Minimal service, average food. Vegan pizza was soggy in the middle and pasta was very oily. Pricing high, although O2 offer helps!

Very disappointed, we come a lot and over time staff have become awkward and manager also. Always hesitant to accept alternative tenders, o2 vouchers and vouchers from their own app. Told to sit as different tables if we split the bill.

Ok. So it wasn’t very busy. There was two staff in the kitchen and one on the restaurant floor. Well there was a second but I guess she was management and did little. So service wasn’t great. Not that the girl that was alone was poor. Maybe young with little experience but pleasant enough. Had a starter that was very good to be honest. But most of the mains (pizzas) were all burnt a bit. And it wasn’t just ours. Other orders made suffered the same fate. The restaurant spent most of the 2hrs we were there in burnt pizza dough smoke and smell. So the food not great. And service generally poor. A disappointing visit and I won’t be returning to this particular outlet.

Food is good and the staff are very friendly however the hard floors of this restaurant amplify any noise hugely. When I visited there weren't many people but the noise from cutlery, crockery and glasses being collected or stacked, and chairs being scraped on the floor every time somebody arrived or left (or whenever the waitress wanted to move them about) was horrible. Jars the ears all the time. I think the problem is the floor - PE put softer floors down and people might enjoy a visit more

Had an early week day dinner with my family. I do like Pizza Express and the service was friendly. The food is good but I agree the menu is overpriced. As is mostly the case with me my pizza was delicious but I don't get a hot pizza from these guys. It's usually warm but if not eaten quite sharpish it will go on the cold side. I guess I'm just unlucky. The kids menus are good but my only gripe was my daughter wanted the chocolate brownie and wanted to substitute the strawberries and icing sugar for a scoop of ice cream instead. Now at other restaurants we have been to they just do this for her but Pizza Express wanted an extra £2. Her whole menu was only about £7! I paid it and this scoop was tiny. I just thought that was a bit tight. I like the mini desserts with coffee they offer if you fancy something sweet but do not want a full sized afters. On the whole an enjoyable meal.

As this restaurant is relatively close to us, my wife and I have eaten here on a few occasions and after not visiting for some time, we popped in for an impromptu lunch yesterday. I have no complaints about the food nor the service.... all good... but the ‘deco’ (or lack of) is quite ‘sad’ and really in need of an ‘overhaul’. The place has a very high ceiling and is very lacking in ambience and I feel could do with a make-over...

We visited on a Saturday lunch time when the restaurant was crowded with families and children. The staff were few, but they certainly worked hard, especially the manager who rushed about clearing tables and serving customers. We went there because one of our party was vegan and we were enticed in by the vegan menu. They weren't disappointed. Also we managed to get a code online for 2 courses for £11.95, which was very good value.

My first time to this place...it was nice and had a family feel about it. The waitresses were so helpful with describing what sizes and what certain ingredients were. It was busy but we didnt wait too long. The thin base was paper thin..but very tasty. For my picky granddaughters, aftet hesitantly placing one mouthful I was expecting a "yuk" but got a"hhhmmmm" and they ate it all! We was never rushed and the waitresses only approached us when needed. Not like some places theyre hovering around to take more orders ir trying to rush you. This place was so relaxing!

Just terrible. There was a deal on so the restaurant was rammed, the service was beyond slow and unorganised. A mid week meal ended up a a chore. The food was burnt and cold! We were given 40% off the food bill and complimentary dessert, which we took to go! When we got home the desserts were scraps and would have been returned if they'd been served in the restaurant! Initially I empathised with the staff but on reflection if they are overwhelmed due to a mid week deal at some point the 'manager' has to say no to new customers to maintain service! Check out the egg on the pizza! Disappointing.

