They were able to seat us as walk ins and served us rather quickly. The gluten free pizza tasted like a regular pizza and not like a cardboard box. The pasta was rather good as well. read more

Friendly staff, good variety of food, worth the money, great location. Happy we found this place.

We wanted something quick and easy, and pizza express sounded like the best bet. It was surprisingly pricey, with most pizzas being between £12-15. The service was also pretty slow considering it has "express" in the name. The dough balls were good, as was the beef rigatoni. The biggest qualm is with the pizza itself. The American Hot was not hot or spicy, despite getting all three peppers on it. It was listed as "thin crust," but this crust was literally see through on most pieces. The dough seems to have been stretched so thin, so you're getting very little out of each bite. 'Twas a bummer. read more

Not that I'm cheap, but there has been a recession and all that don't you know... Pizza Express offer a 2 for 1 special on wednesdays through Orange. Just print off a voucher from the website and voila Pizza for cheaper (say it, it rolls of the tongue nicely). With the Odeon just behind it at the Red Dragon centre, you can have nice little night out with the loved one for about £20 The Bay's view is beautiful, It's situated right by the corner of the bay and oversee's the Millennium centre, National assembly and the water. The decor inside is very modern and gives the place a real expensive feel as the brooding black marble and dark wood decorates the restaurant through out. Food-wise you can't really go wrong here, thinner bases and fresh ingredients make all the difference in fine dining. Calabrese is new to the menu and my current fave there to recommend to you. Be careful though, it's hotter than a game of Twister with the cast from Hollyoaks! read more

Pizza Express - From official website - Pizza Near Me - Cardiff, CRF

This is my all time favourite Pizza Express. Its got everything, the views are great, the atmosphere is perfect and the service is always top class. Its always busy so we often have to wait, especially on Wednesday when it's hard to resist the Orange 2 for 1 deal. But also there are usually other deals too if you go to their web page. There's nothing better that good food, except for cheaper good food. They seem to expect the busyness so they have a little seated area to wait which is nice. My prepared pizza is a Padano with chicken and they do it so well here that I never get bored of it. I wish Pizza wasn't so full of fat because I would eat here all the time. I've never had a salad, but even they look great! And the wine is really good too. read more

Pizza Express have the perfect location in the bay area, it has a high visibility on the corner of a street with a circular design to the windows that unique, every one who visits the bay has to pass by, you can't help but go there. There a lot of competition from other pizzerias but the location makes the difference at street level with ample indoor seating and out door patio. You'll find the pizzas taste great but nothing to write home about and the service is swift. The pricing is inexpensive and I would choose them over a Pizza Hut any day. read more

Okay...... I'm going to admit something very serious.... and I'm going to humbly request to my fellow Yelp foodies to not show up as an angry pitchfork-wielding mob to my house! I don't like pizza. Okay, there, I said it. I certainly don't MIND pizza - it's not disgusting to me, but I most definitely don't care for it! Pizza can disappear from my life forever and I wouldn't bat an eyelash! Well, Pizza Express certainly changed my mind. Now I realised that I've just rarely ever had GOOD pizza before. Pizza Express is fantastic! -- Calamari -- I'm a huge fan of calamari and Pizza Express makes them fantastic! The batter is lovely and crisp and the tartare sauce they serve with it works really well. Every time I visit Pizza Express I always make sure to order a set of these! -- Padana -- In terms of pizza, I'm a huge fan of the Padana. Although it's a vegetarian pizza and I'm normally a meat eater, the tastes in the Padana pizza are just way too satisfying and refined. The light and thin crust is topped with goat's cheese, mozzarella, tomato, amaazzzinnng caramelised onion, red onion, and finished with garlic oil. Seriously, I would probably order it for the caramelised onion on its own. Trust me - it's worth skipping out on the meat options for. Even if you're a carnivore like me! --- When it comes to high quality pizza, Pizza Express doesn't disappoint. If I'm going to be nitpicky, the only negative side is that for some reason, they're really bad at cutting the pizza (the crusts ALWAYS come glued together that I always find myself ripping non-pizza shaped bits off). Regardless, 5 stars for the flavour above everything else. If Pizza Express can make someone who is 'meh' about pizza have a very happy meal, then it's good enough for you! read more

This is a very cosy and a relaxing environment where delicious food is served and which is cooked with great delicacy and creativity. To inspire your imagination and to attract all of your five senses that will properly explode with shiver down your spine in sight of the wonderful Chefs cooking the pizzas right on view. As a very hot sizzling fire crackles away inside the unique cooker that you see heat up the pizzas there and then, right on view for everyone to see, who sits in there restaurant. You can see the cooks creating the pizza on the work tops there as well... It certainly makes this pizza restaurant more unique a place of atmosphere than any others in Cardiff to visit. The employees that do work there are very welcoming and friendly. You can order more than just pizzas there such as Lasagne and a fair few more meal options as well. I recommend this place to all especially to all pizza fans! This particular restaurant is situated down in Cardiff Bay. read more

