The best restaurants serving Pizza pasta food in England

Having visited this branch a fair few times I’ve always been pleasantly surprised by the attentive staff, always busy doing something, good service, attentive, but sadly that all went out the window on my recent visit. Walking down the stairs I was met (not physically, I was stood waiting for a short time) with two members of the ‘team’ slouching against the counter chatting. Hmmm. Ok. A third team member greeted me, and she was very pleasant and friendly. The other two, 1 male, 1 female, still slouched against the counter. And not just slouched, but slouched with arms crossed (when not on their phones!). Not a great view having people’s butts sticking out when you look up. Not a great advert. What really bugged me was the manager (I’m assuming he was the manager as not in uniform) was in the vicinity and was even chatting with them. Sorry but having been in hospitality for numerous years with my own premises if staff had done that they would be given jobs to do. There is always something that can be done which doesn’t include slouching and chatting. Maybe it’s the norm here? Let’s get to the ordering, the young slouching female team member came to take my order ‘what can I get ya’. Ok so no ‘are you ready to order?’ or ‘can I take your order?’ Order given, back to slouching. I guess walking 20 feet and saying those few words took all your energy? They were that busy slouching the ‘manager’ brought my starter! Either that or I’m a privileged customer…… So onto the food…..well I can honestly say this was the worst I’ve had at any pizza express, and usually at this branch it has been pretty good. The pizza was undercooked, pretty much raw from about inch and half in (and as a romana base it should be pretty well cooked, crispy, across the whole base), about a dozen bits of meat, 5 onion rings, few little bits of green pepper, sauce was, well, non existent as was the cheese, maybe they were running out? On previous visits I have not been able to fault the pizzas, always well cooked and crispy with decent amount of toppings and enough cheese that it ‘strings’ when you pull a slice off. Did I complain or make anyone aware, no because no one came to see how my meal was as they were too busy slouching and not looking at any customers, nor did they ask when my plate was cleared with a fair amount left on it. Poor show, but in fairness it was the slouching female that cleared and I don’t think interacting with customers was her forte! And for those who will say they use phones for their orders, this server had one table, mine, so I can’t see what she was doing on the ordering phone with no other guests ordering with her! Lastly, the temperature in the restaurant was decidedly cold, I can’t see that any heating was on at all, luckily I had a thick jumper on but i was still cold throughout my visit. Dubious as to if I will return as this visit has put me off to be honest.

Dont order from "fresh" pizza. Arrived 1 hour late, pizza and burger was cold, tried calling 4 times, no answer..

I recently visited Freddy's Chicken & Pizza and had a delightful experience that I'd love to share. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The atmosphere was casual yet inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal with friends or family. **Food Quality:** The highlight of the visit was, of course, the food. The chicken was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, bursting with flavor. The pizza was equally impressive, with a perfect crust and a generous amount of toppings. I particularly enjoyed the BBQ chicken pizza, which was a delightful fusion of savory and smoky flavors. **Service:** The staff at Freddy’s were exceptional. They were attentive and ensured that our orders were served promptly. They also took the time to check in on us to make sure everything was to our liking. **Cleanliness & Ambience:** The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable dining environment. The decor was modern yet cozy, which added to the overall dining experience. **Value for Money:** Considering the generous portions and the quality of the food, I found the prices to be very reasonable. It's a great place to enjoy a hearty meal without breaking the bank. **Overall:** I highly recommend Freddy's Chicken & Pizza to anyone looking for delicious, satisfying meals in a welcoming setting. Whether you’re craving crispy chicken or a tasty pizza, this place has it all. I will definitely be returning soon!

Pizza came smashed up and then complained to delivery driver who said i had to ring the office and i did and was told i would be refunded i cooked the kids dinner and then i have a knock at the door an hour later with a new order when everyone had anready eaten was told by the person on the phone that i was lieing about being told of a refund and that we wouldnt have eaten the last one if it was bad it wasnt eaten as hot sauce was spillied over the hole order so i wasted 55 pounds for nothing will never order from the newbury branch again

1 Star - Disappointing Portions for the Price Potato wedges This is the third time I’ve ordered sides from Domino’s, and every time, they’ve been half full. For how much they charge, it’s unacceptable to receive such small portions. It feels like I’m paying a premium for barely anything. I expect better, especially from a well-known brand like Domino’s. Really disappointing and frustrating when you’re expecting your money’s worth and consistently get let down. Not sure I’ll be ordering from here again unless they address this issue. Definitely not worth the price.

I don’t normally complain but they are charging nearly £30 for one pizza. I’m not sure I had any cheese on the pizza, if I did it was minimal and the pepperoni was wafer thin and had very little flavour!!! I won’t be going there again, I did wonder why it wasn’t busy in there!!

Wrong food, and terrible customer service from Andy, really shocked me. Avoid!

Another chain that does exactly what all the others do, great deals if you use the app and time it right but the pizzas are worth it if your sharing

Enjoyable visit to this pizza express branch. Service was good and food up to the usual pizza express standard. Decent value

The service during our visit was good but the food was underwhelming. The Padana pizza base was incredibly thin and undercooked to the point of being chewy. The margarita pizza my partner ordered was tasteless and the base, dry. Considering the price of these pizzas you'd expect significantly better quality. I suggest Pizza Express review the quality of their produce. I'd recommend avoiding and visit Bella Italia instead.

Absolutely superb , the pizzas are very tasty and the staff are really friendly too. Had a takeout large veggie pizza a couple of times recently. Wouldn't go anywhere else. By far they are the best at Papa Johns in Macc

Bad pizza. Won't be ordering fro. Here again.

Horribe Ordered a Large Pizza and gave me a Medium Pizza Ordered 6 WIngs gave me 4 Refused to refund or compensate Rude Customer Service DO NOT RECCOMEND

Family treat for our eldest daughters 21st birthday. We all opted for the buffet, which I think everyone else in the restaurant did. Had to wait a while for veggie pizzas to come out, but was nice. Although the deep pan ones came out after I'd finished eating, which was annoying as I prefer deep pan. Tomato pasta was very nice, I had 2 bowls. Only 2 of us had salad, but it looked nice. There were signs for manager special pizzas, but signs didn't say what they were, which would've been handy. Was very expensive for what we had, but it was very nice, hot food and will probably visit again,but only as a treat for a birthday. Thank you.

Second appalling experience at this branch. Again, ordered a pizza (more fool me) - waited an hour for delivery, APP said pizza had been delivered, rang branch to check and was told driver had broken down. Fine - that happens but no one thought to let us know ? Girl assistant really couldn’t care less. Asked for refund. Was told I would have to wait 3 days. Still no refund. Thats twice now Ive been ripped off by these people. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CUSTOM. I am spreading the word.
