Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the service, with one server repeatedly praised as friendly, attentive and helpful, and the manager and other staff described as lovely and welcoming. On the food, diners name the dough balls as fresh and warm, alongside garlic bread, a Four Seasons and an American Hot, with one praising a perfectly crisp crust and another a soft, chewy base with just the right saltiness. Several visit before an arena show or a Disney on Ice trip and say food came out quickly, leaving plenty of time, while one family with kids says they loved it despite the place being busy. The atmosphere is called happy, bright, clean and well maintained. No reviewer raises a real complaint, though one diner could not add an e-gift voucher to the app and was allowed to pay in the restaurant instead. One older couple visiting for a grandson's graduation had leftover pizza carefully wrapped and ate it on the train home the next day.

“Our server was Charlotte and she was absolutely lovely!! She made us feel so comfortable & welcomed and she was extremely attentive.We will definitely be visiting again.”
- Beryl English
“Both Charlotte and Colbie went above and beyond to make our visit absolutely perfect. We're 78 and 80 and were in Leeds from London, for our Grandson's graduation. Both were extremely helpful, friendly, smart and happy. Charlotte was kind enough to carefully wrap the remaining pizza for us to take out. Which we enjoyed on our train home, the following day. The atmosphere in the restaurant was happy, bright and well maintained. Thank you also to the chef, Mr English for our delicious pizzas. Would definitely recommend and return if in the area again.”

“The restaurant staff were very welcoming, friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. It was very clean and the atmosphere was great. The lady who served us ( sorry I didn’t catch her name) was amazing she told us all about the app and any offers that were available to us. She advised we could download the app and pay on there if we wanted to, I had an e gift voucher to use and it wouldn’t let me add it on the app so she was happy for us to pay in the restaurant.”

“Had a fantastic meal at Pizza Express Leeds Arena! The dough balls were fresh and warm, and my pizza was cooked to perfection with a perfectly crisp crust. A special shoutout to Charlotte, who was extremely helpful, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. Great atmosphere for a casual dinner—we will definitely be back soon!”
