We came here pretty late last night, as the other one the other side of town was completely rammed…read moreand people were queuing outside to get in, and it was frankly too cold for that, and I had new shoes on and couldn't stay stood up for that long.
So, it was about 9ish I think when we got here, and despite it being busy, we got a table straight away. The service was slower than I'd usually have liked, but it was actually refreshing that it was a bit more laid back. We weren't in any rush, so it resulted in a nice, relaxing evening. What I was really impressed with was that when I asked for the bill, the waiter asked me whether I had any vouchers to use, which was awesome as it took away that whole embarrassing 'hello, yes, I'm a bit tight, please can I use this voucher, don't tell anyone I'm poor' moment that I absolutely loathe. Well done Pizza Express waiter dude.
The marinated olives were delish, and the mains were equally as tasty. I had the Bosco salad (all ingredients I adore - avocado, mozzarella, garlic mushrooms, rocket and that), and Hot Steve had an American pizza. I was very good and had a machiatto instead of a pudding, although Steve had one of those toffee fudge concoctions and the waitress very cleverly brought two spoons touches like that make a difference, and that's why I'll come back again. I don't know why it's been so long since I've been to Pizza Express, but I think it'll be something I do regularly now.
PS Two Peroni, a bottle of San Pellegrino, and all the above came to £25.00 on the nose with one of those 2-4-1 mains vouchers. Cheaper than Steak n Chicken Tuesdays end up at the Arc : )
