Pizza Express in Brighton and Hove

A 10/10 meal! Came in for lunch with the family and our server Sam was amazing! He was so patient and attentive. Sam was very knowledgeable with the menu and provided us with personal menu and dessert recommendations and he made sure we had everything we needed. Jenni (the manager) was also fabulous. She accommodated all of our needs and had great banter. Food arrived very hot and was so tasty and good. Cocktails and drinks were also a 10/10. Would definitely eat here again and return. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Usually we love pizza express, but had worst experience ever. Starters left at pass for 5 mins and “warm”. Plates then left for 15 mins after finishing to be cleared (they never were). Still waiting for mains - in end just left. No manager in sight, waiting staff hiding behind screens. No excises - this was 5pm and restaurant was quiet. Pizza Express - I would sort this out before you lose more regular customers.

Terrible service - the 'manager' was not interested in his customers at all. Such a shame, we love Pizza Express but will be avoiding this branch from now on.

Heads up to the manager Laura, after me and my family witnessed her heroic saviour to the local public. Along with this humane gesture she also served us with quick kind service. The food being exquisite. My family and i had a delightful experience. See you soon Laura. 🔥

Perfectly good Pizza Express. Decent pizzas, efficient service.

The staff at this restaurant, we're exceptional, friendly and professional, advising us on the menu etc. The service was prompt considering they were understaffed, but it wasn't noticeable or late and the food was exceptionable making the evening a complete success.

Rude staff staff and stood there ignored and after 15min was told no table available

My sister works here, so I have been a couple times, AMAZING food! On the latest occasion, I had some strawberry lemonade and margherita pizza, which the pizza had delicious dough and strawberry lemonade was the perfect balance of sour and sweet! I must admit though, we had a worker discount 😅 However, that does not mean everything was still incredible. The waitress was very nice, and we got our food decently quick! Definitely come here when you are in Brighton and need something to eat. There are also some lovely decorations and atmospheric wonders.

been there recently! lovely pizza and great service and the decor is modern and fresh. My favourite is the romana polla ad astra and id recommend if you are getting 2 sets of doughballs to switch to the double doughballs which is 2 servings of doughballs (8 is one serving) for less money and with 2 more sauces which i believe are red and green pesto

It was a lovely meal the store was clean and the atmosphere was lovely as well the staff were super helpful and polite overall 10 out 10

First of all, the pizza is horrid. How you could call it 'pizza' I don't know. It looked like a frisbee, and it was harder than the plate it was served on. ordered a margherita, and what arrived was...well...not a margherita. Anything but a margherita. Also - who the hell puts chicken on pizza?

I really fancied pizza and thought I would try out Pizza express as it should have been a safe bet. I ordered the new Christmas bundle Romana and opted for the dough ball and the double American. The dough balls were all of different size ranging from what I'd consider normal size and some the size of a marble. In regards to the pizza I was hoping to be able to taste the different ingredient such as the pizza dough, cheese,tomato sauce and the topping however I was just left with the taste of grease. It was so bad I wanted to stop eating it after one bite but forced myself to eat half of it as it was expensive. Will never get pizza express again unfortunately as I'd be better off with a pizza from Tesco.

This was my first visit, despite often being in the area. The food was good, and the service was excellent. I think that I may make a return visit when I'm next in the area.

We like Pizza Express usually ....especially the one in the Marina in Brighton. Yesterday we tried the Jubilee Street one and it was awful ....my American Hot had hardly any topping but Stephen's so called Leggera Festival Wreath for a total of £ 18.45 (extra pepperoni that wasn't visible) was just disgusting. Who adds boiled pototoes to a pizza? There wasn't hardly any pizza ...the hole in the middle was bigger than we have ever seen it, salad was carelessly thrown on top (without any dressing). It was truly inedible. The men's toilets were out of order, I used the disabled one which wasn't particularly clean. We will not be back.

Such a lovely dinner, we loved Amelie she was such a lovely waitress!!

Eat before theatre. Nice experience.

Ordered a vegan pepperoni on Deliveroo. The pizza arrived with no pepperoni and randomly one half of a cherry tomato and two pieces of pepper??? It’s not rocket science to put the correct toppings on a pizza. Won’t order from here again.

Went for an early lunch before leaving daughter at University. The service was absolutely excellent. Jenny and Laura where friendly helpful and professional. Made the whole experience lovely. Thank you ladies. We will be back!

