Haven't visited a pizza express for years, and my latest visit reminded me why not. This place has just never been for me. There's just no quality or memorable experience here.Took my wife and son on New years Day. Ordered an American classic and a margarita with an upgraded base plus the 3 course pizza for our son. The pizza base's were the same thickness so was pointless upgrading. I've never seen such little cheese on a pizza, it was incredibly poor value for money considering the individual price. Taste was nothing spectacular, a frozen Chicago town from a supermarket for £4 tastes so much better. We ordered a side of chips which didn't even taste like chips, they were soft and soggy so we left them.The kids 3 course was just shameful really, a popular name such as pizza express should be aiming higher when choosing what to offer children. Plain Dough balls with a side of butter to start? A tiny dried up pizza main and then Dough balls AGAIN for dessert but this time with white chocolate side? I can't think of anything worst. It was just horrendous. Absolutely no imagination, quality or time goes into this food.To drink we ordered 2 cokes and a children's apple juice. The coke comes in bottles, tastes flat and is warm. No fresh cold fizzy coke on tap? I mean really? The kids apple juice was a tiny little tub that lasted all of 3 minutes.Atmosphere is rather dull here, you look up and see chef's cooking who seemed to have less enthusiasm than me trying to eat my way through the pizza. Yawning, stairing into space. There was zero spark, zero energy, zero happiness and zero taste and all for a wallet bursting price of £60! Extremely bad value for money.Sorry pizza express I won't be coming back for many more years.

Rushden Lakes Pizza Express; Staff and table service was very good but there it ended. The atmosphere was that of a works canteen. P. E. claim that they are the home of 'iconic pizza'. The pizza I had was appalling. The base was soggy and under cooked. The topping was a mush. Don't make claims to be a quality pizzeria until you can produce something of a higher quality . Far better than what i wS served tonight can be bought frozen from a supermarket. For the price I was charged I do expect fresh sourdough base and skilled baking. The one I wS served was cheap frozen dough prepared and baked with minimal skill. I won't be back I will spread word of my disappointment and dissatisfaction. I will be frequenting QUALITY pizza restaurants in future where customer satisfaction is held in high regard.

Poppy was our server - and what a delight she was. Friendly, polite and attentive! She was a wee ray of sunshine on what was a freezing, dull, damp day.

Despite being a busy Saturday evening, we were greeted as we walked in and were quickly found a table. Service was quick and all the staff were friendly. The food was fresh and delicious, and we made sure we had room for dessert. Will visit again.

I bought a takeaway pizza x 2. It was awful! It was not fresh at all! I was sick the day after. My husband felt the same. This is the first pizza I have tasted that tasted so awful. Whenever I go pass this pizzas hut restaurant I feel sick! We were even shocked if the price. £47+I apologise to Pizza Express in Rushen. This review was meant for Pizza Hut in Wellingborough

We came on a Saturday evening as a family of 4 we had a lovely waitress called Holly, she joined in on a bit of fun that my son had with her and made the evening! It was a busy evening but the food was served hot and without much waiting time, all round very happy customers ?Dietary restrictions: My son is Celiac, they had a good choice of everything that he could have.
