Pizza Express - Bedford in Bedford

slow service! dough ball very tiny! only 5 wings in the dish, should be 6 in one dish! hot chocolate just like water. chicken taste like plastic. WORST experience ever!!!

food was great and had a lovely time with my daughter, service needs a bit of work when handover is occurring and the original server has finished

Great vegiterian options, thank you.

Pizza was cold and really dry, no where near the standard in the restaurant. Toppings were minimal and also the base really thick and not nice. Really disappointing

Placed an order through Just Eat, which took 2 hours to get to me, Just Eat were worse than useless to sort out, but I rang the restaurant Pizza Express and told them the problem and spoke to Daniel who couldn’t have been more helpful, he even rang Just Eat on my behalf to find out when delivery was happening, thankfully he made fresh pizza for us (as old ones had gone cold through waiting) and finally they were picked up 2 Hours after I placed order. But my review is for the lovely pizzas and the lovely Daniel for his help. As for Just Eat…I have deleted the App!!!

Placed my order at 18.55 and it was delivered at 21.05, and that was down to just eat delivery Not the restaurant so have now deleted the Just Eat App!!

Consistently good quality. Very polite delivery.

despite being a little late, I am very pleasedcwuth the service

We were looked after by Samanta, extremely helpful. Very understanding of my girlfriend’s allergies and coming best options A credit to the team!

Food delivered over 1.5 hours after ordering. Original delivery time was amended half way through to add another hour. Food was stone cold when delivered

delivery was 45 mins over the first stated delivery time food arrived not in a heated back and was cold

Disappointed. Under cooked and gluey pizza and the ‘fries’ were also undercooked.

Pizza was cold, dry like it was made a day ago, I ordered a thin base but this was so thin the base was like dry paper. It wasn’t sliced, no taste just of pepper. For the price over £22 it was a disgrace I ended up walking to the supermarket to buy a pizza to cook. My children were starving and very hungry and disappointed. This was their treat.

We ordered pizzas, they came in sliced, we had to try and tear them into sliced. Never experienced this ever

The *new* Mac and Cheese was nothing of the sort. Just pasta spirals in a gloopy, garlicky sauce that didn’t even taste of cheese. And for almost £16 the portion size was shocking. Stick to their pizzas 🍕

If you're not indigenous from the UK and you want to eat at this outlet in the daytime, make sure you book in advance or they won't let you in. Seems like they have a dodgy fellow amongst their staff.

Went in at lunchtime, and despite the restaurant having free tables, we were told they could not serve us. Asked if we'd made a mistake and whether we should have booked in advance, we were told that we could just walk in off the street, but today they would not serve us. No reason was given as to why, and we could tell they just wanted us to quietly just go away, which we did. Much to their delight, I presume. I can not recommend this restaurant, and I can share any reason for their discrimination against us as they were silent in their responses.

Food was great and the service was impressive.

We booked a table for 7 people, 20:00 on 9th August 2024. We tried some of the new menu options and we weren't disappointed. I had the american double cheese and it was amazing. We all had great food and excellent service by Jazmin. It's nice not have to flag down staff for drinks. Food arrived hot, well presented and tasty. Will definitely return.

Had a great time! The manager we recognised from the Rushden Lakes branch was as welcoming as ever, and our waitress was lovely! Service and food were both amazing!

Great children’s party at pizza express in Bedford. My daughter and her friends absolutely loved this party experience and it was well organised and prepared. Thank you to Kate who managed my daughters party and cleaned up afterwards. The team was great and I would highly recommended as it engages the children to cook and focus. Thank you !

