But The pizza was extremely burnt and I threw it away. This is the last time I order. The dough was not cooked well the other day. Now it is extremely burnt. It is a disgrace.

The service was really bad had to wait quite a long to be seated even tho there was quite a few seats available. Even after seating the waiters took a while to come and take the order. Also, the mac and cheese was over cooked and wasn’t good and we reported it and the staff didn’t seem to care much about it. Even after the food was done no one was coming to bring the bill and I had to explicitly get their attention multiple times. Overall I thought the food and service was poor

Me and my partner came with our little boy for an early evening meal. Fantastic from start to finish, the restaurant was quite busy but our drink order was taken and brought over quickly. Again for food. The staff were amazing with our little boy who was interacting with his animals with them, even though they were busy our lovely server and other staff passing stopped to talk to him and name his animals with him- which was above and beyond in our experience. All our food was incredible and our son who can be a picky eater ate nearly all his pasta and meant me and my partner could finish our meal whilst still hot! 10/10 experience for us and we will be back soon! Wish I would have got our servers name because he was a credit to pizza express!! Tall, brown haired guy with a blue shirt if he sees this- Thankyou! He also took our child’s meal off the bill as there was a kids eat free deal on (that we were unaware of) which was a nice bonus! We usually go to the giltbrook pizza express and first time trying this one but Will definitely return to this pizza express! As we always say “it’s like being on holiday in here” and it certainly was!

Popped in for lunch. It was half term and the whole site was busy. Even at 12pm the restaurant was struggling to find tables. They accommodated us after a short wait. Ordered drinks which came out swiftly and once the order was taken dough balls soon followed. Mains came out quickly and were hot and delicious. Not mine but I had a salad so that’s great! Tuna nicoise was packed with ingredients and very filling. Puddings also delicious and a great treat. Louis was a great host, very charming and funny. Friendly staff all round and a great welcome

Today we decided to call into Pizza Express at the shopping outlet DE55. What a breath of fresh air was our waiter Louis. He welcomed us , promptly took our drinks order, and allowed enough time for us to make our selection of food, from the extensive menu. He was very helpful and made us very comfortable. Noticing we were trying to take a photo, he offered his help.Louie politely checked if all was good with our food selection, and he noted when we had finished the very tasty salads and pizza and cleared away efficiently. It was such a lovely lunch experience and Louie's showed dedication and enthusiasm of how to offer excellent customer service. This did not go unnoticed by two very greatful senior ladies.

It’s difficult to post into words the absolute disappointment you provided in a box when you delivered my pizza. I am trying to comprehend how it could have arrived looking as it did, was it fired out of a blunderbuss into the box? Besides the absolute horror show of a pizza you provided, it was cold, chewy and you hadn’t even bothered to slice it properly. I imagine someone in the kitchen worked hard to prepare, cook and check this, having endured dozens of hours of training for some genius delivery driver to presumably shove this sideways somewhere on the way to me. This also cost about five times the price of the alternative you sell in supermarkets, not worth it all. Avoid at all costs.

Pizzas were delivered folded and rolled into corner of the box. Lifting them from the box left most of the topping stuck to the box.

We pre- booked a table for 4 of us, and we were seated fairly quickly with a pleasant welcoming. The young waiter kept asking if we were ready to order, but we didn't mind, but we didn't understand why because it wasn't busy late in the evening. I guess that they might want to finish promptly. However, it was a nice meal without anything to complain about, and we were looked after with a smile 😃 definitely recommend this venue, so check it out, and I'll look out for new reviews, just to see weather you agree with me.

well, it looked like the pizza box had been dropped on its edge as the topping was in a heap at one end of the box and not on the pizza. first time I've ordered, and also the last. Truckers deliver your ingredients to make these things. Is it too much to ask to have the finished goods delivered in good condition to us?

