I went there with my daughter for late lunch after her school. Waitress was so confused about what she doing there…. There was only 2 tables with people. Waitress bring me wrong Dough balls— some new one 🤷♀️ I return them, because we like classic. I order single ecspreso and I receive only small cup with coffee— nothing else —- no plate or spoon,sugar — just like a home 👀 Coffee was after our starter of course, she brings drinks, starter and then coffee…. When they swerved our pizzas they don’t give us any plates. On the end I wait for her more that 15 minutes to pay the bill - also she charge me twice for Dough Balls. Look like famous brand PIZZA EXPRESS don’t have enough money to the in their employees. This girl was in sleepy mode 🤭

Where do we begin…. Unpleasant service right from the start. The start being 20 minutes after we actually arrived (the restaurant was basically empty and we still waited for what felt like an eternity). The staff eventually greeted us with a struggling grin, then plonked us on a table with no offer for water or even a single word. After a 20 minute wait and not a glimpse of eye contact, we decided to spend our money on gorgeous chicken at Nando’s (the food came in 5mins!).

The worst pizza’s ever and the worst customer service they provide. They made us wait for over an hour and still our pizza was burnt and could not even eat the artichokes as they were like plastic. Can’t recommend this to anyone ever.

Hilariously bad service. I came here about a year ago and the service was shocking then but I just shrugged it off as maybe they were having a bad day. Went back there today and to my surprise it was exactly the same. No one meets you at the door even though it tells you to wait to be seated. Just grab your own menu and find a seat. The staff will be at the other end of the resturant playing on their phones. If you want your order taking or anything else, like the bill, you're going to have to shout, wave or stand up. What amazes me is there's so many other reviews like this one on here but nothing seems to have changed in the year since I was last there? Is there no management? I would recommend going just to witness how bad the service is. They're not rude, you'd have to say something to be rude. Just might as well not be there. Feels like self service haha. Food does the job.

Beaconsfield services, so paying a premium. Four of us ordered over £100 food. All OK except my prawn & garlic pizza. Ordered extra anchovies and received 4 tiny pieces on the pizza which was suprisingly generously covered in prawns. Pointed this out to supervisor, no manager on duty, and she said that was all they provided for the extra portion. Told her I expected at least double if not treble the amount. She said no, I said I didn't want it, she replied she could cook another £18.00 pizza without any anchovies or I would have to do without. So she threw the £21.00 pizza away rather than add an extra 20-30p worth of anchovies. Mad way to run a restaurant, not only extortionate cost for minute portion, but company policy would prefer to waste food and profit along with disappointing a customer.

I recently dined at Pizza Express and had a mixed experience. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. However, I found the prices to be a bit on the expensive side, and I'm not sure if the quality justified the cost. On the bright side, the ambiance was lovely, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. The staff were also exceptional, providing great service throughout the meal. Overall, while the food was enjoyable, I'm not sure if I would consider it worth the higher prices.

I've been a regular at Pizza Express for quite some time now, and I must say, my recent visit was truly exceptional. The service was impeccable, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a delightful dining experience. It's evident that there's been a positive change in management, as everything from the ambiance to the food quality seemed to have improved. Kudos to the team for their efforts in making this visit memorable. I'll definitely be returning soon!

We waited a while at the front desk for someone to take us to a table. The cheifs kept looking at us and ignoring us. I felt rude having to wave at a waitress to get an order however we were waiting a long time to be served. Our food was ready but was sat on the side for 10 minutes + and I was tempted to grab it but didn’t want to come across rude! Food was finally given to us and it was freezing cold. Wasn’t given a cutter so had to wait to get someone’s attention and waited a while for it just to give us a blunt knife. Tried cutting it but was clearly undercooked so the dough was very tough. For a pizza restaurant i didn’t realise how hard it was to make a margarita pizza. I found it funny watching one waitress go on her phone, look at our food waiting and ignored it. We sent our food back and got another for a replacement which was nice and it came back hot. We got there at around 7:30 and didn’t actually eat until around 9:20. Me and my partner felt as though we were an inconvenience to them. We felt very uncomfortable sending our food back as the waitress was talking about us complaining about the food to the chefs and we could hear the conversation as we were sat right under there’s noses. The toilets were disgusting so I went to the toilets in the actual services bit. Rubbish hanging out the bins and what looked to be a used female toiletry on the floor! We’ve had better service at Mc Donald’s. Won’t be making that mistake again.

