Pizza Express

We were on a mission with errands to run everywhere. My wife offered to treat us to lunch and so stumbled across Pizza Express. They had a previous good experience at the Ashford Outlet branch so didn't see any issues here. We were seated upstairs right next to a very loud child's birthday in a very small space. It was loud! There were seats downstairs and we could have sat there. However was placed next to this noise. After my wife went and asked for other seating, we were indeed given a seat downstairs. My wife ordered a chicken pasta dish while I ordered a pizza. My wife's dish was a large slab of breaded chicken and some salad, no pasta in sight! My pizza was a the BBQ brisket, it didn't look like much, in fact I would go as far as to say it was just a brown mess on a base. I quickly found the whole flavour of this was BBQ sauce, as it was smothered in it. I like a BBQ pizza but not a pizza base with BBQ sauce and sprinkling of meat. Would stay away from that one on the menu! The service from our waitress was outstanding. She took the time to interact with the children, which was nice. One point is to maybe consider asking your customers how everything was. Not sure I will want to return here.

I arrived at the wonderful restaurant, known to the people as pizza express, with a spring in my step and a smile on my face. It was fair to say that this was not my first rodeo at the hallowed grounds of the Italy-inspired pantheon, having been there multiple times in the previous months. I ordered a large pizza and sat, licking my lips in anticipation of the culinary adventure I was about to embark on. However, 45 minutes later my pizza had not arrived, and I was beginning to grow impatient. Smoke began to pour from my ears as my anger grew, and I felt myself slipping into the void of pure rage. Then, the moment came. My pizza arrived, along with my Kombucha and Doughballs, and I was instantly placated. Although on the expensive side, it was a very pleasurable experience, and I will be back again soon.

We've just been for lunch with our 5 month old daughter. Our server Matthew was phenomenal. He was so helpful, suggesting things on the menu to help us with our choices and having lovely chats about the baby. We don't go out for meals since having Dotty and this felt really special. Thank you for being great Matt! Mel, Will and baby Dorothy xo

Great visit! We was seated next to the window and had the gorgeous views of the river and passing boats. Food & drink orders were taking promptly by Sam who knew the menu well and offered his recommendations. He was professional, friendly and accomodating. Food was served hot and it was delicious. We will be coming back!
