Fantastic service and food! We were a very large group of 19 and couldn’t recommend this pizza express enough for large party. Everything ordered came and was delicious. Waitress was Deliah, and was so helpful and friendly. Fantastic evening to celebrate my daughters birthday Thank you

Terrible service, got a takeaway on the way back home to Warminster, half way back realised we were missing a drink and one of our starters, no one told us our food was ready even though we said where we were sat down waiting, so the pizza was Luke warm, horrendous service

Nothing different here and the standard Pizza Express menu, so you know what you are getting. However both the salad and pizza we ordered were well presented and promptly. The staff were helpful without being overbearing. All together a good experience when you 'need to eat'!

Food was good as always and our waitress was lovely, however the manager was rude. Whilst waiting for our food, a large party turned up who were then seated. The manager informed us that our waitress was serving the big table so if we needed anything, to ask him. had a voucher code that needed to be scanned before printing the bill, so with this in mind, I went in to show someone the QR code before asking for our bill. I found the manager, (who had said to go to him if we needed anything), who looked at me as if he was happy to help - however, when I showed him the voucher, he rudely replied: 'we are serving 30 people right now can you wait'. While I understand that the staff cannot be in two places at once, I don't think it's acceptable to speak to paying customers in that manner. Especially by the manager who is supposed to be setting an example. Not to mention, other than the big table the rest of the restaurant was almost empty, and there were several front of house staff members. I will not be returning to this pizza express.

Came here during the week for a very late lunch. Restaurant was very quiet. Ordered La Reine Pizza, which was very tasty with a fantastic choice of topics. Served very hot which was excellent. Pizza is reasonably filling and very good value for money. The waitress who attended to us was absolutely lovely, very friendly and cheerful and did not make us feel rushed at at all to order. Felt we could take our time being here. Very relaxed atmosphere. We sat in the outside seating of the restaurant, which is very nice, however, this area would be much improved if there was some soft background music playing to give a bit of ambience when the restaurant is quiet.

We went to bornemouth for a few nights , but didn't realise you had to book most restaurants to get a table. We tried various places , then came to this pizza express. We spoke to Damien (think this was his name) who was meeting and greeting and checking bookings. He said he was full , but went to check and after a bit of jiggling managed to fit us in ,2 adults and 2 children . So thank you . We also had good food, the pizza was lovely , kids enjoyed it and friendly staff . So yes worth a visit .

we stooped for tea. restaurant sadly empty, bar a few other eaters, like most restaurants at present- i hope they survive.two pizzas and a canneloni. all came very quickly.almost too quickly?? i wonder if mine was 'pinged'? could've been a bit hotter as well. puddings were that of a chain and predictable, but tasty enough. staff were friendly and attentive. nice decor, but lacked atmosphere, but that was because it was empty.

Went here with my friend for some food. Ordered pasta bolognese and garlic bread. The portion was very small half the size of the bowl, the pasta dish tasted unusual and bland and not like a pasta dish and the meat was watery. I also ordered garlic bread which didn’t even taste like garlic bread, dull tasting and no garlic. I’m so unhappy and I complained to the waitress about my meal yet nothing was done and she didn’t really seem to care. Meal was not worth the £26.00 I spent on just myself. The only thing that was worth it was the wine. My friend is also super unhappy because her meal was small and burnt around the edges. She also paid a good amount of money. Will not be visiting again unless manager or someone from the company can resolve this. Also flys flying everywhere around the restaurant very off putting and quite frankly disgusting.

A principios de marzo antes del cierre. El gobierno ya había emitido algunas pautas en este punto, sin embargo, la mesera siguió acercándose y se puso en contacto con nosotros en varias ocasiones con sus manos, lo que no fue apreciado ni apropiado dadas las circunstancias. Mientras otros miembros del personal se mantenían a distancia, ella se acercó a ellos y siguió abrazándolos, no es profesional y ciertamente no es bienvenido debido a covid 19.

Went to this PizzaExpress the other night before going to the theatre.The staff and service was excellent and the layout was very roomy and much nicer than some of the older ones.If they have taken your favourite pizza off the menu, they will still make it for you.Like my one is called “FOUR SEASONS” it was as good as ever.