We visited on a Sunday lunchtime and it was busy but not packed. We were seated quickly and the service was quick without feeling rushed. The food was tasty and not overpriced compared to similar chains. The drinks were expensive, but similar to other chains. We had a good meal and will go back soon.

Tables dirty and sticky from previous guests, both waitress and chef were MISERABLE. I had to cancel my pizzas as she literally touches every single surface and them with same bare hands touches my food and put that salad etc on my pizza. Disgusting dirty chef who is dirty hands and doesn't cross her mind to put gloves on. Ive not seen her in over half hour to wash hand NOT even once! Disgusting lazy chef who doent take health and safety first.

It's the best choice in Beaconsfield Services if you don't want to eat sandwiches from frozen baguettes at Greggs, burgers at McDonald's or frozen croissants from Starbucks. The restaurant was clean even if the food was super basic and the service poor in the conditions in which we were only a few people inside. The only waiter there looked terribly bored.

Went there with my wife and 2 friends. Waited for literally 45 minutes. Nothing was served. There were just a few other people sitting at 2 tables so it wasn’t busy. And they also started complaining as well. Then we paid for the drinks and left there. Absolutely not recommended.

Restaurant was a mess, tables hadn’t been cleared and indeed none were cleared whilst I was there. Place was understaffed and those there were uninterested.

Worst experience in terms of customer service I have ever had in my life. We waited at the front for around 5-7 minutes to be seated whilst the two servers on shift milled around putting things on tables with no acknowledgment of our presence. When one of them finally came over to us they only asked us where we would like to sit, no other words were said. And then for the next 15 minutes we sat at the table with no service. I had to wave at one of them when they finally made eye contact with me, which I found really embarrassing as I didn’t want to be that person that beckons a server over as I find it rude. When they came over to the table I had to ask if we could order because they looked clueless as to why I’d asked them to come over. They then had to go and fetch the “phone” as they called it as they weren’t carrying it on their person, so we could order. We asked for water for the table when placing our food order, as no one had come to take our drinks order, and then we ordered two pizzas and a side. About 15 minutes later our pizzas were brought over to us and we still had no drinks. There was also no cutlery on the table and the glasses were used as they already had remnants of drinks in them. There were dirty knives and forks on our table and it had not been cleaned. I asked the server please can we have the water for the table we ordered, some glasses and some cutlery. The server came back over with cutlery and serviettes. I asked them again please can we have some water for the table and some glasses. The server went over to another table that hadn't been cleared yet, took the water jug off that table, went over to the kitchen, put ice in the jug, filled it from the tap then brought it over to us with two glasses. Earlier on when we were waiting for our food, we witnessed every other table around us (about 3-4 tables) grabbing one of the server's attention as they walked past to ask for service. One table even left after taking their seats because after about 15 minutes no one had visited the table to take even their drinks order. Throughout our time at the table also, as we were sat by the entrance, we saw every group of people who arrived have to wait longer than they should have like we did to be seen to and seated. Some walked off before being seen to because I presume they felt they had waited too long. We also had to get up from the table to ask to pay the bill because no one returned to our table. The second we stood up was the first time we had been paid any notice, probably because they thought we were going to leave without settling up. The pizza was nice but the side wasn't cooked properly. I just have absolutely no idea what was going on in this restaurant, is it because it's at a service station they don't treat their customers the same as they would in one of their normal restaurants? Not a clue. It wasn’t busy either, probably a total of about 6 tables occupied.

The food was good as expected but the service was as always terrible. They need a good manager! The staff were all stood around drinking and laughing. No rush to serve or clear tables. We were not asked if we wanted more drinks, if we had everything that we ordered, if our meals were ok. The kids weren’t offered pencils to do the activities on the menu. We had to ask for our table to be cleared so we could order dessert. Kitchen staff had to repeatedly ask for service as food was sitting waiting to be taken to customers. Very disappointed as the restaurant wasn’t busy the staff just need some organisation and delegation.

