Pizza Express in Preston is located on Winckley St, slightly hidden away on a side street in the city centre.
This is a fairly nice branch. The decor is nice with the open kitchen visible as you enter the restaurant, there is also a nice amount of seating and a couple of comfortable booths, which I was seated in on my visit.
I was fairly impressed with my experience, the staff seemed friendly and happy to help, and they were able to make my gluten-free Pollo Pancetta pizza (This pizza was on the winter menu and removed recently, however they are normally still happy to make it as they have the ingredients).
My friend ordered a Romana Florentina pizza with chicken instead of olives, again they were able to accommodate simple requests without a fuss, such as swapping the olives for chicken, and they put the egg on one side of the pizza, so my egg-loving and egg-hating guest were able to share it without a kerfuffle! They commented that they enjoyed the pizza, they found the base light and crispy and much appreciated the Romana upgrade (You can get the upgrade which is usually £1.95 free with Pizza Express' rewards as a Gold member).
To drink, we all ordered a pink lady apple juice, again this is made with the finest quality apples, giving the juice a natural pink colour, I enjoyed the drink but at £3.30 per glass, I would say it is slightly pricey. Again, you may be able to redeem a free soft drink with the Pizza Express rewards app depending on your tier (I did), so it makes it more affordable.
I enjoyed my gluten-free pollo pancetta (£13), I did find the cheese to be clumped together a little, however, and the passata was a little runny, but I did enjoy my meal.
A fairly good Pizza Express store, and one I would return to if I'm ever in Preston again. 4* read more
