First visit to this Pizza Express after a spot of shopping in the Designer Outlet Village. Clean and airy restaurant and friendly, efficient staff. It wasn't busy and we were seated and served quickly. The food was very nice...we both had Leggera pizzas.

Did some work here and was offered a pizza for half price so I went for a small classic garlic prawn pizza which was soo tasty as all the food at pizza expresses are with Super fresh ingredients and always piping hot. The staff here are the friendliest I’ve worked for and are just the same to every customer that comes through the door. Food arrived very quickly and the place is run like a tight ship. All the staff and manageress are a credit to Pizza express. They all turn up smart keep the place clean and are very polite and professional.

The food tastes amazing. I just want to say a big thank you to Caz. Caz was absolutely fantastic. When we walked in, it was a little busy, so we had to wait a few minutes before getting seen. When Caz approached us, she was so apologetic. She then showed us to our table, asked us about allergies and dislikes and if we were a part of the reward club. She took our drinks order and said she would be back in a few minutes for our meal order. When she came back, she was so helpful when i wanted to add extra’s to my pizza. She suggested I could do half and half, that way could have the best of both. She answered my partners question when it came to the pizza he wanted. In between taking our order, she was making lovely small talk and having a little laugh. After a few minutes, Caz came back and explained that they had ran out of an ingredient for one of our starters. Again, she was very apologetic, giving us different options which was great. After the meal and when it was time to pay, Caz explained that we weren’t getting charged for the starter due to the fact that there was a missing ingredient. That was very nice of her to do that. Caz really did make our meal out memorable. We will definitely be back.

Visited your restaurant on Monday. It was obvious it had been very busy and the restaurant was short staffed on the day of our visit. Yet we had excellent service from our waiter Davidsean. He was very attentive and made sure our experience was enjoyable. Would like to say a big thank you to Caz as she was also attentive and friendly. Will be back again soon for sure!

We came as part of a huge Christmas party and the staff were helpful and friendly and the service was fast. Everyone got their food close together so no one was left waiting for ages for their food and the complex dietary requirement in our group were dealt with discreetly and perfectly. It would have been nice to have sat the tables a bit closer together as we were very spread out but the pizza plates are so big it is a necessity.

We had a fantastic experience on Sunday. Alana looked after us. She was so friendly and helpful. Our 10 month old daughter spilt my husbands drink, and she was straight over to clear it up and replace the drink FOC. Alana helped us with the app to ensure we got the special offers. The chef was happy to make something a little off menu, i wanted the garlic prawn on a base that wasn’t on the menu but he done it for me. Actually, it wasn’t just Alana who was amazing - all staff interacted with our children, checked everything was ok and in general just made us feel really welcome. Thanks everybody we will definitely be back :)

Very disappointed. Visited with my son on a Sunday afternoon. The server was very polite and brought drinks and starter promptly. Despite the restaurant being quite quiet, we had to wait a further 50 minutes for the food to arrive. Half of the pizza was luke warm and the rest cold. Did not enjoy at all. How does it take so long to make one cold pizza?

Visited this evening with my family and whilst the food was nice, the service was terrible. We were sat down and ordered quite quickly but then as it started getting busier our waitress disappeared into thin air. Other staff were busy and serving customers well but sadly we weren't sat on one of their tables. By the time our mains came we were sat surrounded by dirty tables covered in plates - 6 out of the 8 empty tables around us. These never got cleaned the entire time we were there. A couple were sat on the table behind us. After 30 minutes they gave up waiting to order drinks or food and walked out. We sat with empty plates in front of us for 40 minutes before we finally managed to get the attention of our waitress to order desserts for our children. When she came back with those, she even bother to clear the dirty plates! Went to the desk to pay and she eventually stopped playing with the stickers to come take our payment. She tried to get us to pay the wrong bill and asked if we wanted to leave a tip - what a joke! Won't be rushing back which is a shame as its always been good in the past.

