Male hostess rude and unfriendly. He really ruined the experience with his unfriendly cold unwelcoming attitude.

Got to town late on the train and our hotel recommended this place. Not sure what the bad review on here is all about, this place was so delicious!! My husband and I devoured a Spicy Giuseppe pizza and a side of broccolini, and we took a pizza back to the hotel for our daughter. Our daughter devoured her entire pizza as well. Looking forward to going back before we leave. read more

Pizza Express has impressed me greatly. They are the first pizzeria that I know of, to actually have a vegan pizza listed on their menu in Belfast. I had dinner here last night and tried the vegan pizza which is called a Pianta. Topped with mushrooms, spinach, pine kernels, artichokes and a spicy tomato sauce, it was absolutely delicious. I really didn't need to add anything to it and just used some garlic olive oil for the crusts. Beautiful food with a great balance of flavours and a crispy thin base second to none. This Pizza Express restaurant is just the same as others in the chain with bright modern décor. Service from staff was flawless and my glass of Chardonnay as good as I would get anywhere. Prices are reasonable plus there's a relaxed, family orientated atmosphere. A great and reliable restaurant which really shouldn't be overlooked due to it being part of a chain. I would highly recommend Pizza Express and they offer lots of gluten free, low calorie (Legerra) and vegetarian options too. read more

I do love pizza express and especially the Leggera pizza which makes me feel like I am being semi healthy. This particular restaurant does not offer anything different than any other restaurant in the chain however I felt the service is great in this one we were greeted on arrival and given our choice of seats as it was quiet when we arrived however it didn't take long for it to fill up. I dined with Ciara S who had heard they offered a vegan pizza and the waiter was quick to point out which one this was. The Pollo Leggera pizzas as beautiful and tasty and I was offered additional Parmesan and garlic oil which added even more flavour to the pizza. Service was exceptionally quick and even when we had finished our meal we weren't made to feel like we needed to vacate the table immediately. A great example of a chain restaurant making it feel like one of a kind. read more

Pizza Express is a great place for a dinner, though the service was a little slow if I'm to be honest. We went here for our halls night out and the food seemed to take ages (but that could have been reflected on the company...) One person did happen to drop her entire pizza on the floor whilst trying to cut it and out of embarrassment did not ask for another one. We all shared and she had plenty. It was a grand night. The food is really good, a bit pricey certainly worth it. You can get literally anything on your pizza (that is edible) so if you fancy a pizza night out, and with a few pubs dotted around it, I would definately recommend it. read more

This pizza was among the top 5 I've ever had and that is saying something for someone who eats pizza every Friday night! First the staff was warm and welcoming. The pesto dough balls were warm and zesty. We ordered a the the host's suggestion, Calibrese pizza which was fantastic with a bit a spice and smooth, creamy Buffalo mozzarella finished with red chili and greens- sweet and spicy all in one! The burnt ends pizza was just as amazing with authentic tasting pork burnt ends and a thin crispy crust that is to die for! The pork star martini was sweet and went down like honey. If you get the chance stop in and get some! read more

.... and then I went back the next day... OMG!! Customer service was on point! The pizza was hot and fresh! It was absolutely an amazing experience... probably should update the times in this app so it's it misleading, though. Thanks PE!! read more

Got to love Pizza Express. As an ex-pizza artist from Pizza Hut I know what makes a good pizza...and Pizza Express did not fail to disappoint. The pizza base was perfectly thin, and their toppings were evenly finger spaced apart. Looks-wise it defeated dominos typically messy and rushed pizzas. Taste-wise I went for the American Hottest. This pizza "expressed" great taste with every bite. The waiter was friendly and had a bit of bant. He earned his £3 tip. The restaurant was busy for a Wednesday night but food still served on time. I left feeling a bit like Arnold Swarzenegor in Terminator. Saying to myself..."I'LL BE BACK!" read more

We were in Belfast for a couple of nights and wanted a good pizza close to the hotel. We didn't find one here, unfortunately. We went for a vegetarian option on a Romano base which I think was meant to be 'thin-crust / crispy' - it was the former but not the latter: soggy base with minimal toppings (not this is a bad thing, many places go overboard with toppings). For the price, it just didn't provide enough to make me want to go back. If you like pizza there are probably better choices - don't get me wrong they weren't bad pizzas, just not worth the asking price. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Pizza Express this week - the service was spot on (in Pizza Express terms, read 'a little relaxed'), the food was delicious, and I really liked the addition of the restaurant manager's business card on the table so that patrons could contact him with feedback. As we're not local, we also asked for some advice in terms of where to get a quick pint, and the waitress was more than helpful. read more

Absolutely the rudest people I have ever had the experience with. The pizza was dry and the toppings tasted old. Spend your money with people who actually care more about food and customers. read more

Pizza Express is a great place for a date or for a bite with friends. The atmosphere is really chilled out and the restaurant is really clean and modern. The menu hosts a wide variety of different pizzas (and I've had one with half a salad on top!) so they really cater fr every taste! I love their pasta dishes and their salads are fab! Thy have a great wine menu (yay) and also offer beers and soft drinks. I often call into here before hitting the cinema to fill up before a movie (and still get huge popcorn portions) and the service and food standards really do never slip! Big fan of pizza express! read more

30 minute wait for food on a Wednesday night? Staff were very honest & friendly but still disappointed. Very full restaurant, maybe needs a bigger kitchen or more chefs? read more

The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, however the pizza was very disappointing as it wasn't properly cooked.

