Terrible place, terribly ran by incompetent management. Avoid, go to a local independent Italian. Do not order on Just Eat. Make you wait 2.5 hours then just cancel the order. Clowns!

Delivery time kept getting pushed back to over an hour later. Got a phone call from restaurant to say they didn’t have stock of over half of the things we ordered. Pizza came and was cold and stale. Average food delivery time awful.

Rediculous delivery time, restaurant kept moving it later and later. Almost 2 hours. Order was changed as 2 of the items wernt available after ordering. Food is good but the service is shocking.

Food was cold upon delivery. Food was delivered approximately 50 minutes after the advised delivery time. App confirmed the Food was ready and delivery driver was at the restaurant ready to collect but the food was not ready. Given how cold the food was upon delivery, I can only assume that the food was sat in the restaurant for quite some time before it was given to the delivery drover. Very poor service

Sorry, here I make up my comment. I did not leave my comment because we were too much familiar with Pizza Express from several countries. It's simple and many branches stores The quality and the taste are reliable and stable.

Just had a lovely birthday meal for a friend here tonight and I just wanted to comment on the brilliant service. I didn't catch his name but a lovely young man who realised without us saying it was a birthday and popped a candle in her ice cream! He was so kind and helpful with suggestions on the menu and took a couple of photos for us too. A real credit to your business, he made it a lovely evening for us and the food was really tasty too. Thank you for a smashing night xx

Wasn’t that impressed , we ordered and straight away it said delivery ETA 30 mins. Then it just kept extending and extending. We then rang through to find out what was happening .The order was ready but the driver had left but was coming back. We then received the order 30 mins later. Which meant the food wasn’t great quality. The pizzas and you could tell the dough balls were hard and not soft to eat. Then the garlic bread with mozzarella had no mozzarella on it and was plain.

Decent enough branch of this chain. Fairly small restaurant and slightly slow for the food to arrive despite it being quiet. Very friendly staff. Let down by the lack of vegetarian options - pizza express seems to have reduced its menu choices.

Food took for ever with the restaurant being less then half full this was not acceptable. When food did arrive it was piping hot and stodgy if it had been in a microwave for a couple of minutes, even the bayleaf and lemon was hot. Not a great experience.

Went here as we were in town and with a chain you usually know what you’re getting. Waiting staff friendly. Food took a while longer to come than expected, especially as the place was less than half full. Gluten free dough balls overcooked and nowhere near as nice as I’ve had in other branches. Gluten free pizza ok but very sparse toppings. Probably give this branch a miss in future.

Soooo disappointed! I live abroad, and Pizza Express is one of my favourite UK restaurants. We stopped in Carlisle driving from Manchester Airport up to Aberdeenshire on the way home for the holidays. Paid for 1 hour's parking, which would usually more than suffice; however, 45mins after arriving, we were still waiting on our pizzas. The wait staff were pleasant, but had not picked up on our long wait till I raised it. I asked how long our order would be, learned it would be another 15 minutes at least, and so we just cancelled it, and left. Notably, most of the orders we observed going out, were not being delivered to customers in the restaurant, but to Uber delivery guys waiting in the hall just outside. Our waiter apologised about this, and explained that they had no control over it. I'm not sure if this is symptomatic of UK restaurants as a whole these days, but I've certainly never, in at least twenty years of visiting Pizza Express, had to wait an hour for a meal. Too bad the people who can't even be bothered to get off their sofas and walk into town for some food are the ones who get served first.

Ordered food through Uber it took 30mins to arrive after being ready and was cold. Uber only offered 29p back which is frankly insulting. Tried ringing the store and was told that as it was a delivery company they couldn't do anything. They didn't even take any details about the delivery so clearly not interested in customer feedback and content for customers to be ripped off while profiting and hiding behind the delivery company.

We were on our way to the lake district and almost missed dinner time. Google maps suggested this place as the only open place with proper food. In the end, we had a very enjoyable Italian dinner. The store has a wide selection of pizzas. The two we chose tasted really good. My lasagna was absolutely yummy. The best value is the 7.95 pound 3 course kids menu. It comes with a rough ball, a pasta or pizza and a full size sundae. We all loved our food very much.

We ordered delivery viaJust Eat. Wow, amazed at the poor customer service @Pizza Express in Carlisle, ordered online via 'Just Eat' a sharing Pizza and a portion of Calamari (Just Eat offering 40% off), order delivered to find burnt Calamari and cold, tasteless Pizza. I often leave positive and well deserved feedback on restaurants or takeaways, so by the way I am NOT a 'Karen' 🤣. So hubby rang them to tell them this to be told he needed to take it up with 'Just Eat', no attempt to rectify or replace the food. They asked him to send a photo to the manager (which we duly sent immediately) so they could "address it with the team", ahem, what about the customer experience and rectifying the issue and replacing the food? No. Not an option! Now wondering why the 40% off offer = 40% less quality, they're desperate for orders? Will NOT be ordering from them again, plenty of good pizza places in Carlisle. Up your game Pizza Express or you'll be another empty unit in the centre of Carlisle!

Called here with my adult son and 12 year old grandson whilst in Carlisle for a football match. Pizza Express is a favourite of grandson so we indulged him ahead of my preference for the nearby Bangladeshi restaurant . Our pizzas, sides and desserts were all fine and up to usual PE standard, but unfortunately our experience was impacted by the very slow speed of delivery of the food to the table. The restaurant was less than half full which puzzled us until we realised a stream of takeaway orders appeared to be taking preference over restaurant customers. Hence just 3* from me on this occasion.

Typical of many Pizza Express restaurants, good staff training and you know what you are going to get from your pizza. Prices are a little higher than when we last visited a Pizza Express. Same good quality but there are many alternative Italian Pizzaria's in Carlisle that are more authentic in pizza base and toppings, for a safe more "uniformed" option its Pizza Express if you don't like the hand made irregular look of an oven baked authentic Italian pizza 😉

There yesterday meeting pals another couple they got there just before us to be told that the table our name was attached to had eaten & gone ...which was odd as we booked at 3pm and it's only 5 to 3...so we turn up and that issue is put to bed and sorted...very quiet tbh in there when we arrived. So eventually get our orders taken (woefully understaffed young 18yr boy running about like a mad man cleaning tables taking extra orders also taking walk in customers the lot basically, unreal tbh. (this isn't a cheap place so we expected to be not so hectic when quiet) so eventually get our orders which must've taken half an hour probably more and we can see there's 2 people making the pizzas. No one actually looking see if the three tables occupied wanted more drinks or were happy etc ...Eventually got served and tbh they were Luke warm so god only knows what was going on behind that counter maybe playing 'jenga' or cards ....so we've ended up with a £120 bill for pizzas and 2 drinks each due to delay of food 😡, One more staff member would've made such a difference ...there's plenty nice Italians in our town will go back to those in future.check 'pizza express' on Trustpilot 3 stars ✨ not good anywhere it seems. Ps the staff we were in contact with were lovely but stressed I must say that, obvs not there fault, understaffed. Go if you must but much nicer & cheaper lovely Italian restaurants in our town. ❤️

It came and was stone cold , the chicken literally was grey and the pizza was rock hard.

Called in for the first time for a while, I was told to download the app and get some free dough balls so I did. I also had the new polo pizza, it came but the edges were a bit too well done (burnt) it actually cut the roof of my mouth. On payment I said I have a pizza express voucher and would like to claim my free dough balls on the app only to be told I was not allowed to do both I questioned this but was told again I could pay by a gift card and use the app. So I ended up paying for the dough balls, had I known I wouldn't have ordered them. It left a sour taste which was a shame as the staff were good until this point.
