Frequent Pizza Express alot and the Derbion branch is probably the worst for customer service. Everything seems such a chore to the staff. Hard for them to come and greet you, hard for them to raise a smile. Never get asked if we'd like another drink. No complaints about the food, just the employees.

A good meal, nicely cooked. But a very important operational observation- there were several flashing lights that could cause an epileptic fit. Should be repaired ASAP

Dire!! Unfortunately this place was such a let down..we were a table of 8 , food arrived at different times. We weren't asked if we wanted any more drinks, throughout our meal , weren't asked if we wanted desert afterwards... has to chase the bill.. Food took ages and was very underwhelming Absolutely poor!!

Absolutely amazing after our previous visit to the Irongate branch. We went with slight trepidation. Service was fantastic, friendly and helpful. Sorry, I can’t remember our waiter’s name but we were on table 14. Food was amazing, no faults at all. My husband’s pizza was tweaked to his liking with no fuss or bother. All orders taken from memory which I think is brilliant. Then again that’s probably my age as I wouldn’t remember after 30 seconds.

Well, I would be writing here what an absolute blast my daughter & her friends had today - if I hadn't have been rung THE NIGHT BEFORE (Sat 22nd July 2023) @ 8pm, cancelling the party, after initially receiving an email to say that everything was confirmed. It was the Pizza Express @ the Irongate restaurant. 8pm!!!! On a Saturday night! What the hell was I supposed to do / rearrange in that time??! If I'd have heard sooner in the day, then fair enough, but 8pm...an absolute joke. My daughter overheard the conversation & was really upset I do hope that we receive something in return for the inconvenience?? Vouchers? Free pizza? Absolutely ridiculous

I’ve always been a fan of Pizza Express.. until last night. It was absolutely dreadful. We were a party of 6, out for my Sister in Laws birthday. Every single pizza that came out was burnt to a crisp! I though one of us would end up at the emergency dentist with a broken tooth! They didn’t taste fresh at all! The frozen pizzas I buy from Tesco are better! My husband had the garlic prawn pizza, there was two prawns on it and no garlic. I had the goats cheese pizza with not a piece of goats cheese in sight! We were passed the Dessert Menu only to be told half of the desserts weren’t available. The service wasn’t much better either! Our server was less than helpful and clearly wanted to be anywhere else other than there (but then again, who could blame her) Overpriced and terrible service. My father in law picked up the bill so not sure if we were charged Service Charge. Avoid this restaurant and if it’s Pizza Express you really want, take the short walk up to Irongate and try the Pizza Express up there instead

Hands down it has to be the best service we have ever had in a Pizza Express. We booked the table online and even though we arrived the early our table was ready. Our waitress was very friendly and polite. The whole service was so quick pretty much straight after we got our drinks our starters arrived. It wasn't long after our ta le was cleared from the starters our mains were at the table. Everything was cooked fresh and pippin hot. Such a great service and whatvyou would expect when eating out and paying for a nice famiky meal. Others should be taking a thing or 2 from the staff here.

Firstly I’d like to start with a positive our two pizzas were lovely, we really enjoyed them, although I would avoid the halloumi bites, they’re basically half a handful of crumbs for an extortionate price. Our main complaint stands with the rude waitress, who didn’t even show us to our table she ran ahead and threw the menus on a random table and walked off before we even managed to sit down. When she eventually took our order we ordered fizzy drinks as well as a glass of water for the table. This, sadly, never arrived. The food came out quick but we wasn’t once asked how it was. When the waitress took our plates away, again she never asked, instead she presented us with an attitude and no manners. We did want a desert but we weren’t asked and my partner wanted to leave by this point. To top it off we then had to chase the bill. Great pizza, shame about the staff.

We had a lovely meal last Friday evening. We chose to use the ‘starter and main for £11.95’ menu and it was really good value for money! We ordered the garlic bread, tomato salad and the dough balls, with an extra of the prawns. Then for mains we had the tomato pasta, bolognaise and a carbonara pizza on a classic base. All the food was very tasty and came out quickly. Our waitress, Laura was brilliant and we can’t thank her enough for making our night enjoyable, especially telling us all about Derby Feste! Would definitely return!

Visited a few times and always very good. Service a little slow as can get very busy at peak times which is why I have not given it 5 stars but staff work hard. Big restaurant so never had to book. Food is typical pizza express but always hot and decent portions. Worth searching for offers online as quite often some deals on. Kids enjoy it with a child's menu and activity set to keep them occupied whilst waiting for food.

