Service

  • "When we were ordering some of my friends were indecisive instead of him to suggest favourites on the menu, he exclaimed 'I don’t have time I have things to do'."
  • "Walked in on Tuesday night... We were then ignored by 4 different waiting staff repeatedly when we tried to order over the next 10 minutes."
  • "We didn’t receive cutlery until we asked and my food had arrived and I was waiting 10mins for them to polish cutlery by that time my starter was lukewarm."
  • "Really bad customer service! Place was almost empty but still waited 25 minutes just to take our order."
  • "Trying to get the attention of one of them for our bill was also a challenge."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food was lovely hot and fresh."
  • "Our favorite item here is the Classic Dough Balls, which are soft and delicious, especially when paired with their garlic butter sauce."
  • "The hot honey dough balls were the perfect combination of sweet and spicy."
  • "Pizzas are well cooked and arrive at the perfect temperature."
  • "Pizza was very tasty and they use very nice ingredients and cheese."
  • "The chefs I just want to say thank you so much for the amazing food served I saw the passion at all detail and process to make the pizzas and pastas."
  • "Our pizzas were delicious and prepared in respect to our food allergies."

Cons:

  • "Food is always good however the menu must have changed as there was no broccoli or veg available for our 3 year old."
  • "Nothing special pizza experience. Pizza was quite small to be honest, expected much more."
  • "The Romana Garlic Prawn 'Succulent garlic king prawns on an Italian tomato base, with mozzarella, red onion and baby plum tomatoes. Fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon really make the flavours sing' Too be honest, we would not go for this again. There was a lack of flavour, could not taste any garlic or lemon."
  • "Finally, the pizza arrived cold and the garlic bread tasted like my 4 year old cousin’s rendition of one."
  • "The base of the pizza was slightly underdone - you can tell that they don't use a stone for their pizzas."
  • "Possibly the worst pizza I have ever had."
  • "The food was cold. One pizza was warmish and the other was just cold."

  • "Very spacious restaurant with an upstairs and downstairs for large parties."
  • "Great place. Clean and tidy. Well presented. On two levels so disabled access would be easy. Clean well maintained toilets."
  • "It felt so relaxed, considering you're right along the Thames."

  • "Had a lovely dinner with friends at Pizza Express London Bridge this evening. Food was amazing and service was impeccable."

Cons:

  • "The candle on our table wasn't lit and we were at a dark part of the restaurant."
  • "Hard to find this particular restaurant though as it is down a narrow alleyway on London Bridge."
  • "Very busy pizza express, which like many of them looks like it needs a little TLC here and there."
  • "Atmosphere wasn't the best."
  • "The worst personal in London. The whole restaurant was empty, we sat on cozy sofa, but and waiter told us to change table."
  • "They were not really busy but service was really slow."