Martin and Magda would like to share that our food was unsurprising excellent!! You never let us down !! Great food ,service and atmosphere!! Spot on 😀

My family have been coming to pixza express for years and have always enjoyed our experiences. On this occasion i ordered pasta carbonara for myself and my children and was disappointed. For the price of £15.95 I expected a decent portion, a creamy sauce, and pasta cooked well. We got none of that. The amount of pasta received was shocking. It was dry, over cooked and rubbery, I have had this carbonara in other branches and it was alot better. On a positive note the calamari was great and the dessert. Service was also great. Please please improve the quality of cooking as we do normally enjoy our meals at Pizza Express. Thanks

Take away, picked up food,cold by the time we got home,7mins

Food was good but missing the drink from the bundle, no butter with the dough balls and no sauce with the brownie. Seems to vary each time I order as to where you get the sauces or not!

Popped in for a quick bite while walking to Bedford Park for the Summer Session. The food and service were excellent.

Polite delivery driver, great pizza.

Excellent pizza Awful service. We were a party of 2, arrived at midday on a Saturday and were seated swiftly. PE was quiet and we were seen to and eventually placed our orders (one starter and two mains between us) which came to us fairly quickly. We asked for the dessert menu afterwards and had a discussion about what was on there (coffee etc). We were then forgotten about. We gathered the attention of someone from PE who brought our waitress back who apologised and then said she could not recall us wanting anything for afterward. She came around with a dessert menu and walked off. We decided what we wanted between us and tried to get someone's attention again to order. We then decided to pay for the starter and main instead and didn't order the desserts/coffee. A dessert and coffee was consumed at home which saves money but did cut my catch up short.

Well appointed, clean restaurant- we visited late afternoon, so it was fairly quiet. Very welcoming staff and extremely polite.

the best pizzas! vegan friendly and eco-friendly. Thank u so much for your vegan options.

Always a lovely welcome and friendly service at the Bedford pizzeria. Menu has new items on; food and drink, really nice summer selections.

Lovely staff, stellar food, decent price, great chilled location for a date night 😊🍕

Lovely pizza , friendly stuff All perfecto😁

Food was great x fabulous .only thing not happy about is giving our dob to strangers . They can do identity theft. But food was delicious xxx yum

Wow, what a lovely meal! I wanted to have an evening meal out, even though I'm trying to lose weight, but I had a fantastic 3 course meal for under 1000 calories! My husband and I shared a mozzarella garlic bread starter, which was nice and small (as I hoped) but extremely tasty. I then had the Lasagne, which was lovely. I rounded it off with raspberry sorbet and stracciatella ice cream (vanilla with chocolate chips) - absolutely gorgeous, and I drank water. It was the best 989 calories I've had in ages! The staff were friendly and the service attentive and efficient. A great evening. We'll be back!

First time ordering from this place I got a joke. burnt pizza, splashed on the sides like somebody would put hand on it. I got pizza that actually I didn't order. Always pizza express has their label that States it's not touchednetc. this time I got everything in plain pizza boxes. I'm really disappointed and probably will think twice before trying again order anything. Generally pizza taste like bread.

The delivery courier was really good and the service was the fastest I’ve had so far from any resturant .

Air force Amy asked for a good review when it was only 20 metres down the road

Does what it says on the tin. Good food at a reasonable price.

Most delicious pizza I've ever tasted

Our favourite pizza restaurant. 😊

Food was good, but if you're a person of colour don't expect good customer service.

I can't speak for the atmosphere I had it delivered but when I say you man need to have this food its yam you know the cheese cake will blow your mind I have no idea what I wouldn't do for another it's dangerously good like something bout that got me like okay what do I have to do that list don't exist big man it's done already dough balls and pasta were great as well I was having a damn good time I'm close to cussing god for only giving me one stomach craving like a lunatic but no room for more I need help man

Highly recommend the cannelloni, it was delicious. Service was good and the atmosphere was lovely.

Absolutely fantastic pizza & such a good deal! i really love Pizza Express as they do my all time favourite Vegan Pizza - I can’t get to the restaurant nowadays sadly, so this was such a lovely way to enjoy - especially whilst I am currently in Hospital still too. Thank you 😊 5 🌟 xxx

very small portions for the price

the sides were hot when delivered but pizza was barely warm

I ordered food on justeat in value of 32£ and i receive an receipt to pay in full 48£ with all taxes. Do you think is normal?

