The service this time was not that great, probably due to a young inexperienced fellow, which brought a salary with gluten to the table for someone with coeliac after we mentioned this allergy/intolerance.

Booked a table here to have lunch on the quay on the hottest day of the year and your general manager shut the outside tables. We went and sat next door in Zizzis hut the amount of people who would’ve ate at pizza express instead was crazy. The amount of money you lost out on would’ve been insane!

Can't fault the speed and efficiency of the service today- polite and focused staff, and quick dispatch of my food. However, I'd say the food was overpriced and pretty bland- perhaps I should have just ordered something different.

I exchanged my Tesco points for vouchers and took my family for dinner. The food was very tasty. We ordered drinks first and they came quick. Then we moved to the starters and it took some time, but still reasonable. I tried the Lemon & Herb Chicken Wings, which were about 6 pieces I think, very well cooked. The kids went for the Dough Balls and they loved them. We had to wait a bit longer for the pizzas. My husband picked Pollo ad Astra and myself Padana. The kids had their kids' meal with Margherita and our oldest one ordered pasta. Everything was very well cooked. The kid's meal dessert came with a cup of milk with cocoa and my oldest one chose a brownie which was quite a big piece. The total bill came to about £118, reduced with the Tesco vouchers came down to £72. I think for this order without the vouchers it would be expensive - yes, like other people say here in other reviews. However this is Gunwharf, so you pay for the location and atmosphere and I get it. It wasn't a wow meal, so paying £72 at the end of the evening was ok for us. I want to say a special "Thank you" to Angelo who was serving our table - a charming young man, who does his job very well. I hope his manager will read this and will consider it in the next salary review. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the stuff we ordered, I wanted to feel the atmosphere of this place in full. All in all a great experience and will visit again.

We visited for my Dad’s birthday and I can’t say we had a fantastic experience. The food was relatively nice, although I could have done with far more toppings on my pizza. I can’t say the chocolate cake was worth just shy of £9. The service was really slow and generally poor and we had to ask multiple times for glasses for water and we were being hassled to pay the bill which was incorrect. There was also a terrible draft from the door which we were sat near.

Fantastic food but let down by appalling front of house staffing. Did nothing but complain about how busy it was despite only three other tables having customers on. We ordered drinks then didn't get any. A terrible experience would not recommend, considering that there are so many other, cheaper, better restaurants very close by. Hats off to the chefs because the food was lovely, they've been let down big time.

I ordered a takeaway from this restaurant for my son and I. The food was cold but more importantly the pizza was very badly made. It actually consisted of two layers of pizza dough, which weren't connected, which meant that it was difficult to cut and as it was eaten it fell apart. Horrible. Sad really, as I used to take my son to Pizza Express in a different town most months when he was a little boy, and we had lots of great memories. I wouldn't purchase from here again.

Not as good as visits to others in the chain. Calzone pizza was a bit over cooked and tough. Starter plates were not cleared before mains arrived so we had to move them out of the way and it took two times to get the bill. It was early evening but they were quite busy.

Even though it was early evening they were quite busy and struggling to cope. My calzone was slightly over cooked and tough whilst the filling was still only warm. Service was a bit slow and when our mains came they had not cleared the starter plates so we had to lift them up. Getting the bill was a bit of a struggle. Thought we were going to enjoy as much as when we visited other branches, but will not be rushing back here.

I've eaten here a few times when I've visited Gun Wharf. It's my favourite Pizza Express. I always have Polla Astra Leggaria. It tastes amazing here compared with other branches of pizza Express I've eaten at. The service today was really so good. Charming staff. ( a very tall young guy and a older lady who really was attentive). One of our party has a dairy intolerance and it was repeatedly checked to make sure each dish served was correct. They couldn't have done more if they tried. My pizza was really really tasty. Cooked to perfection. We really enjoy using reward points to reduce the bill. The toilets were clean (unlike another Pizza Express I had to complain about). A very enjoyable meal/experience and the staff really do add to it.

We had a great lunch today, food was as we expected, however what made this visit better than normal, is the staff, I don't know the name of the waiter that I managed to knock all the plates of food out of his hand and send the garlic and herd dip flying over other customers, but he was great, I was mortified, he sorted everything out and pacified all the other customer, the manager was great to. I didn't get his name either, we were in on the 31st of August at around 2pm I'd that helps. Please praise them. Thanks again

I usually like pizza express, but on this occasion was not good. We booked, staff were slow to greet us, we wanted to sit outside, however we were not allowed to sit in seat we pointed out even though table was clear and ready. We sat outside on a table that we could sit at, only to have a drip keep dropping onto the table from a pipe above. We asked to move, and a different waiter moved us to the table that we original asked to sit at. Service was slow, taking order, delivering drinks and it seemed to take forever to get out pizzas whilst we could see every one getting theirs who arrived after us. Food was ok but nothing special. This really spoilt my sons birthday meal, and ended up paying circa £80 for four pizzas and a couple of drinks for the displeasure.

We happened to walk past this restaurant and decided we'd go in there. We were greeted warmly inside and shown to our table. Then one of the very friendly employees came and took our order. The food came relatively quickly and we didn't expect much. But when we tried it, we were simply surprised at how delicious a pizza can actually be. The location was also very good, right at the harbor. That's why I give it 5 stars. I recommend everyone who is ever in Portsmouth to go to this very good restaurant.

I would give no stars if possible. We were waiting for a table on Monday at Gunwharf. There were lots of tables available outside, staff kept walking past and just ignoring us. A male staff member then walked past and abruptly shouted to move to the side and out of the way. We were standing by the sign 'please wait here to be seated' sign. The attitude and behaviour of the staff member totally shocked and appalled us. We left and enjoyed an amazing meal at All Bar One instead.

Lovely waiter and waitress. Extortionate prices. Charged approx. £15 for a double JD & Coke. They are charging a double at the same rate as a single, not displaying prices on menu. On querying they have stated they only have one option in their new system so have to charge them at full single rates. Happy to pay prices if expectations are aligned or prices displayed. All other places in GWQ do not charge in this way or avoid placing spirit prices and billing practices on the menu. The food was OK but we paid £105 for 3 pizzas and 4 drinks. Could’ve gone to Blanc for these prices and had some quality food.

Tried the French Doner Kebab for takeaway and it did not disappoint! The kebab was packed with flavor — juicy meat, doner kebab, and the perfect balance of sauces. The portion size was generous, making it great value for money. the experience even better was the staff — super friendly and welcoming, even during a busy rush. You can tell they care about their customers. Definitely coming back for another round! Highly recommend if you’re craving a tasty, satisfying shishkebab with great service.
