Just received my delivery and it'll be the last time I order from there. I ordered Meal for 1 Bundle, a basic margherita and doughballs. I received a cold pizza base, smothered in thick tomato sauce with a tiny sprinkling of cheese. Doughballs were cold as well, very disappointed

You know what... Even after all these years... Pizza Express in Preston is still providing the best quality Pizza's and I've never had a bad experience there. I put this down to the fact that Lisa the Manager has been there since I moved to Preston in 1998 and runs the place brilliantly. Always welcoming and fun, great service and Lisa's staff are always attentive - plus the foods great! Burnt Ends Pizza!!! I mean seriously! DELICIOUS!!! What's not to love! Plus the restaurants in a really lovely part of Preston which enhances the overall experience. LOVE IT!

Went in for lunch with my husband. We had a dough balls for the first time and enjoyed them. Then had pizzas which again were very tasty. The server Ella was so lovely. We have a pizza express app on our phone but had not used it before so was not really sure how to use it but Ella showed us how it worked explaining very clearly how to use it. Many thanks Ella. We highly recommend this branch and the staff.

Found the prices to be extreme although I did enjoy my pizza. My husband however had the lasagne which looked like a microwave meal which was appalling bearing in mind it was just under £17. Didn't even come with any garnish. Place lacks atmosphere....more like a canteen feel. Sorry but won't be going here again.

Lovely place for some pizza! Have been here a couple of times and it’s always super quiet. Staff are friendly and service is fast. Me and my partner are obsessed with the dough balls doppio, they’re so so good, we love the pesto and garlic sauce that comes with them. I usually get the soho 65’ pizza (without olives) and my partner gets the double American. For a chain pizza place, I really recommend.

It's been 6 years since we have been to Pizza Express. We were regulars before the whole lockdown happened. After talking about it we decided to head up as we were big fans pre lockdown. Overall? It was "ok" We usually always had the leggera Padana so chose to re-live past visits and ordered these. Well, the portions have shrunk a fair bit, they are way more frugal with the toppings and the salad used to be mixed salad, it is now just leaves and sauce. Sadly our last visit I think, it's not worth the price increase for a reduced product.

All the food was cold which was surprising as we are staying less than 5 minutes walk from this restaurant. Pizzas were subpar, certainly nowhere near the quality of eating in at a Pizza Express, the vegan cheese was practically non-existent on both pizzas, the aubergine dish leaked in transit and looked like someone else’s leftovers had been put into a shoddy takeout box. Thankfully dough balls were on point as was the vegan garlic butter. Won’t be ordering from Pizza Express again after this.

When we ordered at about 2000, our delivery time wa stated as 2035-2050, which seemed like a long wait but, ok. At 2050 the delivery status still said driver allocated. We phoned the restaurant and our food was waiting. We waited another 30-35 minutes knowing our food was now cold wondering what to do. We phoned the restaurant, and it was only then that the driver turned up. It then took approx 15 mins for the delivery to make the 6 min WALK to our apartment. I have no complaint with the food (although it was stone cold on arrival). That was not the restaurant’s fault. I am, however, dismayed that there was no way to communicate with Just Eat to find out what was going on with our order, and how it is acceptable to let food get cold, and charge money for its delivery. I’d like a full refund on our order please.

We were in the area and decided to stop here for something to eat. The place was very quiet maybe one or two tables with people on. When we walked in all the staff were standing together and gave us a weird look and one of them kept staring at us in an unfriendly manner. We were shown to a table. We ordered drinks and food which I had the 'duo romana' which I chose 'padana' for one half and the other half 'sloppy giuseppe'. The pizza took a little longer to arrive than you would expect from an empty place. The pizza wasn't overly the best and not to the standard for this chain and had from other branch's. The pizza was thinner than a crepe and soggy so you couldn't pick it up. The other food we had was also very poor and not to standard. The staff were relatively friendly but their attitude could have been better. Overall the food isn't up to the chains standard. The place seemed clean, location is good. There might be better places to eat nearby

We as usual ordered Romano pizzas, kid 3course meal, pint of perroni and apple juice. We found out their Romano pizza dough were super thin and unlikely baked baked like other store. It was soft bottom but a lot ingredients filling. It lost the essence of pizza because you hardly had a base to eat but just like a soft pancake. You can see through those fillings from base, that thin...

You generally know Pizza Express is going to be good when it’s in an old building. This one, in Preston, was no exception. Located down a side street off the main road, just past Sainsbury, this is a nice, bright branch. First customer of the day, always good. Lady serving was friendly and quick. Good table. Right by the window, not on a path. The usual food; the classic doughballs and a Romana funghi di bosco. All well cooked; good amount of butter with the doughballs. You like to see it and here I did. Toilets are in the Gods. A bit of a trek. Good exercise though… Would definitely come to this one again. Well done.

I edited this review so many times and because of that i decided for 3 stars. You never know what youll get. Sometimes the food is absolutely fantastic for a great price, on other days youll get a really dry burger that tastes like its been reheated in a microwave about three times at least. Its cheap and when its good its fantastic. Its a shame its such a roulette with pizza city as it put me off when im about to order food.