Food was fresh, delicious and still hot!

Feel compelled to leave this review. Not only the food arrived late, but it was cold and soggy. And overall it tasted vile. Very disappointed

Disappointed piazza was over cooked ,

Very tasty thanks. However Halloumi bites were missing

Wonderful service as per usual. How any one could visit and not have an incredible time is beyond me. The staff are a delight, the food is exemplary and the atmosphere is first class. Never had anything but an amazing experience in Bedford Pizza Express. Keep up the amazing work team.

both pizzas were full of water, there was no mozarella either, today I had a very unpleasant experience with the order, unfortunately I could not eat this pizza. And I don't understand a very peppery thing.

The stuff are rude, the girl with blonde hair, she is got bad attitude The pizza was cold and taste awful

Unfortunately everything was stone cold and less than a teaspoon of humous is not a portion. Shame.

Great food and exceptional staff waiting on us, who explained about the VIP 50% offer enabling us both to enjoy half price pizzas. Despite the restaurant being busy, the food was delivered in a timely manner.

The blandest pizza I have ever ordered.

Easy to order, quick to arrive and courier was pleasant and cheerful.

The topping have came off the pizza and it’s cold

Lovely food and great delivery! Food arrived just right 👌🏻

This Pizza Express has been around for as long as I can remember, and I've always had a great experience, from attending birthday parties when I was little, right up to a dinner catching up with a friend or a date night. The service is always prompt, staff are friendly, and I love the decor. I really like the consistency across the brand, as I know I can go to near enough any Pizza Express and experience the same great service wherever I go! It's not the cheapest thing around, but it's always a nice treat to get to go!

Excellent service on a busy day. There were 10 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Food was as expected and we all got what we ordered with no problems. Great experience and a thoughtful waitress who kindly kept picking up stuff the kids had dropped. Thanks for a lovely experience.

It says delivered on my just eat app but I haven't received my order! I called the restaurant and they said it was out of there control and to contact just eat.

Disappointed with the food, not worth the money. Pizzas were really small and far from amazing. Order was late nearly 2 hours!

Excellent service, but slightly overdone pizza this time around.

Good food but needed warming up on delivery

The snowball dough balls were pretty disappointing - they were not dusted with cinnamon and icing sugar and were just completely plain dough balls with a tiny pot of chocolate sauce. I feel £7.45 is a lot of money for what arrived!!! The picture on this site is also completely different to what we received - perhaps your photo needs updating to reflect what is sent?

So it was my first time ordering Pizza express for a home delivery and god knows why I didn’t go for the regular chain where their business model is home delivery. The food arrived stone cold! Like you eating the leftovers in the morning. Called the restaurant, no answer. No option on their app where I ordered from and no option to even open the order detail on the Uber eat app, they use them as a delivery partner. Big mistake, will learn from it!

Pre theatre dinner trip so there at 5.30. service & food great. Obviously popular as it was quite busy & the atmosphere was good. Just a couple of issues (hence 4 stars) 1. Potatoes in Nicoise salad were not cooked enough 2. Nowhere out the front for ciggie butts, which encourages litter. Other than this I would not hesitate to book again 👏

I have ordered using our new postcode but our address had not updated. Please can someone help me I can’t get through to anyone to help including pizza express. The order had been turned away from the current residents of the old house even though the order says it was delivered.

Delivered late and cold, not the shops fault as they advised it has been ready for an hour but no courier turned up to collect and deliver

Popped in for a pizza before the theatre. The service was great (Nyaella) and the food hot and fresh. The restaurant was busy, even at 6.15pm on a Friday evening, so best to book.

