Pizza Express in Islington

Emad’s service is vey good, always smiling, always pays attention to every detail, very kind. He is pleasant to talk to and helpful with the order and bill. We have been served by him many times and every time it’s a joy to be served by him! Best server from the whole team.

Emmanuel’s service is always incredible! We had some issues with the gold rewards but he helped us apply them. He is helpful and quickly sorts out the issue. Thank you, Emmanuel!

Great service, stash showed me the app and the game on the app to win free dough balls!

Food arrived 1hr 20 mins after ordering, freezing cold and items missing.

Pizza wasn’t great at all. It seemed like it was two pizza stuck on top of each other. Every time I took a slice the dough would peel off. That’s a first in pizza eating for me. Ordered the American double and it wasn’t double cheese or pepperoni at all. Chicken wings, asked for spicy ones got the lemon, very forgetful. Prefer twice here and just disappointed on a £20 bill. Sorry guys.

Emanuel is an excellent member of staff, fun, friendly and very attentive

The manager is extremely kind and attentive, customer service is amazing always smiling and good energy

The food and the atmosphere were good but the service was amazing by Emad. He attended to our every need and was really helpful throughout our dinning.

Very nice service,Waiting to order and then very nice guy Raihan take care of my order !! Very lucky to have him in Angel store. Thank you to manager Sirood as well for being so kind! Definitely will come back with my family, Best wishes

5-Star Review for Pizza Express, Islington – A Magical Experience Thanks to Emad and Salem Our visit to Pizza Express, Islington, was nothing short of enchanting, and that was entirely down to the exceptional service we received from Emad and the lovely waitress, Salem. From the moment we walked in, their warm smiles and welcoming demeanour set the tone for a truly memorable evening. Emad, in particular, went above and beyond to make our experience magical. With Christmas just around the corner, he infused the evening with festive cheer, ensuring that every detail was perfect. He was incredibly attentive, taking the time to engage with our table and ensuring that we felt genuinely cared for throughout the evening. His kindness and thoughtfulness truly stood out—whether it was the extra attention to our specific requests, or the little touches he added to make the night feel special. Salem was equally outstanding, complementing Emad’s efforts with her own impeccable service. She was gracious, efficient, and incredibly friendly, creating an atmosphere that made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. Her attention to detail was remarkable, and she never let our glasses run dry or our plates go unnoticed. Together, Emad and Salem were an unbeatable team, working seamlessly to deliver not just a meal but an unforgettable experience. They embodied the spirit of the season—kindness, generosity, and joy—and truly deserve to be recognised for their hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for a dining experience that goes beyond great food and delivers a sense of warmth and festivity, this is the place to be. Emad and Salem, thank you for making our evening so special. You both are a credit to Pizza Express, and we can’t wait to return!

I visited Pizza Express Angel on Thursday evening with a group of colleagues, and unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. Despite the restaurant not being particularly busy, we waited well over an hour for our food, which was extremely frustrating. We had specifically requested that our starters and mains be served together, as we had all ordered salads to accompany our mains. However, this request was not honored, and our meals were served at separate times. This mishandling of a straightforward request significantly detracted from the experience. This is not the first time I’ve experienced extremely slow service at this brand, which is why I’ve decided to write this review. It’s incredibly disappointing that such issues seem to be recurring. The only positive from the evening was our waiter, Emad, who was exceptionally professional, attentive, and apologetic throughout. His efforts were appreciated and were the saving grace of an otherwise frustrating visit. I’ve always enjoyed Pizza Express in the past, but this visit fell well below expectations. Unfortunately, I can’t see myself recommending this branch based on this experience.

I particularly liked this Pizza Express due to the excellent staff - very impressed with the service, lovely pizza and fab puddings.

Good Value and amazing pizza and service. Love the offers on the app. Which is a great way to save money. This visit was a take out.

the food was really good, staff were very friendly and attentive. i would definitely come here again. i put £20-£30 per person but its showing as £10-£20

Had a very pleasant time Great service but as it was busy, had to ask for some things.

Anthem was the best! must recommend!!!

Anthem was great. Definitely recommend!!

The team was amazing, especially the cool suitted manager

It was a very pleasant experience

First time in this branch and I must say I had the best customer experience ever! Food was delicious and Eliot and Shiroud were fantastic!

Amazing service with quick food.

A little bit under par compared to most pizza express restaurants.

Apart from the chilli prawns all was lovely

My first time service was amazing all the questions were answered and recommendation even telling us about offers food was great they do serve alcohol-free beer

We both had a Caesar salad and it was the right choice after a gym session. Literally gonna comeback next week for it again. I have to point out on Anthony’s service as well which was excellent.

