Pizza Express in Camden

Angelika and Karina were very good

I used to go to this Pizza Express 30 years ago when I worked around the corner. The food is still great, the atmosphere is still warm and the bill is still reasonable. A lovely trip down memory lane to a place that has no reason to change.

Thanks Beck and Waitress for attentive service ! Favourite pizza express within the WC1 area when I have to chose from Holborn, Euston or covent garden ones. A haven away from the tourists and the pizza food is always made with care and just looks and tastes great. The staff don't seem rushed off of their feet.always leave here content

Macro and Beck provide really good services. Near to British Museum.

Really quaint and beautifully decorated hideaway of the classic chain just a stone’s throw from the British Museum. We were seated, served and looked after brilliantly on the clock to get to a show and the food was just as great as you’d hope for. The kids were also treated brilliantly and had a great time. Our waiter Giuseppe was wonderful - thank you!

Great place :-) have been coming here for years

Angelina was an amazing waitress - could not have asked for more help - really enhanced the dining experience

I wanted to wait a few days before posting this to make sure i was a little level headed. the event happened on the 28.03.2024. My parents are visiting me from Australia. We went to the British Museum and wanted a place to have some lunch. The services was reasonable and as was the food. At the end of our meal a different server came over to make us pay for our bill. When my father was about to go pay - she asked very loudly DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE A TIP. It was clearly done in a manner so that the customer would feel obligated to pay. I took the pay machine from my father and pressed the no button. Its a pizza express and generally you don't tip in Australia or London. Had it been a fine dining experience or a local restaurant - of course we would have tipped. And generally in those situations a 12.5% service charge is added to the bill. Upon seeing that i had pressed no, the server proceeded to yell at my father - saying that we should have paid for the service. And how dare we not tip. My father not wanting to offend anyone an- went over to her and tried to apologise and give her some money from his wallet.Of course he only had Australian dollars- so she declined the gesture I'm sorry this is unacceptable. Its a pizza express and we paid £75!!!! for the meal for 3 people. I would honestly ask people to reconsider going here. and would NOT recommend this venue. You should not be shaming paying customers to leaving tips. In fact if you feel that you really require tips to be making a sufficient income from your shift - you should be questioning the franchise and demanding they pay their staff more.

Amazing and very friendly staff every time I visit that particular pizzeria and wonderful service from manager Beck❤️

Great place, its cheap between 6 friends we eat 2 pizzas and gor full, the service was great and fast the attention ecelent as well really clean , the food was delicious.

The terrible treatment, for what we ate, very expensive and when it came to paying the waitress demanded a tip in bad manners, don't go!!!

Basic service, very slow, the manager didn't even look at us, it was the pizza man who served us at the entrance to sit down to eat. After seeing the prices on the menu and looking at the photos on Google Maps, we saw that it was very expensive for the amount listed, we got two pizzas and a drink only. We were left hungry with super fine dough. I do not recommend it and of course I will not return and I still have days left in London....

Met up with friends for lunch after a trip to the British Museum at this my favourite Pizza Express restaurant. The food was great and the service was excellent. Always on my radar when I’m in this area.

We wanted a restaurant close to the British Museum and this Pizza Express was perfect. We travelled into central london on the Elizabeth Line, this restaurant is only about a 5 minute walk from Tottenham Court Road station. The restaurant itself is a really interesting building as you can see from the pictures. We had the Pandana and Funghi pizzas, we enjoyed these. I had read comments on the staff, we found them all to be polite and efficient which is all we wanted. Overall an excellent location for eating before or after a visit to the British Museum (just a short walk away) and also not far from theatre land.

Always great pizza at pizza express — sad they seemed to have discontinued the vegan American one, but enjoyed the vegan one I did have. Didn’t feel rushed at all, and service was efficient.

Speedy service, good food - just what I'd expect from Pizza Express.

What a fantastic place. We were visiting with 44 children and 9 adults. The staff were amazing the food was so prompt and delicious all the children are masters at rating and gave them a 5 star!! Very satisfied. Waiting on staff and chefs a massive thank you for making our children’s experience memorable!!

