I ordered this evening via deliveroo from Pizza express Crawley, I oredere pollo pesto, but no pesto on it, it sure what happened but pesto was missing, this is soo disappointing, if the restaurant run out of pesto why I haven't been informed. I wroled in pizza express so I know how a pollo pesto has to look like, this was a cheese pasta. Extremely disappointed, not sure what happened but definitely the restaurant is going down. Please see the picture below, if you see any pesto do. Let me know.

We've eaten out a few times since restaurants reopened after lockdown and this is the only place where we've not felt safe. Waiters leaning over customers to take orders and deliver food. Evne though they have plenty of space. In another Pizza Express we visited, all food was put on a spare table next to us and we passed meals down. My husband asked for black pepper and the waitress said she had to put it on for him so leant over him again. At one point one of the chefs came out into the main restaurant and hugged one of the waiters. Just no clue about social distancing and definitely not a safe place to eat at the moment. Shame because the food is delicious as always.

You can always find deals online in here but even if you don’t it’s nicely priced for the quality of food and service you are provided. Would highly recommend the pollo pesto pasta.

I love pizza express normally but this particular branch really reduced my impression of the chain. It's a big restaurant but it feels poorly managed and now with the pandemic, we really didn't feel it was well managed from a safety perspective, to the point we regretted going. We arrived 7 mins after our booking time and were asked to wait until 20 past to get seated because the previous sitting was still there, and when we arrived at our table, it was sticky (so clearly not cleaned properly). I liked my pizza (and it was a v generous size) but my partner did not like his at all- he said it was really low / budgeted on cheese! However, my main concern was the safety. To go to the toilet, you had to open and close so many doors, which everyone is using. One of the soap dispensers in the toilet didnt have any soap and I did not see hand sanitizer anywhere inside/around the store (i think it was just at the entrance). I didnt feel there was a clear one way system and overall it just didn't feel fit to open given the pandemic. The waitor who served us was a bit cold but the waitress was trying very hard and was friendly. Overall, def not returning again, unfortunately.

We have always liked pizza express. And have been to restaurants all around the country and have usually had great service. However, this restaurant in Crawley is the exceptional to the rule. From the moment we walked in the waiter looked at us as though we had brought in rats. We had our baby and toddler with us and the waiter just looked as though he didn't want us there. Then after a wait on the menus, he eventually came over to take our order. All restaurants follow a service model of at least offering drinks first. Oh no not this waiter. We had to stop him from leaving after just taking our starters to actually take our drinks order. Whilst we were eating the table behind us left who also unfortunately brought their children with them. And we heard the waiter just tut and moan that the kids had left mess on the floor. Overall he and the manager made it abundantly clear that they didn't want to serve any customer who had children with them. With service like this and a building failing into disrepair I can understand why the company is in trouble. We can safely say that this will be the last time that we use Pizza Express.

Met friends for lunch here just before Christmas. Most places are buzzing before Christmas, not this place, there must have been 10 diners in total in the whole place. It just didn't feel inviting. It was cold, there was no seasonal atmosphere. The windows are floor to ceiling and everyone walking past glares in at you. Service was ok up to dessert, where after 20 minutes we has to go and find the single waitress to ask for the dessert menu. The pizza was sort of ok, that was about it.

Food was very good, the drinks were good. The service was good, as always. But as you sit and look around the restaurant you notice it need some TLC. Ceiling, areas around the lights were dirty, the air vents were dusty, the stair well up to the toilet looks old and tatty. It seems who ever manages the premises has lost interest in making the place look appealing. It used to be tidier! I’ll still be back.

Rung up on a Saturday at 4pm asking for a table of 26 at 630pm and wasnt a problem. We were put upstairs with our very own waiter. So good to have the room upstairs and our waiter was amazing. So funny and nothing was too much trouble. I think all the bad reviews this place has are just people being unlucky or picky. Everytime I have been here it's been amazing.