DO NOT GO HERE!! Please don’t waste your hard earned money in this horrible establishment. The pizza had like 5 lumps of cheese on it and was severely undercooked, the base was literally wet, we had no pizza cutter or anything so I had to use my hands 😂😂 the calzone was full of oil and black around the edges. The women who served us was very passive aggressive and kept offering dessert after we asked for a refund. Terrible table service and everything was so dirty (cups for our drinks and the table itself) this is the furthest thing from Italian food you’ll ever eat please don’t waste your time and money here. The owner clearly doesn’t care about his money, business or customers. Maybe actually do something to change this place because you’re wasting your time with the staff you currently employ.

Ordered from just eat. 2 pizzas. Only one turned up with the toppings missing. Phoned them. Said it wasn't their problem and to contact just eat. The missing pizza cost £21. We got a £13 credit for just eat. Dreadful!!! Will avoid both in the future!!

I ordered a pizza from this place when it arrived through Uber eats it was only warm , also charging over £15 for just a 10 or 11 inch pizza I think is very overpriced, it’s hardly fair Trading is it, show me what it looks like and what I’ve eaten was just a rip-off to its customers, I strongly advise you not to go to this place because it seems to me it’s just about profit to them. Because of all these reasons I rate this place a one to 2 star

It's TOO expenisve! Just don't go there and save 5 pounds. 12.5 pounds for a medium (very small) pepperoni pizza and it wasn't even good. I didn't even find the pizza section on the menu

Wonderful food and drinks, excellent service. We received a very warm welcome and got a table even though we hadn't booked. We'll definitely be going back.

Very rude staff and unprofessional

Waitress Rosa made me feel grand and was patient with me as I was spoiled for choice. The kitchen staff also made amazing pizza for me and my comrade.

For the service, reception and welcome they deserve 4 stars Pizza is average good Do I repeat the experience? Yes The price is very suitable.

Great atmosphere, service and food

What an horrible place The manager Was haughty ! Try to smile at her but she look at us weird and walk away.. Maybe she need a New training ? Of how to welcome costumer. The food Was untasty Our waitress Was nice . We came the 28 may around 7h00 pm . We will Never come again !

Never come back again! The manager was cold as ice Try to smile to her to feel comfortable but nothing She just look at us with angry looking The team is quite alright but wait for long just for a salad that wasn't good at all ! My mum didn't finish it . We really felt uncomfortable and unwelcome!

Very disappointed. Looking forward to a Pizza Express salad but just one salad on the menu and that included chicken. The nice pizza with a hole in the middle not on the menu. What's going on?

Really friendly and attentive staff. Great food, quick service. Would recommend 👌

We had a lovely pizza here this weekend and the thing about PE is you know what you’re getting. Our waitress was a real sweetie, very friendly and fun. I think it was Ellen. Maybe Hellen. Overall, a nice evening.

I had great experience. I was really hungry came straight from swimming and this restaurant was just close to the swimming complex. I ordered salad and veg pizza. Nice place for family’s.

Super friendly service and lovely food

We've just had a pizza making birthday party at Jubilee Street pizza express. Both parents and guests were very impressed and had fun. I've one happy birthday boy. Thank you for making the day memorable:)

Super thin, super dry, not enough cheese, not even close to warm Pizza! And to add to the challenge you get unsharp cutters while the plate is not big enough. User experience is way below expectations. Nice decor and sunny outdoor seats. Food is not worth it

Just awful, received 2 pizzas with no cheese on them, soggy bread. Called them to complain and they said there’s nothing they can do about it. Disgusting and rude. Paid £40 for soggy cheesless pizza

Sam was great. We loved the Pizza and the charming service. Next time in Brighton we are back again.

It's what you expect . No more, no less.

Long wait for service. Dirty wine glass sent back. People in next table sent back theirs as well. No bruschetta starter. I mean the bruschetta is the signature pizza express starter. When main meals came no offer of pepper or Parmesan. Waitress removed plates before we had all finished. Really disappointing.

Pretty nice restaurant with good food 🍕

So pleased with our lunch on Monday for my daughter's 3rd birthday. Damian our waiter was great, the food was delicious and they were great with accommodating our double pram and other requirements. Everyone was friendly (especially the chef chatting kindly to my daughter on his break!) and the standard of cleanliness was high. The kid's menu is really well thought out too. Highly recommended for a family outing.

