Pizza Express in West Dorset

Always a great pizza and half price offer on at the moment!

Love the food and the very welcoming and helpful waiters and waitresses, i have come here before it was just the same great quality!

I am very grateful for a kind help we received yesterday from the amazing staff in Pizza Express, Dorchester. A young girl felt unwell after the parade of Remembrance Day, she needed to sit and rest. The staff in Pizza Express took care of us, provided a cup of tea, biscuits, and gave shelter till her mum arrived. They didn't want any money. Well impressed. Thank you so much.

I’ve been here twice and it doesn’t disappoint. The food is amazing and so are the staff. I would definitely recommend it.

We didn't book but we managed to get a table for 4. The staff were welcoming and very patient dealing with our somewhat complicated dietary needs. The food came promptly and was really tasty. It's great to be able to have 2 toppings on one pizza. The option of a hot drink & small sweet is a great idea too. We were disappointed with the decaf coffee, which was very weak & insipid, however, they were happy to swap for a fresh mint tea. We don't eat out much but this was a real treat and fun, we will return. Thank you.

As is usually the case with Pizza Express, the food was delicious all round and fantastic value. But a special mention is deserved for this branch for the outstanding level of service. From the minute we arrived, every member of staff that served us was friendly, helpful, efficient, and could not have done more to make our lunchtime more pleasant. Outstanding. The fact that the kids were able to eat for free was an added and unexpected bonus! Such a family friendly place.

Good food and service, restaurant a little quiet.

Found a hair in my food that definitely wasn't mine. Put it on a napkin and gave to waitress who said she would log it. No apology and no refund of the half of pizza that was contaminated and couldn't be eaten

The food was lovely until I found a short black hair under my pizza, so I wasn't able to finish it (I have long blonde hair, so definitely not mine). I put the hair to one side on a napkin and showed the waitress. She said 'I will have to log that' and took it away. No apology, pizza charge was not removed from bill, nothing! Terrible response from Pizza Express to such a big hygiene violation. So if you dine here, beware the hidden 'extras'

Thank you pizza express for your tasty food and good service

Food was very very dry , need extra drinks to eat , service was good and quick ,

We had yet another lovely meal here this evening. Would especially like to mention the waiter who looked after us, he was also our waiter last time we visited - he is a true credit to this restaurant. He was working tonight (9th Oct) has dark hair and was in the black and white stripy uniform... always super friendly and went out of his way to make me a cortado this evening. Sadly I think he had finished before we left the restaurant as we wanted to personally give him a tip but couldn't see him anywhere. Thank you for a lovely dinner 😊 I recommend this Pizza Express, consistently a nice experience. We will be back soon!

Lovely lunch out. Service was a tad slow But then food was lovely.

Seemed short staffed. Although quiet we had to wait to be served. The food arrived in good time however.

Outstanding service from lovely host and hostess, superb pizzas, wine a little overpriced, but an excellent experience.

Excellent customer service from start to finish with waiter making suggestions. Pizzas were very good with plenty of topping - unlike some Pizza Express restaurants we've visited Nice ambience too

Great Atmosphere, Staff and Food.

Really good pizza at really good prices. Great service. It's a modern restaurant so I can't say to much about the atmosphere.

Turned up unannounced and they managed to seat a family of five, always polite and friendly staff, the new volcano dough balls are chefs kiss. Solid and reliable restaurant.

Great service, very helpful friendly staff and pizza to die for, highly recommend

We ordered 2 pizzas. We waited a bit long. Pizzas were good but the table and chair was soooo dirty and sticky. Halloumi starter was good, I would recommend that.

We had a wonderful meal. Absolutely delicious and served brilliantly. Outstanding value for money and full of flavour.

Decided on a spur of the moment pizza visit, Dorchester was very busy but Evie found us a table in a quieter part of the restaurant which we appreciated. Despite being very full our starters, pizzas and desert coffee arrived really quickly we could see the kitchen were working flat out. Pizzas were great, all the food was great. Big shout out to Evie and Maisie who looked after us really well.