Our daughter and family suddenly turned up today (Bank Holiday). They had decided to visit Whipsnade and asked if we would join them for a meal. We were not sure if we would be able to get a table for seven at such short notice. When I phoned to enquire I spoke with the manager Kris. He was extremely helpful and said he would set aside a table for eight and was not concerned that I was unable to give him a specific time. We eventually all met up at Pizza Express and enjoyed a lovely family meal together. Our waitress Marika was very helpful and patient in taking down the various orders - all different!! This was a rare time for us all to be together and thank you to Kris, Marika and the chef for making this a memorable occasion. Thanks Kris for also taking a family photo!

Having had a poor experience here and being disappointed, in February, we decided to give it another go, last night. The staff were friendly and efficient although we were kept a little too long for our starters considering the restaurant was not busy. I admit that we were slow to finish our (large) starters but when my pizza arrived, the egg in the middle of the pizza I had chosen (one of my favourites), was overcooked as if it had been prepared a bit too early.All tolled though, yes, a great improvement and we will happily give it another go in our quest for how Pizza Express used to be back in the day.

I think this will be our last trip to Pizza Express HH...the whole experience has rapidly deteriorated over the past year or so. Two waiting staff and one chef for over 40 people in the restaurant?! The poor kids left to manage the restaurant were run off their feet, they were extremely polite and apologetic and clearly not to blame for the state of the place. No sign of any management.. The decor is also extremely tired and tatty, no ambience whatsoever, more like a school canteen. They'll need to up their game pretty quickly!

I booked a table for 7.00PM for just myself and my daughter. We arrived 5 minutes late but waited at the doorway for 5 minutes waiting to be served. It was almost full. The manager was apologetic and sat us close to the door. Unfortunately there is no storm porch and so everytime someone used the door and icy blast hit us. After 15 minutes of this I saw a small empty table and moved. Other Pizza Express restaurants have storm porches and there is space to build one here. Its very bad design to ignore this problem.By 7.30 we still hadn't had our order taken and people who had arrived after us had been given drinks. We grabbed the manager and gave him our order. He didn't write it down but repeated it, one garlic bread, two pizzas and two drinks. The garlic bread arrived 10 minutes later but with cheese topping. I grabbed the waiter and explained that I just wanted garlic bread and he said that they didn't offer plain garlic bread anymore. So I started to eat it and there was no garlic at all. My very hungry daughter dislikes garlic but tried a bite and then wolfed the lot saying she couldn't taste any garlic either. A second waitress then explained that we could have asked for just garlic bread, they would have made it. I'm pretty sure that was what I asked for...never mind.At 7.45 the pizzas arrived but still no drinks. I asked the waiter who asked me if I'd ordered drinks? Really? They were then delivered with apologies.The pizzas were great and rather than wait for the bill I paid at the till. The manager seemed a very nice guy but they were full and understaffed.Not a venue to visit in the winter with a wind blowing and perhaps best avoided if it looks busy. I won't be ordering garlic bread any more.

This restaurant has normally been a favourite of ours, probably visiting once or twice a month. After a hard day's work, it's usually been just the ticket for a quick, enjoyable meal. We visited yesterday evening, a Wednesday. From the moment we arrived we felt things were not as normal and, more or less, had to find ourselves a table. So we did, and there we waited, and waited. It was not particularly busy but it seemed like one waitress was serving while one guy floated around looking busy but not actually. After 15 minutes, having heard his response to other diners' requests for service as "I'll be with you in a minute, everyone wants me at once", we decided to do him a favour and leave, two less people to bother him. We had our meal elsewhere and were happy with that. In fact, we were so happy that we ask ourselves whether or not just to stick with the other venue where service was good, food and drink reasonably priced.

My partner wanted to visit Hemel for the sales. Having arrived late morning we decided to have lunch after visiting the first store.I was not over happy about the insincere greeting “Hi Guys, How are we today” as it just seemed put on and we were a normal couple not a group of lads. We got a table straight away, the drinks arrived promptly and our order was take. My partner started with the calamari which she enjoyed – whist my tomato and mozzarella salad was tasty it was spoilt by being drowned in oil – I would much rather add my own dressing. I had opted for the thin crust pizza (at extra cost) and received the thinnest pizza I have ever seen with an incredibly thin layer of topping – it wasn’t worth half its cost. My partner had the salmon and prawn terrine but struggled to find any prawn. We only shared a dessert as it was part of the lunch time deal. The profiteroles were sickly sweet spoiling their enjoyment. As things were not improving we decided to give coffee a miss.Like many modern restaurants there are to many hard surfaces which create a high noise level,, when busy, making it hard to hear!The meal was a total disappointment and we will not be using Pizza Express again!

