    Pieroni for the hubby and Aperol Spritzer for me
    Hazel C.

    We were in such dire need of food after getting off the Eurostar and checking in our hotel that we needed to eat somewhere close ASAP! Pizza Express was only a couple of doors down from our hotel and We hoped that the "express" part of their name means we're going to get our food fast. As it was after 2 pm, there were only a few tables occupied in the entire place. We got seated right away, and ordered as soon as we finished looking at the menu. The hubby ordered the American Pizza and I ordered their Pollo Pesto with a small salad. For drinks, the hubby had a bottle of Peroni and I had an Aperol Spritzer. Both were very refreshing! The hubby was not impressed with the pizza. He said it wasn't very flavorful and with the thin crust, he was still hungry after having the whole thing. I had to supplement his lunch with my pasta. My pesto pasta was good and very filling, especially with slices of chicken breast on top. Service was good, as the place was almost empty, and the restaurant offers gluten-free options if that is your thing. We did not go back there again during our stay in London. Their pizza disappointed the hubby and we're not much for chain restaurants. And if you're really hungry when you dine here, order an appetizer before having your pizza or, better yet, order a pasta instead to appease your hunger.

    Walked in here on a Wednesday evening, visiting from brussels on a business trip. Very busy place! Ideal for a quick (relatively expensive) bite. I wouldn't come here for a romantic night out. Pizza was ok. Flavours were perfect but the dough was too wet to make it the perfect pizza. What really made it a nice experience was the staff. I went to eat alone so I had plenty of time to watch the staff... and they all seemed so happy with a lot of attention to the clients, despite the place being very crowded. Well done pizza express and compliments to your staff!

    You would have to be very convincing to get me to eat any type of Italian food even if it's as basic as pizza. This was a very pleasant surprise as I'm used to just seeing very oily and boring pizza. I ordered the build your own pizza romana with lite sauce and cheese and smoked ham. It was excellent! It was thin and not too crispy and was not greasy at all. I especially liked the ham. Will definitely visit whether we feel like getting Italian again.

    Americano (pepperoni) with mushrooms added.

    I've been to THIS Pizza Express before? Who knew??? I used to go to the one on Baker Street near Dorsett Square a lot. I've always liked the pizza and the salads are good. The Americano is sauce, cheese and peperoni. It can be sort of tough to get peperoni "right" overseas. The US over-spiced and salty version is what I like. On this point Pizza Express does a fantastic job. Their crust is pretty good too.

    Service is as cold as the pasta. Overstaffed in the afternoon, and still dont manage to deliver a warm pasta or a smile.

    Oh my what a happy accident! Flew to London on last minute…read morebusiness. Met w Associates from Dubai and Australia. We had planned on going to a gem down the way but they were booked. Bilal had remembered an area nearby and we walked there. It was a rainy one and legging it was nice only because the rain mercifully slowed for a few minutes. We smelled something great. Walked for a bit and all three of us looked at each other and said... Let's go back to the wonderful smell! So glad we did. Our server spoke w Mo in Italian and was so sweet. The items are very reasonably priced. Check out the pics. All food was gone!

    Oh my gosh -- this was genuinely the worst restaurant experience I've ever had in the UK…read more We politely mentioned that we didn't enjoy one of the pasta dishes and simply requested a small modification. Instead of trying to resolve the issue professionally, the owner became extremely rude and dismissive. Shockingly, he brought us the bill immediately, refused to serve the rest of the items we had already ordered (including the tiramisu), and directly asked us to leave the restaurant. We were calm and respectful throughout the interaction, but he refused to even listen to our side before abruptly ending the conversation with, "I'll get your bill," and telling us to leave. I honestly don't know whether he was irritated because we had an infant with us or because we requested a modification, but the behaviour was completely unacceptable and deeply disappointing. I still can't believe a restaurant in London could treat customers this way. Truly unbelievable service and an experience I would never want anyone else to go through. We initially ordered 3 items. The pizza was absolutely fine, so we never raised any concern about it. However, the pasta simply didn't suit our taste buds, so we politely requested a few alterations. Instead of handling it professionally, you refused to serve the tiramisu as well -- assuming we'd dislike that too and ask for modifications? Honestly, I wish I had taken a picture of the pasta to show how it looked. As a restaurant owner, you should understand that every customer has different taste preferences. And just for clarification -- we never asked for the pasta to be cancelled. In fact, we were even willing to pack it and take it home after paying for it, despite not liking the taste. You were the one who offered to cancel the remaining order, and we simply agreed. I would humbly request whoever is in charge to please check the CCTV footage and see whether we were ever rude while requesting alterations. Throughout the interaction, you only kept speaking from your side and didn't even give my wife a chance to explain. Is that really what good customer service looks like?

    Paesan translated is a friendly greeting for your friend, buddy, homeboy…read more Keeping that traditon, Paesan near to Exmouth Market, is a fun, easy pasta spot with exposed brick and filamented lightbulbs, run by a friendly crew of Italians who will make you feel right at home. The upstairs is a corner view onto a street with dark woods and leather booths, while inside an open kitchen and a low-key young crew is putting out some simple, tasty food. Mostly appetizers, pastas and some pesce and carne dishes. Not a destination, but a good spot and one of the few restaurants on the street open on a Sunday. The downstairs basement hosts a cocktail bar that was closed on the Sunday we visited. We enjoyed the feel of the place, along with a bit of montepulciano d'abruzzo, some olives, a green salad, pork belly and a toothsome risotto with zucchini and prawns. Not a bad meal, priced pretty well, and a nice setting with friendly staff. We had such a good time that we failed to notice the police inspectress inside talking to the Paesan crew. The white and red police tape line both inside and outside the restaurant were in our peripheral view the whole dinner, but once outside, we noticed that a gigantic police triangle of tape took up the entire street corner, a female inspector was stationed there, and that down on the cobblestone sidewalk, a streetful of dessicated lemon and lime wedges lay from the night before, leading us to ponder, what exactly had happened here?

    This is my new favourite restaurant!…read more The restaurant used to be the Dollar burger restaurant, and has been revamped as an Italian artisan place with free bread and olive oil, big bottle of tap water and Arcoroc glasses for everything. The specials all sounded fantastic but I plumped for dandelion salad and the pumpkin and goats cheese pizza. Utterly yummy! Not excessive portions just packed with flavour. The waitress was helpful and calm and the red wine warm and fruity. I'll come again for definites. There is a cocktail bar in the basement and a choice of some interesting sharing options on the main menu for groups. Prices are very reasonable and if my meal was anything to go by, the rest will be as good. I am well impressed.

The service was great, our server was very kind and patient to explain everything to us. We even were able to change my friend's order after ordering because I walked inside to look at the specials menu, so we changed her order to Lobster Ravioli (not pictured here). The garlic bread came fast and had the appearance of a personal pizza. It is EXTREMELY fresh garlic forward, like it is going to sit with you for hours, the server will absolutely warn you about this but it is damn good. Our food came after we completed our bread and was very good. The Veal Milanese was tender and crunchy. The penne noodles with marinara sauce was a great side to this dish. Not pictured because it was too good, the lobster ravioli looked creamy and decadent. If you want to know how good, my fried ordered two servings. Overall this was a fabulous meal, this was some of the best Italian food I've had in my life. I will absolutely seek them out on my next trip to London so here's to hoping they are open for many, many years to come!