Came in for a meal with my partner and in-laws but was deeply disappointed by a brand I normally enjoy. The staff all seemed like they’d rather be anywhere else (which is understandable) and the service was slow due to what seemed to be the kitchen putting Deliveroo orders before the tables in the restaurant. We waited ages to be served even our drinks and when the food finally arrived it was lovely, just not as warm as I personally would’ve liked. It’s then took us another 15minutes to flag down our waiter to pay our bill. Not sure I will be returning anytime soon.

I still can't get over the rudeness I experienced at this branch of Pizza Express. I arrived without a booking at around 6pm & hovered at the entrance waiting for service. Nobody was the least bit interested in serving me so I asked loudly if a table for 1 was available. The young bespectacled man glared at me & just said No. There was literally a handful of people seated & when I walked past the restaurant again 30 mins later it was still almost empty. I've never been made to feel so unwanted & unwelcome at a restaurant in my life & would score 0 if I could. I am still baffled by it. I then went to Patty & Bun down the street & was seated & served very quickly & with politeness..which should be the norm. Looking at the reviews it seems poor service is common here. Avoid like the plague.

The worst place to eat.afwul expensive displeasant.avoid it.everything us afwul, and the cook deserve to be given too pigs…only if you hate thème.

I have been to a few Pizza Express restaurants over the years and they have been clean and quiet with tasty food - reliable. I have never been to one like this. There was some sort of beat 'music' playing at ear splitting volume and everyone in the restaurant (and it was packed) was shrieking at the top of their voices to be heard over the noise. One of the fridges was broken, so my white wine selection had to be rejected as it was warm. My red wine selection wasn't available. Our server did his best but circumstances were against him and he forgot my second round of drinks. It was sheer mayhem and we fell out the place with our ears ringing and an enormous sense of relief. £50 down the drain.

We visited this restaurant as it was our first night in Brighton and wanted something quick that we both enjoyed. The service was absolutely shocking, it took ages to be served then another 40mins waiting for our pizzas. The waiter even come over after 30mins and delightfully told us that they was now going in the oven. The pizza was nice but not worth the below average service. The side order of chips or whatever they were called are the most disappointing thing I ate in the 5 nights we had in Brighton. After this experience I will never be entering another establishment.

If I have to eat pizza its got be from pizza express BUT, and please take this as constructive feedback , the service at your pizza express jubilee street Brighton its the worse. Staff can't be bother to help , take too long to come and take our orders, we have to get up in order to get eye contact. Really unfriendly and almost give the feeling as they were doing us a favor whilst serving us . I've been there several times and I get the same type of service every time. On the other hand , the food is lovely and your staff at the pizza express in hove are wonderful, always make us feel welcomed. The one star us for the food!

Shocking. We planned our trip to Brighton in February. We arrived at our pre-booked time only to be told that there were no tables available despite my welcoming e mail today. A complete and utter shambles. How can you book a table 3 months ahead only to have it not available. The service was non-existent and pitifully slow. I am done with this brand. It used to be good but now its dreadful and there are better options

Good food, safe environment and the staff were great, as usual

Burnt and tasteless food. Pathetic customee service

Friendly kind waiter lovely service will definitely be back!!

Brilliant customer service, friendly/ professional staff and delicious food

A pizza / pasta place that had no mozzarella, no pasta, no prawns, and a whole list of other things. We were two families totalling 7 , loyal customers of pizza express since it’s birth.... this was just not ok. What message does it give to customers. Are you running stocks down to close? The only saving grace was the lovely waitress who had to front this tale of woe. There is a Tesco express across the road, surely that could have solved the pasta problem. You will loose loyal customers if you continue in this way.

Good service and pizzas very nice. Nice aspect looking over the square.

We stumbled across this Pizza Express having arrived late on a Friday and we're delighted that they happily accommodated us despite no reservation and looking full. Reassuringly there was plenty of handsanitiser, staff were in facemasks and tables were considerately spread to make us feel comfortable. We were very well looked after by Fabio who gave us great tips on the local area. The fantastic service was matched by the great food which we all enjoyed. Definitely one of the best Pizza Expresses we have been too. Thank you to the team for a great evening!

Great service and friendly staff. Perfect social distancing.

Great location, outdoor eating, and lovely staff. Can't go wrong.

Staff are always helpful and friendly, and the food is superb! Cooks are always happy to adjust meals for allergies/fussy eaters etc. There always seem to be offers and discounts going on, so remember to check online before you go.

