Pizza Express

I would normally eschew as chain but I love Pizza Express. I think their name doesn't even do them justice. Their vegan menu is excellent and the new vegan calzone is actually exceptional. The staff are always lovely and it's a nice place to sit too. I think it's always a safe bet and even better option if you've got kids as they are kept entertained with the colouring in, and I like the fact they do kids sized pizzas too 👌

As pizza places go, this was above average. Good portion sizes and very tasty and prices much in line with other city centre venues. I scored 4 stars instead of 5 due to the staff. On a quiet day where there was only a scattering of other tables in the restaurant at the time, I would have expected the service to be more attentive. Staff seemed more concerned about huddling around the till point than ensuring their diners had everything they needed, wanted more drinks, wanted anything more at the end of the meal or wanted the bill instead. On a whole it was a pleasant experience and the slight negative wouldn't stop me from going back.