It wasn't the best pizza express I went to. Firstly the waitress said whoever has the pizza express club app gets free doughballs whereas what she meant is everyone who signs up on the day, not if you already have it. The food took such a long time. There was a table of 4 next to us who arrived after us, got their food and managed to eat and pay the bill before ours arrived. There was no apology from the staff or explanation why it took so long. Wouldn't go there again

We have just turned up to Beaconsfield Pizza Express at the Services on the M40. Travelled for the past 5 hrs so we are feeling the need for a lovely big meal! It didn't happen! Today was extremely busy on Saturday afternoon but Pizza Express was virtually empty. There were instructions on a notice on every table that you can download their app, put in your table number, get free doughballs (woooo) and order online and pay online. I prefer this method as you are not waiting around for staff to faff about with your order and possibly make mistakes and you can pay straight away and have a computerised account of the meal you have ordered with a paperless transaction. I downloaded the app, put in the table number but that is where it stopped! Done this several times and then had to wait around for this rather miserable waitress without a smile to explain my predicament. She said that I have not ordered yet so the app does not work until you order ??? I can read by the way and I followed instructions perfectly and I said to the unsmiling waitress that the app asked us to put the table number in first - until you have completed this action, you cannot order! She then told me that I have to order and pay through her so I asked why? If this was the case, take off all the notices on all tables and at the entry point of the restaurant, explain that this is waitress services only! I was wondering why the place was so empty as all the other concessions were rammed with people! Needless to say, we enjoyed a lovely meal nearby at a cost of £60 (booked and paid for ONLINE) for the 3 of us and will not be using Pizza express if your advertised online system does not work! Oh, ensure you employ staff that can muster a smile please! It helps with profits...

After a hard ride I took a break at the service station. I wanted to eat pizza and stopped by pizza express. I asked if they do take away. They said they were working. When I was supposed to order and pay for a pizza at the cash register, they asked me for my driver's license. Considering that I did not have a driver's license with me, they refused to accept my order. Without explanation. Typical fascism and discrimination.

Stopped here to grab a quick dinner on the way back from a day out with the family and thought pizza express was a safe bet as in the past the food has always been good. However this particular restaurant was not great , we sat down and the table stank like it had been cleaned with a dirty cloth so we moved tables and the same smell was there paired with sticky seats, the waitress kind of grunted when we mentioned about it. We then left the restaurant after thinking if the tables are anything to go by what is the kitchen like!!

This was a rather mixed experience. Have been to other Pizza express restaurants before and had amazing food. The staff were fairly friendly but could have done better. There was a great choice on the menu as always. The main disappointment was the food. My cannelloni was delicious but mum had the pasta bolognese which she's had in other pizza express restaurants and loved. Here it tasted strongly of liquorice and was almost unedible. My brothers pizza was okay but not particularly hot. We did get the bolognaise for free in the end but the waitress just kept saying that the chef was the best in the whole chain.

After arriving at the restaurant, which was completely empty, a disgustingly unkind woman said that we need to wait 10 minutes for a table because there are currently no tables for 5 people. So we asked for two tables, one for two, the other for 3 people, she said we had to wait the same amount of time. After asking this unpleasant lady about her name in order to complain, she did not give her name and started to talk in Polish. It was around 7pm yesterday. avoid this restaurant!!!

This is probably one of the worst dining out experiences I’ve had. It started well – we arrived at about 7.30 in the evening and were seated quite quickly (it was a quiet night and we were one of maybe 10 tables) and a high chair was brought over for our toddler. After a wait of about 15-20 minutes we placed our order and then we waited And waited And waited For over an hour. Finally our meal arrived – or rather, half of it did. My pizza came along with the toddler’s but my husband’s was nowhere in sight. I asked the waitress about it, who went over to the kitchen to investigate (which we were right next to, coincidentally). She returned to tell us the order for the missing pizza “hadn’t gone through” and was just being made. It should, she said, be with us in 5 minutes, which did raise questions about why we’d waited for the other 2 to arrive. In the meantime, I tucked into my Veneziana pizza. It was missing the olives, which normally I would have asked to be fixed but honestly I didn’t have another hour to wait. Other than that it was kind of fine, but net great and certainly not worth nearly £11. True to their word my husband’s pizza arrived after about five minutes, at which point I asked for the bill because it was now gone 9 and we wanted to get out of there relatively quickly to get to our destination before the middle of the night. The waitress said that was fine and off she went. And we waited Then we waited some more Then I saw her bring the bill to two other tables so on her way back past I asked her again for the bill. No problem, apparently. So we waited. And waited… I tried to catch her eye/attention as she came past but she blanked me about five times. Finally, I managed to get her attention again (by this time, we have all finished eating as well) and asked for the bill again – and I’m sure you can guess where this is going. Now I should say that I suspect we may have not been sitting in her area, but the waiter who originally seated us and took our order was nowhere to be seen throughout all of this. What’s more, at no point did she say it had to be her colleague who would deal with it, only that it’d be “no problem” or “of course” and so on. Back to the waiting. I’d got to the point where I was about to stand up and walk out – wondering whether to get some cash to leave on the table first or just make a bit of a show of ‘leaving’ so the bill and card machine arrive – when as if by magic, the guy who originally seated us and took our order turns up with the bill in hand. I stopped him from leaving because I honestly had maxed out the amount of waiting one person could reasonably do and didn’t trust he’d be back quickly, if ever. The bill was correct and, thankfully, no service charge was added so I didn’t have to ask for it to be taken off. So we were able to get the card machine out, pay and leave pretty quickly. It was, by now, just after 9.30pm. You may think the story would end there, but it doesn’t. Because the following day all three of us were visited by the ‘dodgy stomach fairy’. Could it have been something else we ate? Well no because when it struck me, I hadn’t eaten anything since the previous night and it was the only thing that all of us ate the same thing of. Thankfully, it was a brief encounter but all this is to say I will absolutely never eat there again (and I go past there frequently enough for it to be a relatively regular possibility), I advise others don’t either, and it’s put me off Pizza Express as an option for eating out possibly forever. 0/10, would not recommend.

