I came into this particular Pizza Express looking for part-time work - but figured I’d try the food and service first and I’m glad I did.The Fiorentina pizza was remarkable as usual - a great classic!HOWEVER. The service was particularly concerning. The waiter initially was rather pleasant - but I had to walk up to the desk to give my order as he seemed to be having a little snooze behind the bar; rather dangerously he didn’t ask about allergies (I have a few lethal ones… and having worked FOH before I’m pretty sure you always ask!); and finally, the chefs really seemed to dislike him since they kept shouting “service” and he wouldn’t come…The sauce that came with the polenta chips was also something that had more in common with drain cleaner than the tomato/basil it was supposedly made of! Extremely bitter, almost an emetic, looked and tasted like liquefied moss. Not to mention how the chips seemed to be microwaved (and weren’t cooked at all - really mushy!).Probably not going to apply for work here… unless they seriously improve the quality and care put into their restaurant service!

Had a meal with my sister during my visit to Durham centre and we had the pleasure of having Phoebe as our assistant. She was cheerful and chatty and really made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. Great work Pizza Express for finding brilliant staff. It makes for a more special experience, will definitely recommend to others??

The pizza was lovely, although I found the base to be very thin, but the size of the pizza kept it filling. It cost around £15-17 for one pizza which was far too overpriced. In total for two pizzas, with VAT, and a tip, and £12.80 off through the app, it still cost us £31.81. Much too expensive, nice for a treat but won’t be going back anytime soon.

Allow me to tell you the legend of Phoebe: the greatest waitress I'e ever met...On that chilly September evening, my wife and I stumbled upon Pizza Express in Durham City CentreShe welcomes us with a smile that burned brighter than a thousand sunsShe showed us to our seats and bedazzled us with her encyclopedic knowledge of pizza and pasta dishesShe already knew our order, her warm eyes gazed into my soul and she read me like a bookShe brought the pizzas to our table with the elegance of an Olympic skater, leaving us speechlessAnd the food was incredible, my wife's pizza was so good it saved our marriageAs the restaurant filled up, any normal person might have succumbed to anxiety, but not our PhoebeShe handled the chaos with bullet-proof confidenceWhen she handed me the bill, I felt compelled to ask how we could repay her for her god-tier skillsHer request? A humble reviewWell, here it is, PhoebeAnd to the powers that be at Pizza Express, I implore you to promote this pizza prophet and give her a salary that matches her superhuman talentsWe are unworthy of Phoebe's greatness!

I would just like to say what a pleasure it is to visit Pizza Express in Durham City. The service is always brilliant with very friendly, helpful staff. The food is the best I have had in any Pizza Express, especially the Calimari.Special shout out to Andrew who served us the past few times.
Asked for a Table for two, was told the table nearest the door was the only they had so we accepted it. Two minutes later another couple came in and were directed To a really lovely placed table, same thing happened a few minutes later, yet nobody had left in that time. The waiter walked past several times us and simply ignored us. I asked if we could order too which he barked ‘two minutes! Two minutes! He then came to the table NEXT to us and took their order. Rubbish service-average food if it’s the same as other pizza express resistant-and disgusting behaviour. NEVER AGAIN-AVOID

Food came quickly, and was very nice. Decently priced for the food that came. Dough balls are a must!
