Good location and you can't go wrong with Pizza Express. I only have 4 stars because it is "only" a Pizza Express, i.e. nothing special or different. This is possibly a bit harsh however

Fast and expensiveThe food is cold, very little toppings but it's good.I don't necessarily recommend.

Its a great venue, the manager is very personable and will go the extra mile to make sure customers feel welcome. The staff are very friendly and the location is quite scenic and peaceful now that the road outside has been pedestrianised. The lighting is nice and the restaurant is clean.

The service was fantastic. Could.nit have asked for better. There was a slight wait to be seated but to be expected. The food was average tho. But with the price paid really not the quality expected. We had a macaroni cheese which on its own would be 1 star. Tasteless. Pizza, a kids meal. And desert. Luckily I used 40 pounds in tesco voucher as the outstanding bill was still 41 pounds. I know pizza is expensive but for a lunch time meal. Two adults and child over 90 quid is quite expensive especially given the quality of the food. I don't think I would plan to go to again. For 90 pounds I would expect much better qualityParking: No parkingKid-friendliness: Great with the little one

You always know what you're going to get with pizza express. The pizzas were tasty and the dough balls were delicious. Great location and nice big, spaced out restaurant. I've taken a star off because the service was very slow, even though there weren't that busy. Our dough balls were also Luke warm by the time they arrived.

Pizza without gluten, milk and derivatives and tomato.The kindness of the waitress made the meal even more pleasant. Thanks Jenny Lee

This was Pizza Express as expected in terms of standardised food and quick service. Only reason for lower marks is that it felt understaffed and we had to go and speak to our waitress a couple of times to place orders or make requests. Kudos to her though as she did a fab job getting everything ordered and to our table quickly. Re the atmosphere - it is a mammoth space downstairs here and it wasn't full which made it feel less exciting. I highly recommend booking here as if you just drop by you may well be disappointed due to its situation and 'Pizza Express' popularity.Kid-friendliness: As always this is a good dining experience for kids

Ordered Pollo Pesto this evening. I received a dish that was lukewarm at best and the onions were raw.This used to be a dish that was served piping hot to te table. Considering the increased cost I don't expect this. I didn't eat half the meal.Whilst the waiter offered a replacement I didn't have time for this. I said that she shouldn't have needed to offer a replacement when it should just be cooked properly in the first place.When I left I was given rolling eyes by the door staff, for what seems like a reaction for me simply making a complaint.

Attended for a school trip with my son, they made their own pizzas. The chef was amazing (Roberto) so knowledgeable and passionate about Pizza express! Our Host Chris was wonderful with the children had us all laughing and was very warming! Thank you to the whole team for a great day and experience!
Always a pleasure to eat in Pizza Express. Been eating the same pizza since the 90s ?

Pizzas sub standard for Pizza Express, looked like they had been thrown together by a toddler, toppings unevenly spread and severely lacking in cheese and pepperoni. The pepperoni was small and tasteless to the norm from Pizza Express. To top it all they were barely cooked, had to send them back to the kitchen for them to cook. Will not use this branch again, worst one I have ever visited.Cue the response form the manager how they always aim to give 10/10, well words are easy to write, the proof is in the number of low reviews you have!

We always get great service and excellent food at the Strand Pizza Express.

Waited a long time for pizza to arrive, and when it did it was cold. Couldn't hang around as on a time limit. No colouring pen for the kids either, despite asking twice. Disappointing, should do
