Pizza Express in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Great thin pizza with a killer view.

Disaster!! Popped into our favourite Pizza Express to find that the brilliant Calabrese Pizza has been dropped from the new menu. What a daft thing to do! Oh well, time to find a new Pizza restaurant.

Good location, good waitress, there it stops!!! Service very slow. We ordered a Lasagne each. Well, we were able to watch the so called preparation. It was pre packed in a plastic container, turned out on a plate and stuck under the pizza grill. The quality was poor. It looked like it was out of a cheap supermarket. 2 pieces of lasagne, top piece burnt, meat content negligible tomatoes tasteless, Parmesan cheese non existent. If this is what you get from this company, would not bother to go to another one.

Absolutely brilliant! Enjoying the food and the seaview with enthusiastic service Very good restaurant 👍 makes me spin

I have not eaten at a Pizza Express for best part of a decade but family suggested here as they were offering kids eat free deal and we had two kids with us. - the Pizza Express app did offer free dough balls and free dessert which we were able to use. - it is easy to split the bill and pay using the app. - the service was VERY slow. They must have been short staffed. We had to keep catching servers as they rushed past. - the pizza was ok but not particularly nice considering it was made fresh. - dough balls again were just ok. - the table smelt like it had been cleaned with an unclean cloth. - restaurant had lots of families dining and so was noisy and lots of screaming. Fine if you have kids but not the time to visit if looking for a peaceful meal. I will not return to Pizza Express for another decade as nothing has improved based on this experience.

Very rude staff. Patronisinig, very upsetting

Pizza gorgeous as always but the prize is going up slightly beyond what I'm happy paying for pizza and the service was a little stuttery and slow

Take away pizza is much smaller than the one inside but same price...

Lasagne for £14 was worse than a cheap microwave lasagne from a main store. No meat and lots of liquid - no substance. Coleslaw was a spoonful of grated carrot for £5.95 (total rip off - avoid). I am sure pizzas are good - and service was friendly and great.

We went for the Prawn Pepperonata which they state has a "pinch" of chilli flakes .... what they didn't state was that the chili 🌶️ strength was so hot that it burned your mouth! 7 prawns were found and they looked like shrimps. Totally ruined our visit and needless to say we won't be going back there again .... overpriced meal which was horrible! Obviously not a big issue for them, but seriously it could have been a medical emergency for someone else 🤔

Not a great experience. Very slow service. Staff did the minimum with little or no conversation when serving us and did not happy in their work. Waiter Ben did engage, however, and was very nice. Waited a long time to be served initially and far too long between courses, noticeably similar with other customers. Despite being told they were full there were many empty tables. Food was very average and the thin’n’ crispy was steamrollered - see pic. Restrooms were dirty and in need of maintenance. A disappointing experience at a restaurant in a prime location in Falmouth marina.

Popped in at 2:30pm for some lunch (3 of us.) Someone came over and asked if we had a reservation. When i replied no i was told they couldn’t fit is in and there would be at least 45 min before they could. Over 2/3 of the restaurant was empty. The staff are turning away custom when there are clearly tables available. As a local it really pissed me off!

Dire - all round very poor - poor service, dirty cutlery, forgotten items, poor food, overpriced. Asked to sit at a table view nice view told couldn't as table was dirty. Shown to another table in a really busy part of the restaurant so asked to move again- then moved. Gluten free pizza base was virtually raw. Cannelloni was more like soup - swimming in bechamel sauce. Couldn't wait to leave.

Great service, tasty food and beautiful views

Food was delicious and waiting staff who brought our food were great but the waiter who greeted us was extremely rude, unfriendly and sarcastic. We have been eating at this pizza express for many years but unfortunately this bad experience has made us think twice. What a shame thr good pizza express name has been tarnished by this individual

Ordered two of the the too good to go bags. Feel totally conned as both contained two portions of dough balls and a piece of garlic bread. Will not be doing this again.