I met up with 3 ole work colleagues yesterday (Thurs 23 June) for a meal at Pizza Express on Bedford Street. We tend to meet up every 3 or 4 months and often use Pizza Express because of there promotional offers. Yesterday I brought the 2 for 1 vouchers advertised online. The Bedford St restaurant has a nice ambience to it - probably because it is nearly always buzzing. There was a fair mix - even at 5.30pm - of couples, small groups and families - a combination that works nicely in terms of creating a nice laid back atmosphere. The service was pretty chilled out - as we were given plenty of time to chat - and only occasionally asked if we wanted to order. We were well supplied with drinks. Our main waitress proved to be very attentive if perhaps a little sullen. We all enjoyed our pizzas - 3 of the company went for ole favourites such as the Sloppy Guiseppe - whereas I went for one of the specials which was a fairly zingy affair with plenty of jalepnos etc. Well sated - we just had coffees after our pizzas. I guess that would be a minor criticism of mine - the cappuccino I invariably have - whilst decent quality - is a bit small - it would be nice for it to be a little more substantial. But - despite a fair few glasses of wine (or a couple of large bottles of Perion in my case) - the 2 for 1 vouchers meant that the 4 of us escaped with a bill each of £20 including a decent tip. Would deffo recommend Pizza Express and particularly this one - Bedford St - (for some reason the Pizza Express on Lisburn Road and in Victoria Square can't quite match the ambience of Bedford St). read more

It feels funny reviewing a chain...I guess it is what it is...or is it? I've been to Pizza Express twice this week. It's not a habit, I promise. Tonight I was in the Bedford Street branch which feels pretty different from the Lisburn Road one. They do a good job of personalising each branch which does set this chain apart. This branch is bright and friendly, situated close to a cinema so it's the venue for many an afterwork outing with my friends. I really like the Pizza Express menu. I don't eat bread and they have some good options like the Melanzane Parmigiana and some really interesting salads. I had a salad of chicken and roasted vegetables tonight which came with some delicious looking breadsticks. They looked a touch over-done but as I said I don't eat bread so I didn't think anything of that. However, a few minutes after starting to eat, our waiter appeared with some fresh breadsticks as he had noticed they were slightly over toasted. How lovely. I hadn't the heart to tell him that I didn't eat bread. We had some vouchers for free main course when you buy another main so our bill was TINY! Really good value. They email these vouchers out regularly so it's worthwhile getting on their mailing list! read more

Just ok, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to return. The staff were great, and got us to a table straight away, and the restaurant itself has a comfortable atmosphere. However, whilst the menu is pretty good and the food is fresh, the portions are light for the price. When I got my pizza, I really couldn't understand how the price is reflected. Our meal came to approximately £50 for 2 mains, 2 drinks and a dessert- I think there are better places to eat for that bill. read more

My wife and I paid a visit here last night. Good job we booked online as the place was packed. Started with bottle of sparkling water to wash down the sharing doughball platter with spicy harissa, pesto and garlic butter. For main we shared a calzone and polenta chips. The calzone was deliciously filled and the pastry was cooked to perfection. Polenta chips tasted great also. Not bad for £24!! read more

Jay Rayner once said that this was one of the few chain restaurants a family could go to and be a assured of a reasonable standard of food. Ok, that wasn't quite verbatim but that's what was eluded to. I headed with my girlfriend a couple of months back, taking advantage of the Times offer, it was either buy one get one free or 50% off, either way... win. All the restaurants share a similar decor. This one is bare old brick walls, warm lighting, Italian influences strewn across the place. The menu is varied, they have square stone baked pizzas, standard Italian types, oddly polo-shaped ones without a centre (and filled with salad instead to cut down on calories and white carbs) I opted for a pizza with cured ham and sweet hot peppers. Superbly crisp and chewy at the same time. Salty ham mixed with a chilli kick and that fructose sweetness from the peppers. All washed down with a bottle of Peroni Gran Reserva (not the most advanced or developed lager I've had but an improvement over the usual watery yellow muck) All in all, cheap, quick service and solid food. This probably isn't somewhere you want to go for any kind of special occasion, but for a quick bite it's great. read more

This is a nice restaurant, with a great menu thats a little different to other pizza places. There's a nice atmosphere in here, and the staff have always been friendly and the service great. Its a little pricey though compared to other similar places so i wouldn't go all the time. read more

This is a lovely restrant and th food is really tasty. The service however can be a little slow so dont just nip in for a quick pizza as if your to be somewhere you could end up being late. read more

Great pizza's. Very tasty and filling. The Romana pizza is so yummy, only problem is i refuse to share it! Next time I'm going to try the Pianta, as vegan! The restaurant itself can sometimes be really noisy as tables are very close together and sometimes theres a lot of kids, so it wouldnt be the most romantic! But for a quick bite when you cant be annoyed cooking, its fab. Great deals to if you sign up on their website. read more

This is a great Pizza Express which has always provided fast and friendly service. Of course it tastes just like any other pizza express that you may go to but who's complaining. I always go for La Reine with extra artichoke hearts. Great central location. read more

Wonderful restaurant lovely atmosphere and fantastic menu. Staff are always friendly and service is very good. Well worth a visit!!

Really nice family orientated restaurant. Pizzas are pretty tasty and good value for money.

I thought this particular Pizza Express was mediocre. I took advantage of the orange wednesdays offer to get 2 free starters (garlic bread or dough balls) and buy 1 pizza get 1 free. The dough balls were okay and their dip simply looked and tasted like a ramekin of hard butter. The dough balls in Frankie and Bennies in Victoria Square were alot better. I picked some speciality pizza with prawns that came with a side serving of flavoured oil but wasn't overly fond of it. I have been to another Pizza Express in London and thoroughly enjoyed it so this review is only a reflection of this particular restaurant. read more

love the dough balls