Having used Pizza Express occasionally across over 40 years, from the initial concept in Dean Street through to its national chain status of today, it is not what it was since the revamp and menu restructuring and changes of a few years back. It's more that it has moved down closer to its high street rivals than they have closed the gap by moving up. Still just about value if you have some vouchers/offers, but the food is simply no longer as good as it used to be - certainly not at this branch anyway.

The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming and the food was amazing, as always for a pizza express. My only critique was that the deserts that we ordered did not come out at the same time, though in comparison to the 5* experience the rest of the night offered, it is a minor setback. The next time we are in Hemel we will definitely be revisiting.

The staff member who served us was clearly not really "with it" and by his own admission was surviving on 2 hours sleep and looking forward to the end of his shift. His menu knowledge was poor - he didn't know what the Tartufo Limoncello was - so I ordered it anyway and was very disappointed with the pathetically small portion. Overall, service was "OK" (though attentiveness to clearing away glasses, bottles, etc.) could have been better and the food was as I would expect from a Pizza Express but when I'm spending £88 on a family meal (even from a chain restaurant), I would like staff to know what it is they serve...

I love this restaurant chain, the menu has a great variety of choices always something to try. I had the diavolo on thin crust, a splendid looking and tasting pizza presented well. Didn't book got a tablet immediately, prompt service and the starters and main arrive in a timely fashion. I would score higher but the restaurant needs some sound breakers to try and absorb some of the noise generated by the diners and kitchen staff. I found myself struggling to have a conversation due to the noise level. I would go back, good food reasonably priced and great location.

Our waitress was Charlotte. She was lovely, friendly and prompt. And food was quick and yummy. Couldn't finish but will take home to eat later. I will be back as soon as I can.

We dined here early Sunday afternoon. It was quite empty and were approached by the manager and we were able to choose our own table. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming.Our food took a while to arrive and we could see there was a discussion going on at the kitchen area. One of our pizzas had accidentally been given to another table, they apologised and we respected the fact they were honest. It was a genuine mistake, however the other pizza was kept warm in the oven, which in the process, the cheese had melted far too much and wasn't as enjoyable. In the meantime the restaurant started to get rather busy and there were queues at the door which made me notice how small it is which is a shame really as people were walking away. It took a while for our table to be cleared but that was understandable considering how busy it had become. Overall, it wasn't a great experience but I would revisit.

This evening we were served my Millie who was absolutely wonderful! Not only was she friendly, polite and bubbly, Millie reassured me my allergies to garlic, onion, dairy and wheat wouldn't be an issue! I had gluten free dough balls, follower by a gluten free base with amended topping! Service was fantastic, food was fantastic and I would definitely recommend!

Highly recommended restaurant. Definitely go for the Sloppy Giuseppe. Very welcoming on the door - Hopefully the tip went to Jack (sorry don't know the surname).

It was very pleasant being able to sit at a table outside. It is a good location on a warm, sunny day. We enjoyed our food but found the service rather slow. It is a big area to service and I found the waiting staff were all over the place.

A meal that should have been nice and quick ended up taking about 2 and a half hours. From the start we were having to stop the staff and ask if we could order drinks, then we had to stop them again to ask if we could order food and then again for pudding. Nothing seemed to flow at all.The puddings were a rather disastrous experience, after a fair wait for some information about whether the brownies contained nuts we were informed they were not actually available anyway. 5 mins later and we were told another of the deserts we ordered was also not available.A complaint to the manager and the response was along the lines of we weren't the first to complain, and the majority of the staff were being trained. To me her whole reply seemed to just be a series of excuses.On the last visit to the toilets I spotted a bloody tissue sitting on the side of the sinks, I recall seeing a man go in to the toilets an hour before we spotted it with a nose bleed. So it seems the toilets were also not checked regularly.

