Clean, warm and comfortable. Food was hot and speedy. Alin, the Italian gentleman was a fantastic waiter and knowledgable about the menu with great recomendation. The other staff were also very polite and upbeat which is nice to see. Will happily go back. Never having dominoes again ???

Standard pizza menu is good, offering tasty (but rather pricey!) variations on a theme. They offer a GF option for the same price, which I opted for, but this turned out to be a rather small and mean affair. What was worse, the pizza base was extremely doughy, soggy and tasteless. I honestly have done better with Shar bases and my own sauce.at home.What was encouraging was their response to my complaints. I immediately got a second GF pizza, cooked a little longer to crisp it up. Good intentions from the staff, for sure, but they couldn't make the substandard, bought-in, base much better, no matter how much they tried. Pizza Express need to source much better GF bases. While their customer service was good, I really expected a better GF product from them.

The staff seems a little stuck up. They showed us to our table. We were waiting for a little while. But the lovely lady who served us was amazing, she was very attentive and extremely helpful. The food was well presented but not a lot.

Ordered a takeaway from here, it was delayed 2 hours and then they decided to cancel the takeaway. It was going through uber eats but ordered via the Pizza Express app, neither uber nor pizza express would refund, my family member decided to go out and collect it herself in the dark because she didn’t want to waste the food, they wouldn’t deliver it and they wouldn’t give us a refund. As expected, it was stone cold by the time we got it home. (It was probably stone cold by the time she left the house seeing as it was delayed 2 hours.)2/5 for food since it was stone cold by the time it got here, but would’ve probably been alright had it been reheated.1/5 for service seeing as there quite literally wasn’t any.5/5 for atmosphere because I don’t really know what to put here since it was a takeaway.

I had a great experience at this Pizza Express, the lady serving us was very kind. I was surprised when they started speaking in my own language, which was lovely. Food was also good, and brought out quickly. Would definitely come here again.

This place is the best pizza express I've been to in years, you're right next to a river and the atmosphere is really nice, the food is a straight up delight and I will definitely visit here again in the future.Vegetarian options: More vegetarian meals on the menu than before.Kid-friendliness: All children are welcome in this lovely pizza restaurant.

First time at this particular Pizza Express, ordered Polla Forza and my husband had this and pepperoni ( a twin combination you can have) Both Excellent pizzas, cooked to perfection, ate the lot is was delicious, staff were quick, we were seated quickly as we asked not to be near children- noise factor and they sat us in a quiet area, thank you. Located just off the River bridge so you are in a lovely location. Will be back again to eat here when next in town.
This is a regular branch of Pizza Express set alongside the bank of the River Welland in the upmarket town of Stamford. It has a good number of tables as usual set around an open view kitchen area. There are also about three tables set on a balcony over the river but I have never seen these open for use and the chances of staff remembering you are out there are very slim.The food was average Pizza Express fare although I am always surprised how the same pizzas look different every time you visit or between different branches. I thought, especially for nutritional information purposes, they would all be made exactly the same rather than allowing them to be open to interpretation or maybe some chefs are lazier than others in the way they prepare things. Also the chilli oil was incredibly mild to the point it wasn't worth bothering with which is a shame as I particularly enjoy it.Staff were friendly enough but were very slow and didn't pay enough attention to what was going on. This led to our children getting bored and restless for what should have been a simple lunchtime meal. We ended up being there two hours when we expected to be there one hour.The toilets were clean and respectable enough although we were there not long after opening so there shouldn't have been a problem. The gentleman's toilet needs to be better signposted. A number of men accidentally use the ladies as it isn't clear where the gent's is.In places the restaurant is looking rather tired and could do with a bit of TLC but in the current climate I doubt that will happen.On the whole it is ok and perfectly acceptable but it just backs up my idea that going out to a restaurant no longer has any wow factor and you are just as well eating at home and saving money.Parking: Parking is difficult around Pizza Express but there are paying car parks a few streets away and there are free on street spaces in the surrounding roads but they have limited times allowed. Further up the road heading out of town there is some free and unrestricted parking but these spaces are very popular and difficult to find.

Really dissatisfied and disappointed with this branch. Ordered multiple pizzas on deliveroo well in time before closing and they kept pushing back delivery time. Ordered at 9:30pm, they accepted, made the pizzas; said they couldn’t find a driver been waiting for hours until 11:30pm- TWO HOURS. They had shut at 10pm and obviously just threw away the pizzas and went home. Luckily deliveroo helped me cancel. Will not be reordering.

Pizza was delicious, fresh, service lovely, but prices have gone up so much, it can not be considered family friendly anymore. Lots of our friends no longer go due to same reason. You can eat restaurant meal for the same or lower price in other places in town. They used to have regular special offers, vouchers if booked online. They have a new app now to collect stamps but you would have to spend hundreds of pounds to benefit from them. Unfortunately we won't be going very often like before.

Wonderful staff. First meal out here since before lockdown (yes, I know, that's a while!). But the atmosphere hasn't changed at all! The food and service was amazing as always!
