Been sitting on this one for a week or two hoping the qualifying question would be amended because it looks a bit ambiguous...

Q. What was the name of PizzaExpress’s first restaurant?

Wardour St.
Wardour Sreet

Firstly I'd have thought that PizzaExpress's first restaurant would have been called PizzaExpress, or is that too obvious?

If however the question is wrong and should be "where was the first PizzaExpress restaurant located?" then the answer is indeed Wardour Street and so I can't discount the possibility that the second answer isn't simply a typo and could possibly be the one they want. smiley_emoticons_confusednew.gif

All very confusing.

Anyways, you pays your money and you takes your choice and good luck to all.

    Founded in 1965 by Peter Boizot, PizzaExpress' first restaurant opened its doors in London’s Wardour Street. Inspired by a trip to Italy, Mr Boizot brought back to London a pizza oven from Naples and a chef from Sicily.[3] In 1969 jazz performances began at its Dean Street restaurant, London.[4] PizzaExpress was the first to bring pizza to the UK high street in 1965[3] and was the first to sell Peroni beer in the UK.[5]


    Are we any the wiser as to what we should tick as the answer?!
