Absolutely fantastic experience at Pizza Express! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and ensured we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal. The pizza was perfection—crispy, flavorful, and loaded with fresh ingredients. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, helping us make the best choices. I also appreciated how well they handled dietary requests, offering delicious options for all preferences. The service was quick and efficient, and the overall vibe was just great. Highly recommend Pizza Express for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a wonderful dining experience. Will definitely be back soon!

Ordered mushroom and truffles, very dry. I had thr identical item yesterday at another Pizza Express. Here the quality is much worse. Service is non-existent, mostly ignored and nobody checked on my food. Disappointing. Serviceable if lowered expectationa or desperate.

I made a big mistake in capping my last night in London in this restaurant. The food was great, but the service was CRAPPY. When I arrived, it took a long time for me to be entertained. I understand if it was a busy night, but no. There were plenty of empty tables. Probably they were understaffed that night. 🤷 Finally, a male server (let's call him vincent) noticed me, but he didn't play host. He just said something like, "Somebody will be with you soon." Perhaps it's not his job, but of the maître d'. 🤷 So, it's fine. After some time, I was seated and given the menu, it took them a LOOONG time to take my orders. I tried to get the attention of a server, which is vincent. And he just said," Yes, yes, yes." with an annoying tone and walked past me; he didn't take my order. Maybe it's not his area of responsibility. 🤷 Then, I waited again for so long. I was already planning to leave, but a female server (let's call her honey) at last came to take my orders. Then during my entire meal, NOBODY asked if everything's okay, how was the food, yadda-yadda. Unlike other restaurants I had been to even if it was a busy time. Take note: They were doing it to the other customers. After my main meal, I wanted to order a dessert. I tried to get honey's attention, but she just walked past me looking at somewhere else. Let's give her the benefit of the doubt. Possibly she really didn't see/hear me. In the end, a different male server took my order. When I was going to pay my bill, funnily enough, vincent gave me a damn when he previously didn't. I was so glad that I didn't need to pay for a service fee. Even if there was, I will surely pay for it, but definitely UNHAPPILY. I didn't even leave a gratuity. Why would I give a tip if I received a subpar service? I sincerely hope the reason for their poor quality service is because they're undertrained, not because I was subjected to racial discrimination. I'm Asian with dominant East Asian features.

We were greeted by a very friendly gentleman who took us to our table but unfortunately that is where it ended. My main course, chicken parmigiana arrived and was ok on the outside but very cold as it got towards the middle. This was sent backhand by the time it came back my husband had eaten his. My desert looked as though it was put on the plate in a hurry, presentation was not good. The poor waiter was rushed off his feet. Unfortunately won't be visiting again and wouldn't recommend.

The place is good but the service is poor. The food took 45 minutes to come. I had to ask twice for the food. Also the italian waitress was not welcoming and rude. She could not understand english properly and rolled her eyes when asked for food.

We were pleased that they kindly hosted us even though we did not have a reservation. Mr. Servet's attention and warm conversation added pleasure to the already delicious meals. When you come to this place, which is very close to the London Eye, Servet Bey can give you a nice memory with a good meal.

I came with a table of 3 this evening, the restaurant was very busy! We booked the only available time slot so we knew it would be busy however it was clear the staff were somewhat overrun. Lots of tables uncleared and unlaid. We were seated to the rear of the restaurant on a table that had no cutlery or glasses. My friend ordered the “Yule Love Our Margarita” festive special but the standard margarita was given and put on the order. All 3 portions of doughballs were stone cold. Nobody came to check on how it was so we just ate it, I did let the server know afterwards and he offered to have another portion fired. I refused and said I just wanted to let him know as we wanted to receive our mains. When our mains came, we weren’t asked if we needed anything else and I had to stop the waitress from walking away to ask to have cutlery. Again I understand it was a very busy night and things happen. The pizzas were great, tasty as always. However, my partners pollo pesto portion was a lot smaller than usually experienced in other restaurants and the pasta was very oily with very little bechamel sauce, not how it’s usually made. Perhaps ingredients are low and are being stretched, reducing the quality? Again we didn’t have a check-back so we kept eating. I spoke to the manager and explained the issues we had and she was very understanding. She said she would remove the cocktail as my friend hadn’t had much of it and she put a 20% discount and we used our pizza express club rewards on top. This was appreciated and made us feel a lot better. Overall, this is a great restaurant we just unluckily came at a very busy time (people queueing at entrance and waiting 20+ mins for a walk-in table). I appreciate the efforts taken to rectify and I would come back as the atmosphere was good and in a nice location.