I am a frequent visitor to Pizza Express. You pretty much know what you’re getting across the chain. However, my experience of this god awful excuse of a restaurant is one I don’t ever wish to repeat. On arrival we was pointed to a table and left for over 10 minutes whilst the waitress dealt with another angry diner who she’d forgotten to get his order. Finally our order was taken, or rather the handset was given to us to press our own selections!Our garlic dough balls were served in no more than 90 seconds (no exaggeration here) and were like warm at best. Following this, we sat listening to one of the chefs taking the mickey out of our order for asking to have no egg on the carbonara pizza with the waitress, clearly not realising we was sat in earshot. The carbonara pizza (I’ve had in several other restaurants) was again luke warm and sloppy. I think the chef had spilt the pot of white sauce over the top! We asked for the bill twice before requesting the table number so we could pay on the app and run!Never again!

For main he had some chicken salad....he is a chef himself and his chicken had raw patches. Which was disgusting. Service was rubbish and had to constantly try and get attention of waitress. Took 25 mins to get attention of someone to get the bill. Wasn’t asked how meals were at all. Not happy and don’t beleive it was worth the money. Will not return

I'm not a fan of italian chains but this is ok. There's a lack of anywhere decent at all to eat in the Crawley town centre so due to lack of choice this was agreed upon. The place is clean, the service good and the food wasn't bad. I had a pizza which was a litte tasteless, but we were left alone to enjoy our evening. Overall good if your more interested in sharing a glass of wine with friends and not really focused on the food.

It took a while for us to get sat at a table, but we did not complain. At that stage we assumed that the food must be relatively good for it to busy. However, we were terribly disappointed when the pizza arrived. It looked greasy and there weren't many ingredients on it either. It's a shame. Won't be coming here in a while, for sure.

Visited here last week and had a really poor experience compared to other Pizza Express’ I’ve visited. The food was fine, it’s always consistent across the group, but what let it down was the service. All of the waiting staff seemed bored and the service was purely transactional, there was no interest, warmth or anything from anyone. Waiters wandering around spinning trays, clearly bored. When we left we walked past four members of staff, including the manager, none of them were doing anything but not one said thank you or goodnight. These are basics of customer service and they failed. Won’t go back to this one.

Had a starter, a Romano pizza and desert. We we served by Beata, a very nice young Polish girl who had been there only one week. She always had a nice smile and was very pleasant. Left her a good tip... she really deserved it. The restaurant was a bit noisy especially since there was a birthday party going on at one table but Beata made it ok.

My wife had chicken Caesar salad with the dressing being salad cream I did mention it to the waiter who was very efficient but I know what Caesar dressing is and I know what salad cream is! There were also no pizza cutters and not even that busy! Lucky I don't have to visit it regularly

First of all - to be clear this is not a gripe with the Crawley branch of Pizza Express - for the service was good. It is a moan about the Pizza Express menu. Time was when you could get a pizza at this chain that was well made and offered a variety of good quality toppings including vegetables and meats such as chicken and ham. Gradually, however, the pizzas I enjoyed (Jardinera, Il Padrino etc) have disappeared and the whole focus of the menu is on hot and spicy - I ordered a Pianta pizza (no cheese, salad leaves - but inevitable chili flakes) on the basis that there was not much chili on it (the current menu reminds me of the Monty Python "spam" sketch) - my wife ordered a chicken salad - but that also had something spicy in it! So if you do not want or like spicy food - don't go to Pizza Express!! Desserts as always are unimaginative.

Sunday evening 26th of March, we were staying down the road in the Travelodge and we decided to have dinner here. Always enjoy pizzas at Pizza Express, been here before and enjoyed it also we had a voucher "buy one get one free" which was valid on Sundays.Just to make sure we asked our waiter if our voucher was valid for this visit, he said he would check with the manager, we were subsequently informed it was not valid as it was Mothering Sunday and the till would not accept the code. We did challenge this with our waiter, who was really being helpful, he took the voucher away and returned after a while and confirmed the voucher was acceptable.Had intended to order Romana American Hot, until saw one being served up to someone at another table, it was huge, so decided on classic Sloppy Giuseppe and a Fiorentina.We ordered 2 large bottles of beer, they were over £7 each, well expensive. Our pizzas were served and they were very good and soon devoured.The restaurant itself did look a bit jaded but looked as if it was being made ready for refurbishment, pictures had been removed from the walls.Really good pizzas, helpful and friendly waiter, however expensive beers.

