I visited for lunch; my friend and I weren't particularly hungry so we shared a pizza. I've heard great things about pizza express' pizzas, but I couldn't help but feel i was left a bit disappointed.
We ordered the Giardiniera, which has artichokes, mushrooms, red peppers, marinated santos tomatoes, leeks, olives, garlic oil, and tomato for topping. The topping tasted great, it was a really lovely combo, the base was slightly charred. It was lovely and soft when we first started cutting into it, but as it cooled it became hard and really difficult to cut, in turn difficult to chew...on the plus side they do provide u with a pizza cutter. We ordered a side of polenta chips which to be honest were not to my liking, had a weird consistency and a tangy dipping sauce.
The best part in my opinion was the dessert I had the mini chocolate brownie with a hot chocolate.....and its egg free by the way! It was smooth and bittersweet, very rich, but a little dense so I think a mini size was just right for it. The hot choc was great with whipped cream on top.
The restaurant looked good, bathroom was very clean, staff were very helpful and friendly, but considering the quality of food we got for the price I wasn't too impressed and I don't think I'll visit again, not when there's so many more independent pizzeria's around. read more
