My son has coeliac disease so eating out is tough and finding somewhere that does gluten free pizza is extra hard. Fortunately Pizza Express is able to accommodate and its great we can eat out as a family and my son doesn't feel left out. On arrival we explained the gluten free requirements and they reassured us of their procedures to minimise cross contamination. My sons food was brought out in advance to again minimise contamination from handling. My son was very happy with his doughballs and pizza and he can be fussy. We all enjoyed our meals, service was quick and good and we enjoyed a nice family meal out. Pizza Express will be a regular for our family.

Very nice and helpful staff Restaurant had few customers although other local venues were only accepting those with bookings My daughter had a.pizza whilst I chose melanzane, a dish I have eaten many times before It was served very hot but when ready to eat had a very strange flavour and I could not eat it Staff very quickly accepted my view and returned the dish to the kitchen and offered an alternative. Staff were very apologetic and explained it was a new recipe which in my view should be reviewed as it is horrible

We came to Chichester for a birthday weekend and to take the bus to the sandy beach of West Wittering. We were spoilt for choice for places to eat here but decided on Pizza Express because its consistently tasty. This branch did not disappoint! We received a lovely warm welcome, it smelt so good, had nice lighting and the food was delicious. I am normally so happy that I can still order the retro Four Seasons pizza but this time spotted a king prawn pizza. Oh my!! On a thin large romano base this was utterly heavenly! The dough balls were piping hot, the bottle of montepulciano was delicious and a perfect temperature as usual. We turned into animals and made utter pigs of ourselves by ordering desert-chocolate fudge cake and Billionaire's pudding, all so yummy. Our evening however was made perfect by the delightful and charming waitresses Elaine and Kerry, these young ladies were so attentive and lovely. A huge thanks to them for making our evening so very special.

Spot on as usual. Came here for a friend’s celebration, food was perfect and the waitress with black hair and glasses was a credit to pizza express with her service.

Excellent food, attentive staff and good prices.

Appalling service. Came on a Sunday. We were not given menus for children when we sat at our table nor crayons, waited a while until one and seems like only waitress came over to take the order which we couldn’t make as we didn’t have menus. We had 2 full sets of cutlery, and one additional knife between 4 of us. No water was brought to our table. My Rose was warm. When eventually we got our starters the mains arrived without side salads. We asked twice for a salad, the manager said he will take it off the bill but it was not taken off the bill when it was time to pay. Poorly managed place. Shame. Won’t be coming back.

Not sure what was going on tonight as the place was probably a quarter full tops yet the service was appallingly slow and unprofessional. We arrived and were told food would be 40 minutes. We were placed at a table and then not served any drinks for about 15 minutes despite being the only people waiting. We witnessed several other groups being turned away as if the restaurant was totally full. It was as if they didn't have a chef at all and the wait staff were doing the cooking. There seemed to be enough staff for the number of covers they just didn't know how to serve people properly. It just feels like the staff genuinely don't care if you give them custom or not which I am sure is the case.

Great freshly produce food

The only positive thing here was the food which was nice although overpriced. Service was mediocre but it was the state of the restaurant that was really off putting, absolutely filthy. The floor looked as though it has never been swept or mopped despite the restaurant was basically empty when we arrived, crumbs all over the seating, the whole place looked as though it needs a serious deep clean - doubt it’s ever had one.

Firstly, the greet and waiting staff were exemplary, polite, friendly and attentive, 5 stars for them. The pizza was good, about right for Pizza Express, although an extra item I had asked for was missing, for which the waiter was very apologetic, but it was no big deal. I have 2 issues with this restaurant. Firstly the state of the floor. We visited at 1pm on a Sunday, it was all but empty but the floor looked to not have been swept and certainly not been mopped for many days, (see pictures) and I wonder if that was the cause of the number flies buzzing around. The man making pizza was dutifully wearing a hair net, but his beard was not contained similarly which surprised me. It has a 5 star food rating but for me the state of the floor suggests it's maybe undeserved. Pizza tasted good, staff were excellent. Floor scared me.

I went with my daughter on 21st Aug. If I had visited the toilets and looked around this very dirty premises I would not have eaten any food there. The quality of the food was also poor... disappointed

My family and I, went to Chichester for the day. And we stopped off at PizzaExpress for lunch. PizzaExpress offer a wide variety of food, options, ranging from starters to main courses, to deserts. The staff are always very friendly and the food is exquisite.. You will always leave here with a full stomach. This PizzaExpress is just down the road from the cathedral. Would highly recommend.

Had a lovely evening at the chichester pizza express. Our waiter, Sean, attended to us as soon as we walked though the door on a moderately busy Friday evening. He kept up with our requests for food and drinks, he was very good. The food cooked by chef Dean came out promptly and was delecious. A great choices of mains for vegans.

We, myself, my son and a friend arrived at 6pm, by 7pm I was asking where are mains were, we had another hours wait for desserts & coffee. They were far more interested in their takeaway business, they couldn't have cared less about us the patrons eating in. When paying we were asked if we'd like to add a tip, I declined, saying the service was shocking