Even though there were only 2 tables when we walked in, no one greeted us or despite our awkward fumble by the door gave us a gesture to say they'd be with us. We eventually walked through and found someone to give us a table. Even though we were a table of 3 adults 3 kids we were given 4 adult menus and then the waitress was never to be seen again.. as everyone seemed to be avoiding eye contact, to get children's menus and order drinks we had to leave our table and again find someone. (We managed to find some kids colours on a uncleared table next to us). However whether our early neglect got noticed I'm unsure but we saw some new faces who begun to serve us. From here on in everything was lovely. Food, service, drink, and the kids had a great time. Seemed very short staffed for a Saturday when we first arrived being as the team were struggling with the 2 existing tables but I assume 5pm/6pm starters managed to ease the load. The second half of our experience by our new waitresses was wonderful, the first half left much to be desired, maybe we just hit it at an odd time.

When we arrived a party of youngsters were having a party, preparing their own pizzas (flour absolutely everywhere!), and having a great time. Loud, yes, but absolutely wonderful to behold. The staff were quick to bring colouring pens and books for our little ones, and to serve our drinks and starters. There was then a huge wait while the pizzas for the party were cooked, before our main courses arrived. Service then picked up again, and ice creams came in good time. The staff were friendly, and excellent with all the kids, but it was obvious that they were short-handed for a restaurant of this size.

As a family we turned up on a Monday evening with the expectation of a slow and uneventful meal. We were a little surprised by the number of guests, much busier than we expected. We were, however, very much impressed by the warm welcome and efficient service. The staff were all friendly and very helpful and I have to admit the quality and proportions of our meals were excellent. It is no wonder there were more diners, I am sure we shall return soon. Thank you for a most enjoyable meal.

Visited here as we staying nearby before going on holidays the following morning. Chose Pizza Express as we were able to use our tastecard. Large restaurant with plenty of light, though it did give the impression of being a bit like a canteen. Nice friendly service. Ordered Calamari to start, which was good. La Reine pizza and a Nicoise salad as a main. Pizza tasted good but very sparse with topping. The salad had nice fresh salad leaves but missing fundamental ingredients. No capers, No egg. I don't know if this was because we used a tastecard. Unacceptable if it was. Not impressed with Crawley branch as far as food was concerned.

Exactly what was expected with slightly less thrills that I've experienced in other branches of this pizza chain. Ordered way too much (something I am prone to) but the calamari was a little undercooked and rubbery. A shame as the flavour was good, as was the Caesar dip. The forza pizza was tasty, with the Romana base being a wise choice for a crispy thinner alternative. More flavour and less filling up on the dough. The chicken and peppers on the pizza were yummy though.The summer drink special was a passionfruit lemonade, a great option I think.

Exceptionally cheap furnishings, no carpet and massive Windows heating the restaurant up like a furnace ensure I will not be back. No curtains or blinds to keep the blasting sun out of your face. What a great disservice to a great brand and hard working staff. Every chair that moved screeched loudly across the tiled floor. Soft conversation was rudely amplified to ensure your own conversations could not be heard. This place can best be described as a cheap canteen serving expensive, but agreeably, excellent pizza. Do not go if you don't want a headache.

Pizza express in Crawley is a very large restaurant and always has special offers including two for one deals.This was the first thing that made its attractive to us so although a bit sceptical we thought we give it a go.Visit oneBoth the Lasagne I had and my whites pizza where very tasty indeed, a meal for two including drinks for less than £30 really is quite good value. Visit two We both ordered off the main menu and had the slightly larger pizzas whether it was because I had first visit had been so good or just we didn't enjoy this one as much left us with a feeling of slight disappointment, again the bill was still only about £30 (remember to take your vouchers). Because of the proliferation of vouchers for this restaurant I have absolutely no idea how much things are really cost and can therefore only gave an opinion about and the relative merits of using said vouchers. Yes I've eaten in better places however for an inexpensive propound I would recommend mess with the vouchers.

