Pizza Express King Street Manchester in Manchester

“I recently visited Pizza Express in Manchester, and it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and efficient, making the entire dining experience even better. I had a fantastic time enjoying the great food and wonderful atmosphere with my colleagues. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality food and excellent service!”

Peter is the best will always come for him!

Peter was amazing tonight - probably best and funniest service I’ve ever had

Great knowing your favourite food options are there, with friendly people serving . Building being one of older construction has very high ceilings so we found our seats cold being near the entrance.

Food was fine, but there was a lot off the menu when we went, which was disappointing. And no Pizza Express dipping sauce either!

So personally I absolutely LOVE pizza express. In my opinion it is illegal to not get dough balls and the garlic butter is just exquisite. Then my go to is always the classic margarita which is very good but sometimes It’s good to switch it up with incredible pasta. For dessert I would definitely suggest a brownie with amazing vanilla ice cream. For my drink I usually go for anything but recently I found that they have great mocktails, juices and smoothies so definitely try one of them and if you are bringing a child make sure to give them a hat that is free. Elspeth's review is much better than jasmines(pls tell if you’d rather hear from me instead of the likes of her : well let me start of saying an underrated hero served at pizza express is the beautiful breadcrumbed calamari served with lemon ( and if your clever also get the dough balls so u can have it with the garlic butter) same as jasmine the margarita is the order I tend to choose because it’s simple yet perfect. I tend to just get ice cream for dessert and always a appletize for the drink .

the pizza was stone cold. toppings where almost invisible. value and quality was shocking. I will never use pizza express again

Snabb service när vi kom dit och trevlig personal. Alla i familjen valde American, några i Classic och några Romano. Alla var nöjda med maten. Finns flera glutenfria alternativ, vilket verkligen uppskattades. Bra hjälp från personalen ang. allergier. De frågade redan vi ankomst om vi hade någon med allergier i sällskapet.

First of all,they gave us the wrong order and then delayed are real order by 20 minutes.May I also add that they repeated this mistake 3 times. I usually love pizza express so this is very disappointing!

Not a bad meal, we were in the area for a wedding. Service was prompt. The young lady serving us was efficient and nothing was too much trouble.

We ate here twice a few days apart during a trip to Manchester. The food was excellent both times and the service was perfect both times. I have allergies and these were well catered for and the allergen information is easily accessible and available

The pizza was good the salad was great.. really simple I mean it's pizza.

We have visited this restaurant before and returned as the service and food was so good. We were not to be disappointed as once again everything was perfect. We ordered the Tuna Niçoise salad and it is just perfect! Not only that but the King Street Pizza Express is quite a spectacular setting as the building has beautiful architecture and lovely interior decor. Well worth a visit.

Had a lovely catch-up with ex colleagues

I recently dined at Pizza Express and enjoyed both the food and service, which were up to the usual standard. However, I did notice that the portion sizes seemed smaller than before. The location itself has a charming old wooden interior, which adds a nice touch, but the giant seating booths made the space feel a bit less welcoming. Overall, a decent experience, but there’s room for improvement in the atmosphere.

Always a brilliant place for food and the best staff ever

This is our go to spot in Manchester to get chocolate fudge cake. Peter and George gave us great service. The restaurant is well laid out with a beautiful interior suitable for couples or family outings. The food is amazing and reasonably priced

Great service, free dough balls for using the app are a bonus

Great gluten-free pizza & dough balls. Friendly & quick service 🙌🏼

We visited today for our date day, my husband has calzone and I had a spicy sausage pizza which the lovely waiter told me it can be veey spicy so suggested only putting a little bit on my pizza. It was amazing

Food good as always. Service from Peter exceptional, what a great guy ,fun knowledgable , advised us how to get the best from the app. Made the visit really enjoyable ! Thank you peter 👍👍

Totally and utterly flabbergasted at the reponse of the manageress. Unwilling to remove items from a calzone due to company policy.... Which I have ordered on many occasions.....customer skills are non existent no wonder market share is going downhill and up coming pizza places are taking your market....

