Pizza Express

My wife wanted to eat here to celebrate her birthday as she loved the Canneloni. When we arrived the cannelloni was off the menu! We ordered a kids meal of dough balls
and pizza and ice cream as well as a calabresse pizza and a white sauce penne pasta dish.
Frankly speaking the quality of the food left a lot to be desired. I think Pizza Express are leaving the tried and tested staples of quality pasta and pizza dishes and are trying too hard to «jazz up» their dishes. Had s Tastecard and mentioned this when reserving and ordering, yet bill was still wrong! Paid £30 I guess was prices for what we got.

I do love pizza express and especially the Leggera pizza which makes me feel like I am being semi healthy.
This particular restaurant does not offer anything different than any other restaurant in the chain however I felt the service is great in this one we were greeted on arrival and given our choice of seats as it was quiet when we arrived however it didn’t take long for it to fill up.
I dined with Ciara S who had heard they offered a vegan pizza and the waiter was quick to point out which one this was.
The Pollo Leggera pizzas as beautiful and tasty and I was offered additional Parmesan and garlic oil which added even more flavour to the pizza.
Service was exceptionally quick and even when we had finished our meal we weren’t made to feel like we needed to vacate the table immediately.
A great example of a chain restaurant making it feel like one of a kind.

Pizza Express has impressed me greatly. They are the first pizzeria that I know of, to actually have a vegan pizza listed on their menu in Belfast. I had dinner here last night and tried the vegan pizza which is called a Pianta. Topped with mushrooms, spinach, pine kernels, artichokes and a spicy tomato sauce, it was absolutely delicious. I really didn’t need to add anything to it and just used some garlic olive oil for the crusts. Beautiful food with a great balance of flavours and a crispy thin base second to none.
This Pizza Express restaurant is just the same as others in the chain with bright modern décor. Service from staff was flawless and my glass of Chardonnay as good as I would get anywhere. Prices are reasonable plus there’s a relaxed, family orientated atmosphere. A great and reliable restaurant which really shouldn’t be overlooked due to it being part of a chain. I would highly recommend Pizza Express and they offer lots of gluten free, low calorie (Legerra) and vegetarian options too.

Got to love Pizza Express. As an ex-​pizza artist from Pizza Hut I know what makes a good pizza… and Pizza Express did not fail to disappoint.
The pizza base was perfectly thin, and their toppings were evenly finger spaced apart. Looks-​wise it defeated dominos typically messy and rushed pizzas.
Taste-​wise I went for the American Hottest. This pizza «expressed» great taste with every bite.
The waiter was friendly and had a bit of bant. He earned his £3 tip.
The restaurant was busy for a Wednesday night but food still served on time. I left feeling a bit like Arnold Swarzenegor in Terminator. Saying to myself…“I’LL BE BACK!”

I’ve had nice meals in here a few times. The food was tasty and there are often deals on which can be very good. Hope to return soon!
This location is good for a trip to the nearby cinema afterwards.

30 minute wait for food on a Wednesday night?
Staff were very honest & friendly but still disappointed.
Very full restaurant, maybe needs a bigger kitchen or more chefs?

love the dough balls

I really enjoyed my experience at Pizza Express this week — the service was spot on (in Pizza Express terms, read ‘a little relaxed’), the food was delicious, and I really liked the addition of the restaurant manager’s business card on the table so that patrons could contact him with feedback.
As we’re not local, we also asked for some advice in terms of where to get a quick pint, and the waitress was more than helpful.

Jay Rayner once said that this was one of the few chain restaurants a family could go to and be a assured of a reasonable standard of food. Ok, that wasn’t quite verbatim but that’s what was eluded to.
I headed with my girlfriend a couple of months back, taking advantage of the Times offer, it was either buy one get one free or 50% off, either way… win.
All the restaurants share a similar décor. This one is bare old brick walls, warm lighting, Italian influences strewn across the place. The menu is varied, they have square stone baked pizzas, standard Italian types, oddly polo-​shaped ones without a centre (and filled with salad instead to cut down on calories and white carbs)
I opted for a pizza with cured ham and sweet hot peppers. Superbly crisp and chewy at the same time. Salty ham mixed with a chilli kick and that fructose sweetness from the peppers. All washed down with a bottle of Peroni Gran Reserva (not the most advanced or developed lager I’ve had but an improvement over the usual watery yellow muck)
All in all, cheap, quick service and solid food. This probably isn’t somewhere you want to go for any kind of special occasion, but for a quick bite it’s great.

Pizza Express is a great place for a date or for a bite with friends. The atmosphere is really chilled out and the restaurant is really clean and modern. The menu hosts a wide variety of different pizzas (and I’ve had one with half a salad on top!) so they really cater fr every taste! I love their pasta dishes and their salads are fab! Thy have a great wine menu (yay) and also offer beers and soft drinks. I often call into here before hitting the cinema to fill up before a movie (and still get huge popcorn portions) and the service and food standards really do never slip! Big fan of pizza express!

Pizza Express is a great place for a dinner, though the service was a little slow if I’m to be honest. We went here for our halls night out and the food seemed to take ages (but that could have been reflected on the company…)
One person did happen to drop her entire pizza on the floor whilst trying to cut it and out of embarrassment did not ask for another one. We all shared and she had plenty. It was a grand night. The food is really good, a bit pricey certainly worth it. You can get literally anything on your pizza (that is edible) so if you fancy a pizza night out, and with a few pubs dotted around it, I would definately recommend it.

Really nice family orientated restaurant. Pizzas are pretty tasty and good value for money.

This is a lovely restrant and th food is really tasty. The service however can be a little slow so dont just nip in for a quick pizza as if your to be somewhere you could end up being late.

This is a nice restaurant, with a great menu thats a little different to other pizza places. There’s a nice atmosphere in here, and the staff have always been friendly and the service great. Its a little pricey though compared to other similar places so i wouldn’t go all the time.

This is a great Pizza Express which has always provided fast and friendly service. Of course it tastes just like any other pizza express that you may go to but who’s complaining. I always go for La Reine with extra artichoke hearts. Great central location.

Wonderful restaurant lovely atmosphere and fantastic menu. Staff are always friendly and service is very good. Well worth a visit!