We had a great meal for my sister's hen party here. There were 16 of us in total and we did not have to pre book even though it was a busy Saturday afternoon. We were allowed to decorate our table. The staff were great and very efficient at taking our order. Thank you so much for helping make the hen do one to remember!

I like coming here for the space and family friendly atmosphere. The food is good, recommend the new carbonara pizza.

Love the pizza here! As it was about 6pm on a Saturday they were getting busy so it did take about 10 minutes for someone to come with a card machine so we could pay. Brilliant service otherwise.

Great reliable staple, just wish they still did some of the old pizzas like Capricciosa

We got a great deal, but that was only because our food was uncooked...

Good for adults and children nice food good service

Getting there early for our booking (and making the booking seven times by accident!) was no trouble and food was very good. Special mention to our waitress Aga who was lovely, warm, chatty and friendly (despite being v busy) - in a way that lets you know that she is being genuine and isn’t dishing out platitudes. I hope PE can keep hold of her- she’s going places!

We did like it here. Lovely. Great service and food. Better than the one in the south lanes as it is ar more spacious. Staff were very attentive and food had lovely flavours and was hot an fresh. Lovely italian merlot

The pizza is nice. However the risoto was not near as creamy as it should be..

The food is great and really kid friendly. But it is the staff that mKe this place.

My Veneziana pizza was lacking content - I counted eight pine kernels, six raisins, a few onion rings, three capers and hardly any cheese. Why hold back ingredients ? Pity.

Paré aquí para almorzar un miércoles y me senté rápidamente, ordenó comida y llegó razonablemente rápido. Parecían cortos de personal, pero nuestro camarero fue atento y amable. Nuestras pizzas eran preciosas, al igual que nuestros entrantes compartidos. Nos las arreglamos para meternos en un desierto, pero creo que eso fue un paso demasiado lejos (¡solo estar listo para la codicia!).Bonitas grandes ventanas de cristal al frente para ver pasar el mundo. Definitivamente volveremos.

Visitamos la pizza express en la calle jubileo antes de un concierto.Me senté rápidamente pero rápidamente se hizo evidente que algo andaba mal.Habíamos estado esperando más de 40 minutos por tres pizzas. Sin disculpas o incluso una explicación.Parecía priorizar las entregas de pedidos sobre los clientes en el restaurante.Traté de llamar la atención de alguien pero simplemente fui ignorado.Mucha gente se fue sin su comida.Decidimos irnos y no pagamos nuestras bebidas. no pienses que nadie se dio cuenta o se preocupó.Servicio absolutamente pésimo. Zizzi y bella italia son muy superiores en términos de oferta de servicio y precio.No deberían estar viendo que los conductores de deliveryoo recogen un montón de comida mientras todos en el restaurante se mueren de hambre.De todos modos, gracias por las bebidas gratis. No volveremos

This is one of the best pizza express's around!. Their pizzas are high quality, tasty , thin base and crispy , Italian style. This branch is much better than the Hove branch, from experience. Central location too.

Great food for the price...with O2 priority that is. Staff were polite and attentive too.

Great food. Chef Ryan sprinkles a bit of that Jamaican love on every single pizza. My favourite pizza is the 'gaza4life' it really is the best.

We had meal for 30 friends and family. The staff were great and unfazed by such a large group. The food was consistent and everyone enjoyed their meal. Thank you to the staff for a great time.

We have dined at the central location for 10 years, we don't go as often, but I will say this, each time we do , the staff are great, from the person who greets you at the door, the people who wait the tables, right down to the chefs. All very professional and friendly, some have been there working since we started coming, they used to have a pizza called 4 Season's on the menu and took it off, the waiter told me they have the ingredients and would be more than happy to make the pizza for me. The service was impeccable and the pizza was the best, like it is each time we go. I want to thank Pete, the chef, he's made our pizzas for years, no one makes them better.. S. Smith

Pretty amazing Carbonara pizza . To be fair , it was the best pizza I've had and I'm in my 50s!! That's saying a lot The place was empty late afternoon yet the food took a while though. Not the cheapest but definitely gorgeous

I've got to many Pizza Express but today we had one for the best dining experience in a long time. The waitress Agata was the right amount for service to friendliness a true host.

A nice big pizza express delivery n Brighton. Has a grate up staris seating area.

Does what it says on the can + impeccable taste.