I know its a chain so you probably think if you've been to one you been to them all. No so. I have been to a few and this one by location, design and food beats many of the others including the city centre branch. You can't book so you will often have to queue but it won't be for long and the wait is worth it. On a summers day they can open up 1/4 of the restaurant to let even more light in to its bright, airy and circular structure. So having bigged this place up I have to mention 2 the occasions (out of a dozen times I've been there) that we were not entirely happy. The first was when the manager took ages to seat us even though the restaurant was seemingly half empty. And the second time was on a bank holiday and we had to complain about the state on the toilets not something you would thing would be a problem in a place like this. Overall though, even if you're not a fan of chain restaurants, this is worth an exception. read more

Pizza express is a chain of restaurants that most people have heard of and that most people have been to before. So why am I reviewing it I hear you ask. Well... not only is this particular reataurant situated in the beautiful surroundings of Cardiff Bay. It also has a lovely feel to it and serves great food by great people. On a sunny day they open the glass doors and seat people outside. Also at the minute if you google Pizza Express there are so many websites offering 2 for 1 vouchers. I suggest you get hold of one of these before you go, as when the bill is that much smaller it makes the food taste that much better. I can recommend most of the menu but in particular give the Tricolore a go from the starters menu and the Il Padrino a go from the mains. Happy dining! read more

While there are many places in Cardiff Bay to get a decent taste of Italy, the king of pizzas is undoubtedly Pizza Express. With a brand name that gives it an advantage over lesser known local restaurants, Pizza Express usually attracts a lot of custom from those seeking a venue to satisfy their pizza cravings. With a name like Pizza Express, it is to be expected that there will be a wide variety of doughy dishes available; luckily, they do not disappoint. Ranging from the basic Margherita to more complex options such as the Gustosa (prosciutto cotto ham, light mozzarella, portobello mushroom, yellow and thyme), Pizza Express has every pizza option imaginable and will surely please even the fussiest of diners. They even offer lighter options, where each pizza has a fresh salad replacing the centre of the dough, which is great piece of mind for those who are on a diet or counting calories. The restaurant itself is quite a large space filled with tables that are, more often than not, packed with happy customers. They have also recently introduced a takeaway option for those who want to enjoy a great tasting pizza at home without having to use typical options such as Dominos or Pizza Hut. Pizza Express is the ideal place to indulge in a great tasting pizza in the heart of Cardiff Bay. read more

There's not much I can say about this Pizza Express that hasn't been offered already, other than the fact you can catch live jazz at this particular location on Sunday evenings (it's worth giving them a call to confirm as the frequency varies). So you can enjoy your dough balls amid the music of a very talented jazz trio - it beats burgers at nearby GBK any day, I think. Even better, you can use those 2-4-1 vouchers on Sundays, enabling you to gobble a reasonably priced meal and listen to live music for under £10 per person. Not a bad way to end the weekend, if you ask me. Live music aside, I think this is the best Pizza Express in town, as the service is always friendly, and the views of the Bay trump any you'd get in the St Mary Street or St David's 2 locations. read more

I'm not sure why you would go to a Pizza Express when there are plenty of other Italian restaurants available. My pasta was only so-so and definitely not quite worth the price I had to pay for it. All-in-all the meal wasn't bad and the ambience was fine but it just felt like we could have gone to another (proper) Italian place and got better food for the same price. read more

In one of the prime locations on the corner of Roald Dahl Plas in Cardiff Bay, giving great views out across the water in Summer, Pizza Express is a very nice restaurant with a good standard menu. At busy times it can feel a bit crowded as the tables are possibly a bit too close together, but on a Monday or Tuesday night it's a lovely cosy little spot. Some of the more unusual menu items are worth checking out, and it's good to see a pizza menu which goes a little bit beyond the normal 'meat feast', 'pepperoni', 'Hawaiian' and so on. The standard menu is a little expensive but there are always all sorts of different money-off and discount vouchers to be found on Pizza Express's web site and in other places such as Tesco Clubcard deals, meaning that if you play your voucher cards right you can end up eating on the cheap too. read more

This branch of PizzaExpress is in a great position in Cardiff Bay. The views are great from the window tables or at the tables outside the restaurant. It is very popular and always busy. The quality of the food is excellent and service in our experience has also been excellent. We have not had a disappointing experience yet. The grandchildren enjoy the childrens menu which is excellent value and good choices. They particularly enjoy the garlic dough balls and the babycchino at the end of their meal. Atmosphere is busy although noise levels can be a little high. There is a good mix of customers from families to pensioners. read more

