This Pizza Express is a new branch and therefore the decor is lovely. One side of the restaurant is floor to ceiling glass, so sit there if you'd like to people watch.
The food here is the same decent quality stuff that you expect from the chain. I recently had three courses here and the vast majority of it was great, so I shall only highlight the minor negatives.
We ordered the sharing platter of dough balls which upon arrival were too hot. They come with little bowls of dip because they're meant I be finger food but hold these little nuggets of lava for more than a second and you'll hurt your fingers.
More importantly, one of the toppings (bacon) of my pizza was accidentally excluded. I didn't notice at first, but about five minutes into the main course a waitress hurried over and tipped bacon onto my pizza as she very nicely apologised for the error.
These two points really are minor and I had to struggle to think of anything to criticise. The food was lovely and my company had no complaints either.
The service was impeccable. Our waitress for the evening was lovely. Very fast at fulfilling requests, equally attentive and just the right level of chatty. She received about a 20% tip in the end because we felt she deserved it.
A bottle of Merlot, a shared platter of dough balls, two pizzas and two desserts came to just under £60. Great value in my opinion. read more
