I am a simple man, planned pizza dinner, should be filling. The lack of 'pizza' is concerning for the price for which I added 2 toppings to then get those also sprinkled on. Asked for extra ham and realised they use is the cheap stuff that I feed the dog when hes been a good boy. The garlic butter ratio for dough balls was so off, 75% butter 25% garlic. On a Saturday night, they didnt have the ingredients at 7:00pm for thier Calzones... Dessert was cut small with the partners brownie that was also missing the ice cream on top... Pros: - The light atmosphere - The nice music with a perfect volume - The staff - General service - Fresh dough and flavour - Glass size Cons: - Lack of toppings/ingredients - Price per food - Price for toppings - Price for desserts - Missing utensils

Everytime we come to Cheshire Oaks we always come here and was unfortunately disappointed with our latest visit. We were seated near the door which did have a cold draught. When we had come last month they had no ice for the drinks as the machine was broken, and it still is! Speaking to staff they told us that no one is coming out to fix it till Christmas, which is not ideal. We both had pizzas which came quickly and were lovely, but I was disappointed with dessert. Ordered the chocolate brownie which states it comes warm, however arrived cold. It was sent back and reheated but again arrived cold. No check back to see if it was ok. Disappointing when you are spending £40+ on lunch.

Lovely place. Rather busy but didn’t have to wait long at all to order or receive food/ drink. Only two of us so we were sat near the door and it’s was freezing. Every time someone opened the door it wasn’t very nice. Waiting staff were very polite and friendly. It was very nice to see the manager on the floor. I work. In. F&B and it’s rare. Little pricey but for the quality of the food/ service we can’t complain. We weren’t asked about allergies, I didn’t mention it though as I knew my order was fine. Would visit again.

We’ve tried a number of the restaurants at Cheshire Oaks but hadn’t tried this one until today. We’ve learnt that they all get busy from just after 12 so turned up at 1150 and it was virtually empty. Menu is what you would expect with essentially 2 different pizzas bases - more traditional and a thin version - we went for the later. As usual in this type of place they make a big profit out of drinks - £3.85 for 330ml of coke! Pizzas were served in around 10 mins which was good and had a really good level of toppings on them. The thin pizza crust was great as you don’t feel you are being filled up with just the base so really enjoyed the flavours of the toppings - we had the spicy giuseppe and the burnt ends BBQ - both were great. Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. Not the cheapest of lunches but we enjoyed the food

Average small pizza that was just similar to something from a supermarket but cost over £15 and over £5 for a 330ml bottle of beer, was still hungry afterwards. How on Earth they get away with charging these prices is beyond me. Won’t be going back.

The food was very good and the service was attentive. However, the waitress made a mistake with our order and only keyed one of the main courses, there was a short delay before this was rectified to our satisfaction. We ordered a glass of wine to accompany our meal which was very pleasant. Unfortunately the second glass was warm - this was replaced without question by the duty manager. All in a pleasant lunch - would visit again on our next shopping trip.

Classic pizza is best.\\nI ordered for the first time the larger Romana pizza and it was a mistake.\\nThe thin crust was beyond thin and like a dry wafer with no dough texture at all and the topping was poor.\\nI ordered the fungi di Bosco because I love mushrooms and garlic and tomato and cheese but the topping was sparse and the overwhelming taste was basil which wasn’t even listed on the ingredients and I hate pesto.\\nI got a mixed side salad, very basic but delicious because it was very fresh.\\nThe pizza though was rubbish and I’ll stick to classic base next time, much tastier and more filling.\\nThe place gets busy when the shopping outlets are busy so booking is recommended.\\nDefinitely recommend downloading the app and also looking for some voucher code or deal. Otherwise I feel prices are too high.\\nThe serving staff are very friendly and overall the venue is solo friendly.

Lovely meal as always, pizzas cooked to perfection ?

Better to book a table for desired time as this popular eatery gets busy. Friendly staff, quick service. Food good, variety of drinks to accompany your food. Clean eating area, can't comment on toilets as never used them on my visits.

Booked a table for 5 and when ordering drinks glasses were not clean and when asked for a large blackcurrant cordial it is served warm. Glasses not cooled down and no ice. When asked for a fresh 1 was told we have no ice so i had to suggest that run the cold tap for a bit. The mains were served incorrect and 1 had to be completely remade meaning not eating as a family and when the parmesan topping was requested twice it still didn't arrive. Asked for deserts and being honest it was as though they didn't want us to have then, tried to get us to pay bill instead of taking order for them. Asked for 2 hot fudge cake with ice cream and it was served cold. When paying the bill waitress asked how i was paying and am i leaving a tip using the card machine. I usually tip everywhere in cash as so often the tips dont always get passed on but when the waitress rolled her eyes when i hit no on the machine there was no way i was going to leave a tip for below average food and service.
We visited the stunning Pizza Expesso in Cheshire oaks after a hard day's graft whilst walking on the longest walk in the history of human existence, there we were greeted by awesome staff, who offered us, not just nutritious pizza, but hope that there is still something worth fighting for in this wretched world-5 stars

Visited on a busy Saturday afternoon with my wife and young son. Despite the restaurant being almost full, we were seated straight away which was great. The floor manager and our waitress were absolutely fantastic for the entire lunch; for customer service I’d give 5 stars Unfortunately, the food was probably the worst I’ve ever had at a pizza express- and we go all the time to all different venues in the country as my son loves it. The dough balls were hard as stones, my calamari was overdone with thin sauce, and my prawn pizza was absolutely awful- tasteless, minimal cheese and well over done. I’d score the food 1/5. Not sure if it was just that the chefs were overwhelmed with the orders, but looking at other reviews I’m not sure.
