Great service, pizza was Lovely and the staff were amazing. Especially Delia who was extremely polite, helpful and professional. Nice to see staff walking around looking cheerful and the banter was decent too. We brought in a large group and the whole team at this particular pizza express coped very well. Will be back again.

Terrible staff. It is not even busy and they do not pay attention to our table. No check back if everything is ok with us. Have to get their attention all the time. Too busy talking to one another and with their kitchen staff. Will not return nor recommend this place.

The food here is really fantastic and it’s in a great location. Not happy with the service from one waiter, we had drinks,starters and pizzas. We did have a few different offers and vouchers 2-4-1 that I had been given from previous visits to other pizza express and some others on our phones. The attitude to all these was not well received we were told we could not split the bills into 2x2 as there was 4 of us. Then we got told that some of our starters were not included in the offers and told we should have read the terms and conditions!!! yes agree that some of the Vouchers were when we got TOLD were out of date!! But the way we were told this was insensitive and rather off handish as he just kept saying the manager would not allow these. We did use a more up to date phone voucher but it was not a pleasant experience at all being talked to in such a off hand way.

Nunca me gustó Pizza Express pero lo probé. Me alegro de haberlo hecho. La comida estuvo deliciosa. Tuve una lasaña con un delicioso postre de pastel junto con una ginebra de naranja. Mi marido tenía calzone, peroni y café irlandés. El personal fue amistoso y atento

Llegamos temprano por la noche para nuestro descanso en Edimburgo en un lugar llamado 'la costa', soy celíaco (sin gluten), así que sabía que siempre me costaba comer, sin embargo, al lado de donde nos alojábamos era esta pizza Express, entramos y nos encontramos con un encantadora señorita que estaba muy al tanto de los celics y estaba muy bien informada sobre lo que puedo tener. La pizza era buena, aunque un poco caro, pero en general lo recomendaría

Tried the new crab arancini and loved it whilst my partner had the free dough balls (present for a previous review - there is always a deal to be had here). He had his usual hot pizza which is too hot for me but I loved my chicken pasta dish. I would happily come back and have the same again. Always good service and good food.

My Fiancee and I came on holiday to Edinburgh and today (Sunday 24th) decided to go to the Pizza Express in Leith. We headed out at 22.00 knowing it didn't close till 22.30 so plenty of time to grab a couple of takeaway pizzas before they closed. How wrong we were!! Staying 5 minutes away from the pizza Express we found it had already been closed and seeing someone turn off the final light in the building. We are perplexed as to why a chain restaurant closes so early even though its stated on Google and Pizza Express's own website that they close at 22.30. I have the mind to call your HR and speak to your area manager why you closed early,you have lost revenue today and I'm pretty sure your Area manager will not be pleased as to you closing early than stated

Por desgracia, el director dijo que no se les permite servir alcohol sin orden principal por supuesto, política de la empresa. Esta es la última vez que jamás volvería a pizza express. P. s.

Came here with my sister and we had two dogs with us I popped in and asked if it was ok to sit outside and eat with our two dogs and you told us it was absolutely fine. So we sat down and began to settle the dogs there was a table about to leave in the back corner of the outside seating which I decided would be best to move to so that the dogs wouldn’t be in the way of the waiters or potential customers. We moved seats ordered our drinks and food when the food came the man serving us became very unpleasant and made us feel very uncomfortable about serving us he said “ladies you are becoming very difficult to serve due to your dogs” we replied “it’s alright don’t worry about it we can move them around when your here” he then said “no it’s not ok actually” and just walked away the space for outside isn’t massive so it was tight but what was the point in saying having two dogs is ok when in actual fact the male waiter did not seem to be ok with it. Now the food was fantastic so tell the chefs that the only good part of that meal was the great tasting food. after that comment the waiter did not come out to see us any more and I had to go in to pay our bill. My sister is a GM of a restaurant and I also work in hospitality and I was actually so shocked at the waiters attitude towards us as before when we sat down waiting to give the food and drinks order he had spent around 5/10 minutes flirting with another table of ladies getting their bill as we sat patiently waiting so his cheery mood was clearly only for a specific set of customers. As the food was great I will be going back to a pizza express certainly not the one on the shore the whole experience was disheartening and ruined our moods for the rest of the day.

Not a place I've been too decided to go as my wee boy is 18 months and I knew it was a family place. We went on a Saturday at 330 and there was only one other table in. The waiter was really friendly and I was impressed with the service. We had a voucher starter and pizza 9.95 hubby had doughballs to start I had garlic bread with cheese and pepperoni pizza all were lovely. The kids menu was good and my son loved the crayons. Definitely go back as a family. The only thing that made me rate it 4 stars were the drinks were dear 6.95 for a bottle of Peroni

My wife loves Pizza Express. She can't wait for special offers. Me? Meh. It's food. She had a veggy pizza, I had seafood pasta. Both good, IMO, rather than outstanding. Not that I expect michelin star quality from a chain pizza joint :-)A few olives to start, and coffees afterwards. A red wine and a beer.The place wasn't that busy and the food came to the table very quickly. Awarded 4 partly for that reason.Recent turnover of staff. Therefore probably not recognised my wife as a regular. But staff pallsy and helpful. My wife hates them calling us 'guys'. She's used to better: good evening sir, good evening madam. She's a right madam. Capisce?