Good and efficiently provided anglo-italian staples. Staff manage to serve effectively despite the demands of a sometimes noisy and tightly packed restaurant area. I've been visiting regularly for more than 20 years. Relatively busy on a February Monday evening. I still lament the demise of tomato juice with Worcestershire sauce. Portion sizes have shrunk slightly, in inverse proportion to price increases.

Arrived without booking. Shown a grotty table: queried empty better tables. Told they were for people who'd booked. I asked whether they had specifically requested THAT table. No they always give best tables to people who book. We left.

Do not fall for Romana scam - encouraged to swap usual base for £17 Romana - pizza had barely any topping on it at all perhaps a teaspoon of shredded cheese bone dry and some tough bits of pepperoni - very oily and unable to be cut - how do you cut through a cracker dry tortilla with a butter knife? Had to leave half on the plate. Charging a fiver extra for a pizza like this is such a scam - AVOID.

Stumbled upon Pizza Express near the British Museum on a Saturday afternoon. The friendly staff and great food made our unplanned visit memorable. Highly recommend!

Good place, good pizza. Thank you Amreeta for good service 🌺🌺🌺

The staff was amazing and very helpful with recommendations for the order. Service was very good and quick. Definitely would visit again.

Regrettable. We went to eat, the waitress treated us terribly, very rudely. The price of the pizzas they have charged us 2 pounds more per pizza and at the end of the ticket almost 12 pounds for service. I do not recommend it, I certainly will not return.

The first Pizza Express I ever went to and still one of the best. A nice retreat after any visit to the BM.

A good option for a good pizza. Friendly service, very convenient if you are staying at the Radisson Kenilworth.

Good pizza at 50% off...very expensive at full price.

delicious pizza, great service, very comfortable

Excellent service from Maria, I was very happy to celebrate my birthday at Pizza express. Thank you

Incredibly friendly despite being very busy. Lovely pizza.

Good food, good cocktails, good service😊

We visited when on a day trip to London. Its a small location for a Pizza Express but a nice indoor setting. The outdoor looked shocking, including an old sofa that someone had dumped there.... We ordered 3 pizzas, all decent quality, happy. The waiter was pretty average and customer service shocking, needs to smile to start with and be more customer focused. I paid the bill and went to the toilet, in between the waiter stated to my wife that a service charge was not included in the bill.... the absolute cheek that any waiter in all my years of visiting many restaurants could state this. Anyway, he didn't get a tip, hopefully he will read this or someone at said establishment will, my tip - provide a decent service with a smile and you might get a tip. Read up on providing a customer with decent service and experience. Shocking.

I ate here and I had a pizza which was very good. However, while I was at the toilet a waitress, a man in his 40s, served me a rucola salad which I didn't order. I thought it would go with my pizza. After having received the receipt I realised it was added to the bill, 4£, the salad had only rucola and balsamico on it. Pay attention folks. I should have said at the beginning that I didn't order it however I feel deceived.

Having booked a table for 6 people for a "quick bite" before the theatre I thought 2 hours would be plenty of time. On arrival our order was taken promptly and the starters arrived quickly. After 45 minutes of waiting for our pizzas I asked the waitress and was told there was only 1 chef, as the other had called in sick. I waited another 10 minutes before enquiring with the manger to be told they would be going in the oven in 5 minutes. Again I was told me he only and one chef and a full restaurant (it wasn't full). Some 20 minutes later the pizzas finally arrived. They were all over cooked. Due to now running short on time we ate then, had we not now been in a rush they would have been sent back. I then asked for the bill and suggested a reduction should be applied due to the long wait and poor food. 15 minutes later, after going to get some more takeaway boxes from the back, that was clearly more important, the manger grudgingly applied a small discount and presented the bill. I have never run a restaurant, however, I should think if you know you are a chef down you would take steps to reduce the pressure on the kitchen so your customers aren't waiting over an hour for their pizzas. This could be done by stop taking takeaway orders (which seemed to take priority) or not taking walk in tables, or both! At the very least you should warn customers when they arrive there maybe a delay so they can go else where. Having arrived at bang on 5pm as booked we eventually left at 7 having had 2 courses. I should add that both the manger and the waitress couldn't have been more miserable and dismissive if they had tried. Maybe time for a change of job if you really hate it that much.

