This is a small branch of Pizza Express, opposite Kensington Police station, and sort of half-way between Earl’s Court and Kensington (closer to the latter, if anything) - there aren’t any shops of note or any other restaurants on this section of Earl’s Court Road, so it’s not an area anyone is likely to travel too.

The pizzas - for which the chain is known - are good, and there are some lovely new recipies (one with goat’s cheese and spinach especially) but the choice of pasta dishes and salads is a bit limited. Although there is a decent choice of wine, at nearly £12 a bottle the cheapest house wine is a little pricey for a chain, in my view. The restaurant interior is a little spartan too, although service is swift and pleasant enough.

So I suppose it’s OK for a quick bite if you are in the area, but there’s a large ASK less than five minutes’ walk away on Kensington High Street, if want something with a slightly more sophisticated feel, and a few family-run Italian places if you want a wider menu.

I used to be a fan of Pizza Express - but in fairness that was probably over 10 years ago. Now I am a bit bored. Although the concept was brilliant (good quality pizza, in a nice modern environment, at good prices) the company has not really evolved.
And although the pizzas are still good, there is now a lot more competition out there.
It would be nice if they thought of something to rejuvenate the experience...