We went for a meal and had an average starter and main - plates were cold and so the pizza went cold quickly. Glasses were dirty with lipstick stains and the knifes and forks were dirty too. I had the Sticky Toffee Bundt Cake for pudding which was meant to be served hot - the waitress told us it would take 10-15 mins in the oven, but when it arrived it was cold in the middle. When I mentioned this to the waitress she said it was because I had been to the toilet... if served hot it would not go cold in the 2 mins I was in the toilet. She mentioned this to the manager who rolled his eyes and then offered to heat it up again. When the waitress returned the same pudding had been placed in the oven with the ice cream still on so it melted all over the pudding. The pudding was still cold in the middle though so they probably didn’t even reheat it, and it was difficult to get the manager’s attention as he tried to avoid us. Eventually I mentioned that for £6.95 a cold sticky toffee pudding with melted ice cream is not acceptable - he offered to make a new one but after the uncomfortable looks from the other staff who thought we were being difficult we decided to leave it and they refunded the cold pudding which was not eaten. I will not be visiting again and was very disappointed with how rude the staff were, making comments behind our backs and making us feel awkward and unwelcome. I generally like pizza express, however some of the restaurants I have been to are poor - if you want to go to pizza express in Derby I recommend the Irongate one it is much better.

We had dough balls and mozzarella and tomato salad to start which was nice, but the plates weren’t cleared before the main courses came out! Food is always nice but I feel the service could be a little more attentive! We had a voucher for starter and main for £10.95pp which I think is reasonable for what we had!

My husband treated me to a night out and we thought we would go to pizza express and then the pictures. What a mistake!! We had to wait to be seated even though it was pretty empty. And then we sat there waiting for nearly 10 minutes to order a drink, when the food eventually arrived what a disaster, my husband had the sloppy Giuseppe pizza which he said was really good, I had the pollo pesto pasta which I have had many times at other branches but this was our first visit to the derby branch. All I can say is awful, the pasta was bland and burnt, there were pieces that I couldn’t eat as they were black. When the waiter finally came to take our plates he looked at my plate where I had left some of the worst pieces and he didn’t even ask if we had enjoyed our meal!! If we hadn’t been in such a rush as we were going to the pictures I would have left the meal. I won’t return and I wouldn’t recommend either. The service was terrible and the meal was was very poor.

I have visited Pizza Express before in Derby at the other location in Iron Gate. Having said this due to the fact this operation is a corporate chain I would say my comments apply to all branches. On my previous visits to Pizza Express I have rather unsurprisingly eaten pizza. Whilst this has been at best average it is what I have expected. In my eyes a pizza, no matter where it comes from, is pretty standard junk food. On my latest visit to the Pizza Express in the Intu Centre I ordered lasagne for around £12.00 and a bottle of white wine for around £17.00. The staff were efficient and friendly, I received my wine at the table in a couple of minutes in a cooler. Some ten minutes later my lasagne was delivered. It looked pretty sad to be honest. Served in a black dish it was piping hot and still bubbling. Whilst the presentation was acceptable the product itself was awful. For £12.00 the lasagne was slightly larger than my hand. In depth it was no more than a centimetre and a half of which most was pasta with very little sauce. It rapidly sank as it cooled. Taste was fairly standard for a lasagne. To be honest a £1 frozen lasagne from Iceland would have been a better product at a vastly reduced price. The wine was acceptable but no better than a £5 bottle from Sainsbury's. A very poor meal overall and I will not be returning. I'd go as far as to say it was a rip-off. I have awarded 2 stars only for the fact the staff were working hard and were friendly.

Good food as usual, service was prompt and food arrived very quickly too. Maybe the service was a little too prompt; we opted not to look at the dessert menus but rather finish our drinks. However the bill was placed on the table almost immediately after our plates had been cleared. We hadn’t asked for it, we were still drinking and therefore found it slightly rude. A cue that we’d over-stayed our welcome by not having desserts?

I really didn't think they would say yes but by allowing us to do this we ate with them and were very happy customers.

Anyway we were seated, I noticed a couple of serviette's on the floor around our table. We then waited nearly 15 minutes for someone to come over to take our drinks order. By this time we were very hungry and had decided what we would like to order. Finally we ordered. Our drinks came quickly and not long behind we're our pizzas. I ordered the gluten free pizza which was very wet and not crispy at all which was a shame. It was ok. Don't think we'll go back for a while.