Nous sommes rentrés au restaurant, nous étions 3 Il y avait pas mal de place, je décide donc de saluer un serveur (le chauve) afin de lui demander si on pouvait s’assoir. Celui ci ne répond pas à mon bonjour mais Il me répond d’un ton sec et énervé que non il fallait attendre, qu'il était seul aujourd’hui, puis il me regarde et soupir Je lui dis que nous allons attendre. Une serveuse vient vers nous au bout de quelques minutes, nous demande nous sommes combien on lui dit 3 et elle nous répond que ce n’est pas possible qu’il faut attendre. Je ne peux pas juger la nourriture mais par contre l’accueil c’est zéro !

I stepped in to an empty restaurant, aside from 2 families dining opposite sides of the room. They say me but I quickly requested to move so the spotlights weren’t in my eyes, yet every table was reserved. 3 groups of guests were turned away the 45 minutes I finished my meal and glass of wine, but no reservations arrived. The kitchen staff, including manager, could be heard scoffing and complaining about customers at the front of house. The pizza wasn’t cut when it arrived. I had to request it cut. Thankfully the saving grace was my waitress who was incredibly attentive and polite. The food wasn’t terrible but the overall atmosphere felt unpleasant and poorly managed.

Fairly standard Pizza Express branch, on the smaller side. Not too busy, pretty, tiled interior. Nice staff, standard food.

Visited pizza express in Holborn on the 7th December and the service received was amazing! Staff were super friendly and accommodating and made me and my team feel welcome from the moment we entered. Thanks ever so much and we will definitely be back!

We dined here after seeing a matinee performance at the nearby Doninion theatre. We walked straight in, seated quickly and the two waitresses Angelika and Ruta were FABULOUS. Our food was absolutely delicious. Delivered quickly and it was really lovely and hot. We would 100% recommend. The chefs were also really happy and friendly. The best Pizza Express we’ve been to. Thank you so much.

Muy bien. En pleno centro de Londres. Pizzería maja.

Refuses to serve us as they had a large party in

We came as couple and The lady with glasses waiting our table made our experience so much better aswell !!! She was lovely . Her service was immaculate and soo polite . The food also came very quickly and was very tasty . I will definitely be coming back !!! thank you .

Really lovely restaurant. The only reason I gave 4 stars for food is because I am used to deeper pizza bases.

We celebrated a birthday as a big group and the staff were very accommodating. Great food and service, only thing would be to allow us to pay for individual items on the app instead of splitting the bill equally but that’s an issue for upper management and not this particular restaurant!

Nice and quiet and the staff is quite friendly

I had a regrettable dining experience at this restaurant primarily due to the demeanor of the older waitress. Upon entering with our party of five, we greeted the waiter, who failed to reciprocate the greeting. When we indicated the size of our group, there was no acknowledgment, and the waiter simply walked to a table and didn’t say anything. Throughout our entire dining experience, the older waitress communicated in a notably indifferent and unresponsive manner. There was a complete absence of warmth or even a hint of a smile. The lack of engagement and communication significantly impacted our overall enjoyment. It felt as if we were being deliberately ignored, making the entire dining experience less enjoyable. However, it's important to note that the food, especially the pizza, was exceptionally delicious. The younger lady , provided the kind of service one would expect from a waiter – friendly and accommodating. Our visit took place on November 19th at 3:00 PM. Despite the taste of the food being a highlight, the overall experience was marred by the unhelpful and unfriendly demeanor of the older waitress. An improvement in the consistency of service across all staff members would greatly enhance the dining experience.

One very rude older lady waiter (named Maria). It seems it’s her personal mission to make the guests feel unwelcome. All the other staff seemed very friendly and helpfull. Two stars because although she (Maria) ruined our mood, the pizza was delicious.

