About PizzaExpress
PizzaExpress is a pizza restaurant at 81 High St in Tunbridge Wells, and its chefs, in striped t-shirts, toss the handmade pizzas. A braille menu lets guests who read braille browse the dishes on their own. The menu runs from the Veneziana pizza to a Meats sharing plate starter, and the mascarpone & fig dessert rounds out a meal. Seating is available upstairs. The restaurant has also seated parties of 8 to 11 for birthday celebrations, which makes it a workable option for groups.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are sharper. One reviewer describes a collection order handed over as someone else's, a rude reply at the counter, being ignored, and pizzas that finally arrived cold. Another says a host snapped at him over having no table and shouted "next time book" after him in the street. A third reports melted ice cream at dessert and mains set down before starter plates were cleared.

“We really enjoyed our experience; our waitress, Vanessa, really made our evening!! Amazing service with the perfect mix of friendly banter and politeness. The food was lovely. Our group had a few dietary requirements and Vanessa made sure everything was taken care of with no complaints. Will definitely be back soon!!”

“We had a faultless experience this evening for my son's 11th birthday celebrations. There were 11 of us & Vanessa couldn't have done more to make our experience 5 star. She was funny, attentive, helpful & an all round pretty brilliant waitress. She's a credit to your branch!! The food was delicious & it all came out really quickly. Nothing but impressed! Thank you 😊”

“11 of us went for an early dinner tonight at Pizza Express T.Wells. We were celebrating our nephews birthday and Vanessa couldn't have been a better waitress! She looked after us all so well and went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed at all times. The food was fantastic as always and the service just topped off a lovely evening. Thank you 😊”

“This has to be one of the rudest experiences I have had at a restaurant, I was walking down the high street hungry and popped in to see if they had a table on the off chance. Yes it was Saturday night so I assumed that they would be busy, but there are plenty of other restaurants around. The host was immediately agitated spent about 5 minutes looking and said that they had no space. I smiled said no problem and walked out. He then followed me out and shouted in the street next time book in the rudest possible way. I can guarantee that I will not be booking at this chain restaurant.”