I love eating here, the app is brilliant, full of offers and discounts. We always end up getting upgraded pizzas, drinks, dough balls each for less than 15 quid per person

Really nice and fresh tasting pizza and lasagna. Great service from restaurant

Had my daughter's graduation meal here, the staff were amazing and we had a great time

We visited this restaurant for our evening meal after a spa day. A friendly waitress called Lisa showed us to our table and did a great job of looking after us all evening. Food arrived in less than ten minutes, Lisa brought us drinks and condiments, everything was perfect and we loved the Tuna Niçoise Salad, thank you!

Came today for a date and wanted to thank both waiters (a young woman and an older man) who both made my experience very easy, food was delicious and the older man went out of his way to get me the best discount as a student, thank you for a great time 👍

A family meal at lunchtime on a Saturday. No problem getting a table. Really helpful waitress. Excellent food, drinks & desert. Leave a cash tip…the server gets it all.

Really welcoming staff, great food and an attentive service.

Fancied pizza so called in here. Slightly under staffed bit the service was still good. Tasty pizza even for a non pizza lover. Lovely surroundings. Cool and comfortable after a very hot day.

Excellent service, good menu choice and delicious food.

Last night, I had a terrible experience at a well-known chain pizza restaurant. We waited a long time despite visible empty tables. Once seated, it took 20 minutes to get our drinks, which were warm and had dirty glasses. Our pepperoni pizza arrived an hour later, cold and undercooked with scant toppings. Our server was unresponsive, and the manager was dismissive. The restaurant was also dirty, with crumbs and trash everywhere. Overall, it was a deeply disappointing visit.

The best Pizza Express I've ever been in... and I've been in a lot! This one feels elevated. Great service and surroundings.

Visited late on a week night. The restaurant was quiet and we were given a warm welcome and quickly seated. Service was great, Peter was really lovely with a great sense of humour. The restaurant is spotless, booths are comfortable and the food was fresh and well presented. Will definitely visit again.

Visited Sat afternoon with family before a theatre show. A really lovely welcome & then fantastic service throughout from Vicky. She was so friendly & helped out with our various requests. We really appreciated how flexible she was & nothing was too much trouble. Pizzas were delicious & the whole meal was excellent value. Will be re-visiting again, mainly due to the fab service from Vicky!

Friendly staff, we were in a bit of a rush and they were very quick to bring our food out etc

Staff member Peter was fantastic and went above and beyond with his service. Not often you get such passionate and friendly service from a chain restaurant. Awesome pizza as expected

Just popped in after a lovely early evening meet-up with friends. Food was great here, as ever and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Topped off the evening for us. Thank you.

So clean and tidy. Service here is great too. Short lady with frizzy hair really helped me out with my collection order.

Visited again on Saturday the 20th of April 2024. Excellent service from Niamh. Quick meal today: garlic bread then panne pasta in tomato sauce with mushrooms. Extremely tasty! Visited the restaurant on Saturday 21st October 2023. Food was delicious, the atmosphere was great and the service from Vasiliki was 100%. Peter has created a great team! Visited the restaurant on a Wednesday evening around 7 p.m.. I haven't eaten in a pizza express for several years and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was really tasty, in fact, I had the best vegan pizza ever! The service was great - a chap called Pete took our order and he couldn't have been more helpful. My advice... Definitely worth a visit! Visited again on a Sunday. Excellent service and delicious pizza. Lovely! Again on a Wednesday, served by Jen - Excellent service!

Popped in for good before event , great service from Ian , lovely guy , top man , credit your company

The best Pizza Express that we have visited. The restaurant was super busy but the team was great and the food lovely.

Honestly could not fault it, staff were lovely, friendly and knowledgeable of the food and allergies information.

Lovely building, great staff, lovely food

If I have to cook the pizza myself, what do I need you for?

This place has a nice atmosphere. The pizza was amazing and the service was fast and the staff were quick and friendly. Recommend for pizza lovers.

Lovely staff that were super accommodating. This restaurant had a separate wheelchair accessible entrance, a toilet for disabled people and the tables are a good height for wheelchairs. The food was delicious, especially the dough balls that can be made vegan. They offer gluten free food and gluten free beer. Definitely worth it for an evening out.