Having lunch in this restaurant was such a terrible experience. Just order 2 pizzas and 2 children menus, which I expected to be quick. All took nearly one hour to be ready, not sure if short of staff but never around. will not go back

Loved the Barbados pizza on the menu. Vicky, our waitress, was super kind to our young daughters. Took one of them back to select her own flavour of ice cream. Restaurant was clean, service was excellent. We will be back!

We visited around 4.30 on a Saturday afternoon, we were seated straight away as it wasn't busy . The restaurant was clean ,bright and welcoming. We were served by a very polite waiter and all of the food we ordered was delicious. We used the O2 offer which made it very good value (£5 per pizza !!) .We love Pizza Express always a nice treat with the children and we will definitely visit this one again.

Sunday evening 17th July we we staying the night at the Travelodge in Crawley, went out exploring to find somewhere to eat and visit some of the pubs.We came across Pizza Express and decided to go in, not had one of their pizzas in ages. We were met at the door and shown to the waiting area and asked to wait a few minutes on the comfy sofas, not sure why we were  made wait as there were loads of tables available. Luckily  we did not have to wait long before we were shown to our table.From the outside the restaurant is rather impressive with it's very large glass frontage, Inside is bigger than expected and is very airy and bright with good decor and furnishings.We ordered 2 pizzas, American Hottest and Fiorentina and 2 large bottles of Perroni beer, the beers were £7 each, ouch a bit steep.When the pizzas arrived, I asked the waiter if I had got the correct pizza, it looked like an American Hot and not the American Hottest which I ordered. I was assured that the pizza in front of me was the American Hottest, it was not it was an American Hot and that what showed up on the bill.The pizza was really good  American Hot is one of my favourites,  just wanted to try something different but did not get the opportunity. It was the waiter's attitude that annoyed me more, he was adamant that he served me an American Hottest, there was no apology or admission that an error had been made.The total bill for the evening was £33.80, the pizzas were around £10 and £9 and £7 each for the beers.Should give this restaurant a rating of very good, however, the service/attitude was poor, the food was good but not what was ordered ,there is no good rating so average will have to do.

On Saturday me and my girls arrived on our hen party, we was extremely happy with how we was greeted and our lovely host. From the start the staff were attentive and helpful, the food arrived piping hot and to a one we were all very surprised by the quality and quantity. The selection of wines was good and we were drawn in by them.The restaurant was completely full but the waiter I believe was simona, despite having so many tables made the experience so much more enjoyable. It was so nice to have someone bubbly and happy with a professional attitude. Almost felt as if she was out with our party.Great experience and will definitely use this Pizza Express again!!

Quite simply impossible to hear yourself speak in here. The room is totally unsuitable for use due to being echoey. Even with only half a dozen tables occupied it was unbearable.

Waiting over an hour for just some tap water is unacceptable, even though the restaurant was quite busy. The staff were also ill-informed of the terms of the Wednesday two for one deal as the guy initially said Romana pizza's would be an extra £1.55 each which is no where to be found in the terms and conditions. I think the staff could have managed a better job in getting drinks to the table as soon as possible instead of trying to ease the long queue for tables. The pizza took a long time to get to the table and no apology was offered. Bad service for a Wednesday evening and made us late for the car park. If visiting this pizzeria you must allow lots of time as the place is severely understaffed and therefore service suffers a lot.

We use Pizza Express regularly all over the country as it is our son's favourite restaurant. This branch is certainly below par! My usual Fiorentina pizza didn't have a lovely crisp cooked base, the centre of it was uncooked & soggy. Food aside this restaurant needs canopies along the side. The majority of the tables were unbearable to sit at owing to the heat of the evening Sun & made for a very uncomfortable experience. Will definitely use Pizza Express again. Just not this one.

I had really high expectations for this pizza place however was left utterly disappointed. I bit into the pizza and the base tasted raw which is a huge disappointing shame. Also ordered a garlic pizza
