Service was excellent especially from our waiter Lucian who was very friendly and knowledgeable this made our experience ten times better as it made the restaurant seem very homely.

Reserved table during half term. We're seated within 5 min, it was very busy at lunchtime. Our server was lovely, sounded Italian, didn't catch name. Food was delicious, pizza was so thin, amazing. Had Tiramisu for dessert which was honestly stunning, I'm very picky with Tiramisu, this had the little tang of alcohol and it was very moist, perfect.

Review written by my 12 year old son. This was the worst dining experience of my life. Firstly, when we arrived it was impossible to sit in two of the four seats at our table without climbing over or crawling under the table. We were shown to another table where it was possible to sit and promptly ordered. Half an hour later, our drinks arrived. One hour later, our starters arrived. They were mediocre despite the long wait - the chilli prawns were watery, the mozzarella greasy and the calamari burnt. One hour and forty five minutes later, our pizzas arrived. The service was ridiculously slow and staff were dismissive of our concerns for how long we had to wait - pizza EXPRESS it certainly wasn't! If you have any experience, any experience at all of making pizza from scratch, it takes about 30-45 minutes. Here they have the dough prepared and they probably started it before our starters arrived so it probably should have taken them about 20 minutes to cook the pizza. When the pizza eventually arrived was of them was barely cooked - raw dough, cold/uncooked tomato, cheese barely melted - after an hour and three quarters of waiting this term was unacceptable. We were not the only disgruntled customers. What happened next really irritated us. Almost all the waiters were young and to send them forward to deal with unhappy customers was unfair - management should have been dealing with the issues. We did get a refund on the raw pizza but the lack if concern, apoligy or any sort of customer service really was appalling. Seriously, save yourself the trauma of coming here. Unless your starting a restaurant and want to see how not to do things STAY AWAY! Pour young employees, really feel for them. This is a genuinely terrible place to go for pizza - find another chain or an independent Italian to visit.

Sadly my friends and I had a very bad experience. Already before entering it was clear that the people working there were fighting or had some sort of argument. We were ignored for a solid 5 minutes and then when we asked if there was space, we were left alone again, waiting for another 5 minutes with workers ignoring us. Finally someone came up to us (we think it might have been the manager?) and asked us very angrily what we wanted. When we asked if they could seat us, he told us there was no space even though more than half of the restaurant was empty. He was also not being nice about it and it seemed like he just wanted to get rid of us. Again, maybe we just managed to walk in during a bad time since they were already arguing with each other before we entered, but I am certainly not used to that sort of service from pizza express. Really disappointed.

Went to Pizza express and was greeted by lovely staff. My daughter has type 1 diabetes and was having a hypo as soon as we walked through the door. Without hesitation the waiter Lucian got her a glass of apple juice and was back within seconds. So quick and kind and offered it on the house. I was so grateful and I appreciate it so much. My daughter is only 10 newly diagnosed and his kindness was greatly welcomed. The food was absolutely lovely, came out quick, delicious and hot. Connor our server was kind, lovely and very helpful. His attention to detail was nice. He didn't miss a thing. All in all it was a lovely visit and we left feeling stuffed and happy.

Sadly we had a very poor experience in PE Exeter last night (Thurs 16th Jan). We arrived without a booking at 5.15pm and asked for a table for two. The restaurant was totally empty yet we were made to wait for the waiter to ask his manager if there were any tables free. I asked for the table in the window but was told I could only have the choice of two tables despite being the only diners in the restaurant. We proceeded to have a drink and order our food. We had two Romana pizzas, both of which were overcooked (blackened crust and tough chewy base) and probably the worst pizzas we have had from a Pizza Express restaurant. To top things off, our plates were cleared and bill presented to us straight away, not having asked for it. We politely paid and left (the table I requested was still vacant at the time of leaving - 6.45pm) but found the whole experience poor. The guy that met us at the door and brought our bill was called Oscar, yet we received good service from Lucien throughout. Oscar was rude and unwelcoming and could do with understanding he works in a service industry and his attitude towards us last night could well explain why your restaurant is so quiet. My family have enjoyed dining at PE for the last 20 years and this was the worst experience we have had in that time.

It's okay. Pizza was fine and dessert was good, but everything was extremely overpriced. Dessert was a yummy slice of cake, but it was laughably small and cost something like £7! If you want delicious pizza at an affordable price (along with great salads and desserts), I would recommend Franco Manca.

Slow service, the atmosphere just felt a bit rushed with the xmas parties that were in today. Food was tasty but a massive joke when we order extra ham on a pizza just to get 5 tiny pieces for an extra £2.50. Raised with waitress and they removed from the bill. But if you are paying for something you would like a decent amount surely.

This was my third visit to Pizza Express with my partner, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to our previous experiences. We were seated promptly and placed our order, but our starter took 30 minutes to arrive. After finishing the starter, we then had to wait another 30 minutes for the main course. While the food itself was up to the usual standard, the garlic butter dip was completely rock solid and unusable. At the end of the meal, we struggled to get a staff member’s attention to request the bill. When we finally did, the waiter appeared visibly frustrated that no gratuity had been added—despite the disappointing service. Overall, this visit fell short of the service we’ve come to expect from Pizza Express.