I've been going for a while, and its always consistently good. Great selection for everyone, my twin brother is vegan and they have a tonne of options for him. My favourite desert used to be the toffee fudge glory, which they discontinued a few years ago much to my dismay! They now have a biscoff sundae that's right up there and filling the void for me! Great pizzas, great selection, always consistent!

A lovely evening ,attentative cheerful staff and good well priced food .Wine was excellent ,cold and delicious .As such a warm evening we sat outside which was great for people watching . Havent been here for a while but will certainly return .

It was hard to pick the main reason as we had a great experience. As well as the food being delicious, it was brought out quickly and was fresh and hot. The team were attentive, friendly, and responsive. We were sat outside in the sunshine and the atmosphere was lovely. We also felt our meal was good value as we used a UNIDAYS student discount which got us 25% off our entire bill.

Just had the best meal ever at pizza express!! Got served by the gorgeous Evie and handsome Pat. Service was so so quick I was so impressed. Even more impressed seeing Pat hold 5 plates!! I think you should consider stuffed crust to take your pizza to the next level 🚀

Meal with our daughter and grandsons, the stag were very good, but it was slow, food was good as usual and they were very nice to our two year old.

We had a meal this evening and felt it was very bad value for money.....How can dough balls be £5.95 !l!! There was hardly any chicken in the Calezoine Pizza that we orderd - again really poor value for money. The staff were good & attentive but overall it was a poor experience due to the food. Our bill came to almost £60 which was very high considering what we ordered....

The duty manager John and his team pulled out all the stops for our party of 20 …food came out all at once lovely and hot, nothing was too much trouble especially as I had given out the Irish version of the pizza express menu to the party 🤦‍♀️ to pre book! He diligently and calmly rectified my mistake!! Thanks John!!!! Sarah

Very pleasant atmosphere, the manager is very nice and caring, we remember our visit very well, thank you

Dorchester restaurant bakes a really mean pizza. The staff are friendly and attentive. And the food always arrives piping hot. What’s not to like?

Nice atmosphere and fabulous food 😊

Very tasty food and everything at a high level, very nice staff 😊

Amazing staff and food are delicious !

Great food, polite and friendly staff. Parking nearby.

We booked for 12 as a family today 23/6/24. From the minute we arrived the service was amazing. The food was fantastic and our waitress Evie was so attentive, cheerful and polite. We all praised her and the whole experience was absolutely fantastic. Thanks again

Jon was very welcoming on the floor, my waitress Evie made my order quick and received my good quality food quickly

Service by Aliona and Phoebe went above and beyond. They helped us with app and getting deals. Food was excellent as always, and they made a birthday meal extra special with cake. Thank you so much

Had a lovely Father’s Day meal at this restaurant, Evie our server was perfect and nothing was too much to ask of her. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

After a lovely day walking and exploring the area what better place to eat than here ! Delicious pizza speedily prepared ! The manager was so helpful and had a great sense of humour who obviously loved his job ! Our waitress was so so efficient and charming and we left very happy customers! Thoroughly recommend !

We visited on 16th May for my wife's birthday, we were warmly welcomed by Maisie and shown to our table. The food was excellent, our server Matt was attentive and accommodating throughout and they even made a fuss for the birthday girl with a candle on her dessert too. Everything went smoothly and we'll be back again soon!

Love this pizza hut, not sure about the others since I haven't been but this pizza hut in Dorchester is excellent. Staff are incredibly nice and welcoming. Prices are great. Love it all, and the architecture is really nice. Really modern yet reminds me of an old diner. Love it.

Its your regular pizza restaurant. This establishment is clean, tidy and has a great team of staff serving. The food quality is good and service is efficient. If its a cold or windy outside, it can be quite cool and draughty inside though. When reserving a table, request one away from the two doors unless you don't mind an arctic blast while you eat.

Great service from Suzy! Nice relaxed atmosphere and good pizza. Pasta options are all gluten free.

Great attentive service from the moment I walked in. Fast service and checked if all was ok with food and drink. Appreciate it was midweek but still relatively busy and hence the service was great for it. Food usual good quality pizza express, the dough balls with pesto. Throughly recommended and the new BBQ chicken is very tasty. Overall a good experience.

