PizzaExpress

A lovely looking PizzaExpress with two floors and outside seating as well. This branch is probably one of the better ones, and always busy!

I was here last night with a group of 10, service was prompt and friendly at the start, though we did have to wait some time between starter and main which was unusual.

We shared a lot of dough balls between us. The dough balls were about half the size they usually are, but still tasty with dripping garlic butter. And the pizzas were very good as well, though almost all were presented on the black chopping boards usually reserved for the rectangular Calabrese, which did make for a bit of difficult eating with the pizzas half hanging off the board. However, the pizzas were topped generously and tasted fantastic.

Despite the gap in the middle of the meal, I'm always very happy with this PizzaExpress and have been here numerous times, and they're always happy to have large groups descend on them with very little notice!

You know what you are going to get when you go to Pizza Express - good value pizza (thin and crispy) washed down with either a glass of wine or a Peroni beer (they do huge bottles).

They have extended the menu recently (I like the risotto balls).

Came here last a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday lunchtime, we were the only people here when we arrived.

It’s a big restaurant with high ceilings, the staff were very friendly and attentive and even made us “bloody mary’s” at our request even though they didn’t have them on the menu.

I really think this is one of the “chains” that all visitors to London should know about - as there are many other chains that are only visited by tourists and should not be!

great chain - the usual food and nice atmosphere! really nice to sit outside in summer, downstairs is a bit cold in winter