By far one of the best Pizza Expresses I’ve ever been to! The views are amazing and the food absolutely delicious! Ellie is a fantastic server, she really made us feel welcome and took great care of us.

After being seated, we waited for 20 minutes to be served, but nobody returned for an order. The restaurant was too hot to wait for longer that this. Now having a good time at The Packet Station.

Food was okay (service was excellent waitress clear ) she was amazing thank you for the night. It was lovely to meet you and a lovely service. Hope to see you next time.

We tried the “ too good to go” app, being on a low income we looked forward to our treat, I packed 2 picnic plates with a plan for a romantic meal, I do understand that after paying £4.75 it was a gamble as to what we would get in our surprise bag, but it could Include starters, mains, desserts, an assortment…. We sat so excited, having driven into Falmouth and were very hungry, well we opened our boxes, 2 identical boxes of dough balls, 2 pots garlic butter & a small bread, undercooked with a lump of garlic on the top, we might not have a lot of money, we wanted to save landfill but we didn’t deserve that. I would definitely Not have paid that much for dough & garlic!! Will give it some serious thought before we return. A very sad Laura & Andy

Grabbed lunch at this Pizza Express on a day trip to Falmouth. I’ve been previously and had a good experience so figured I would go back. We ate around 3pm on a Wednesday afternoon so as you can imagine the place wasn’t too busy. We opted to sit outside as the sun was shining and so we could enjoy the view of the harbour which never fails to impress. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, though our waitress truly went above and beyond. I didn’t catch her name but she was so lovely and stopped to chat at our table. We ordered a portion of garlic dough balls to share, which the waitress very kindly told us that if we were to download the app, it would allow us to receive them for free due to a promotion on there. I appreciated this immensely. I ordered the margherita pizza on a romano base which was incredible. Pizza Express pizza’s are never a let down so there was no surprise there. My partner couldn’t decide between a pizza or a pasta, to which the waitress helped make a decision. Recommending which she felt was the best. Settling on the smoky bbq chicken pizza, which he also commented was amazing. In total we spent £41.75, including a £5 tip, which I believe is a very reasonable price for the service and quality of food we received. The atmosphere, the views and the staff are all fabulous and I would highly recommend to anybody visiting Falmouth. Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos of the food, however I did, if course, have to take one of the view.

Beautiful view and good service but the food is not it. My calzone was cold inside from the moment it arrived at the table. It tasted okay but the temperature ruined it for me. They do have a full vegan menu if you’re vegan but you can get better food anywhere else.

Super nice staff. And tasty pizzas.

Lovely location, excellent service and good food

Very nice staff the food was the best , much better than domino's 10/10

We went here at lunchtime on a weekday, plenty of space and lovely view over Falmouth Harbour.

Must win best view Pizza Express as in a lovely position overlooking the harbour! We had a good time and a great meal whilst watching the boats in Falmouth harbour. Our waitress was really nice and pizzas were piping hot and delivered quickly. We had booked a table and glad we did as it was a busy Saturday night. Finished off with warm chocolate fudge cake and ice cream and a great night was had by all

Would normally have great pizza, however I was disappointed tonight. There was a long delay before receiving our pizzas which I don't mind. However, the pizzas were cold when finally served. Clearly they were forgotten about and allowed to stand and cool. Such a shame as the staff were lovely.

We had a fabulous meal while watching the sun set over the harbour. No hassle using the lift for my father in law who require use of mobility aids. Service was great, our waiter Sam was happy, polite and attentive. Even came to check on those using the lift, pointed us in the direction of our table and checked there was room for the mobility walker. Can highly recommend this as a great place to eat and enjoy the view.

We ordered 2 large pizzas on the reward and enjoyed a very quick service

Been here every year for 14 years, but this time was a bit average: setting is stunning, but service and food was not at its previous high standard.

