Soggy - slow - not trustworthy It’s called pizza express but we had to wait for more than 30mins for the pizza although the store was not busy. So if you are not having ample of time, this might not be the place for you. I ordered a romana pizza which is supposed to be a thin and crispy crust but it was soggy and the toppings were rare. When leaving the restaurant, we saw that there’s a promotion on going but were not informed and was charged the full price despite meeting the criteria. So make sure you look at the signs if you were to come.

We had a birthday celebration for my brother and were very kindly accommodated in a quiet area, so that sensory overload issues did not arise. Food as ever, top notch, and so reliable on gluten-free. Love the localised loo signs too. Thank you team Gateshead. 👍

Being my order the starter was forgotten. The pizza wasn't exactly big and had few toppings. The whole thing with a drink costs 12 pounds. Too much in my opinion. Given that Pizza Express is a restaurant chain in England, I expect better standards and better service. Completely different at Pizzahut in England. There is a buffet at lunchtime with a drink.

This used to be my favourite pizza place. All seems to have changed. A 40 minute wait after starters is not acceptable. Slowest service ever. Not enough serving staff and those who were there didn't care. Pizza toppings were scare . You shouldn't be allowed to charge £16.00 for a pizza that has the smallest amount of topping ever. Won't be back.

I came here yesterday for lunch. I got the Florentina pizza. I now have food poisoning (salmonella) which i can only put down to the egg on my pizza. My boyfriend had a pepperoni pizza and was fine, just me poorly. I would recommend checking the products that are served so nobody else has to cope with getting sick. Servers are welcoming but wouldn’t return to any pizza express now after having to go doctors after eating here.

Booked a table for l.30 for lunch , arrived five minutes early and we were shown to our table straight away the waitress took our orders and was very polite and gave good service, unfortunately when our Pizzas arrived they were cold , my wife had half eaten her pizza and I had eaten three quarters of my pizza ,and I complained to the manager and even asked him to feel how cold it was he agreed , my in-laws had only eaten a small amount of theirs due to the fact that they were not enjoying them as they were cold . The manager did not seem to care and offered no apology , he did warm my in-laws pizza up and they were better . As for customer service the manager needs to go on a training course, he offered no apology , and just ignored us when we were leaving. Clearly our waitress who was good had not been trained by this ignorant manager.

After shopping on a Saturday evening we decided to get some what we thought would be ‘quick’ food as the restaurant name would suggest, before heading home so chose to eat at pizza express as it also looked quite quiet, maybe 6 or so tables filled. As we were waiting to be seated a Deliveroo driver pushed in front of us and the member of staff rushed over to serve them first and ignored us standing there and then walked away without asking if we wanted a table. We were eventually seated at a table with no cutlery and with rubbish all over the floor under our feet. After ordering two pizzas and a kids meal, the food proceeded to take 50 minutes to come to the table! The portions were absolutely tiny and we left feeling barely less hungry than when we went in! It was also very expensive for what you’re actually getting. The food took so long to come out that we had to leave before my son’s dessert came because it was getting too close to his bed time. It was also very hard to catch any waiters attention and they didn’t smile once. Overall a very poor experience that has made sure I won’t be going to a pizza express ever again.

Pizza Express is the most overpriced pizza restaurant we have ever been to! How can they even justify charging those prices for a thin base made of flour, and an even thinner covering of tomato sauce and almost invisible toppings! Not worth the money. We left feeling almost as hungry as we were when we arrived! (This review isn't just about this particular branch of Pizza Express or about the lovely staff - it is Pizza Express prices everywhere.)

The food was ok however not filling and very expensive! The soft drinks price Vs what other venues offer is shocking for the amount you get here. The gluten free portions are not fit for an adult to consume and this is simply unacceptable... The food was very expensive and not particularly impressive. The bathroom was not the cleanest either. It is nice you can pay through the app. Not the best atmosphere. It was empty and the upstairs portion of the restaurant was closed.

Me and my husband visited during our Christmas shopping day. Seemed relatively quiet so thought it would be ideal for a quick lunch. Another 2 groups of people and ourselves waited in the entrance for quite some time, I initially thought people were debating wether to go in, however it transpired they were waiting to be seated. We were seated quite abruptly, menus slapped down on the table and that was that. Ordering was straightforward and fairly prompt. We ordered starters and a pizza to share. Food arrived in good time. Wasn't overly impressed with the food but it is what it is. The service was where the main issue lay. Having already witnessed another table complain I gave the benefit of the doubt. Our original waiter left and we were then served by someone else. We sat with empty glasses for the duration of our visit, waited for extras that we never received and in the end asked for the bill, again something we never received. Luckily my husband downloaded the app and managed to access our bill which we paid remotely. I'm not even sure anyone noticed us leaving. People were being turned away even though it was half empty. Tables were left dirty throughout the visit. All in all not the best experience

We waited to be seated on Sunday lunch time despite all of the top floor being empty. The decor is nice and it does feel fancier than some of the other Italian chains. We shared the Cromer crab arancini starter from the specials menu which was very good. My partner opted for the calzone which was large, well risen and packed with filling. I enjoyed the stick pig pizza which is essentially two flavours, both of which were delicious. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was high quality and very tasty, this was reflected in the price which we found to be quite steep, especially for a chain/shopping centre . £17+ for a pizza. £8 for some starters and puddings.