Food is good. Venue is nice and spacious but service tends to be very slow, irrespective of how quiet it is.

They cater for single visitors (rather commonplace at a service station I'd have thought) extremely well and efficiently. The perfect balance of quick service without feeling as if you're being rushed to get out as quickly as possible. Would certainly visit again.

Really enjoyed the pizza but despite it being nearly empty service was very slow.

Food is good as you'd expect. The service can be a bit hit and miss depending on who is on - the younger staff seem to be more attentive but the more senior staffers less so, oddly. Would hate to see what it's like when they're busy but personal experience has been generally fine.

Do not go to Beconsfield services pizza express I watched my calzone get dropped on the floor my the chef and picked up by him and manager and placed on the plate. When it got served to my table I told the waitress what I saw and she denied it, as I looked under the pizza I had huge black hair hanging of it. My husband pizza was not cooked properly and spelt like old oil. It’s disgusting in there so many people were waiting so long for food. I’m so disappointed

Really friendly staff and the pizzas tasted great. Nice ambiance too, with lots of natural light. Didn't feel like we were in a motorway services!

I visited the Pizza Express at the services on the M40 Junction 2 Beaconsfield for evening meal as I was staying at the Ibis Hotel on site. The food was typical Pizza Express and very enjoyable. Staying in the hotel qualified for a discount. The staff were friendly and helpful. Nice place to have a formal meal as alternative to the Wetherspoons.

I was very disappointed in the new Pizza Express here - I ate there on a recommendation but my penne bolognese was burnt black (not sure how you can burn pasta black charred) and the pizza was only mediocre (soggy bottom) I felt sorry for the waiter to whose notice I brought the matter as he reported it to the manager (Mahmoud) who passed back the message and apologised but offered us a free cup of tea or coffee. We did not want a tea or coffee as we wanted to get on our way but said that in our opinion he was letting down the Pizza Express brand by serving such food We paid our full bill and left. They have obviously invested a lot in this site but they weren't that busy and the manager must remember that his customers may be travellers taking a break for a food stop but he must not serve bad food. I would that my first visit here with my wife was much better and what I would expect.

Served burned Bolognese... manager Mustangs did no bother apologise and send one of his staff. Still charged for the burned food full price. Not impressed

Great place, not too busy and good service. But 2 for 1 offers don't apply at this location, which is a shame. Lot of parking. Only have one toilet.

Lovely restaurant let down by poor management and lack of staff. Been a few times and there’s no one to seat you so you have to wait. Then to order you have to wait even longer. Then one you order your food you have to wait longer than you’d expect to be reasonable. You get the gist - this is a franchise run by the services. The experience just 5 minutes away in Beaconsfield old town Pizza Express is a world apart. Go there instead

Visited for dinner last week. We were greatest by Radhika and shown to our table. Our drinks order was taken by a very professional and polite lady (I forget her name). We ordered 3 pizza and a carbonara. The pizza was delicious as expected. We had dessert and tried the Tiramisu Latte which was absolutely delightful! Thank you.

Oct 1st- Served by quite a miserable waitress with the enthusiasm of someone attending a funeral. Quite ironic that this happened the day the law changed and staff now keep their tips but thankfully the 5 o’clock shift started so we got some one professional afterwards. A very helpful female manager helped us sort out our discount after app troubles.