VERY disappointing visit for lunch today with family staying with us for Easter. Not only was there a delay on receiving our food (which I didn't understand as there were only around 5/6 tables being used), as an NHS worker, I was pleased to see that I could use my Blue Light Card to save my family 20% off their meal. When it came to pay, I was told I had to show the QR code on the app and that showing my valid card was not enough. The waitress was very dismissive and to be honest couldn't have cared less. Won't be visiting again in a hurry.

I've never felt more rich eating from a Pizza restaurant in my whole life. I was eating Breadballs and I felt like King Louie the 16th

Plenty of free empty tables loads of staff but they apparently “fully booked”. Still hours to wait for people to arrive but they refused letting 2 young children to have a meal. It’s a first time we are visiting this place and how unwelcoming this place is. Im Particularly “grateful” to a young blond lady at reception for being so blunt and not understanding. Don’t recommend. Enjoy your food guys

Always amazing! And we love the view here

Genuinely vile! Ordered food through Uber, took an hour to arrive, when it did it was awful… the pizza was cold, soggy and uncut, doughballs were also soggy. Very overpriced, if you want good pizza and sides I would recommend Pizza Jocky in Falmouth. Pizza express, actual disappointment. Definitely will not be ordering again, what a huge waste of money

Average place. It's OK at best, the food isn't the best but its not bad

Quiet on a March Monday evening. Service very good and pizzas that my partner and I had were very tasty.

Can not complain about the food or staff as we always have a lovely meal and we are made to feel welcome. The toilets on the hand are terrible. All 3 cubicles need a drastic overhaul. The toilets all have flushing issues, the tap fittings are hanging off, paint work is chipped and peeling and they are generally very dirty.

Came for dinner, excellent! The food was superb, our server engaging & efficient. Delightful environment and food! Will be back.

Very nice atmosphere and helpful staff

Very easy to choose and order, and prompt replies on website/email. When we went to collect we had at least three members of staff instantly looking after us and helping collect the order. Great service - well done, Falmouth 👏😊

Delicious pizza and fast service.

Went here for my daughters birthday meal. It was 40 minutes before we’d even got our drinks order taken, even after asking if we can order. Restaurant was only half full, not busy at all. Barely saw the staff and had to keep asking for things e.g. pepper and cheese (normally I’m sure this is offered when your meal arrives). Didn’t feel like we were attended to at all and constantly searching for the staff to help us. All in all it took 3 hours to have starters and mains, we booked for 6pm and didn’t leave till 9pm! Won’t be returning to this pizza express even though the food was good when it finally arrived!

Absolutely fantastic service. Really understanding of allergies and autism. Super friendly staff, really kind and welcoming. Lovely food and lots of choice. Can't wait to go back soon

Great service. Great food. Nice harbour location.

Held a party here recently and it was great. There could have been a little more enthusiasm from the staff for the children but you can't win it all, right?

For 2 people The bill came to £74. We shared dough balls for starter. We had a pizza each. We had one drink each. Luckily we noticed a sign at the door that said if you download the PizzaExpress app, then you get free doughballs and 33% of pizzas.This makes it more affordable. So this brought the bill down to £44. Each person has to download the app (the restaurant has free Wi-Fi). And you need to know your table Number so you check into the table and add the offers. Staff were superb excellent service.

Changing my rating to 5 stars Just got back from pizza express, Falmouth and everything we had was yummy. Started with doppio dough balls and bruschetta, both amazing but I liked bruschetta more, and dough balls tastier than anytime I had before. I was already half full and kept thinking I might not find the pizza (pollo Forza) tasty because of fullness, butt I was wrong. This was the best pizza I've ever had, perfect amount of chicken, bell peppers, and red chillies. Go well with garlic oil. We also had rocket salad from the sides as a reward (something on the app).

Great meal . Great location. Food and service first class. This was 7pm on 7th Nov, so fairly quiet. But yes a good place to visit in Falmouth. They cover veggies.

