Hello, my name is Jemma, and I'm a Pizza Express addict. There, I confessed, now give me a break. I love Pizza Express. I'm usually a regular at the Albert Dock branch because it's more convenient for me, but I do really like this branch. It's located inside an old bank, which makes you feel like you're getting a side of heritage with your pizza. However, as an addict, I would give up the heritage for aside of garlic dough balls!
Obviously, the menu is the same in every Pizza Express but if you're a virgin (unlucky you) I'll advise you on my favourites. Here goes: for a starter I would get the dough balls every time - boring maybe but that way you get some yumminess but still have room for the next two courses! Gem (another Pizza Express addict - maybe they should start up rehabilitation?!!) would always, without fail, pick the bruschetta, which does look delicious but I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes. For the main, we would both have Pollo de Astra on the Romana base (a fancy term for extra extra thin).... it is literally heaven on a 14" plate. Admittedly, I've only had dessert once due to the excess gorging on the starter and the main - once we managed to squeeze in a chocolate fudge sundae type thing which really did finish me off. It was worth it though.
Note: if you're going out with a group, or even the two of you, always check the internet for vouchers as you can often get 50% off, or main meals for £1 etc. which really makes a difference to your bank balance! read more
