Pizza Express - Menu

beautiful decor and friendly staff, airy and stylish as usual with pizza express. vegans are good for regarding the net, although the vegan cheese is not to my taste it is nice to see it as an option. dessert is much more limited.

First visit to the Tonbridge restaurant. Lots of positives. Menu for the grandchildren was excellent at a very good price, £7.95. Service was good and very friendly. Food excellent. Only one big but, which was the price of one piece of garlic bread. £5.65. Seriously??

To begin with, the staff were extremely attentive and seated us promptly. Our drinks arrived promptly as well, despite them running out of Sauvignon Blanc. The pizzas were slightly smaller than usual, with delicious toppings, though the dough had a crispy bottom and a soft middle base. The rocket salad was disappointing, as it only had grated Parmesan instead of flakes.

Will not be coming back. Very long wait for the food and missing drinks. Strangest bolognese sauce ever with fennel and not sure what else. Definitely not the comfort food you’d expect. Cesar salad had a fish (possibly a sardine? served on top, really odd. The lettuce didn’t look very fresh either. Very, very disappointing. Sadly no one asked us how the food was either.

The young man who served us we think was called Hamish was very kind and polite and made my husband's pizza spicy to his tastes. He was very attentive and I was very impressed with the vegan pizza menu offering a great variety. After eating a huge meal they offer a great size pudding that isn't too huge so you can fit a dessert in!!! They kindly gave us a discount for recognising my taking part in the Tonbridge half marathon.

I feel like they are starting to skimp on portions. I ordered a chicken pizza for £15 and it only had six pieces of chicken on it. The restaurant still has its bold color scheme, but I suspect that someone in charge is now being stingy with the ingredients. It's disappointing because the atmosphere is nice and the staff are great. However, it's disheartening to sit there and count how few chicken pieces are on your pizza, unable to believe that the chef would be so ungenerous.

So disappointed at our dinner in Tonbridge, the staff were very nice and helpful against all odds. Warm beer, I had 1 beer if you want to charge nearly £7 a pint please at least serve it cold, dirty glasses, soggy Calamari, no Jalapeños they had run out, how do you run out of Jalapeños in a Pizza restaurant? 2 glasses of wine nearly the national debt. 3 children and 2 adults cost me £170 REALLY It’s a pizza not a steak restaurant. I won’t be going to Pizza Express again anytime soon.

Despite having space we were declined a table. I’ve long been a fan of Pizza Express so we popped in at about 8pm on a Saturday evening. When we entered there were several pizza delivery drivers waiting to collect orders. Despite plenty of tables empty we couldn’t be fitted in. I’ve owned a restaurant myself, this was poor I get that there may be a delay, or the kitchen is under pressure but no such conversation! Simply we can’t fit you in. I won’t go back, we walked over to the very busy Havet who, despite being very busy fitted us in! I won’t ever be back.

We have eaten at this Pizza Express almost every week for over 10 years. That must be close to 500 visits. It is our go to place for the end of week family catch-up. Reliably, consistently good, both in terms of the food and the staff. And we have lived though various iterations of the menu in that time and several generations of staff. Not perfect, they occasionally produce food that is not great and staff are often young and in the process of being trained while earning little more than minimum wage. But they are just human. And speaking as someone who has eaten all over world, and in one year alone ate at every Michelin star Restuarant in London (a record I suspect), I remain impressed at...