Everything about our visit was terrific. The food, the atmosphere and the staff were all spot on. To top it all the restaurant has a fantastic view of the harbour and Fal estuary. Such a great place to have a pizza. One of the best Pizza Express restaurants I’ve been to!

Stunning views loverly pizza great staff fast service

Awesome service. Lovely waiting staff. Exquisite food. Maybe make a sign saying "ask for assistance with wheel chairs as it was unclear if we would be able to enjoy the view. Oh the view! I've lived in Falmouth for a long time, this is one of my favourite eats with views around. Noisy place around 6pm. If you have sensory needs, go a little earlier, we arrived at 5 and it was lovely and quiet. Thanks again to the amazing staff who were all lovely and smiley. FANTASTIC LOCATION, would go again.

Gorgeous food, light on the stomach, and really refreshing, i recommend the dough balls with the dips, so good 👍

LIt was a bit quiet in a midweek evening, with England v Italy on TV as well, but a nice meal overlooking the boats. A friendly greeting and great service though.

The restaurant were really accommodating for us as we were a large party. The food come out quickly and all together. Lily, who was our waitress was super efficient and friendly and really helpful and made the evening great.

Surprised with Pizza Express, not normally very good, in my local area however this visit to this venue was a very good experience, staff where on it, venue very good & prices £££, which is to be expected for a chain with fat cats that need feeding

Fab place! Awesome views, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, and the food was so tasty! Will definitely visit again!

For a chain - this wasn’t bad. Food was very nice but service was poor. Discounts etc have to be done via the app now which we didn’t have and not enough signal to download the app whilst there. Not the sort of place I would go every week!

Visited twice this week at lunchtimes. Despite some menu items not available at the time, we found more than enough choice... favourites and some new things not tried before. Loved the Bosco salad and Reine pizza, in fairness all the food was as expected. Drinks served swiftly so no sitting around waiting. Staff all friendlywith a smile ...make a big difference. Left a tip both times as the whole experience warranted it I thought. Marked down a bit on atmosphere only because no buzz to the place Approx £30 a head, but could have got away with £15 per person, but that's skimpy Well done PE Falmouth. Will come again. Cheers Andy

Very busy booked a table in advance family in front not booked seated right away we had to wait 10 minutes for our table crazy I wish i hadn't booked..... Then food delivered to our table at different times my partner had finished her stater before my son and I had ours we tend to eat out as an occasion and would have like to eat together rather then different times I asked the staff they said we are extremely busy.. yes but you only have a certain amount of tables in this building because you believe you can maintain that level of service my advice get rid of tables... I will not be heading back anytime soon extremely disappointed with our experience 😔

My family and I have celebrated so many occasions at this restaurant and every time the service and the food is spectacular. Yesterday, we were celebrating my leaving for university and everything was perfect as always. Claire Stokes was wonderful, her service was impeccable and she was incredibly kind! Keep up the good work everyone!

Really good service, friendly staff and good food. Good sized portions and very tasty. Overlooking Falmouth harbour, so lovely and such an interesting view.

What to say…great food served by super friendly staff, and you get a beautiful view!

Super super Pizza Express - what an ideal setting on a sunny day with a fabulous decking area. Food was superb, service friendly and swift what more do you want

Visited last week when we came to visit friends. Great restaurant, lovely art work on the walls, nice and clean and the stunning views top it off! It was extremely busy when we came so we were lucky to get a table and were told there would be a wait which didn’t bother us, it was obvious as all the staff were literally running! We ordered starters and mains all the food was amazing! Came out hot and well seasoned probably one of the best pizza express restaurants we’ve eaten at. The whole visit from start to finish was enjoyable, you clearly have a great team!! Will be back when we come down again in a few weeks! Thank you!!

Good experience at pizza express Falmouth, great food and attentive service from Kirsty in a nice harbour side location.