We came for dinner after watching a show at the local theater, we weren't the only people you did this, but food and service were good considering the high volume of people would return

Awful Experience for a Friends Birthday - So after pre-booking a table for 8 people with a weeks notice, It took the staff 25 minutes to seat us, we had arrived before another table of 8 but somehow they were prioritised over us to a point they had ordered food and had drinks on their table before the staff even decided to speak to us, We had to actually get the attention of a staff member ourselves to request some level of service, We specifically asked to have the 2 course set menu for each of us on the table, the staff member said this was fine and present the code at the end of the meal, he did not provide any further information on the offer (TC's) We all ordered and to be honest the food arrived in fairly decent time, But then came the biggest issue, the Bill - So after SPECIFYING that we all wanted the set menu, we were presented with a bill that in no way would/could tally with what each of us had ordered, there was an issue where 3 party guests had ordered something that did not qualify/was not part of the set menu, this as stated before was not explained or mentioned by the waiter, still taking this into account the bill was some £40 more than any of us 8 could even get close to working out, After some 10-15 minutes of back and forth with the manager he decided to add some more "discount" which then could get us close to what was owed - I feel he did this as even he could not work out how the bill was so hideously incorrect. Needless to we would never visit this branch again, such a shame as we are big fans of Pizza Express, but this shamballs has now potentially put off 8 customers from visiting again, Overall - Poor Staffing, Not seated on time, Useless

Madre e hija se reúnen, disfrutamos nuestra visita aquí en enero para almorzar. Esto fue para la cena.Nos gusta que no tengamos prisa, tiempo entre cursos. Nos instalamos felizmente abajo, cuando justo después de comenzar nuestra comida se juntaron tres mesas adyacentes y un grupo de media docena de mujeres y un número equivalente de niños pequeños / pequeños se sentaron allí. La raqueta era espantosa, los niños debían hacer lo que quisieran sin ningún intento de controlar el ruido. Fue una pena. Al ir al baño de arriba, noté que había muchas familias allí.Si hubiera sido la hora del almuerzo, no nos habríamos importado, si somos anti hijos, tengo cuatro nietos, nuestra hija tiene un hijo de cuatro años, pero no pudimos oír hablar.Dejando a un lado la ignorancia de los comensales, el servicio fue impecable, la joven camarera, Alison fue excelente.

Excellent friendly service, great food, what more can I say!

The food was all right and the wait was really long. I waited for at least 30 mins to get my side dish

Despite being a busy Saturday night, we had great food and service.

La mejor lasagna que he probado!!

Great service despite it being very busy. The atmosphere was really good, happy and vibrant and the food is lovely. Would deffo go again.

Lovely pizzas but wish they would cut out all the silly vouchers and put the prices down

My son 's first ever dinner invitation went very well. Nice staff.

the pizza is good but for softdrink should be better

Came in yesterday evening around 7, we were greeted and seated very promptly and cheerfully! Our waitress was so lovely and friendly and helped us decide on what to get from the menu. I had the mushroom starter and the Padana pizza. However a few slices in I started to feel really faint and unwell, which eventually unfortunately ended up with me being sick, I was so embarrassed and this has genuinely never happened to me before. I have no doubt it was nothing that the kitchen had done I think it was just one of those things! I can not express how amazing our waitress was. I ran outside and she came out with a tub, blue roll and a chair and then offered me a sugary drink! She even cleared up after me which I would never have expected her to do. What a woman. She went so above and beyond her job role. I'm so annoyed I didn't get her name but I hope someone sees this that knows what happened and passes this onto her because she deserves a medal and a pay rise! There was also a man who I assume was either a supervisor or manager who was really lovely and helpful when I asked for the allergy specs to take to my doctor incase it was anything like that.So although this whole thing was an embarrassing and horrible experience I am so greatful to the staff (especially to the amazing waitress) for making it that little bit easier to deal with.

Food very good, service average

Not bad vegetarian and vegan option's.

We asked if our lunch could be brought speedily, as we had a car park fine to avoid way out of Brighton and needed to leap on a bus within 45 minutes. Our friendly, understanding, cheerful waitress arranged it (wish I'd taken her name. Credit card authorization code F39949, 13:30:05 1/11/19) and we had a delicious salad and margarita pizza in front of us pronto. Much appreciated.

Came here for a meal with family on holiday. The restaurant and location is great the staff were friendly and courteous but the food was average

Amazing restaurant with even better staff! Overall a great experience!

Good, fast. Vegan options avaible

Newish building near to the library area , and the lanes, Kensington Gardens, Dome etc