One pizza, Funghi di Bosco, was missing filling over 1/3 of surface

I have ordered more times pizza and many times came in not proper conditions but we understand that sometimes this could happen ( cheese spread in the. box, cold, a bit burned....) and although this happened we still continue order other times and other times happen the same and today i received a completely different dish of pasta.it is a shame because i like the food from here a lot. pizza is nice but I think food for delivery needs to be improve a bit more as I love to eat pizza from here.

The assistant general manager was welcoming and chatty.

Not cooked thoroughly enough pizza was very doughy

The Order never came and the restaurant closed before we could reach out hoping for a refund

very quick service from Anthem and Emad ! Food was spectacular ( pizza very nice and crispy ) !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We walked in and were totally ignored by the staff, one was taking orders and 2 were just chatting at the counter, however, when we were eventually greeted the girl was so rude and the way she was looking me and my partner up and down was very uncomfortable, she throw the menus at the table before we even sat. Once we sat she started moving the chairs violently and stormed off. Then she was whispering to the other girl and looking at us making us even more uncomfortable. To that point my husband went over and said do you have a problem? Because you have been very rude and we can clearly see you are talking about us, what the problem? The girl in question was just staring and the other one said no no problem. There was never an apology. I do believe we were treated like this as I was wearing a headscarf. This is absolutely shocking behaviour from staff members at a company like this. We walked off and went to Pizza Express in Clerkenwell, the staff were absolutely amazing, great service and excellent food. A formal complaint has been submitted.

Very nice place with exceptional service. Many thanks to Sel.., for exceptional service and friendliness. We will come back. 😊

I was cycling home, I had such a long ride ahead of me, I stopped by and asked if I could have some water, the manager or somebody asked 'what sort of a question is that?' and gladly refilled my water bottle and asked if I was hungry, I declined explaining I have food with me, just needed water. Who ever this person was, was so kind and willing to help a passing stranger. Thank you for your kindness and quick polite conversation about how our day had been going and showing each other respect. - I'll pass on the kindness and service 10 fold.

Great service the food came quick and the waitress was very nice and the food was so good dough balls really nice especially with pesto and garlic butter

Waitress Selam, was excellent and very friendly, will come back to this location just for her! She is so friendly and nice to speak to, makes you feel so welcome and at ease. Thank you Selam

Lovely experience dining here, great food and great atmosphere , big thanks to Anthem aswell for great service. Will be coming back for sure!

The food was tasty, the thin pizza is very thin and light, the cannelloni was very small and swung in sauces but was tasty as well. There were flies, flying around our food all the time. Very uncomfortable and we felt a bit disgusted. Not coming back for that reason.

This is my local branch and the lovely staff team always go out of their way to make me feel at home. So thank you to : Ella, Emad and Bou. My friend and I shared a bottle of Chardonnay and each had a pizza Fiorentina. Pizza was outstanding. Because I have gold status on their app, we also got a large bottle of sparkling water, a can of Coke and a dolcetti on the house, so worth signing up.

Ordered thin and crispy, just got thin. Staff very good. But a cup of tea for £3.45 with a cup of hot water on the side is not good enough. Someone needs to tell them that tea should be infused at the point of which the water reaches boiling point. I will not be going back.

Anthem was such a lovely server! took great care of us, went above and beyond. plus the food was perfect :)

The wrong pizza was sent to us, we ordered a margarita but were given a garlic prawn pizza. (I am very allergic to prawns) The restaurant offered a new margarita pizza for us but we couldn't collect it due to my friend & I having mobility impacting disabilities & no car. They tried to contact just eat to arrange a new delivery driver but there was no answer. They then wanted me to buy a whole new pizza despite me not being refunded yet. I haven't heard from just eat & this happened on Sunday!

Love going for a pizza here Sat outside with a friend and my small dog Immediately the Waiter Antonio brought some water for my dog Without having to ask for one The the Deputy GM came over with menus We ordered 2 pizzas and a bottle of wine We were asked if we had any allergies And asked many times if we were enjoying the food A great experience and definitely going back

The pizza express in Islington is the best place I’ve been. Great service and great food. Come here for your next meal out!

the best pizza i’ve ever eaten. awesome service and food and the manager is incredible!

Absolutely appalling. Ordered the greatest duo of dough balls and margarita pizza and no margarita pizza turned up so now I’m left hungry and have to wait days for a refund. Great! thanks guys.