Reservierung über die Website geht nur mit einer englischen Telefonnummer, Reservieren per Anruf ging genauso. Schöner Blick auf den Hafen. Italienische Speisen, Pizza, Pasta... sehr lecker.

Always Outstanding. I have written many reviews of Pizza Express so possibly no point in doing another! However, when a UK chain can still produce the best pizza in the world , why not one more. With the demise of Prezzo, Jamie Oliver and others I would hate to see Falmouth Pizza Express bite the dust. My Nduja Calzone was 100% perfection. Staff brilliant, epic location.

Normally would give 5 stars and have been a few times however tonight was exceptionally bad. Firstly we felt we were ignored by staff as we waited the longest I have ever waited in a pizza express and when we finished no one came and offered desserts. We ordered 3 portions of doughballs for starters and they all came out cold, they said they would remake them and it came out half cold again. My pizza was doughy and undercooked and my friends lacked toppings. Overall not a great experience. It’s a shame because I really like this pizza express.

Wasn't expecting much, because...Pizza Express. But, pleasantly surprised by this one. Sat outside in the sunshine overlooking the harbour. Lad who served us was very attentive and helpful. Food was the usual, but kids loved it. Great for a cheap family meal out.

A good location, friendly staff, average food, far better eateries to be found in Falmouth.

Much better than Norwich 2 ! Grate service from sam

Sadly I have to say Helen really let the team down she couldn't even tell me where the toilet was or how many calories the cheesecake had but luckily amber stepped in and saved the day with floorless knowledge of not only the menu but a full history lesson on the history of pizza express She is a shining light in your team and should be given a pay rise P.s who knew pizza express was start by Peter boizot in 1965 🤯🤯🤯 Thank you again amber for saving what could have been a dreadful evening if not for your outstanding service

Arrived was greeted well, sat outside all OK until pizza arrived waitress threw it at me almost and it fell off the plate, barely apologised and went to get chilli oil. Pizza extremely thin to the point it was paper not pizza. The chilli oil was swiftly removed and yet the table behind was allowed a bottle to remain for the whole meal!! No one came to ask if everything was OK ' it was not'. The table behind was asked if the meal was OK we were ignored. Came swiftly to ask if we wanted anything else, absolutely no chance. Not a thank you or goodbye nothing. Will never return, robbed of £45 waste of money.

One of the best views in Falmouth! I've had the pleasure of dining at one of the best Pizza Express restaurants in the UK, and it's easy to see why it holds such a title. Every visit to this establishment is a delightful experience from start to finish. The quality of the pizza here is consistently exceptional. With each bite, you can taste the dedication that goes into crafting the perfect crispy base. The menu is a well-balanced blend of classic favorites and innovative creations, ensuring that there's something to satisfy every palate. One thing that sets this place apart is the impeccable service. The food arrives piping hot and in a timely manner, showing the kitchen's commitment to quality and efficiency. The staff's friendliness and attentiveness further enhance the dining experience, making you feel valued and well taken care of. Whether you're craving a classic Margherita or feeling adventurous enough to try a new specialty pizza, this restaurant has you covered. The combination of delicious food, a diverse menu, and exceptional service makes it a standout choice for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch pizza experience. I can confidently say that this Pizza Express restaurant has earned its reputation as one of the best in the UK, and I can't wait for my next visit.

Lovely food and service was very good. Very much enjoyed my time there to celebrate my recent postgraduate exam results.

First visit here. Great views of the harbour if you are lucky enough to get a window table inside. Outside seating in the warmer weather gives you the best views. Food was good and well presented. It was a bit noisy due to the acoustics of the building and so difficult to talk/hear, especially if you are hard of hearing. Would go back.

The food was absolutely amazing, very pleased with how fast it was made!

We normally love Pizza Express. So we decided to take our family to the Falmouth Pizza Express. My pizza did not look great and after eating it, I have been really ill.