We went for some lunch as the food court was closed, the restaurant was busy but we were seated within 5 minutes. Our order was taken shortly after, there was two staff members waiting, two chefs with one manager. They were trying their best but were clearly understaffed, i felt sorry for them because it was like they are working for 10 people. Our order took quite long to make, the pizza tasted nice but the prawn pasta was a disappointment, it was cold and tasted stale. Pizza express if you are going to serve frozen pasta baked in the oven please take it off the menu, we can get the same from iceland for £1. The manager on site named James was kind enough to take the pasta off the bill as we could not eat it. Thank you James for excellent customer service. I feel that its not the staff’s fault that this place has so many bad reviews, the management above needs to hire more people during busy periods at least.

We visited late Saturday evening so not exactly buzzing with people. Food was great and catered well for the cloeiac and vegan I was dining with. I tried the dough balls from both GF and vegan and they didn't taste any different and as a muggle I'd be more than happy to eat them. Certainly worth a visit. I had the spicy calzone which was amazing, GF smokey BBQ pizza which also went down very well and the vegan Margherita didn't disappoint. If you are at the Outlet it's certainly a better experience than the other options, bar the waggas.

There is a really good vibe here, which is created by the young team. Unfortunately, the caps the chefs were wearing weren't covering the entirety of their hair. There were three hairs on my plate. Once I saw them, I couldn't eat my pizza and it put my friend off their pizza too. The server was very pleasant about it and I did not have to pay for my pizza.

Having called in to eat we were surprised to be told that there was no tables available even though there were lots of empty ones. We dutifully agreed to call back in 30 mins and booked a table. When we returned the place had cleared considerably and we were shown to a table. We asked for the table number so that we could update the app of our visit but the duty manager didn’t know as it wasn’t her store. She was obviously filling in for an absent manager. We waited for 25 minutes for someone to at least take a drink order but no one came. There were a stream of diners arrive and seated and all got their orders taken before us. The site was woefully understaffed both on the floor and in the kitchen. My wife noticed that the manager even started to help the cooks as he was under too much pressure. Eventually we gave and left…hungry and disappointed. There is no wonder that business’ fail due to miss-management and understaffing.

Poor experience, kitchen got my order wrong twice but instead of being courteous about it I could overhear one of the Cooks (I believe his name was Kyle) arguing with the waiting on staff about it and then proceeded to glare at me from the kitchen. My order was incorrect, it wasn't personal in any way however, the pizza I received to begin with was lukewarm at best and dry, when your paying over £10 a pizza you expect it to be hot at the very least. To be fair to the waiting on staff and manager, they were great and their customer service was excellent and they did try to make it right but by that point I was fed up. If you're going to have an open kitchen at least have the kitchen staff concentrate on the task at hand and instead not try to intimidate or belittle customers (which I then overheard later on). As someone who visits regularly with family and are all Gold Members, we will all be giving it a wide berth for the interim.

If you intend on spending three and a half hours to eat a pizza and a dessert, this place is for you. For everyone else however, it is not. This place has the least engaged and slowest staff I have experienced in a long time! At the time of writing, I've finished eating and have been waiting an hour for someone to ask to pay for the food. They have had a full staff change over whilst we have been here, if we had got up and walked out without paying I don't believe anyone would have noticed

hi I was unable to get seated as the lady refused to serve me , and said I should wait as she was busy chatting to a customer who was seated and eating her food . She was extremely rude towards me and I can only assume it was because I was of Indian nationality . The restaurant was quiet with only 2 customers . No greetings at all when i entered the premises . I said hello , to which the response was , I am busy . I would normally expect a welcoming and warm greeting from a waitress , but this was cold and unwelcoming .

Came to Pizza Express for a bite to eat after some time hitting the shops. We must say, Lucy is the most caring and down to earth waitress we have ever been greeted by. She elevated the experience by being so bubbly and chatty which was great to see. The service provided right from walking through the front door was impeccable and Lucy is an absolute credit to the company. The food was very nice, explained well and presented equally as good. We had such a great time and will definitely be back and really hope Lucy is serving and greeting us on our next visit 😁
