I have been going here regularly for years, often with close family and friends. It has always had and continues to have a wonderfully unique atmosphere, which I think surpasses other Pizza Express restaurants; the period building and cozy interior design naturally add to its charm. The service is always warm, welcoming, and attentive; and the food is... well, delicious and as you'd expect, with many vegan and gluten-free options available (and also easy to adapt things)!This is a top-tier Pizza Express.

Such friendly professional staff and great atmosphere in this lovely old building. The food is good too.

Really good pizza, nice staff and had room for us with no reservation.

You would think that all Pizza Expresses are the same - well you would be wrong. This one is outstanding before Covid we came to Bishops stortford Pizza Express once a week, we were treated like VIPs. Now after Covid we don’t go as often but the service is still outstanding. Can’t recommend it enough.

Spent a lovely family evening in this Pizza Express. All 4 pizzas were amazing and the staff couldn’t be more helpful & attentive. The Padana pizza, my favourite, was delicious.
Joanne Mowbray
The service was superb! We all had a super family meal, the day before we had been to the ivy in cambridge i have to say i enjoyed this meal more! Value for money great service and lovely food.

Lovely staff, good service and delicious food. It’s in an old building do not easily accessible. We carried our disabled daughter up the stairs but an older person in a wheelchair wouldn’t be able to get in easily. Still, I’m glad we went because of the service and food. We have to understand that old buildings cannot always be made accessible.

Curtis served us and he was amazing with the kids.Very accommodating and understanding.
If you really do want to frequent a Pizza Express, there are far better venues 20 min away. My advice, avoid the Stortford chain.Sorry to have to leave such a poor review, if you read my other reviews you’ll learn I very rarely leave such low scores, however when choosing a venue to spend a considerable amount of money on a meal for my family and I, Pizza Express should be a venue that one can rely on. Sadly, the Pizza Express in Bishops Stortford did not live up to this expectation.To begin with, we had to ask twice for a kids menu, I believe our waitress may have misheard us the first time.When ordering a jug of water, we were giving a fairly small jug as opposed to larger jugs we have received from other Pizza Expresses.When our starters/appetisers came out, the Olives were left behind.For our mains, for my children and I, no issues. Food was fine and brought to us on time. However, my wife ordered a Vegan Gardiniera - what came to her was a Gardiniera but not vegan, it had prawns on it. By the time her actual pizza came out, the kids and I had practically finished.What makes this worse, the waitress apologised profusely and stated the pizza would not be charged on our bill. Sadly this was not the case and we were charged and paid full price.All this plus we are in a fairly small room squashed in tightly with other guests. I also noticed the tell tale signs of misbehaved children with red wax crayon drawn on the wall.I highly doubt we will eat at this venue again. The Pizza Express in Harlow is far better and actually feels like you are eating in a restaurant. Bishops Stortford did not establish the atmosphere or live up to the service for such a pricey meal out.

Waited for one hour to get our food, had our two young grandchildren with us, absolutely unacceptable, seems like takeaway orders had priority, disappointing. Teresa our waitress was very good and was ran off her feet.

That's the best pizza I've had in a long time. And the service was great as well.

Had a very enjoyable evening with my wife and 12 year old daughter. You know you will always get the best pizza here and, although not budget priced, the quality is reliably good. Curtis was our very attentive waiter and Maya also made sure we were happy even though she was busy as front of house.

Wasn’t a great experience. Waited over 35 minutes for starters and then another 40 minutes for our mains. Some food ordered wasn’t put through. Food was burnt.Overall experience was not great and very disappointing.