I request a white wine spritzer and was surprised that I would have to pay for a bottle of soda water! So decided to have just the wine, pinot grigio which was lovely but at £6.90 for a 250ml glass I thought expensive. The service did get better and we were served with our lunch quickly. Very disappointed with my Nisoise salad small amount of tinned tuna, anchovies and just salad greens 4 pieces of cucumber, I request no tomatoes. The bread which came with it was lovely but as I am trying to diet had just a small amount. Therefore I came away hungry and had paid £11.10 for my pathetic salad! No meal check or opportunity to express my disappointment and as I was catching up with my friend I didn't want to make a fuss. Won't be going back.

Amazing team and great manager, the best La Reine I've ever had with plenty of topping and well cooked! Dough Balls were lovely too! The toilets are very roomy and clean. There are a lot of spacious tables and it's a pleasant restaurant.

We visited on a Saturday Night at peak time, but the restaurant was almost empty. Food was mediocre, my pasta pollo was bland, could of done with some spice! My family were happy though. Pleasant staff.

We are a family of four, and ordered a starter of dough balls and garlic bread, four American classics along with two alcoholic drinks and two soft drinks coming to a total of £70, this was a rip off, none of us were full when we had finished and had to buy snacks on the way home.

We have been frequenting pizza express for many years and sadly the quality of food, particularly the portions of toppings and ingredients in very expensive salads have become increasingly poor ( and lacking the variation of the description ) to the point they are shocking and we felt totally ripped off. The poor waiting staff have to look you in the eye and try to justify what they know is poorer and poorer quality over time.

Food good as usual. Really helpful about accommodating our seven week old granddaughter by finding us a quiet corner. Ten out of ten.

Lovely fresh food served by friendly and helpful staff.Visited for late lunch on a week day so it wasn't too busy.Saw cooks tasting dishes on one of the table which was good to see as must take pride in what they serve up and want to get it tasting the best they can.

My friend wanted to treat me to a nice lunch. Ordered a Marguerita Pizza and was more than disappointed. The case was so thin it could have been described a warmed up wrap. The tomato base looked like it had been added and then scraped off. Four plastic pieces of cheese we plopped on top.

Out of all the restaurants in Intu, chose Pizza Express as had eaten here before. However, found the menu quite limited and wished I had gone elsewhere so that I could have had a wider choice. Service initially very good but surprised that as soon as I said I did not want a dessert I was offered the bill (still had half a glass of wine left) - just made me feel a little rushed.

Six of us visited Pizza Express for a family birthday. We found the food to be good but the service was on the slow side. One of the orders brought to our table was incorrect but they didn't take too long to remedy the situation. We also used a 2for1 pizza voucher found online.

I've been to several pizza express restaurants and always enjoyed the food. Last week was the first time we tried this particular pizza express. Unfortunately the food was disappointing. My pizza was very burnt, the edges and middle of the base were not edible and ruined the flavour of the pizza. They were busy but the pizzas are not cheap so they really need to have some one checking the food that's about to be served. We won't be eating here again.

Our previous visit to a different Pizza Express did not impress us. It is good to say that this one has renewed our opinion. The service and the food was good; the waiter was efficient and friendly and the surroundings were modern and pleasant. Generally a good experience. We visited lunch time and it was very busy, as was the shopping centre, so on busy days get there early.

Usually we use the Pizza Express in the Cathedral Quarter, which I have to say has a much nicer ambience.

Pizza express is a great place to take the children in the holidays. Unfortunately I recently had a bad meal here. This has persuaded me not to return. The pizza I ordered was about £11 which I thought was expensive. As I was eating out with my boyfriend I thought I would order something that expensive as a treat even though it was cheese and tomato. The pizza was burned and because of that I had to leave about half of the £11 pizza. I took look on Trip Advisor to see if other people food has looked like this. As the pictures did not appear to look like my pizza I have come to the conclusion that they must have been so busy with the school that they messed up one pizza. Other than the pizza we ordered the dough balls these were very nice and tasty. Although it might be one mistake that anyone can make I don't think I will be returning.

Our final visit to the Bonnie Prince before it closes and becomes a Hickory Smokehouse. Great service from the staff as always, especially April. So helpful and makes sure everything is 100% right and everyone is happy. Great to hear we will see her again at the Merlin in the future

Tried this place a few times, most recently in Dec 2024. This place is great value for money as the portions are large. Mango lassi was nice. Starters and mains are ok. Parking is an issue, but this is a good size restaurant suitable for families. Fish curry was nice.

Ordered a beef curry which was part of a "specials deal" what I got certainly wasn't a beef curry,since when do you get beansprouts and grated carrot, amongst other strange things in a Chinese curry?,safe to say it went in the bin,nothing short of disgusting,I used to use this place quite regular,but never again
