I don't often leave reviews but this visit to Pizza Express was particularly amazing. The Pollo Pesto pasta dish was the best I've had in many a year!It was also very refreshing to see the manager always present and just as interested in the customers and she was in the staff.10/10!! Will be recommending to family and friends!

Good location with plenty of nearby parking. Thank you!Parking: Plenty of council parking nearbyKid-friendliness: Kids loved the colouring books and the dough balls!

Shout out to the amazing pizza wizards at Pizza Express Abingdon! We can't thank them enough for fuelling our incredible volunteers and staff at our Christmas office party! Their mouth watering pizzas were the life of the party, keeping everyone satisfied and in high spirits. We're forever grateful for their generous support, making our festive celebration an absolute hit!

Food speaks for itself. Good meal as usual. Porchetti pizza very nice. Service today from Leon was excellent. Made us feel very welcome and was very accommodating of our many food choice changes. So thank you.

Superb attentive service from your servers today, Leon and Aman. Thanks to you and the delicious food, our class Christmas meal was a great success. Our group had many additional requirements and questions which Leon dealt with, with patience and profesionalism. Thank you. XVegetarian options: Would have prefered to not have had vegan cheese in my vegetarian Calzone.

The front of house experience was truly like nothing I've ever seen before. It was spectacular. The service was immaculate with friendly staff and the pizza was the single best I've ever eaten.

Where do you start with this?We booked a table of 11 for my daughter’s 16th birthday celebration with our family.The ‘Manager’ was diabolical. Right from the off she gestured to our table and carried on serving.We sat down and 20 minutes later were having to ask a waiter to serve us for drinks.We had to re ask the waiter to serve us to place our orders as we had been completely ignored.When the starters did start to arrive it was in dribs and drabs but, and this is where you have to start to laugh - the three portions of dough ball doppio came out looking like peanuts. When we asked what had happened to them, the waiter advised that some of them hadn’t risen properly.Not sure how you can serve them up knowing they were unacceptable but nevertheless there they were and so we sent them back to the kitchen.We then waited another 20 minutes for them to reappear - still without the two youngest members of the family’s starters - again, dough balls.We asked to speak to the manager at this point.The waiter went away and came back to advise she was in the kitchen and would be out in 5 minutes.Should a manager be in the kitchen?Perhaps - to sort out the kitchen issues but when she didn’t appear after a further 10 minutes, I went to the kitchen entrance and she was in there preparing the food herself.When I caught her attention and asked her to come out to speak with me, she told me to give her five minutes.It was at that point I said no, enough was enough and asked her to come out immediately to discuss the service.She slammed her way out, stomped across to me and asked me what was the problem - knowing full well.I explained to her that she had effectively ruined our family celebration for my daughter by making us wait (at that point) for over an hour for sub standard service and food to which she asked me what she wanted her to do about it (!)You’re the manager. If you don’t know what to do about it then I don’t know what else to say to you.So the answer was nothing.We told her we were leaving.She then said ‘so you don’t want me to carry on with your mains, then’No, lady. We don’t.All I can say is thank God for Dominos delivery.Well done Pizza Express Abingdon.You have truly surpassed yourself with your inadequate food, staff and management.A Saturday night, table of 11 at 6pm in a half full restaurant.Shameful.

We had dough balls and great pizzas. Very helpful and friendly waiter who helped me use the loyalty app which saved us money! A good meal and great atmosphere. Excellent
I will not say this is one of the best pizza express outlets I have been to because I previously had bad experiences here but this time it was a completely different one. I had given this place a 3 star a couple of years back but this time I want to rate it a full 5 star because of the exceptional service by Mitop - very welcoming, constantly being looked after, it was almost closing time but he didn't at anytime make us feel rushed. He even gave my son a few treats to take home - this was such a nice gesture from him. Thank you Mitop for the lovely service.

Both front of house staff were great, they were attentive, prompt, friendly and really helpful; they even sang happy birthday for my friend's son.

Staff seemed friendly, food was fast, the app makes it easy with paying and getting discounts etc. but the pizzas were overcooked and burnt on the edges and the dough balls were a little overcooked too. The halloumi was a little greasy too.

Good as always. Consistent quality pizza and quick and efficient service. You can join the loyalty club with the app and get a free side/dough balls. There’s lots of indoor seating and a beer garden seating available out back in the summer.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu and colouring crayons provided.

We had a lovely time tonight, our waiter Jacob was attentive and knowledgable, and couldn’t do enough to help. Food was amazing as always, to the point we ended up staying for three courses. ? 5 Stars all round for the team. Will definitely be back again soon.
