We come here regularly

We come here regularly (Balham & Wandsworth Trinity Road), at least twice a month after hockey! It’s such a great spot to go with children — especially with kids menu. Great prices for drinks (cheaper than most pubs!) and the app (highly recommend for offers and freebies) makes everything so easy to order and pay. Always a lovely experience

Family meal

Had a lovely experience at the pizza express in Southend-on-Sea. Food was good value for money, friendly and helpful staff, and lovely astomphere.

Cold food. Soggy chips

Cold, mediocre pizza. Polenta chips were a cold, soggy pulp. Clueless delivery driver from Deliveroo...a text & two phone calls. Disappointed that the dessert was substituted for brownies. I don't like them. Never again 😒

Ordered pizza from Jesmond

Ordered pizza from Jesmond. They kept changing the delivery time 45 mins, the 20, then 55, then 11, then 42. Needless to say we never got our pizza. Just a message to say it wasn't going ro be possible would have given us time to order somewhere else. Rubbish service.

Abysmal delivery service via Just Eat

Having ordered pizzas 3 times over the last couple of months from the Fleet branch (via Just Eat), we have experienced late deliveries on all 3 occasions, the most recent being 2 hours late, at which point I cancelled the order. On speaking to the manager for the second time, I was told it was a problem in getting delivery drivers. I drew her attention to the many complaints on Google AI regarding this issue and suggested she refer the matter higher up the chain for some urgently needed remedial action. Needless to say, will not be ordering from them again.

Terrible customer service and overpriced!

We were given a dirty table on arrival. The food my girlfriend ordered was not delivered as per what was mentioned in the menu. She ordered chicken Caesar salad but it came with NO CHICKEN AND NO CHEESE !

I ordered a garlic prawn pizza and was told I could swap the garlic dip sauce with bbq sauce but on the bill I was charged for the sauce which left me confused.

The waitress was combative and rude! I said to her we were told we didn’t have to pay for the sauce and she insisted that we pay the .75p!

The customer service was DIABOLICAL! I have never experienced such disrespect!

Don't waste your money

ordered online for delivery. £31.13 for a pizza and doughballs. I could have eaten in the restaurant for the same money. 45 minute wait for food then another 10 minutes as rider had been given the postcode but not the flat number so I had to put some shoes on and walk round the crescent looking for him. Food was absolutely stone cold. I'm 15 minutes from the restaurant and the guy was on a motorbike so the food could not have been hot when it was sent out. Garlic butter was seriously out of date and although I hadn't ordered a gluten free base on the pizza that's what I got. It was disgusting. This was only my 2nd order, the first time I had a very long wait to receive cold food. I decided to give them another chance, needn't have bothered. Complete waste of money.

Do not eat if you are coeliac

Pizza express is meant to be coeliac accredited, I have coeliac disease ordered a takeaway, I became very ill due to a serve coeliac reaction from the food, it was labelled gluten free yet I became very unwell, they didn’t seem to care and said I should double check next time and offered me a voucher, if you have coeliac disease do not eat at pizza express as its not safe

Terrible customer service!

I placed a takeaway order online with PizzaExpress. When I arrived, the item I paid for wasn’t available. I was told I wouldn’t be charged for the alternative and that customer services would arrange a refund so I accepted it on that basis. What followed was over two weeks of chasing, during which I was repeatedly told I’d “willingly accepted” the substitute and wasn’t entitled to a refund. That’s simply not true.

Customer service misrepresented the facts, dismissed my concerns, and made the process unnecessarily difficult. I was effectively duped into accepting an alternative under false assurances, then treated as if I were at fault. Eventually, I got the refund but only after being made to feel like I was lying.

This experience showed a complete lack of integrity and accountability. I won’t be ordering again.

Slow service & overcharged & had to pay twice as refused to refund just the difference

We visited the Xscape Castleford Pizza express on 27/08.
We booked a table for 1pm, restaurant wasn't especially busy. Starter came quickly but we then didn't get our main pizzas until 2.50.
The bill came & after paying we realised we had been overcharged by £15! We had ordered the £50 deal but everything ha been charged for and the deal hadn't been added. Spoke with who I think was the manager who said they'd refund the original bill of £87.30 but we would then have to pay the correct bill of £72.95. I asked if we could just be refunded the difference but was told this wasn't possible & they couldn't do this so today I have had to pay £150 for a meal that should have only been £72 and now have to wait 3-5 days for the money to go back into my account. Yes we should have checked the bill more thoroughly before paying but I have never known a business to operate this way & expect the customer to pay twice for what is an employees mistake. What would we have done if we hadn't had the extra money to pay the other £72?

Really disappointed with today's visit overall, was supposed to be a treat for our daughter on the way to see a show but left us feeling disappointed.

3 hours for a pizza delivery via Just…

3 hours for a pizza delivery via Just Eat. But rang Lincoln Manager and said don't send it. He allowed it to be sent anyway. Was ordered 18:20. We walked the dogs and fetched fish and chips. Washed the pots, Watched the TV and doorbell goes at 21:20. A gormless experience not to be repeated. Pizza express blaming Just eat, just eat blaming pizza express. Sort your BS out. Goodbye....

Pizza Express Gift Cards

Pizza Express Gift Cards! Totally rubbish.I made a mistake of buying 4 £20 cards and then later found out that they can't be used for click and collect or Pizza Express delivery and can only be used in the restaurant.Due to personal reasons I just could not go to the restaurant and by the time I could go they had expired.Useless and a rip off.Should be sold with a warning about limited usage

Chewy, Doughy and undercooked Pizzas, You had one job …

We ordered via Just eat from the Pizza Express in Hull, the app was easy to use and the company kept us informed when the delivery would be. The rider delivered the pizza within the hour which we were happy with.

The pizzas themselves of which we paid nearly £40 for three were very disappointing. The base was chewy and undercooked, barely palatable and quite hard to eat. The pizzas were also not cut correctly and difficult to tear into pieces which made a mess when coming to share.

Com’on guys your meant to be a pizza specialist … at least get the basics right if you gonna charge what you do. We even tipped the rider as it’s not his fault you can’t cook, take a little pride and test the food before you package it.

Manager didn't know his own offers

Manager argued that my voucher code was invalid in front of other guests. He didn't know his own promotion had been extended.
After I even proved on my phone he still argued that I needed a voucher from a shop bought pizza. I showed him his term and conditions he still said well it wont accept it when you go to pay on the app. Low and behold it did !!! Buy one get one free pizza. So whilst I did get the pizza the whole experience was ridiculous and embarrassing.