Anna and Florian arranged for my entire year 6 to come in and eat during a school visit to London. They were incredibly accommodating, arranging our visit in advance and going with the flow when our visit to parliament overran! The children loved their meal, the restaurant was so welcoming and it was a really memorable part of our trip. Highly recommend not only the restaurant but the lovely people who run it.

I have to say, the menu is apalling compared to what Pizza Express used to be in the past. I made the mistake of ordering "doughballs in blankets". This could have been great. Doughballs in pancetta. But this just seems to ape pigs in blankets, with the moist texture. And you only grt four sad measly balls. This sums up Pizza Express (or PE - how apt?). It's lost its way with shabby gimmicks, while doubling in price. The classics that used to make a visit to Pizza Express have been removed and you're left with posh Pizza Hut. This particular branch - service okay and was great to see the kitchen working hard.

Over many years I and the boss have eaten at various Pizza Express establishments including the original incarnation, I believe was in what was a local London dairy in the nineteenth century. At all of these venues we have enjoyed what I could describe at the most consistent quality of pizza of which a real ‘Pizzaiolo’ would be proud of. Last night my dreams were crushed, after ordering two simple ‘Romana’ style pizzas, in a barn of a room so vast the staff seemed lost and unreachable within it. The ‘pizze’ on arrival, unlike the crispy thin crust Roman street food, piping hot & delicious, we were served flabby, over cheesed and under sauced, soggy bread which, quite frankly was almost inedible. The place wasn’t full or near capacity so to provide such a disappointment on a slow shift is beyond explanation. Pizza Express is an icon of value and taste and usually provides an experience, I like to tell my Italian family, pretty much comparable to that in the old country. Sadly not on this occasion in this establishment. Disappointment big time!

We had a fantastic experience in PizzaExpress Royal Festival Hall. The food was delicious, but what stood out the most was the kindness and exceptional service from Armir and the lovely attendant. My friend and I were in a hurry as we had a concert in just an hour, and Armir went above and beyond to ensure we received our food quickly. Their efficiency and warm hospitality made our visit truly memorable.

The manager (I believe) at this branch was extremely rude and had a horrible attitude the entire time. I ordered a takeaway and she made me wait for so long, leaving my pizza box open in front of her the entire time until the pizza became cold, and even then, she refused to give it to me. I was there from 10.15pm. I also ordered a 2Good2Go, which gave me a collection time of 10.30pm. I spent 20 minutes waiting for her to give me my order, only for her to inform me that she doesn't have anything for me yet, and that I need to come back at 11pm, because for her "collection always starts at 11pm". I went to wait in front of london eye until it was time. When I came back for my collection AGAIN, she informed me that she threw away all the food so she has nothing to give me AGAIN. AFTER I HAD ALREADY PAID AND SPENT 1 HOUR WAITING!!! I used to enjoy going to PizzaExpress, but I will DEFINITELY NOT be going back to that branch, nor will I be recommending it to anyone. It is extremely unfortunate that I was treated so horribly and her unprofessional attitude was absolutely disgusting. THE STAFF WAS EATING WHILE COOKING! HOW DISGUSTING IS THAT!

Haven't been to a PE for around a year or so, but it's still as decent and good value as always. However, what's happened to the Diavolo pizza and the big square one ? More often than not, they were my pizza of choice: now not there... And not that impressed by the 'new' style coleslaw. Other than that, highly recommended.

The food and service is great here and its nicely tucked downstairs so you can get away from the hustle and bustle. They also space the tables away from each other so gives a sense of some privacy in a big restaurant. The only downside is the lighting which is at best weird and at worst really distracting depending on where you get sat.