The food was excellent. Delivery time not so much in that they changed it. The wait wasn't too bad for a Friday night but I'd rather have the honest time.

The food was absolutely fresh and delicious! The smell that was coming from our pizzas was so amazing! The pizza is brought to you with a pizza cutter, so you can cut it yourself the way you like it. It was fun for my child to cut his own pizza the way he prefers. The staff was very friendly and well mannered, always willing to help too! The atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxing. The tables were clean. The toilets were clean and the seats are well organised, so you have enough space to eat comfortably. My son had his birthday party here a few years ago and I am happy to say that the restaurant still lives up to its highest standards. We had a lovely lunchtime! Thank you!

We ordered at 6.31! Food arrived at 9.00 Tasteless! Completely bland for a Lasagne, Doughballs were dry ! Just absolutely awful!!

Best Pizza Express I have been to anywhere! The chefs here just make the food so much better. And although it can get a bit hectic for them, the staff are always keen to help. Plus, its close to my new Airbnb investment so I'll definitely be recommending it for my guests - providing they like pizza!

Pizza fully burned on the sides and undercooked. and it was cold anyway, and the tiramisu is warm as it was next to the pizza.

Always love to eat here with the family. We totally trust this venue to cater for our Coeliac (gluten free) daughter. Lots of options that she can eat and me too as I am intolerant to egg and dairy. The venue is always well presented with a great atmosphere. We always gave a great experience with staff, everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable with ingredients etc. Plenty of easy parking nearby on Goldington Road (free after 6pm).

Menu has good variety. Staff very pleasant

Nice restaurant, friendly, helpful staff. Food was good. Toilets could do with some improvements

The Pizza Is So Tasty That I Started Dancing

Dare night tonight was a success, thanks to the incredible team in your Bedford restaurant. We were greeted, and seated quickly and asked for allergies. The food came out hot and in good time, the kitchen team looked very organised - the tall chef has great control of everything. Our waitress was great and the Managers were very attentive - thank you all

Lovely restaurant and staff, and such delicious food especially the desserts 😋😋

Quick delivery yummy food! Arrived hot

The food we received was good but they sent the wrong desserts.

Food from here is lovely. However, from two recent Uber Eats orders, I’ve had two missing items. Uber sends a refund but thats no good when you haven’t got enough/need to collect more for your guests. Pity as the food is just as you’d hope from them.

Lovely, open space with great food and helpful, attentive staff.

It's an OK pizza express. We sat outside as it was sunny, but it's a busy road with very little to look at so you're better inside. Food was predictable, which is fine. Service was average, which is fine. We had a quick uncomplicated lunch.... which is what we wanted.

Excellent vegan menu with high quality food and superb atmosphere.

Nice and easy, yummy lunch and the kids enjoyed! Will be back again soon for more dough ball magic!

Always enjoy pizza express restaurants, great places to eat.

Pizza was delivered cold and felt dry 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pizza is stone cold - not expected after paying premium price

A bit late but was hot and amazing. One of the best pizzas I've had in restaurant or takeaway!!

Best Pizza in Bedford, Super fast delivery

No sweeteners available for coffee .Food always good stable quality.

Always good food when ordering from here. Arrives warm and tastes just like the restaurant!

Visited Pizza Express, Bedford for the first time this evening with high expectations and ready to enjoy a good quality pizza. We didn’t have a booking, on arrival we met by a host who wasn’t welcoming or smiling; there was no eye contact. Once confirmed by the supervisor with hand signals that they had availability for us, we were shown to a table. The waiter who took our order was more welcoming and smiling. Margarita pizza and veggie pizza was okay, (had much better tasting ones previously) florentine pizza was one of the worst I have ever had. The eggs were supposed to be runny but they were overcooked, the cheese was hard. Overall it was a disappointing dining experience for the price we paid. Unfortunately, We won’t be coming back in a hurry.

Good place that caters for dietary requirements well. Pricey for what it is but it's good food.
