About PizzaExpress

Birthday meals and celebrations are a recurring occasion here, including a kids' birthday party where the children made their own pizzas, which gives young guests a hands-on part in the meal.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the staff, describing waiters who seated groups quickly, handled a young type 1 diabetic's needs with clear communication, and helped when it got busy. One diner says the team charged a dying phone so the bill could be paid. Birthdays come up repeatedly: a children's party where kids made their own pizzas and kneaded dough before eating them with ice cream, and a birthday meal where staff plated a brought-in cake and lit the candle. Pizza is described as perfectly cooked, and one reviewer calls the food brilliant, though another says it was only fine. The sharpest complaints split two ways. One diner praised the food but says staff ignored a partner's birthday that had been mentioned at booking, while a neighbouring table's was celebrated, and felt judged and treated differently for dining with a baby. A regular delivery customer calls their latest pizza the worst yet, with almost no flavour, a very thin base, and no slicing. One reviewer adds that the venue held a group of around 100 people, and the meal ended with a lit birthday candle brought to the table.

    “Food was brilliant and Dorian was a lovely, waitress. My sister is a young type 1 diabetic and she handled her needs very well with great communication! This was the best service i’ve ever had and will definitely be coming again!”
  • Isaac Mallett
    “The food here was genuinely excellent and the chef deserves full credit for that. Unfortunately, the service and overall experience fell far below expectations. When making our booking, we were asked if we were celebrating a special occasion, and I explained that it was my partner’s birthday. Despite this, there was absolutely no acknowledgement from the staff. What made it worse was seeing another table next to us have their birthday recognised and celebrated, which left us wondering why we had been overlooked. We were also dining with our baby and, throughout the evening, felt as though we were treated differently from other guests. We received very little attention, were not offered the same discounts or level of service as others around us, and generally felt judged rather than welcomed. As parents, we understand that dining out with a baby can require a little more patience and understanding, but instead we felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. Whether intentional or not, the difference in treatment was noticeable and disappointing. The food was the only redeeming part of the evening. If you have young children or are planning to celebrate a special occasion, I would seriously reconsider booking here, as our experience suggested that not all customers are treated equally. Sadly, despite the quality of the food, we will not be returning.”

    “Took advantage of the warm weather and sat outside. Had a great pizza, perfectly cooked. Service was absolutely top notch. It was my daughter's birthday meal and both staff members went out of their way. We'd taken a cake and candle in, and they were so lovely in putting it on a plate, adding the candle and lighting it to then bring it over. Really enjoyed the meal.”