Pizza Express is one of our go to family restaurants as our neurodiverse son knows what to expect. Ended up here on our first night in London just after 6pm and the restaurant was under half full so we were hopeful of a walk in. We waited to be seated, only to be ignored by 5 or 6 staff coming to and from the bar. Even if they weren’t seating people, a token eye contact and “someone will be with you shortly” wouldn’t have hurt. The person who did eventually come over had also similarly ignored us for around 10 mins - had we not had our son with us and been hungry I’d have already walked away by that point. We were then greeted by a very snotty attitude as we hadn’t booked, and over a half hour wait for a table. I commented that the restaurant was under half full, and we’d probably be finished and out really quickly, but just got a “sorry we’re fully booked” At this point my son was in tears, but we weren’t going to bother hanging around for a table with that welcome. Thankfully Gourmet pizza further down towards Blackfriars welcomed us with open arms, despite being way more busy than PE was. Unfortunately that’s lost us as a Pizza Express customer for the foreseeable future- my son will both remember this for a long time, and refuses to go to Pizza Express again.

Restaurant 200m from Eagle Eye. Quite pleasant. We had to wait a long time before someone came to ask about the order. Average pizza, but it all depends on what you like. We like typically Italian pizza, and this one is completely different. Prices are not low - normal for London. Toilets are cramped and a bit dirty. It would be nice to clean up more often. The service was nice and helpful.

Honestly was not great at all. The manager was extremely rude to the customers and to her colleagues. We were very upset and even heard several other tables complaining about the customer service with this manager in particular. I would like to note that some of the other servers were really good, it was just the manager that was rude. Food came late, we were told to wait at the door for 20 minutes by manager only to be let in after a couple of minutes by another member of staff. We waited over 30 minutes for the food and ended up late to where we needed to go after. If you’re in a rush, would not recommend - particularly because it was completely empty when we went.

The pizzas didn't have much topping. One pizza was burnt on the edges and on another the onion and pepper was barely cooked. The brownie was good, but small. The sundae was fine, but nothing special. £8 for desserts seemed a bit pricey. It was very quiet when we arrived at 4:30pm on a Wednesday, but it soon filled up, mostly with young families.

In the past Pizza Express could be relied on for a satisfactory meal & in fact I have been to this branch before when on the Southbank. It has gone totally downhill. We had the Prawn Peperonata - this bore no resemblance to the picture on the website (which I have looked at subsequently) - no lemon/fresh parsley. I doubt if the ingredients cost more than a couple of pounds at most - it was tasteless. We had to wait a good time for the order to be taken & even longer (around 20 minutes) for the food to arrive. We then had to ask for parmesan which then came in a tiny dish so we had to ask for more. No black pepper. We were offered dessert but declined - not wanting to waste any more money. Getting the bill proved difficult. I asked for it but after about 6 minutes we got up & went to a desk to ask for it again. No receipt given or offered.

The restaurant appeared well presented when we arrived and fairly quiet we were eating as a family of 4 with two children. Everything appeared to go well until we ordered. Our children had starters as part of the kids menu however we only had mains. In previous visits to other pizza expresses the children are usually served their starter given that its only some dough balls and veg very quickly. The service was really slow and it was noted there appeared to be food going back and forth at surrounding tables as if orders were mixed up. After a long wait the waitress brought the two adult mains across , and still the children had no starter. When we queried it she basically snubbed us and walked off to speak to someone . Another female came across asking what the problem was and we said the children had no starters , the fact our mains had arrived was not great as we had planned to eat as a family. No apology. The childrens starters suddenly arrived and then the original waitress appeared with their main also and was attempting to fill our table with all the courses. We complained and said their food would be cold putting it out in one go she was furious looking and attempted to walk off until my husband collared her and made them take everything back till they finished the starter. The children finished their starter and the mains came back . Could hear numerous other customers also complaining of service No apologies offered , the food was as expected for pizza express and was close to tourist attractions which suited at the time . However service was really poor there appeared only one young male member of staff who was bothered about customers. The two female members of staff who brought our food should not be in the industry