We had lunch at Pizza Express at Ocean Terminal after visited The Royal Yacht Britannia, Edinburgh. We ordered a Pepperoni Romana Style pizza which is thinner and bigger than a classic style pizza to share among 2 adults. As we were sharing the pizza, the waitress served us in 2 plates with 2 slices each which has been sliced up for us. We were very impressed. Requested for Parmesan cheese and came in a saucer. We were given a generous amount of the cheese and because my son loves Parmesan, we finished the whole lot. Pizza is very good as well as the service.

We came for an early evening dinner when there were only a couple of other couples in, and everything started well. Drinks came quickly and starter also reasonably quick. However, the mains took a little longer to come, and this was where the food went downhill a touch. My pizza was perfectly nice, nothing special, but my partner's posh mac and cheese wasn't particularly tasty. It then took a very long time for the plates to be cleared and for dessert to come.My partner's chocolate cake took a solid 20 minutes to arrive in a restaurant that was less than half full, as the waiters both served around the couple of small groups who had turned up in the mean time. They weren't run off their feet by any stretch, and so we waited - this was despite catching the waiters' eyes a couple of times first. When it came, the bottom was really quite burnt, but given how long it had taken we didn't bother complaining.The bill came, and it turns out my partner's request to have a starter had been misunderstood and we'd been charged double the amount for the starter, seemingly to make it into a main. This seemed cheeky to say the least, but even if it had been a misunderstanding, the portion size certainly didn't justify nearly £12 for cheese pasta. The idea with Pizza Express is that you know what you're getting, but this was disappointing to say the least. Service nothing special, and the bill was quite a shock when it came. Maybe an off day, but certainly not to the standard experienced at other branches.

Per essere una pizzeria pseudo-italiana in terra straniera devo ammettere che la pizza e' buona. Non e' quella con il bordo alto, ma e' croccante e sottile, saporita e non troppo pasticciata. Si puo' scegliere tra la versione "romana" e in questo caso vi serviranno una pizza sottile larga e croccante oppure quella normale, piu' alta e piccola piu' simile ad una pizza al taglio come sapore anche se tonda. La contaminazione britannica si avverte nella presenza di aglio e condimenti non proprio tradizionali come fette di peperoncino jalapeno nella pizza margherita con bufala, ma si puo' chiedere di toglierlo e magari inserire altri ingredienti a piacimento.I dolci sono ottimi e si possono richiedere in porzione standard oppure mignon, in questo caso vengono proposti in minidose accompagnato da una tazzina di caffe' espresso.Ai bambini danno colori e un libretto con giochi divertenti .La spesa e' nella media.

Offered me a seat where I preferred and was friendly, conscientious and attentive. When I walked through the door he said "Table for four"? "Er, no. Just me " I replied.Would go back as the service was top notch and as I was on my own he went about to make sure I was ok. Food came quick and were a good size portion.

When you are in an area so stuffed with fabulous places to eat and drink it felt disappointing to end up in a chain. But it was New Year's Day at 9 and there wasn't too much immediate choice.

We were a table of 7 in a quiet restaurant. Server was cheery but food was very mediocre. Overdone pizzas, tiny main portion of risotto & a salad main that wasn't as good as it should be. Drink order was missed & manager on duty looked very untidy & didn't engage at all. Real bugbear was finding out that the tip that was left in addition to the bill total was unnecessary as 15% had already been charged!! A very expensive mistake. Sad that the server didn't say that service had already been charged, instead he pocketed £40!!!!! Would never ever return.

I visited here on Monday this week with my wife, it was a last minute decision and thankfully it been a Monday night they weren't busy and we got a table.I didn't find it any different to any other pizza express, food was excellent and the service from the guy looking after us was great. no complaints about anything.Speed of starters after we ordered was about 5 minutes and following that about 10 minutes for the Pizza.

Went to get the kids some pizza but was served by a not so friendly person who just dumped the food. Manager was apologetic.

Entrés par hasard, nous avons plutôt été satisfaits. Accueil très sympathique. Carte diversifiée. Une (très) bonne pizza pour monsieur, une salade (pour moi) à base de roquette, épinards, fromage, aubergines et poivrons cuits, assaisonnée au vinaigre balsamique caramélisé chaud : un délice accompagné de parts de pain chaudes elles aussi (pâte à pizza).Prix un peu élevés tout de même.