A very clean pizza place. Food was good and service as well. We ordered a pizza, lasagna and some starters.

We went with my friend yesterday mid afternoon. My friend has a gluten free diet and it is a struggle to find option especially for pizza. The size of the gluten free and the filling was like a normal pizza. The food is delicious and the staff was very nice and good wine. recommandation.

Monday lunch 25.03.24 Had a lovely lunch of the duo Romana pizza with my friend. Both servers were cheerful and helpful. The lady server helped us with sorting out a bus route to a Travelodge. Nice atmosphere, pizza was delicious.

Helped find a suitable dish for me and was very patient despite taking a while to decide to order, great expirience thank you

Food of slightly below average status. Building and location good though. Staff good.

Great gluten free pizza with heat. Expertly done.

Perfection once again, time and time again, can’t fault. The food, service and atmosphere are spot on. Seen a couple of other reviews saying one of the better Pizza Expresses and yup, agreed!

Pizza Express is our go to pizza place, but this one stood out from others we have been to. Visited after the Luna New Year parade, so expected it to be busy. Place was very busy, but we were seated, drinks and pizza ordered quickly. The wait for the food and drinks was very short. The gentleman who served us, also must have served most the place as he seemed to be everywhere, yet nothing was an issue for him, he was really helpful. Love this place

Fantastic pizza, very friendly service and nice facilities. Recommended

We're regulars at the Pizza Express chain. Today was our first time to Manchesters King Street branch, a lunchtime out with my youngest as its half-term and were both off work/school. The King Street restaurant is spacious, clean and well designed. 10/10 for clean bathrooms. Now for the food. As per usual the dough balls were yummy, Pizza's full of flavour and plenty of toppings and the Chocolate Brownie delicious 😋 Compliments to those who made our meals. A big shout out to our servers Peter and Nina. 2 helpful, caring and friendly people who went above and beyond to make our dining experience at the King Street restaurant special. Lovely people to meet on Galentines Day. Thank you for a wonderful lunch all at King Street, Manchester. We'll definitely be back.

Consistently lovely food. Nice atmosphere and Peter looked after us well. 2 pizzas and a delicious pesto pasta shared between 3 people. See you again soon.

Had a great time at Pizza Express. The staff ((Peter and City fan Niamh) were superb and turned a potentially stressful situation into a great success. They were so friendly and fun - it really made a difference.

Fabulous experience. Great company, great food, great service and lovely staff. On arrival we were welcomed by Ian and shown to our table. Our children were made to feel very welcome too. Both Peter and Ian were very obliging and were perfectly attentive-not too much not too little. The food was delicious and atmosphere spot on. We were going to the AO arena and on asking were given perfect easy directions. On leaving the restaurant there were police manning a protest. Peter was very kind telling us to go straight over the road quickly to avoid trouble. He didn’t need to but it was very much appreciated.

Im very nervous to eat out because I have coeliac disease and many places aren't careful. I was really looked after and had a lovely meal! We were asked on arrival if we had any allergies, and I was given the menu and the allergens folder to check. Our server, the manager and the chef were all very helpful and friendly, and the food was delicious. I had Gluten Free Sloppy Giuseppe which was lovely, so I'd have it again. We needed VAT receipts for work and our server was happy to accommodate. Thank you all for looking after us, we had a really nice time :)

Lovely food as usual fabulous waitress, we were on table 11. Hard to mark the atmosphere as it was very quiet

I was out with my sister and friend on Saturday and we were all feeling hungry so we went in to Pizza Express on King Street in Manchester. We hadn't booked a table but fortunately it wasn't an issue. The Waiters were all very nice and we didn't wait long for our Pizzas. All of us had the Padana and we shared some Dough Balls. We all enjoyed our food and would definitely go back. My sister and I have the Pizza Express App so we also got 50% off each which we split with our friend and that was a lovely bonus.

