, scrumptious!

Pizza was lekker als je van dunne bodem houdt. Boven zitten was oké, pas later tien we naar toilet gingen zagen we dat je ook beneden kunt zitten. Dat was veel sfeervoller. Personeel was redelijk. Niet heel vriendelijk, maar ook weer niet onvriendelijk. Leadenhall waarin het gevestigd zit heeft sfeer omdat het een oude uitstraling heeft. Dat is bijzonder tussen de hoge moderne gebouwen. Zoals de naam zegt hebben ze pizza en amper pasta.

Amazing place. Delicious food and superb service. Huge thanks to Raymundo who made our night awesome!

This restuarant was a brilliant experience. The atmosphere was delightful and the food was lovely. We were able to watch the staff make the pizza from scratch, the service was excellent, and I cannot say enough about how delectable the food was. They accomodate children very nicely and I would certainly visit again!

Place was great! Can't complain about the food, you get what you pay for! The service from Ana Catarina was impeccable, she was really caring and took care of our table all night!