Quite simply, this is my favourite Pizza Express, reinforced even more by a visit last month to one out of the area that was poor in comparison. Why does this Pizza Express work so well? I think it is the layout- it's nicely decorated and inviting, the food is consistently good and the staff are always so nice. Ok, it is just a pizza place- but it's a good one. It offers good value for money, cheerful staff and I've never had bad food from here.When we visited the other day it was quite early, so not busy at that point. We had booked but were early but that wasn't an issue. We used o2 priority codes which make the meal a bargain. We asked about the offer and whether they allowed you to pay extra to upgrade your pizza to Romana's ( as the one we visited out of the area didn't) The guy explained that they do and that some won't as they are all franchised. We had a friendly waitress take our order and drinks arrived quickly, shortly followed by our meals. I had the Padana Romana which is a fave of mine and my husband had a Diavolo Romana. Hubby had asked for half the amount of cheese on his and they got it spot on. Both pizzas were really tasty and we enjoyed them. It was getting busy as we were eating but the staff seemed really attentive to everyone and the place had a nice atmosphere. Perfect to grab a bite before the cinema. With our code, our meals and drinks came to £20- bargain. We'll be back- even without codes, it's a laid back place to eat with lovely staff.

Absolutamente un montón de salsa de tomate, demasiado y era muy aguada y demasiado picante. Una pena ya que estropeó la comida.Afortunadamente, el servicio fue excelente, por lo que fue un tiempo lo suficientemente agradable y tuvimos la oferta de suricata, así que ayudó a no tener que pagar el precio completo cuando la comida no era la mejor.El servicio, el ambiente, la limpieza fueron fabulosos, ¡una lástima de la pizza!

Visited this branch before attending a concert, the menu is the same as every other PE but I have to compliment the service received. The place was fairly busy but the servers were extremely friendly, very attentive and seemed genuinely concerned that our dining was up to standard. There is a difference between good service that is 'forced' and good service that is real.

Wrong order arrived (let's be honest it's not rocket science to get a pizza order correct), second attempt was an undercooked soggy pizza with an egg dumped on top. It was one of those ocassions where you think i should cut my losses and head elsewhere but we perserved in vein. Pleasant staff, but get the basic food product right is a must. Bill was discounted when i made my comments known, but i would much rather have paid for a decent product that hasnt chaged in 30 years. Personally we will never go back to this particular restaurant.

The food despite not being my thing was over all quite good, however myself and others were very disappointed that we could not obtain any mayo of a y description.

We have been to pizza express countless times but this visit was extra special as we tried the new mushroom and pine nut vegan pizza which we were impressed was being advertised on the board outside the restaurant. We had had a bad experience with a different restaurant earlier that day while visiting Bournemouth and were relieved to have great service and delicious food here to make our last evening here a positive one. We ordered the jackfruit pizza too and had half each - a very good idea! So grateful and happy that a chain restaurant provides us vegans with such delicious food!!

Pizza Express is Pizza Express, it isn’t going to blow your socks off, but it is in my eyes a solid, reliable chain. Went here recently as part of a large group and for the most part the size of the party did not faze them. Admittedly the starters came out in dribs and drabs but all of the mains were pretty much served together. Drinks service was also a bit patchy, with orders getting forgotten.

Below average food in a beautiful location. The BH2 is a lovely area. The food here was average at best. My kids love the dough balls. Pizza is below average. I had a salad and it was awful.

My friend and I had lunch at this branch of Pizza Express today as we have always enjoyed eating at the restaurant chain. On this occasion, whilst the food was excellent, the service was appalling. There was only one other table occupied so the staff were hardly rushed off their feet. We stood and waited and waited and waited for someone to appear & show us to a table, eventually the chef took pity on us & seated us. I had to fetch the menus myself. After some considerable time a waiter sauntered over & took our order. The staff seemed to have friends visiting (not eating) who were far more important than the - very few - customers. That level of service continued throughout the meal, I have never experienced anything like it at any other branch of Pizza Express but if this is the norm at BH2 its no wonder they were almost deserted.

Service was excellent and Nicole?, plus both male servers were extremely friendly, helpful and great with the kids. The waitress was really helpful regarding making alterations to a pizza for our teenage daughter and the food came very promptly. Kids menu as always was great for our little boy - it's lovely they offer a starter for them so they can join in a full meal. We had a fantastic sharing Antipasto, plus Calamari for our daughter and swapped the sauce at her request. All our Pizzas were really tasty. They even brought over a brownie with a candle in for my husband's birthday. Great food and a bargain with Tesco Clubcard picking up the majority of the bill.