Amazing service and incredible food everytime I go! Went here for my birthday with family and I think our servers name was Jo (from the name on the receipt) and Jo was fabulous and so helpful! Nothing was too much hassle! Food was incredible and we felt so taken care of the whole time we were there. My Mum brought a cake for me that had different coloured candles on and when we asked for a slice to be boxed up for my partner to take for his little girl, Jo asked what size slice and what coloured candle to leave on the slice for her and this little touch was so lovely! She was amazing and so caring, and the food was delicious! Had an absolutely amazing time today, thank you so much!

Clearly the best Pizza Express in the city centre - truthfully the others feel like cafés. The King Street branch, situated in a former stone built bank, has an air opulence. The pizzas are pricey in comparison to other city centre Italian restaurants that are more of an experience and fashionable. Having said all of that the service was excellent, the food was tasty and the staff were worthy of full marks. We will definitely be back. Update January 2024: Still great food (pizza) in a stunning building on a beautiful street in the city centre. The service is superb.

Peter was lovely and really went above and beyond to help! Great service, thankyou.

When in Manchester my friend and I always come here for a meal. We have never been disappointed. The beautiful building, decor, food, atmosphere and staff (especially Peter and Gina on this visit) are just perfect. We loved the Nicoise Salad which is worth every penny and the service is second to none. By far the best Pizza Express around! Give it a try.

Shocking place never eat there again staff and too stuck up 18 pound for a little pizza with barely anything on it just dough

Visited last week with my boyfriend and the service was excellent and the food was delicious. Special shout out to our server Hope who was amazing! Friendly and attentive.

I visited here with my friend and we were so happy with the service, surroundings and food. We came mid December. Don't know if it was Peter or not but he was very welcoming and put us in the "naughty corner"🙂. The waitress was great too, sorry can't remember her name. I have Coeliac Disease so it was such a huge relief to be treated as a "normal person" and that the staff were so knowledgeable about the importance of gluten free for a coeliac and to hear that they are accredited by Coeliac UK. Thanks again so much and looking forward to visiting again asap. I live in Blackpool having moved many years ago from Manchester. Think I'll move back so I can visit you more!

Peter is absolutely brilliant and made our lunch excellent! He is so friendly and really helpful with the food and my allergies! I love Pizza Express but he made it a really lovely lunch and looked after us very well! Gluten free pizza was delicious which is hard to find in restaurants!

As always fantastic Pizza great service fast service and doin value for money

Always enjoyed eating at pizza Express

Peter especially was very attentive from the moment we walked through the door until we left. He was very accommodating and very friendly. The food also came out very quickly and was tasty

Peter Kelly was so lovely this evening! I went in for a quick bite and he was friendly all throughout!

One of the best restaurant experiences we've had. The staff were so friendly, we came in out the rain on a Saturday with our 8month old in the pram late afternoon and was seated straight away in a perfect spot, offered a high chair and was very well looked after during our time. Highly recommend and a special thanks to our waitress 😊

Amazing food and customer service! Credits to MATT who took care of us tonight, made it a great experience! :)

Restaurant a bit on the cold side but excellent food

I am celiac, and we came back to this restaurant because they do a superb job of offering gluten free options. Our waiter was spectacular and made the best cup of mint tea made with love.

Really like this place. By far my favourite pizza express location.

We have visited this branch of Pizza Express on a couple of occasions in the past, and it is outstanding. From the warm welcome as you walk through the door to the grateful farewell as you leave it is a wonderful experience. My friend and I had a spa day in Manchester and when it came to being time for our evening meal we knew where we would like to go, even though the King Street Pizza Express was on the other side of town to where we were. Peter welcomed is as we arrived and helped us with our menu choices. The other members of the team were friendly and efficient too. We loved the tuna Niçoise salad and can highly recommend this. Brilliant food and service once again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

King Street Manchester - simply the best Pizza Express there is. The chefs here always get it spot on, and the waiting staff are amazing. When we were in they had to deal with one of those customers who’s clearly had a bad day and wants to take it out on someone. The staff stayed upbeat, attentive and polite. Fantastic all round.

Great experience, fantastic staff and service

Just got home after a fantastic meal at Pizza Express. We arrived... place was full, Paul, front of house, apologised and asked whether we would return after a phone call from him. Perfect, a pint round the corner and a call from Paul got us in. We arrived, placed close to kitchen and met the wonderful Matt. Very attentive, friendly and made our evening. Both Paul and Matt both went out of their way to look after us, we have had issues with registering with PE app.. Paul is kindly looking into this. Would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return. Thank you so much guys, much appreciated and look forward to seeing you again.

