    After a couple of really poor visits to the Slough branch when I was there for meetings I've been put of Pizza Expresss. The service was terrible and the food was burnt. Also the pasta's look unappetising and seem to be just heated up and are served in horrid black plastic like you'd have if you oven cooked something at home! The place wasn't busy and was just poorly managed and run.

    Went to the one in Trafford Centre a few weeks back and the place was packed, the service excellent and the food perfectly cooked. Staff really nice..

    I really recommend the Etna pizza (it's spicy!!) and the Apple pie & icecream and I wish they'd bring back the Tortufo choc icecream pudding they used to have!!

    I do like Pizza Express but find the service in Zizzi's, Ask, Strada, etc seems to be so much better - we enjoy our meal out more, there is a better atmosphere and don't have to wait for ages for a bill..

    I would like to second both of Summer's comments. My favourite Pizza Express pizza was, historically American Hot (with extra mushrooms) HOWEVER, this has now been replaced by the ETNA on the new romana base - mmmmmmmmmmm - delish!!! Its even spicier if you add chilli oil and pepper!

    Secondly, again, completely agree with comments RE Strada & Ask (havent tried Zizzi's yet) - the service and ambience at Strada/Ask is much more of a "night out" (or lunch out etc) whereas I liken Pizza Express to one up from fast food..... No complaints at all - its just not a fancy celebratory restauranty place (although I have celebrated a few occasions there - but Im not that fussy!!). The one we tend to frequent on Street Lane in Roundhay, Leeds, West Yorkshire is usually full of young children/babies (nothing against them at all) but you dont get the same amount in Strada!

    Still a great place to go though and I wouldnt pass up a meal from there!

    The Padana is my fave Pizza Express pizza (Rich goat's cheese, spinach and red onion with tangy caramelised onion confit and a drizzle of garlic oil). It's lush!

    I go to the Ramsgate branch with lovely tables overlooking the harbour - only go when there's a 241 offer though. The service has been wonderful and it's very child-friendly.

    Hi folks

    Just went to the Farnham branch with a 2 - 4 - 1 voucher. First time using a voucher for a meal anywhere - waitress ok with it! Nice meal and good service, had this lovely Fredo thing for dessert - an icecream with nougat and nuts and a tiny expresso.

    Not been here since last autumn, but despite the credit crunch was packed early evening.

    Ciao

    I've always had a good service in Pizza Express. I've eaten at Strand,London also in Bluewater,Slough,Windsor,Brighton,Ashford,Maidstone,Tunbridge Wells and Canterbury. I've had takeaway from Kingston Upon Thames and my partner had takeaway from 1 quite close to Victoria,London. Always very good,most of the time I've been in one,I've had my children with me and always been child friendly.
    We always order the children the childrens menu,and my daughter as my son's dessert as he's not keen on icecream so she has 2 desserts. So in that respect we like a bit of different choice for dessert for children other than icecream.
    My eldest is nearly 9 and he does find the childrens menu a bit on small side so I always order an extra starter as well as our starters as he really likes the dough balls. We always order dough balls and garlic bread,my partner orders a side salad,he really likes their house dressing. You can buy that in the supermarkets,their other range in supermarkets is not too good,specially when been spoilt by eating in there!
    We always order margherita ( can't spell ) pizza with red pepper added. I've tried most of the desserts but personally prefer the toffee fudge sundae.
    Will be eating next in the 1 in Greenwich at o2 when I take my son to see Star Wars Musical,got my Clubcard voucher £5 turned into £20 deals,come in post other day :) Probably have a couple quid to put to it maybe,plus you can't exchange vouchers for drinks eithers.
    We vegetarian and find their choices very good for us veggies,their pizza bases are Vegan too ( check site to doublecheck any changes ) so they cater fairly well actually I think.