No idea if the food is good or not - more than half the restaurant was empty but they turned us away claiming they didn’t have a free table for an hour and half.

Lovely atmosphere my food was gorgeous. Had a lovely evening.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Pizza Express in Falmouth. Our waitress Amelia was very attentive and the meals were cooked to perfection. Great views, friendly staff and fantastic food - a perfect meal out.

We ordered pizza and other food in the evening and asked it to the hotel where we were staying. And we waited 85 minutes for our food to arrive. Even though I texted the Ubereats driver, he didn't respond to me. The food was cold and we were officially disgraced with our money. The restaurant needs to check whether it reaches its customers after cooking. No one cares or cares. We have never experienced such disgrace anywhere in the world.

Prosecco was opened before it got to the table but was a really cheep plonk and had to go back. All the pizzas were great as you would expect

Great meal, service great and our pizzas were lovely

We visited in busy time period when lots of families with kids were visiting. Despite this, staff were very helpful and friendly. Food arrived in a timely manner and hot. Staff deserve a high praise for not losing it during busy times

Lovely sea views and fresh pizza. There are better options for pizza in Falmouth (that offer sourdough) but this place has great views while you eat

Good service and an interesting view of the river.

We stopped at this restaurant at the end of our day visiting Falmouth as a group of six. The waitress Claire was amazing! She was friendly and attentive for the whole night even though she was very busy with other tables as the restaurant was full. She was very helpful when asked about Gluten Free options and as a group of six everyone enjoyed their evening and food. Thanks again Claire!

Lovely food and staff friendly, had Cordy as our waitress and she was very polite and her service was amazing!

We had lunch at pizza express, maritime square, Falmouth on Friday 16th. We had booked but we're 3/4 hour early but had no problem being seated. Our waiter Sam was superb - great customer service He was welcoming, friendly, extremely competent and attentive to our needs. Even taking the time to show us where the lift was as one of our party was using crutches. All the staff we met were lovely and the restaurant itself is very well laid out with fab views over the harbour. Sam was great, an asset to your restaurant. Thank you for a really enjoyable meal :-) From some very happy Pizza Express customers😄

Superb location. The food was delicious and we had very attentive service. All the staff were lovely but special mention to Rhythm. Food was fresh, tasty and arrived in good time.

The food was very very nice, quickly delivered and the waiter we got was very attentive and kind. Rhythm

Fast service, great pizza, even better views

Exceeded expectations. Really good food and service. We used up some Tesco vouchers on a supper out at Pizza Express. The menu has changed a lot since we last went, meaning the choice was much improved. We had calamari (crispy, crunchy and very fresh), olives, chicken wings, chicken strips home-breaded, dough balls. Following that, pizzas and a salad bowl. It was all fresh. The service from a young guy called Sam was exceptional. Friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Water jug with ice at no charge, great table with a view, and attentive service without being overbearing. Overall, a really great experience.

Fantastic view watching boats coming and going. Great service and the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly. We will definitely return when we are travelling through Cornwall again. Easy parking as well and chance for a nice stroll over the meal.

Rhythm was fantastic! Very friendly and the service was outstanding. Good was very good and the views are beautiful

Absolutely awful we didn’t even get a drink here. Fantastic view 10 minutes the menu arrived and then we waited and waited and waited. They weren’t even busy - 4 tables. Now I accept short staffed, no staff but when you go to the people behind to ask if there meal is ok and ignore us not acceptable just rude..So we did what anyone would do leave and eat somewhere else. Huge shame fantastic venue and view just ignorant people.. !!!!!

Service was a little spotty today because it’s half term and it’s busy, presumably - but still, the food took an unusually long time to come out, my pizza felt over cooked as the base was a bit too crunchy and the cheese had started to shrivel and lose its moisture. Food didn’t come out all together - had waits between everyone’s meals, and had to ask where our side was half way through eating. Disappointing as it’s so expensive to eat there.