We walked into the restaurant in dorchester, we didn't book a table so we went in to see if we could get a table however the staff didn't even acknowledge us, we stood at the door waiting for about 10 mins there was a guy on the phone, however 3 different waiting staff walked past us and not one person said hello or someone will be with you soon.

Fantastic food and service. Lovely friendly staff and very clean.

So after an issue with my Deliveroo who after 1 hr couldn’t deliver .. The manager John called me and he delivered my food to me . He is an asset to Dorchester branch and I look forward to dining In soon

Had a yummy pizza here. Waitress was very helpful.

It’s like all the other Pizza Expresses but I like this one the best as it’s near my house.

I am very impressed with the service at Dorchester. The pizzas and deserts were excellent. The lasagne was a bit bland, apparently, but overall, it was very good.

We were on holiday when we visited. The place was very quiet but still the service was rather slow. The food was average as were the prices.

They never disappoint us to cater to my son's food allergies. He can eat safely and food is yummy. Amazing service as usual :)

Can't really give a revue as such, "we dont' live at our address" and our "address does not exist" and "making it up address is not there", as we will not be getting any food from these people tonight as they refuse to supply, so, we shall go out of our imaginary house and along the imaginary road to an eatery that does want our money that is not imaginary.

We were the only customers so service was good

We had a great meal here! The pizzas were lovely and fresh and the service was great. Because we all had the app we enjoyed sides and desserts for free and half price pizzas!! Perfect! Well worth getting the app!

Excellent service Friendly atmosphere

Food and service was great until we got the bill. 4 pizzas, 2 salads, 1 side and 4 drinks came to £110. We tried to download the app and register to get the discounts but that didn't work even though the card on the table was promoting it. I tried at home and it still doesn't work. If we applied the correct vouchers, selected complimentary dough balls, etc then we could have saved a lot. The staff were kind, patient and eventually gave us a small discount but not enough to go back. For a single person wanting pizza, side or starter, plus drink, expect to spend almost £30 without vouchers. For a family of 5, it easily comes to over £100. One of the kids kicked off so dampened the evening, then the bill was the kick in the balls. In hindsight, should have just opted for takeaway and paid less than half. Recommend getting your vouchers sorted up front and be mindful that a discount voucher for a classic pizza is only applicable to one, so you need to get everyone to register on multiple phones. Doesn't really work for families.

Great service, lovely food unfortunately an alarm next door was going off so hence 4stars due to the noise.

A birthday treat before going to the cinema. Lovely staff, food & atmosphere. Well done everyone.

Very tasty! Nice idea with the duo romana, being able to have two different toppings. Service was great as well

Delicious 😋 pizza 🍕 as ever and nice service too

Delicious food, excellent service, classy atmosphere, lovely staff. Our waitress Evie was superb.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great seat outside and very efficient without rushing service. Thanks to all.

Helpful waiter but over an hour to receive order when we had reserved a table

Great food good service very helpful and attentive staff really enjoyed it. Will definitely go back. And would recommend this restaurant it's lovely.

Great pizza, salad not strong, staff great.

Predictably good - includes lots of gluten free pizzas too. Service at this one particularly good 😊

Very helpful, friendly and attentive servers, even whilst very busy. The place seemed to be running very smoothly with good wait times considering the volume of customers. Service felt personal and genuine. Great team! Food was good quality; plenty of vegan and GF options.

Very nice pizza and attentive and friendly service. Reasonable prices, highly recommended

Nice pizza quite lightweight had vegan padana only critique would be the caramelised onions ... there were too many making it a bit too sweet and lightweight on vegan cheese. Takeaway was delivered quickly.

Huge thank you to John, Aliena and the team for a perfect mother's day lunch yesterday! Even though it was super busy, the service and quality of food was excellent, 10/10! John was so thoughtful and looked after everyone on our table of 9, even crouching down to the kids level to help them choose their food, so kind! We'll be back soon!

Haven't been to PE for a few years. Last night the service and food was excellent.

Great food and service, made to feel welcome and the kids love it there, the staff are great with them. Would definitely recommend, will definitely be going back!

Great food, great staff, will return

Great service with delicious food

Went on a deal Friday night, pretty busy and pizza's are pretty good. Alcohol expensive though

It was a lovely meal, really enjoyed the pizzas. Service was lovely polite and efficient.