Excellent lunch with my friends. Food was delicious. The experience was made all the better by our fabulous waiter Peter, thank you!

I am extremely impressed with the quality and level of service I received at Pizza Express yesterday. My daughter is a member of the club and normally when we come to Manchester we use the Oxford road branch. We tend to find the level of service there is quite poor and the quality of the pizzas can be very hit or miss. We decided to try the Kings Street branch instead and instantly there was a HUGE difference!! The member of staff who greeted us, I think Amy was her name, was so friendly and bubbly. She came to us as soon as she saw us walk in the door. There has been times at Oxford Road the staff have noticed us arrive but still carried on with setting a table, or walk away in the opposite direction. She gave us plenty of time to look at the menu, and after ordering, read everything back to us to ensure she had heard correctly. Food came out hot, fresh, well presented and PERFECTLY made. In fact, so much so that my daughter ended up taking my pizza as it was the first time she said she had seen the sauce go right to the edges! The food tasted very very good and we ate absolutely everything. The portion size was perfect and we left feeling very content and happy. I gave feedback to the Manager, who was also very friendly. All the staff were a credit to the Pizza Express brand. The place was spotlessly clean, I never saw one table with dirty dishes left on it. Finally, thanks also goes to the design team/ fitters. I am only 5 foot tall and constantly give out about how high coat hooks are place inside toilet cubicle doors. This establishment is the one and only, WORLDWIDE, I have every seen two hooks, one placed at about 6ft and one about 3ft. INGENIOUS!! Keep up the good work.

Great experience yesterday taking the team out for a meal. We were looked after by Peter who was fantastic and very patient with all 20 of us. Thanks Peter :)

Visited twice for lunch this week on Monday and Thursday. Today (Thursday) really busy and great atmosphere. Very importantly staff always look after single diners and don't give them a rubbish small table at the back of the restaurant away from everyone else.

We come here regularly and it's always such a relaxing place! Great food and great service from Matt - many thanks for a lovely lunch! 💪

La mia pizzaexpress preferita, King street,staff molto molto attento,pizza buona, antipasto buonissimo....ci torno sicuramente

We bought our 3 year old grandson here yesterday for an early dinner. We had some delicious food and the childrens menu is really great value. We had such a good time as Ian and Peter were just so lovely to our grandson, they made him laugh and made our visit here feel really special. It was a fantastic way to end to a great day out. Thanks so much Ian and Peter (Mr Potato Head 😁)

Great meal at pizza express. It was a busy lunchtime but we were seated with our drinks and our good ordered in 6 minutes. It was a really nice atmosphere with very friendly staff. Food arrived a few minutes later and it was excellent. Well done everyone

Best Pizza Express we have been too! Staff were totally amazing especially Vicky so helpful and pleasant nothing was to much trouble. The staff at this restaurant are an asset to the business. Food was delicious. Highly recommend we will be back!!

Visited 20th October 2023. The best Pizza Express we have visited. The service was great and the staff amazing. Special thanks to Matt and Peter for being very helpful and accommodating. Will definitely visit again when next in Manchester.

Peter is amazing! Always great service - anticipates your every need and is really accommodating.

We went Saturday lunchtime and will be back. The service was amazing, my daughter has several allergies and they listened and understood perfectly what we needed,even adjusted order so that it was cheaper for us. Matt who served us was attentive, friendly and informative....highly recommned.

Such a great restaurant, service from Matt was first class and really made my sons birthday special 10/10

This is the best Pizza Express anywhere! Having eaten in Pizza Express branches throughout the country, the Manchester King Street branch is the best of the best. The food and more especially the fantastic, friendly staff are second to none!

We called with our friends from 🇩🇪 had a lovely meal the staff were so attentive took time to chat to our German friends so they will take this experience with them we will come and see these lovely people again keep up the good work

Not been in this one before, staff excellent specially Matt who was very helpful and attentive. Food was spot on and good price