This Pizza Express is in a great position,with views overlooking Cardiff Bay.The pizzas are a bit expensive but definitely worth it as they taste divine. Service is good and staff are very pleasant. Cardiff Bay is ideal for a day out and a meal at pizza express rounds it off!! read more

My partner & I visited this restaurant & I have to say it is the worst pizza express we've ever been to. Firstly on arriving I thought we were invisible, as we found our own seats that were still cluttered from the previous diners, we sat down. We asked the lady who was wiping the table next to us for a menu, in which she ignored us, when my fiancé asked her again as he thought she hadn't heard him she snapped " alright I DID hear, one moment please". We were shocked & lost for words, I thought well if she did hear then why didn't she answer the first time or acknowledge us. Very rude waitress!! Food was average, rude staff!! We won't be returning. read more

Although it is better than other available pizza places like Pizza Hut, I was still slightly disappointed. The food just did not taste fresh, and prices were a little steep for the quality of food received. Other then that there was good service. read more

This is the second Pizza Express in Cardiff, the only big difference in this chain restaurant is the location. Cardiff Bay is a really nice area to visit for the day and the Pizza Express has such a modern expensive feel like everything else which is built here. This restaurant is usually less busy than the Pizza Express in the centre of Cardiff. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. Great for my first time to Pizza Express. Would recommend for an easy going, casual night out with friends. read more

Great location in the heart of the bay, however its quite small here and ges very busy meaning it takes them a while to cook your food, however it is definately worth waiting for its gorgeous! read more

As with 99% of Pizza Express Restaurant you know what you're going to get. So pretty much what you'd expect. Not a bad place though, I've got no problem with PE and to be honest quite like it. read more

The location of this restaurant is what makes it stand out from the crowd. Its huge windows look out across Cardiff Bay. I can happily spend hours people-watching here, while at the same time enjoying a great meal. The food is consistently good and the staff are good humoured and attentive. Children do not phase them and this restaurant is used by both families and single people. The Pizza Express menu is the same across all its branches, but here it always seems to taste especially good. Pizza, pasta, salads, soup, yummy desserts, the list goes on. Lovely starters with olives and tomatoes. The coffees are delicious too. I recommend this branch whole-heartedly. read more

Really very pleasantly surprised by a visit the other week to Pizza Express in Cardiff Bay.... a self-confessed pizza snob, I was expecting a decidedly average and doughy 'chain' pizza, which wasn't at all what I got! ... I even tried the Romana Pomodoro Pesto (and I'm even more of a pesto snob than I am a pizza snob!)... Thin and, for me, perfectly cooked base with good quality ingredients... the 'pesto' looks like it's some kind of pesto butter, but it's to be forgiven as part of a pretty good all round package... .Sat outside and service was a little sluggish, but otherwise surprisingly well done. And I never thought I'd be writing that about this chain! read more

Really like Pizza Express. This restaurant is situated in a lovely part of Cardiff. Took the children for a birthday treat. Staff really attentive. Whilst visiting the ladies, a child had locked herself in the toilet and the staff were there immediately to resolve the situation and free ice cream was provided. Would go again. read more

How we rejoicedwhen this branch opened! The same high standards as you would find in most branches of this child -friendly outfit and in a beautifull setting. The restaurant is set in a circular pattern with a sweeping arc of windows so there are lots of window seats. The staff are excellent in this branch and the quality of the food is always reliable. We have visited on several ocassions and have never been disappointed. The wine list is terrific and now that the walkway from the barrage is open to pedestrians, we can now walk from Penarth to have our lunch here! Parking isn't great in this area so this is a real bonus. read more

I came here without previously ever been to a Pizza Exspress, i loved it, the pizza was ace, the service was excellent and i had a great day out... I will be going back read more

One of the busiest restaurant in cardiff bay. fantastic pizza in a good friendly atmosphere. Children are catered for and even given little activities to keep them occupied. The service and sometimes be slow but it is often worth it. Booking is strongly advised. Disabled access is good but there is no obvious near by parking. read more

Food was amazing - wish I could say the same about the customer service. We were unaware we had to queue at the entrance as there was no sign directing us to that, and we were unfortunately treated as a minority for failing to do so. Would not visit this particular restaurant again but would invest in other locations. read more

One of many restaurants in the Cardiff Bay area where booking a table is recommended. Good quick service, no complaints at all :)

Great location in the bay. Good pizza -slightly on the expensive side but worth it. Staff are pleasant but service can get slow on busy days. read more

Cannot go wrong here. My friend and I absolutely love this place. The pizza's are amazing and the desserts are just delish! Great value for money, especially if you can pick up one of their vouchers. The staff are always friendly and so helpful. And its in a great location down Cardiff Bay, its really nice if they seat you by the windows so you can look out and admire the views while your waiting for your food! read more