Had a nice lunch here waiter was friendly and efficient it was not busy at the time so not sure if they are always as good. Food was tasty and all as expected. Left feeling happy and full. Would be 5 stars but some attention to detail on the cleaning is required the walls and pictures on the wall need a good clean.

You can't go wrong with Pizza Express, they cater to all Pizza Lovers and even to those who are not - the food is fresh and prepared in front of you. Staff are always helpful and friendly

We had the rudest lady serving us. We said we was in a rush an (hour and a half in the restaurant as we had cinema tickets booked), to which she said hurry up and order then!! Then asked for no sauce in my daughters pasta and she gave me a dirty look, kids starters come out and where good, but we politely asked manager for mains to be cooked now instead of waiting for them to finish which he said was fine. When I looked over again she was giving me dirty look again and clearly saying something about us. Mains come out my 10 year old sister cut into her pizza and there was a massive blonde hair under the cheese. We called our waitress over who said she couldn't see anything. The manager took it away and then said it was cheese!!! It was not cheese it was a hair. At this point we were pretty annoyed but said something quietly to him about how we don't appreciate being called liars to which he apologised. Our server ignored us the rest of the meal. We got our own kids pudding menus (only because kids were included in price) and they are tiny freezing cold brownies wish we hadn't bothered. It's a shame as my pizza was quite nice. I work in a restaurant myself and would never treat a customer this way... The lady defiantly needs training. I get mistakes happen with food but the service was terrible!

The prices in pizza express are shocking for what you actually receive. I ordered a 'special' Hawaiian last night and I really don't see what is special about it, it was bland bland bland! Three pieces of Parma ham and some blobs of chutney sporadically placed. There were massive sections with no toppings at all and the side salad I had ordered was drab and lacked taste (other than the creamy dressing it is served with). Desert was also equally as bland and uninteresting. I haven't been to pizza express in years but I will certainly not eat in their chain again. Also the walls next to our table were very dirty which was a little off putting. The only thing that was enjoyable was the wine. Pizza is such an easy thing to get right but profit margins are obviously the focus at PE rather than decent food.

Always happy with the service and the food is consistently good - great for a quick lunch and equally good for a group of friends. You just know what you're getting with Pizza Express.

Sinceramente non lo consiglio. La Cesar salad era veramente povera e l' insalata utilizzata aveva delle fohlie enormi che ho dovuto tagliare. La pizza aveva le stesse dimensioni di una surgelata piccola. La birra in bottiglia aveva un prezzo troppo alto. Il dolce era buono , ma il conto troppo salato... lo consiglio solo se non avete nessun altro posto dove andare.

Just a lovely place with absolutely lovely food! Never had a bad experience here, it's always beautiful! and the staff are always very friendly. The only issue is I can't used my tastecard at the weekends!

Great food, all the time! Fresh salads and super-light pizza bases cooked to order.Extensive menu and good selection.If you are mindful, you will never pay full price as Pizza Express are part of the Tastecard revolution, and their deals and voucher codes are always in O2 Priority.Adding on the 10% Service Charge and then saying it is optional seems a little cheeky, to say the least.I am happy to tip if I get great service as well as good food but a waitress should never assume nor demand her tip.

4 of us went for a midweek evening meal that we pre-booked, and was shown to our table by a very friendly staff member, in fact all throughout the evening the staff were brilliant. I would recommend the mushroom bruschetta to start, it was delicious. I had the American Hottest for my main and that was tasty too, finished with a vanilla cheesecake and everyone else's food was equally nice so I was told.The layout is non cluttered and it looked clean and tidy, they also accept the Taste Card which makes it a bargain. Will definitely be back.
