I just want to say from a delivery point of view, i have always looked for a local place that does pizzas that are exactly like the ones you eat in the restaurants. Today i can say i am thoroughly impressed. And have found my new pizza place. It’s paper thin crust (which is optional) was perfect and even though it took a little while on delivery it was still nice at hot too eat!! 10/10

Staff were friendly and helpful. It was beginning to be a busy Saturday evening for them but they found time to explain the club scheme and make sure I was served quickly before I had to travel. They were also kind enough to fill my water bottle before I dashed for a long train journey. Excellent service. And the food was nice. I appreciated a hot, inexpensive meal after a difficult day. The £8 pizza deal enticed me through the doors. I was welcomed as a single woman dining alone. That's not always the case. Thank you.

Visited pizza express in Durham for the first time since moving here and was really pleasantly surprised. Food was great, staff were wonderful even when absolutely run off their feet. Huge thanks to Chris the FoH manager for squeezing us in last minute on a super busy Saturday night.

The food was absolutely lovely, all I suggest to anybody who orders via Just Eat, Just don't. Pizza Express really did their best to make our food taste great despite it being late due to Just Eat. As my partner said "The dough was lovely and light, he went for the Meatball pizza." My pizza was great lovely mushroom pizza with added goats cheese mwa! Thank you for the gent who handles this situation xx

This restaurant was poorly staffed when we visited with only one server. He was knowledgeable about the menu with regard to my special dietary requirements. The problem was the meal. There was little on the menu that I could eat and so ordered a gluten free, vegan pasta dish. There was a big bowl of pasta but It wasn’t well cooked. Some of the pasta was almost raw. There was very little sauce and it was barely warm. It was very unpleasant. My husband ordered a vegan dish which was hot and enjoyable but he had half eaten it before his dough sticks arrived. The whole experience was not enjoyable. I won’t return to Pizza Express.

Lovely experience all around. In Darlington, we don't have a Pizza Express - we have only a Domino's, Papa John's and a few other Kebab/semi-pizzeria places, with only a couple of high quality pizza places. This was a breath of fresh air - the cheese was soft and stringy, the crust was light and chewy, and the dough balls were fantastic, with the inclusion of an actual tub of garlic butter novel, though very heavy. I wish I could go there again, but I live too far away. The customer service was wonderful - extremely prompt response, service with a smile and telling me it was with "chef's compliments", I was very flattered. If there is one qualm I have, it is that I wish the pizza was bigger.

Visited on a Thursday lunchtime in half term. Was only a few tables occupied. Service was average. Given. Choice of two tables near each other. I imagine when it’s busy it would be very impersonal as tables are very close to one another. We ordered the garlic bread with cheese as one of our starters, we intended to share this but it was so small it wouldn’t fill a toddler, I would probably avoid this choice I have never had a garlic bread as small. Ordered the lemon chicken wings also but they had no taste and were extremely greasy. Mains I ordered a large Romano style pepperoni- it was extremely thin and again not filling. When we left my daughter went to get a desert elsewhere as was still hungry not what you would expect after a 2 course lunch.

This was far from restaurant quality food. The toppings were scarce and had very little flavour. The food took a surprisingly long time to reach us once dispatched, 20 minutes to travel 3 miles) and was cold when it arrived. The mushroom pizza appeard to have one 1 mushroom on it and the etna had aproximately 10% topping coverage. Very disappointing. Would not order again.

I came into this particular Pizza Express looking for part-time work - but figured I’d try the food and service first and I’m glad I did. The Fiorentina pizza was remarkable as usual - a great classic! HOWEVER. The service was particularly concerning. The waiter initially was rather pleasant - but I had to walk up to the desk to give my order as he seemed to be having a little snooze behind the bar; rather dangerously he didn’t ask about allergies (I have a few lethal ones… and having worked FOH before I’m pretty sure you always ask!); and finally, the chefs really seemed to dislike him since they kept shouting “service” and he wouldn’t come… The sauce that came with the polenta chips was also something that had more in common with drain cleaner than the tomato/basil it was supposedly made of! Extremely bitter, almost an emetic, looked and tasted like liquefied moss. Not to mention how the chips seemed to be microwaved (and weren’t cooked at all - really mushy!). Probably not going to apply for work here… unless they seriously improve the quality and care put into their restaurant service!

Allow me to tell you the legend of Phoebe: the greatest waitress I'e ever met... On that chilly September evening, my wife and I stumbled upon Pizza Express in Durham City Centre She welcomes us with a smile that burned brighter than a thousand suns She showed us to our seats and bedazzled us with her encyclopedic knowledge of pizza and pasta dishes She already knew our order, her warm eyes gazed into my soul and she read me like a book She brought the pizzas to our table with the elegance of an Olympic skater, leaving us speechless And the food was incredible, my wife's pizza was so good it saved our marriage As the restaurant filled up, any normal person might have succumbed to anxiety, but not our Phoebe She handled the chaos with bullet-proof confidence When she handed me the bill, I felt compelled to ask how we could repay her for her god-tier skills Her request? A humble review Well, here it is, Phoebe And to the powers that be at Pizza Express, I implore you to promote this pizza prophet and give her a salary that matches her superhuman talents We are unworthy of Phoebe's greatness!

The pizza was lovely, although I found the base to be very thin, but the size of the pizza kept it filling. It cost around £15-17 for one pizza which was far too overpriced. In total for two pizzas, with VAT, and a tip, and £12.80 off through the app, it still cost us £31.81. Much too expensive, nice for a treat but won’t be going back anytime soon.

Asked for a Table for two, was told the table nearest the door was the only they had so we accepted it. Two minutes later another couple came in and were directed To a really lovely placed table, same thing happened a few minutes later, yet nobody had left in that time. The waiter walked past several times us and simply ignored us. I asked if we could order too which he barked ‘two minutes! Two minutes! He then came to the table NEXT to us and took their order. Rubbish service-average food if it’s the same as other pizza express resistant-and disgusting behaviour. NEVER AGAIN-AVOID

The food was pretty disappointing. It's difficult to do pizza badly but mine seemed to be a little undercooked. It wasn't busy so no need to rush food prep. Another really annoying thing is the different menus. The one posted outside listed prices for standard pizzas. Once you are inside the menu lists the more expensive pizzas.

Had a meal here as visiting Durham: initially it was a nice experience but then the waitress bought out our pizzas before we had finished our staters, that to me is a no no.

We won’t visit this particular one again.

This pizza Express is right in the heart of the old town so good location and handy for visitors. We booked a table just after lockdown was lifted and felt they’d got it pretty much right. Tables a good distance apart, staff in face coverings, drinks and food delivered by tray to the end of your table, menu online, or disposable paper one available.There was still a good atmosphere and the place was fairly busy. Pizza and pasta were both very tasty, as was the sweet.Decent prices, nice staff!

Ordered online as we where told it’s cheaper than just eat. On both occasions we have travelled at least 20 mins to get to the shop and on both times food not made and had to wait another 20 mins to make it. Food is less than great they have no understanding of a Deep Pan Pizza. Hygiene is not the greatest either things spotted that have left me with the option of not again thankyou.

Been using this place for over 20years and never been disappointed when i was working and since retiring 17yrs ago. Make one of the best deepan Pizza in the area and great value for money.All the lads go there on Friday night even after being miles away. Best Pizza in the area without doubt forget the late comers trying to muscle in