I was running late for my booking at 3.30pm. I called to say I would be running late and could I pre-order my meals as I was on a long journey. Nothing was too much trouble. I was 20 minutes late for my table and within 5 minutes of being seated the food pre-ordered was on the table for four people! I can’t tell you how impressed I was. The service was some of the best I have ever had and I eat out A LOT! This experience has made me fully brand loyal to Pizza Express and the restaurant is a credit to your chain! Top, top marks!

We had a lovely meal here this evening. As a family with 3 kids we always head to Pizza Express as the food is excellent and prices are reasonable - the set menu for the kids is especially excellent, and they love the colouring sheets/activities that are always provided. Wanted to say a special thank you to the staff though: they were very attentive and friendly, and extremely patient and good humoured with my 3 indecisive children!

This was our second visit in the last 12 months and both visits have been pretty consistent. Good professional service and a clean establishment. We were served very quickly and in a friendly manner. My wife is gluten free so we shared a pizza. The pizza was lovely and fresh but the cost of one pizza and two lattes came to just over £22. I agree with a previous review that it's certainly not value for money and overpriced. Shall be looking for somewhere else when visiting the Outlet Village

Arrived to find 1 waitress and 1 manager on shift. Was told the wait for food would be 40 minutes which we agreed to as this was fine. However 30 minutes passed and we had still not ordered drinks or our meals. To make matters worse multiple tables who came in after us were served before us after trying to get the waitresses attention multiple times. Feel as though we were being ignored. Will not return, not a welcoming environment. Walked out.

We’ve been here many times, and always had a lovely meal. Unfortunately this time, the food service was quite slow. I definitely felt like the portion sizes had reduced, but the price has definitely gone up. Sadly it’s now far too expensive for a casual family treat, we’d need to head elsewhere.

It’s a bit of a faff if you want to take up the offer of free garlic bread. Download the app then bits and bobs in there knowing that you will be bombarded with emails etc then have to show the waitress this at checkout. Everyone in your party must download the app to receive the freebie’s. Can’t fault the food though.

On my first visit to this Pizza Express I had arranged to meet a friend inside out of the cold, and sat at a window table until she arrived a couple of minutes later. A waitress marched across to ask me if I had just sat down without being directed to a table which I had done without thinking. She then chastised me saying I should not have sat down and was supposed to wait at the door. The restaurant was practically empty and remained this way with perhaps four tables occupied throughout our stay and yes it was my mistake. I was embarrassed that the waitress felt the need to correct me in front of my friend and the few diners there present. I am a pensioner and the waitress was perhaps in her mid 20s. Not the best approach to customer service, a most unwelcoming greeting. The other waitresses who served us were pleasant, no complaints about the food.

Although we did not have a booking, the owners managed to accommodate us even though it was busy. People providing negative comments about this restaurant must be on a different planet! The food and service were faultless. The portions were generous and freshly prepared and cooked. The pesto pasta with pine nuts and garlic was fantastic, as was the Napoli. The homemade desserts were amazing - we had the tiramisu and the lemon tart. Would highly recommend a visit if you are in Moffat. Probably best to book!

This restaurant is an absolute gem! We visited there for dinner and the food was amazing! Huge portions and authentic American tastes! Though the food should be the star and it was we have to send special thanks to Cameron who went over and above the fantastic service we received. He actually took us back to our hotel in his own car as we couldn’t get a taxi. He offered straight away to take us to our hotel which was over and above anything I’ve ever received in a restaurant! In a nutshell if you want a fantastic meal with fantastic staff then do yourself a favour and visit The Hitchen Post you won’t be disappointed! Once again thanks to Cameron for a wonderful meal and a very much needed lift home!

I have had some good Italian food but the balsamic and small details in the food are great. The wine menu is okay but this is a little town and would it be worth it. Dessert was good too, personal choice would be sharper lemons on the cheesecake, but that is just me! Well done! Great food and you know your market.