Very busy, service a little slow but friendly

Veronica is the best waitress ever. Really awesome!!! And the manageress was so lovely. Would defo come here again 😊

Good selection of pizza and very tasty. Good service which was to be anticipated as it was a week day, mid evening. Music is a little too loud for my liking.

This Pizza Express is located adjacent to Brewery Square in Dorchester. There is a large public car park on the opposite side of the road so parking is easy. Food was up to usual Pizza Express standards and the service was excellent. Nice decor and plenty of tables. Good experience.

Good pizzas and friendly service as usual.

Came in on 22.12 for a meal experienced great food, polite and friendly service. All good came promptly, all in all a positive dining experience.

It's Pizza Express, what can I say? The menu is good, the pizza OK (not as amazing as they used to be), but the service not so special. This branch was no different, so yes I'm glad we went and I will end up going back, but..... And finally, because I often do, something that makes me smile. This is not about the place I'm reviewing! WHAT PERSON DOESN’T LIKE PIZZA? A weirdough. How I Mark I may mark differently to some other reviewers, some might see this as harsh, others may see it as fair. But here's how I look at it: 5 star - WOW. I want to go back and look forward to doing so. They delivered everything expected and more. The 'more; is normally about the service or attitude of the staff. 4 star - GOOD. They delivered everything I wanted and a bit more. I recommend them and would go back. 3 star - OK. They delivered what I expected, I would go back if I needed to, although don't currently plan on doing so. 2 star - Not very good. I didn't get what I expected and the service wasn't good. I don't recommend this place. I might get dragged back here, although will always try to avoid it 1 star - This was rubbish. Don't go there, I certainly won't go there again. I didn't get what I wanted, the people were unhelpful and I didn't enjoy it in any way.

Enjoyed a lovely family meal with the help of Clubcard rewards

Not been before, dropped in on off chance with my granddaughter. We were very impressed. Lovely friendly restaurant. Veronica our waitress was extremely good at her job. Couldn’t fault the food. Would highly recommend.

Usual high standard from this brand but the service was excellent we would thoroughly recommend.

Food to get fat for, really tasty and nice

Lovely experience, attentive and professional staff.

Дякуємо за смачну їжу! Українцям англійське громадське харчування не зовсім зрозуміле. Сьогодні я отримала задоволення від різноманітності асортименту, якості смаку, подачі і організації декорування страв, що не типово в Англії. Дякуємо!

Lovely starters, mains and puddings. The staff were helpful, speedy and friendly. Couldn’t ask for any more and the price is good too. 5 stars.

@PizzaExpress Whilst visiting your Dorchester restaurant on holiday 5/10 I left my 4yo fav umbrella there, I contacted your team and they said they could send it, I paid and arranged an Evri drop off and despite several emails still waiting! #verysadgirl #badservice #disappointed

Very good pizzas and Al forno dough balls! Veronica provided a really good service! I'm definitely coming back...!

Me and my partner ate here for the first time this evening, we had the chicken wings for starters , (very tasty and hot) I especially liked the sauce that came with them, my partner had the carbonara for mains and I had an American pizza , both were delicious, we then had tiramisu and sticky toffee pudding for dessert, which finished our lovely meal out , big thanks to Veronica who was our waitress we will definitely be returning.

Friendly staff, very accommodating. Delicious food 🍕

Relaxed Sunday evening dinner! Great food, and generous portions! Childrens menu had plenty of choice too! Service was great, Veronica was very attentive and friendly (as were all of the staff) We will definitely be back!

Lovely service, delicious pizza

I've been to Pizza Express many times before but never in Dorchester! I do have some dietary needs but I needn't had worried as can be seen below. I was there with my brother and daughter, and we probably stayed a bit too long! But then they did give us an awful lot to eat! I had chicken that was moist, very tasty and beautifully cooked with mixed green salad which was like it had been freshly picked, washed and put on the plate. It should have been Chicken Caesar salad but without all the added stuff. Well, I think I got the better deal! My guests got desserts too but I just settled for earl grey tea and and evening well spent!