My favourite pizza restaurant. Although I always eat pizza from authentic Italian restaurants, pizza express is still a great option, especially when you have children. The kids menu is loved by most children. The service quality is not far from a fine dining restaurant. Food is delicious, well priced and served fast.

The food was amazing - the padana and calabrese pizza just tastes so unbelievably good. The dough balls were soft and had the perfect amount of garlic taste. Best pizza express location i’ve been to. Thank you to Anthem for his interactive and friendly service that kept us entertained and smiley throughout the dine! Definitely visiting this spot again :)

Went in before final Arsenal game of the season. Friendly staff, great food as in all Pizza express

Lovely food, hardly had to wait at all for the meals to be brought out. Service was great and all the staff were friendly and attentive

We passed by Pizza Express wanted to by a take away pizza for kids but Connie who served us receive us very well and convinced us to sit and she offered us great suggestions explaining the menu. American Classic Hottest came up like an artwork with the Hot Honey DB. Thank you Connie, we had a great chat, slice and a drink went home fully satisfied. Looking forward for a dinner with the kids soon.

pizza express is a chain that has been around for a very long time. I went today for the first time in many years and it was just for a quick bite with my friend and our children. I didn’t expect much. I was SO SO wrong. It was an absolutely fantastic experience. The food was delicious, but the service is what made it truly exceptional. We went with my friend’s son (4) my daughter (2) and my son (6 months) and they could not be more accommodating, helpful, understanding, pleasant and generally wonderful. My daughter also has some allergies which they were brilliant with. My friend’s son had a babyccino, and without asking they brought my daughter an oat Milk one so she didn’t feel left out. They were beyond thoughtful. They let me have my pram in an inconvenient place because it was helpful for my baby. Honestly - I was just wowed with how lovely they all were. Thank you to the team there and the staff that served us. My daughter actually asked to go back as soon as we walked out. So we will be coming back if only for the wonderful staff.

Great service from selam. Nice manager. Great chefs.

Selam and emad and Antonio were awesome Manager was cool too

Great job to Connie and Salem at Pizza Express Islington for there remarkable service and recommendations as we travelled from America.

Ela was super friendly and helpful. She listened to what we wanted and have great recommendations.

Service was excellent Selam was a fantastic waitress when I come back it will be because of her and not just the quality pizza.

We came in for a work dinner and were served by the lovely Connie who was super friendly and very efficient! Thankyou Connie ☺️

Late-Night Craving Fulfilled: Pizza Express Islington's Exceptional Service 🌟 Finding a restaurant that caters to specific dietary requirements can be a challenge. My husband cannot eat food that contains onion or garlic, while I do. Pizza Express at Islington not only met our needs but exceeded them, all this at 9:56 pm on a Sunday night when most restaurants are closing! Returning from a social event, we were craving something snacky to take away for our hour-and-a-half journey home. We were thrilled to see Pizza Express open. Despite the fact that the kitchen staff was clearly wrapping up for the night, the manager, Anthem, stepped in to save the day, graciously accepting our request for dough balls to go. Anthem ensured our order met our dietary requirements and packed us a generous serving of dips, knowing we had a long drive ahead. The warm, delicious dough balls made our trip delightful. Each bite was a testament to the exceptional service and kindness at Pizza Express Islington.😇 Although we have a local Pizza Express, the Islington branch has won us over with their warm, welcoming service. We’re 100% visiting again to relive this exceptional experience. Thank you, Anthem, for making an ordinary night memorable!❤️

we had Ela serve us, she was patient, polite and friendly. the manager was also very welcoming - will definitely recommend and come back again to this location!!!

Our visit to Pizza Express was exceptional, thanks to our waitress, Ela. Her friendly and attentive service made the evening special. The Margherita pizza was perfect, with a crispy crust and fresh toppings. The creamy, rich ice cream dessert was the perfect ending. Highly recommended!

This is the best pizza place. couldn’t be better.

The place is very nice and the service is excellent!!!!!

Consistent good service from here.

Awesome food! Great manager - anthem?! Special thanks to Ela and Emad for great service! Will definitely come again!

Dreadful tasteless pizza, no atmosphere.

Emad and Anton gave brilliant service!

No egg, no anchovies no extra goats cheese which I paid for! Lots of lettuce….thus is not a Caesar salad.

Missing Multiple items. Find it hard for something like multiple orders of Dough balls can be so hard

Good but quite expensive for what it is.

Before I have even eaten I am writing a review because the service was exceptional. Super accommodating, informative, personable and genuine. Made my night. Thank you guys !

