Halal Reviews for Pizza Express Cheapside

I visited this establishment earlier this week for a reunion meal. It's really simple to book online and wasn't a problem that we had tastecards. You can get 2 for 1 on all starters, mains and desserts which is fantastic (Sunday to Thursday only). The atmosphere was fairly dead as it was a weekday which was perfect as it can get really busy so shouting becomes a must. Despite that the service was extremely slow and unattentive; our mains came before our starter plates had been removed despite being in situ for around 10minutes. The food is standard pizza express quality so pretty decent. There are toilets and easy access for those with disabilities. All in all a decent place to visit but do invest in a tastecard; we saved £51 on our bill by having 2.

Went for a 'pizza making' session where we all got to make our own pizza from the grounds up (except for the dough which was handed over to us). It was quite satisfying to be taught by the head 'pizzaiolo' to make a perfect pizza. Mine turned out to be good (see pic). Happy with the effort but struggled to finish my own-made pizza as the crust was a little too dry for my liking. Topped it off with an Eton Mess Sundae. One of our colleagues had her phone snatched by a thief on a cycle just outside the Pizza Express. She obviously was gutted. Nothing wrong with the establishment but the alley is too quiet even on a weekday so keep your possessions safe!

Worst pizza express I've been to for a long time. Rude waiter. Also had to send back a tiny salad 'Special' to get my usual order instead (so that I felt fed!), it came excessively drenched in olive oil. Had this dish many times before and enjoyed it, this was well below usual standard.

Pizzas here are tasteful. I enjoy them a lot. been here several times and will keep coming. I am a big fan of calzone. Like how they bake the dough. The crust is perfect. And all the ingredients are inside. I like it a lot...the classic pizza but in a different way.