We were running late because we’d struggled to park but managed to find a table at Pizza Express in the BH2 complex. The staff here were amazing, all were extremely helpful and friendly. The absolute shining star of the restaurant was our waitress Nicole. She was literally running from our table to the kitchen to make sure we got our food quickly so we wouldn’t be late to the BIC. As well as this she was attentive to all her other tables at the same time and nothing was too much to ask.

Booked a table for eight in the restaurant in the new complex. Although not full, found the acoustics bad which made conversation difficult. Ordered a Romana gluten free as at another restaurant this had been thin, crispy with a good amount of topping. Regrettably last night's pizza was barely cooked with just a smear of topping. Not worth complaining about as wanted to leave asap due to headache. Unable to get WiFi connection.

Being a chain restaurant, I was hoping for an ok meal. However, the team here really do deserve a huge amount of recognition for making it a wonderful evening out. They found a comfortable space for us that was suitable for a restess toddler, were attentive and went above and beyond. When they saw how much my 3 yr old was enjoying his olives (and polishing off everyone else's!), they took his pizza away and topped it up with more olives. He was so happy and relaxed there which made it all the more enjoyable for us. On top of that, the vegan options and staff knowledge were spot on. Makes such a difference to have a meal I can enjoy and not just opt for chips and salad.

Went twice to this branch this week, both times the good was excellent and the service good too. One mistake with mains on one visit which was rectified and compensated for. The kids packs are very good - they come with chefs hats and stickers - my kids wore the hats all through themeal. Both meals were eaten during early evening and the restaurant was fairly quiet but it still felt like a warmer atmosphere than I've found in some other pizza express branches.

Visited for a quick lunch during my break at work. Was welcomed by the door and told I could sit wherever I wanted (unusual for restaurants but a good way to please a customer!). Was worried the food would take long as I only had an hour but I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived within 10 min of order. My waitress was lovely and came for a quick chat which I really enjoyed. I asked her for food recommendation and she was very helpful - informed me the pizza I was considering was very spicy. Upon politely asking her if the chefs would be able to remove the spice she assured me it was not a problem and did not hear the chefs complain either (I was sat very close to the kitchen). The pizza was a very large size for a main for one so i'd say the value for money was also good. Ate a 3/4 before being full and the waitress said not to worry and brought me a takeaway box to bring the leftovers home with me - minimising waste which I loved! When I finished I went thank the chef for taking the spice out ; he was very kind and explained how he made It to suite my taste and make it sweet. Overall, the food was great but does not beat the excellent customer service!

I went here becuse I had a Clubcard voucher to spend. This Pizza Express was newly opened so I thought I would try it. I walked in ewithout a booking and was given a choice of table, so I set outside overlooking the Mall. The waitresses and waiter that served me were exceptionally friendly and helpful. This turned my solo visit into a very pleasant experience.

Prezzo is a bit of a regular - great food at a reasonable price. The restaurant was quite busy and it wasn’t the first time we’ve felt that the serving staff were a little overwhelmed. They were working very hard but just not enough of them. Too much of a wait - and it was clear that other tables were also suffering with delays. Food was excellent as always and we do love going to prezzo - and we weren’t in a hurry but the ‘speed’ of service was painful.

Went there with my wife to celebrate both of our Birthdays. She booked a table for us, but when we went to the restaurant, we were given a table which we didn't like really. We preferred a table close to the windows and although there were quite a few free tables, the owner (I think he might be the owner because he was acting like that) was rude and didn't give us a choice to sit in a table we liked. However, we decided to order starters. I ordered a Calamari Fritti, and it looked nice and all but was flavourless and bland. Then for the mains I got a spaghetti vongole. I don't know why but that came bland and flavourless as well, just some spaghetti with no cream or whatsoever. Actually my stomach felt really bad after the dinner as well. But the dishes my wife ordered were OK tho. The waiting staff were actually really good and kind! But the one who's incharge of bookings, who I think might be the owner, was rude and didn't know how to serve his customers. Worst italian restaurant I've been to in Dorset.

The restaurant is comfortable and in a good location in Westbourne. The pricing was very good. Unfortunately only 2 out of the 4 from our party enjoyed their meals. The 'piquante' pasta had no heat and seemed to be a tomatoe sauce pasta with lumps of sausage. the chicken pesto ciabbata was dry. The burgers and chips were ok though. we saw some english breakfasts go past that looked good.