The manager of this restaurant was FANTASTIC! possibly the best service we’ve had in a while. Couldn’t recommend more

This was the first time I tried this pizza chain and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was SO good and so was the service. Be warned though, it’s not the prettiest looking joint. When we arrived there was rubbish on the floor.

Driver was in the wrong address ... It was wondering with my pizza at 68a and not at 68 ....seal of the pizza was.broken and pizza stone cold ....I hate incompetence

I love Pizza Express but was really disappointed today. Despite not being busy at all, it took quite long for the order to be taken and too long to get the food. The calamari did look and tasted like microwaved. Pizza was OK but would expect something better for the price we paid.

Ela was brilliant - quick and friendly service, highly recommend

Simply lovely pizza, service and atmosphere!

This company is not serious. I came to pick up my order and they say I have to cancel it because I have to wait 20 minutes. After 20 minutes they said I had to wait another 20 minutes. The waiter isn't even willing to listen to me. Complete lack of respect for suppliers.

We were seated and served before another table, they had starters and mains before we got food. The staff were focused on the takeaways more then the people sitting in. We had to leave having no food and waiting for 50 mins. Terrible, spoilt our day. There is no point in booking a table like we did.

The pizza was not well prepared at all

London for the weekend and son fancied PizzaExpress (as usual!) I didn't complain! Was happy to find the Islington branch where we received a warm welcome, food was great, lovely interaction from the team. Made even better by my Gold status on their App, had a great deal! Will be sure to visit again when next in London

The problem was more about transportation than food. One pizza arrived upside down so toppings were a mess, one had obviously been on its side so toppings had slid off. The only thing about the food was that the buttermilk chicken was a little black in parts!

We arrived at around 1pm and we were seated promptly. Our waitress enquired about allergens and was very knowledgeable and helpful in recommending the appropriate food - my girlfriend is gluten intolerant. The atmosphere was great. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious.

Fantastic experience. The service was brilliant from start to finish, really attentive. The food was hot and tasty. I’d definitely recommend!

It was wonderful to receive such friendly and helpful customer service from the team. I had an excellent experience and would definitely come back.

Amal was perhaps the best server I’ve had in years! The kindest, most accommodating soul! It’s been years since I’ve been to pizza express but honestly he made the experience here so lovely! Thank you to the whole team!!

We went for pizza to this PizzaExpress branch, and boy was it good! Great music, amazing food and very friendly staff, who made our little boy feel so special. We had two Romana Duo,which allowed us to have a taste of 4 different pizzas. Pollo Fiesta was my absolute favourite- full of flavour, crispy thin crust, plenty of toppings. Piccolo menu was exceptional value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing food and super friendly service from Ela. Highly recommend!

Family of five, popped in on the way to a show . Seated quickly, great food and our server, Emanuel, was very attentive, courteous and good sense of humour.

Reliable staple where the service always puts to shame restaurants 5x more expensive. I've been going on and off for 20 years, so it's not the same waiting staff, which is a testament to Pizza Express's training and management. Their still happy to make me a Napoletana, even though it hasn't been on the menu for a decade. Pro tip: tip in cash so the staff get it directly.

Food was freezing, pizza was covered in tomato sauce and the garlic bread with mozzarella was half the usual size

I Oder a sloppy giuseppe it came with 2 peppers in it I called back the staff where rude as usual

Oreder a pizza today and this is what I was sent when I called back the woman was rude as usual with these staff this was meant to be a sloppy giuseppe plus was cold lol

Me and my family walked into the restaurant and asked to be seated. We kindly asked the staff to allow us to feed our boy chicken nuggets which we had bought from across the street while we order and eat. Both the staff and the subsequent manager who showed up were very rude. Very badly trained and the manager is a rude woman who needs to learn how to talk to people. Terrible place. You need new staff before you lose all your customers. Merry Christmas.

You need to train your staff in how show some respect to people around, especially riders. I've witnessed a horrible scene this afternoon as the waitress(who's from West Africa) was despising one of the delivery riders, treating him as a slave which is really unprofessional and disgusting Shame on you. I definitely do not recommend this place to anyone.

Went to a kids birthday party. Everything was great!

Excellent family dinner on Friday Evening (1st December). Staff were so friendly and helpful. Will be back when next in Islington

Great for 2 year olds. Our one so happy when eating Pizza. And Express offer great service this way for them

Food cold. Order not complete or correct according to order. Estimated time got later and later

I asked for NO MUSHROOMS I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DONT LISTEN NOW £20 worth of food wasted.
