Definitely not the delivery drivers fault - APP said he was at the restaurant for at least 10 minutes. Pizza was only warm and had slid within the packaging so looked unappealing too.

Ordered two pizzas and they both arrived soggy and undercooked. Like, there was 0 love given to the assembly and crafting of these oversauced floppy things. I'm not asking for love like the burning and ungrated passion of a thousand parmesan wheels, kinda love, just the normal, cook the dough right and just take a bit of care in cooking it kinda way. Very disappointed.

We had been sent away from another couple of restaurants as they were full due to school holidays. When arriving we have been greeted by the manager who said "I never turn customers away", he then looked for a table, cleaned it and prepared it quickly for us. We have received great customer servce from start to finish and the food is great. The pizzas are very close to traditional Italian! I can recommend the restaurant and the staff of Pizza Express enough. I will definitely return in the future

I recently visited Pizza Express near Riverside at The Oracle and had an enjoyable dining experience. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal out. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our visit went smoothly from start to finish. They helped us with the menu and provided prompt service, which made us feel well looked after. We decided to try the Padana Pizza, along with a Raspberry Sparkler and a classic Coke. The pizza was fantastic—freshly baked with a delicious, thin crust, and topped with rich, flavorful ingredients. The combination of sweet caramelized onions and creamy goat’s cheese on the Padana was a real treat, making each bite a burst of flavor. The Raspberry Sparkler was refreshing and complemented the pizza perfectly. Overall, it was a delightful experience. The quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere really stood out, making this Pizza Express location one I’d recommend to anyone looking for a satisfying meal in the area.

I wouldn’t order from Pizza Express again. Have twice tried to order the ultimate chocolate cake (which they’ve done before with a pizza!). The first time they forgot to pack the slice of cake in an order of two items(!?!), but charged me anyway (!?!!). The second time they cut the slice so badly that the thin side of the wedge was cut diagonally… so I got two-thirds of a cake I paid full price for. The quality control is awful.

A nice place with good food and decent atmosphere. Weekends are busy and would likely require a reservation. The app has lots of freebies which is well worth doing and you can hook up the apps together by 'checking in' on the same table to use multiple vouchers between the guests. Cleanliness could be a little better with greasy smudges on the bench and mirror, and slight water marks on the glass. However it's more of an improvement point rather than it's dirty. Would visit again.

6 of us ate at the Oracle for my birthday yesterday, 5th March. Our waitress AND the manager could not have been nicer or more patient with us. Some of us had the App', some didn't, some of us wanted to use offers, some of us didn't, some of us wanted to redeem rewards some of us didn't etc. and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. The manager was SUPER patient and helped us all individually get the best value offers (no means feat in itself) which saved us all a lot of money, the food was fab and all six of us agreed we were helped and looked after SO well it really made a difference to our evening. A great big THANK YOU for being so patient with us and to the whole team there, we had a great evening there thanks to your professionalism and helpfulness 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

in the title lies a compliment - a big one and apparently very difficult to achieve. We arrived at appx 13.40 on Saturday afternoon and the place was packed, deservedly so. Whether by luck or judgement here's an example of a restaurant where kitchen and waiting staff appeared to be working in perfect harmony. Compliments from me are very rare, so well done and hopefully management will take note and even a secret visit to learn and transfer what's being done so well, meanwhile reward those staff for what they are doing.

Update for August 2023: I thought it only fair to update my review after my recent visit. Things have changed for the better. The place has been refurbished relatively recently and both the food and service were excellent. We were really pleased with our pizzas and the waiter could not have done more for us. Thanks! Original Review: Food was tasty but took way too long to come and service was abysmal. Service level very much dependent on who serves you. The waitresses were extremely rude and unattentive. When we asked for our table to be cleaned the waitress just stared at us. When we gave our order the waitress just tapped on her handheld device but did not acknowledge the order. Really poor service for the amount it costs, I hope management takes note.

We went to this place just before entering the Odeon Cinemas as we were heading to a movie. Knowing we only had 10mins and Pizza Express are usually late in serving Wes till took a chance. A lovely lady named Chaturi received us and we explained our situation. She greeted us warmly and showed us to the salad bar and by the time we finished our salads the hot, absolutely stunningly yummy pizza and garlic bread was served. It was as if someone had pre-ordered for us. The service was so quick it almost felt unbelievable. We made it to the movie intjme. Kids were happy and so were we. Had a lovely meal!