Just finished eating here... Some context It's currently 29 degrees, we're a family of 4 with a sleeping 2 year old. My wife asked for a cooler, quieter part of the restaurant to allow my son to sleep. The half that fitted that description was apparently booked for a table of 50. (🤔) The next best option it would seem was to seat us under a speaker in direct sunlight. We asked if there was somewhere else, she said no (The restaurant was 3/4 empty) I decided to shift a load of tables so we weren't in direct sunlight at which point our waiter saw and realised the obvious problem and moved us to a table the host had said we couldn't have. I wish I got the waiters name as he was the only thing saving this from a 1 star review. On exit 90 minutes later, to nobody's suprise, no table of 50 had arrived. I said that in future, please have the same consideration for young families as your lovely waiter did. I was told the same nonsense, a booking of 50 was coming. I'd love to live in a world where small children were put before financial gain, especially fictional. That is not the case in this restaurant.

We went straight in with the pizzas, all of which were cooked perfectly and were delicious. the favourite was the BBQ Burnt Ends Pizza so would definitely suggest a try! We finished it off with a Biscoff ice cream sundae which was a lovely sweet treat. We have been here many times and always had a good experience with the welcoming staff. Look forward to coming again soon!

PIZZA EXPRESS - Worst place in London. 1. A very rude waiter serving 3 (three) tables outside, "the manager's assistant" by God's grace. Zero interest in customers. He treated us with strong "prejudice"! 2. There is no way you can enter a restaurant with a dog of any size, even a small Pinscher. Of course, using "company policy" as a cover. No discussion, either you sit outside and we treat you like homeless people, and we'll even try not to see you... or you leave the bar! 3. We were with children and parents-in-law, older people, after a day full of sightseeing, emotions and fatigue - we wanted to sit somewhere nice and eat tasty food. NOTHING OF THAT! The staff divided us, children inside, and let someone stay outside with the dog and maybe we will serve you. INCAPABLE!!! We promised the children pizza, they were hungry so we decided to stay. MISTAKE!!! 4. The waiter outside, at the table next to him, almost burst into tears as he was serving other English guests... to his wife and mother-in-law, turned out to be a total grump who did not want to clear the table of the dishes left behind for over 40 minutes. Another waiter inside, who served me with my father-in-law and children - a golden man who tried to help, arrange something, talk sharply with a colleague from outside and with the manager... But in the end, the pizza ordered for the ladies outside arrived after we and the children had already eaten and we left the place because: "the waiter from the garden made a mistake... poor thing... and gave the order to another table. Sorry". End of quote. 5. In the end, we got a 20% discount, coffee and tea for the ladies outside because it was raining and it was 15 degrees!!! EMBARRASSING! 6. The food is well below average! The best of all was the picante olive oil. The pizza is about 25 cm in diameter and it takes as much distance from an Italian one as from London to Rome! 7. Impressions - terrible! Unacceptable behavior! Dry, soulless and untrue English "sorry" - embarrassing, automatic, even industrial-corporate. It was supposed to be a nice family evening - what emerged was the English cold, rain/tears and humanity that may exist but beneath the deepest layer of London fog. WE DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! Too bad London… Pity… Thanks to such people, pubs and places, you leave sad memories. The intolerance of people with dogs in this city, unfortunately, closed the door to us not only in this place. Are you really that comfortable, modern, clean and correct? Come to us, we will show you what Polish hospitality is... Come… Oh, no, I forgot... you are already coming to us! Especially to Krakow, where you show your "culture" brilliantly🤦♂️

Went at about 22:30 when most other restaurants in the area were shut, and received good food and service.