I recently visited pizzaexpress and had a delightful pizza experience. The pizza was so delicious that I ended up ordering a second one. However, I must mention that I didn't feel welcomed by the older lady (with glasses) who took my order. There was no smile on her face, and when I asked her a question, she gave me a rather unpleasant look. Her strange behavior and lack of hospitality made me seriously consider leaving without enjoying the pizza. But I decided to give the pizza chef a chance, and once again, the pizza was absolutely delicious! Despite the initial encounter, I have to give credit to the younger lady who served us. She was incredibly friendly and cheerful, which helped improve the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. The pizza itself was outstanding. The crust was perfectly crispy, and the toppings were flavorful and fresh. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and it was clear that the pizza had been prepared with care and attention to detail. I couldn't have asked for a better taste. While the older lady's behavior left a negative impression, the delicious pizza and the great service provided by the younger lady made up for it to some extent. It would be great if the restaurant could address the issue of customer service consistency to ensure all guests feel equally welcomed. Overall, despite the mixed customer service experience, I would still recommend pizzeexpress for their mouthwatering pizza. Just be prepared for a potential difference in the demeanor of the staff. The pizza alone is worth a visit! The pizza chef is great

Living in Bloomsbury, this is one of the earliest branches of Pizza Express and is easily my favourite. It is hidden away a stone's throw from the main entrance to the British Museum. Occupying a former dairy, even the chandeliers are made from milk bottles. The staff are friendly and efficient and the pizzas always well made and fresh from the oven.Today's visit was made more enjoyable thanks to the helpful and attentive service from Angelika and Rute. My companion and I were there for most of a pleasant and unhurried afternoon.

The restaurant was really sweet and the food delicious. The service was charming and thoughtful so we had a very pleasant afternoon chatting and eating. Just loved the dough balls.

It was a wonderful experience! Staff was extremely attentive and friendly! Marco and Amreeta made sure we had a great experience. We will definitely go back.

Fantastic experience! A brilliant start to the weekend. Big thanks to Giuseppe the friendly handsome Italian waiter. Amreeta the manager was lovely too

La migliore pizza italiana a Londra. Roberto Giuseppe e Marco sono gentilissimi

This is the best place with the best waitresses. Tonight Angelika - surely employee of the month?

Best time ever with fantastic server Angelina

A good old chain, serving pizzas of the pre-sourdough era, which I am pleased about! A side street location, good for West End theatres.

I stopped by for a quick late meal. Staff were attentive and friendly. Service was quick. Food was tasty.

This pizza place is SO good! The pizza, garlic bread and the garlic knots are amazing!

November 3-án jártunk ott. Pizzát ettünk. Nagyon finomak voltak a pizzák. A kiszolgálás is tökéletes volt!

Absolutely shocked at how much I enjoyed this place. Greeted at the door, great atmosphere and fantastic pizza. I Have never been to Pizza Express before. Glad we went in. The pizza guy was very kind and polite.

La mejor pizzería de Londres con diferente! Muy recomendable todo. Nos pedimos una bruschetta, una pizza y una pizza dulce y fue lo mejor😍🤩🤩🤩

Fishy and dodgy. They email you with a great offer and then wont give it to older people who can't use their app. Very dodgy.

Quite a small pizza express but they got really busy. Service was efficient and food was fresh and hot.

Absolutely shocked at how much I enjoyed this place. Greeted at the door, great atmosphere and most importantly fantastic pizza. Have never been to Pizza Express before. Glad we went in.

Valéria was great , very fast Services and good pizza and ambiance!!

Thank you to Angelica! You were amazing! Our girls and us had an amazing time ♥️💯

Food was really lovely and we had the most service from Angelika. She was patient and very attentive to our big group of 5 kids and 2 adults and we can’t praise her enough.

Friendly and kind. Took us breaking a wine glass totally in their stride despite mess. Appreciated

I'm a big lover of pizza express, but today it did not made my day. We had a warm welcome from a gentleman but an unwelcoming attitude from waitress. Her expression were very rude and uncomfortable, I convinced myself that she might had a tiring day but to our shock she showed a smiling face and gentle welcome to a white lady next to our table. The food tasted a bit normal and here is the first we did not finish our food in pizza express restaurants. I would recommend to improve the servicing experience here.

Atmosphere was non existent. Waitress was very miserable. Food was ok.

At Pizza Express, while the pizza is ok, it's the appetizers that truly shine. They bring an extra level of texture that the pizzas miss

Restaurant was very busy but we managed to enjoy our food, we received a lovely service by our waitress Ruta, definitely coming back again, but we will make sure to make a reservation upfront next time!