We intended to eat at Frankie and Bennies next door but the service had been so awful that we left and went to Pizza Express instead. A host greeted us immediately, led us to a table and took our drink orders. We ordered a pizza each and they were on the table in ten minutes. They are enormous pizzas, amazing value for money! It was relatively busy but a lovely atmosphere inside. Thanks Pizza Express.

Called in for a Pizza on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant wasnt particularly busy, and by the time we had finished eating it was empty. My wife chose the Romana Padana, which is a goats cheese mozzarella, tomato caramilised onions, spinach red onion, and garlic oil on a very thin crusty base and I chose the Il Padrino on the same base which is chicken, roasted vegetables, pesto, roasted tomatoes, and mozzarella.Both were delicious, and well prepared, and the cost with a soft drink for me, and a bottled peroni for my wife came to £18.55 which allowed for £11.65 being taken off for a promotion. The only critisism about the place, is the fact that it is in need of an update, and not a place you could enjoy a romantic meal in as it is very cafe-ish.Also we were offered a table when we arrived that had been wiped very badly, if at all, which is not good.

We normally enjoy Pizza Express but overall this was a let down. Service was slow to non existent It took ages to get a drink , the meal came at an OK speed and to be fair was tasty and reasonable value.We were going to have a sweet but no body bothered asking. We asked for the bill which took forever It goes without saying we left no tip and will not be back.

Lovely food here - much better quality than other chain pizza restaurants. Fresh doughballs for a starter are to die for and their pizza are delicious and fresh.

Didn't realize this was a chain but it really should not matter. Order a pizza and it came really quickly, suss. It was luke warm badly assembled and extremely overpriced for what it was. Both of us are in hospitality and know when food has been sitting on the pass for awhile. We got that pizza. Not a fan.

There with family and friends. Two young children and we were made to feel most welcome. From chef to waitress every member of staff engaged with my three year old. And that makes life a whole lot easier. (pizza good too!!)

We normally go to pizza express as its a known entity, we have young kids and they can be a bit picky so we know this chain if a safe bet.Sadly the thing that let the chain down on this visit was not the surroundings or the food it was the staff. It was a busy Saturday night after a Rugby match in Edinburgh so the place was full but there seemed to be no organisation with the staff. The was by my reckoning 5 staff in total serving on the floor (and its not that big) but not a lot of organisation with staff asking each other how to ring stuff through the till, moaning how a table was staying longer than it should and how they were going to fit in bookings, generally being headless chickens. They are normally better than this at their other restaurants.

During a recent illness when I couldn't eat at all I was desperate for a visit here (might be something to do with their full-on marketing approach of frequent emails!) so it was my first proper meal in ages. Did NOT disappoint. The staff are always friendly, there are always several options I fancy and you know what it costs. What's not to love. They have made the romana pizzas even thinner and crispier (and bigger but OH still managed to finish his). I have the prawn and salmon one and OH some hot one (might be Etna). I like that they have lighter options too and I have had the legera pizzas several times just not this time. Lovely as ever and no doubt we'll be back soon.

I have been to this pizza express a few times with my kids. Generally the service is very good and the food is to a good level. The staff are pretty relaxed, not great if you are in a rush but all good if you want a relaxing meal.

As always the food here was great and service friendly and efficient. My Mum and Dad were visiting so the waiter gave them some information about the dishes and also the beer/ciders on offer.Both Dad and I asked to change things on our pizzas which was no problem at all. Our staters and mains were all lovely and we just managed to squeeze in the mini puddings that come with coffee :o). Nice setting too as it is right by the water.

I've been going to Pizza Express since my student days and that is over 40 years ago when they only had a couple of sites in London. Although it's no longer an independent chain the standard has been maintained pretty well.What is there to say? The pizzas are good and the wine list is ok. The service here was good with a friendly waitress. Maybe it's a bit expensive for what it is but it's not outrageous.I still think it's the best pizza chain. Don't go out of your way to eat here but if you are in the area you could do much worse.

The time that I had went to Pizzahut was as early lunch time so when we arrived we had to wait a bit for the pizza but it had given me and my family time to help ourselves to some stuff from the salad bar. The salad bar was stocked up like it should be and the staff were always making sure nothing was emptied out. The pizza itself was fresh and met my high expectations, there was a wide variety of pizzas all having a perfect balance of toppings, there were a few pizzas that stood out to me which were the cheesy garlic bread which had the perfect balance between the perfect garlic flavour while keeping the perfect cheesy top. The other pizza that stood out to me was the barbecue pizza which had the perfect balance between Smokey bacon sweet sweetcorn and the perfect barbecue glaze. There was an ice cream machine that was surprisingly clean and was surrounded with the toppings and sauces for the ice cream. Overall I was fairly satisfied with my visit and would love to go again.