There was a group of about 40 middle school students and teachers out front as we approached the restaurant. My first thought was, uh oh, I hope we don't have to wait too long for a table. Nope... this place was huge. It looked modern and clean. Our server looked a little stressed because he said he unexpectedly had a huge group to serve, so we made sure to put our whole order in before he got to them. This place definitely caters to kids. They have a kids' menu with cups filled with colored pencils. They also had a good deal for a kids' meal: app, main, and dessert. The app was the dough balls, which was a plate of four round bread, butter, cucumber, and Thompson tomatoes. His main was an American pizza (pepperoni pizza), which was large enough for him. For dessert, he chose the brownie, which was pretty small. My first drink was Raspberry Cosmo Spritz. It tasted like Sprite. I asked to switch to something else, so I got a margarita. That was also awful. If you get a drink here, you'd be better off with beer. The calamari we ordered was like onion rings; lots of bread. The Padana pizza was pretty good.

The pizza is nice, but I had to ask them to cut for me into pieces. I don’t know if it’s the norm here in London, but I was surprised that it wasn’t already cut into slices. Overall chill place to hangout in. Got those bread appetizer dough, but I personally wasn’t a big fan.

Good size pizza, great service. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere after at first expecting it to be a little claustrophobic due to there being a lot of seats close together and it being on the lower ground. We were sat near the window and it didn’t feel crowded at all.

The atmosphere was brilliant. Mia was an excellent server, always checking in at the right times. The chef miles or trystan even came out with part of the dish that was missing and apologised but we had a laugh and he was amazing about it! Couldn’t of asked for a better experience

Me and my family visit pizza express on a Saturday evening, we come in the restaurant and a kind waitress was welcoming us. We then ordered our food but our food took very long. We noticed something as we were waiting for our food, the manager of the restaurant was ringing a bell for some strange reason and as she was doing this her team was busy serving the other customers and I found that very weird and rude. When our food arrived our food was cold and stale and me and my family were very upset. And as the manager was sitting there ringing the bell she could’ve served the food.

Love Pizza Express pizzas. Quick bite after the theatre. Not very busy but was told only one waiter was on. The others came on at 5pm. Took a while to get order in. Pizzas were lovely but very hard to cut. Not sure if that was th3 base or the blunt cutlery. Used the pizza cutter but ended up just tearing it to pieces! Used Tesco Clubcard points towards the total cost so happy. Waiter and service was fine.

Had a great experience at this restaurant today. We ordered a pizza by mistake, and the pizza was already ready when we realised that. But Paulo Nunes who was serving us was very kind and agreed to swap it for another pizza that would work for us. Very positive experience, and me and the family was very happy.

Justiana and Anna at the Royal Festival Hall restaurant were exceptional. Their hospitality and welcome made our large group booking go so smoothly and it was the best service I have ever received. Justiana was incredibly patient and friendly when helping to distribute the food to the children. In the lead up to the event, Anna and the staff were most helpful in organising our pre order and sorting the financial side. I would highly recommend the team at Royal Festival Hall - outstanding quality service and they went above and beyond. Thank you for making our visit so easy - we had a fantastic time and look forward to visiting again when we’re next in London. Olivia

I normally love this pizza express so went to get a TooGoodToGo bag and it was the worst I’ve ever had. 8 dough balls, a bread and a drink. Surely they can do better - there wasn’t even the delicious garlic butter for the dough balls! Not impressed and defo off putting !

We had a wonderful supper after a visit to the London Dungeon. It is very close to County Hall, the London Eye, London Dungeon and not far from Waterloo Station. We had a pizza, spaghetti carbonara and mushroom risotto all of which were very tasty. Proper Italian food!! It was a shame that we did not have room for a pudding because the chocolate brownies were huge and looked delicious. The staff were friendly and efficient so the service was excellent. The prices were reasonable for a lovely restaurant in such a central location. I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant and we will certainly visit again.

Excellent service. I used the Pizza Express app, which enabled me to use some rewards (every bit of saving money helps these days 😊)

Can’t believe this place is still about!! I found a job through star now as a promoter that needed to be filled in. There was 2 other us before starting the shift the other girl left and I stayed for the shift. I worked there couple years ago and didn’t even get paid AT ALL!!! My messages were completely ignored!! I had to stand out in the cold to promote the bar! On top of that my card was stolen at the end of shift and I was very out of it Kmt. Do not recommend AT ALL.