Visited Coptic street Pizza express yesterday before my trip to the theatre and I must say they were extremely busy and there was quite a bit of wait for food. But the service and quality of food was amazing. 10/10!

Not to busy, but the food was delicious!

Der Wunsch nach einer Pizza ohne Knoblauch konnte nicht erfüllt werden.

Cuisine décevante pas de goût et très chère. Très petite quantité. Je suis allée à côté du british muséum

In true Pizza Express style, there are hints in the decor (I particularly like the lights) to the building's past: an old dairy. The food (standard Pizza Express fare) was good, but I don't think the staff wanted to be there. Sunday evening, and it was half empty, though when booking a table online, there was hardly any availability: perhaps the booking system needs updating. Also, though we had booked (for 5 people) and arrived at the appointed time, tables still had to be moved upon our arrival. But no harm done. There is also some outside seating, which is a bonus, and I cannot fault the location.

Dough balls came with delicious butter. The gluten free pizza was sweet and there wasn't salt available on any of the tables.

It was a standard franchise pizza place, nothing special to offer. Better than those god awful pizza hut of dominos joints tho. You're still better off checking out your local Italian pizza diner.

Perhaps the saddest pizzeria you can find in Central London. The decor was nothing short of mediocre and the customer service was slow. Unless you are in the mood to get more depressed, don’t go here. The pizza was not so good either, we had to wait for 30 minutes to get our dessert served.

Great restaurant ! Amazing emplacement

Muy bien y tienen pizza sin gluten

The staff is so rude and arrogant though the food is good. The attitude of staff spoiled our lunch. Will never go back to this place.

Perfect for a quik snack it's so fast not expensive and kind people. Plus free salad amazing.

Thank you so much to the lovely staff for looking after us so well, especially Ruta - brilliant customer service, delicious food, attentive staff (but not too much!), not too busy and great vegan options - I'm looking forward to our next visit already.

i was at coptic street pizza express last week and the food and service was amazing would 100% recommend!! special shout-out to our waitress ruta she was so lovely and made sure our experience was amazing!!

My friend and I popped in after a comedy show and we were looked after Ruta. She was very friendly and attentive. Our food was delicious and the vibe was chilled as we ate and chatted away. Ruta was also very kind enough to give us little pots of roquita peppers to take away as we said we love the flavours. I will be coming back to this branch for sure!

Prompt service. Fantastic food. Great with our group of children. Highly recommended.

1 out of 3 waitress gave a smile. Others were rude. The quality and the size of the pizza, are not worth the money they are asking. Almost 4 pounds for a small bottle of WARM coke. One small ice cube on a glass melted quite rapidly. Atmosphere seemed to be ok, but I simply cannot find any reason to come back.

Great pizza, fun desserts and fast service

Had a lovely lunch at pizza express. Atmosphere and service was great. Also loved my waitress Ruta and I would love to come back soon and get some great food.

What a lovely restaurant with such an amazing variety of food and friendly staff. Me and my colleagues visited for the first time and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for making us feel so welcome during our visit!

in germany we say: vallah die lasagne hat nicht geschmeckt inpolite, badly organized and food of bad quality. Definitly not going to visit this place again. The food wasn‘t even enough.

bad service. No Aschbach Uralt innit

Unorganisiertes Restaurant, unfreundliches und hektisches Personal. Das Essen war okay, jedoch hat man gesehen, wie das tiramisu aufgetaut wurde. Außerdem werden die Gäste nicht wirklich danach gefragt, was sie essen wollen.

unfreundliches Personal, unstrukturiert, Essen in Ordnung aber zu wenig, wurden nicht satt

service was extrem stressed because we came in a big group. The food was OK

If you are from the states, this chain is a nice pit stop.

Non sarà la vera pizza italiana ma oltre a essere gentili sono aperti sino a tardi e puoi pagare cash o con carta. Insomma, una rarità!!!!

Buena opción para comer pizza sin gluten, al tener la cocina abierta ves donde preparan la comida, ya que al verlo podría haber algún tipo de contaminación, pero ya vi que la hacían a parte. La pizza está buena y te la sirven bastante rápido. El local está muy chulo en un edificio antiguo y el personal muy atento.
