    Service was great as usual but i am not pleased with pizza express removing pollo forza from the menu. I also ordered the pollo forzo leggera which the chef kindly does but i was charged normal price for a whole pizza. It’s not about the price but the consistency. Sometimes they charge normal and sometimes more or sometimes the chef can do the requested pizza and sometimes not. To be honest im a little Annoyed at that. But other than this the pizza was really good.

    Unexpectedly beautiful setting for a Pizza Express restaurant. Lovely building with an amazing atmosphere out in the front garden area on a sunny summers day. Staff were very kind and attentive, and the food and drink came exceptionally fast. We had the Bruschetta to start which was very fresh and tasty. We then shared the new pizza with Prosciutto Ham, Asparagus and Egg, and it was very nice. Thin and crispy just how I like it. Paying via the app was super simple and it makes the whole process a bit nicer, as you don't have to keep trying to get the waiters attention, you can just pay and be on your way. Highly recommend.

    Update March 8, 2024: I have yet to receive a response from the manager about our unfortunate experience. This silence only reinforces the impression that the customer's satisfaction is not a priority for the management team. --- Update 4 December 2023. Having been asked to contact the manager which I have done I have received no response after 3 weeks! - After a visit to the Saatchi Gallery, we chose Pizza Express for our son's favorite dough balls. Initially, the staff was welcoming, and we placed our orders. Unfortunately, while my son's pizza arrived, the dough balls were forgotten. To add to the disappointment, my wife, Mia, was severely burnt by the extremely hot ham on her pizza, an incident that could have been avoided with a caution from the server. In seeking ice for her burn, I encountered a lack of urgency and empathy from the staff, particularly one who dismissed our repeated requests while prioritizing dessert preparation. When the ice was finally provided, it was with reluctance and an attitude that added to our discomfort. The experience was further marred by overhearing the staff speak negatively about the incident and a palpable unease in their service thereafter. Despite this, we finished our meal, which was average in quality - my pizza cold, my wife's too hot, and my son's mediocre. We left without the initially forgotten dough balls and without any acknowledgment of my wife's injury. I prefer to highlight positives and respect the demanding nature of service roles. However, the service at this Pizza Express was notably poor, overshadowing the cozy ambiance of the place. I'm compelled to warn others and urge management to improve their customer care. Regrettably, we won't return, a letdown in such a reputable area.

    Went back for the nostalgia but it did not live up to what it used to be. The food was average at best. The pizza tasted like something you could make from your freezer. A bit of a let down go be honest.

    It's Pizza Express. The UK version of Magic Mushroom. Where else in Chelsea could you get quality food for a group of 7 and not remortgage the house? The wait staff was outstanding. Very helpful and attentive to customer needs

    Came across this place while looking for a place to have a dinner with my friends. We ate really delicious pizzas. service was fast. you can sit outside if you want or they had places to sit inside. we preferred to sit outside, because the weather was a bit cold, the heaters were also on, so we sat in a pleasant way without getting cold.

    A lovely all time favourite Restaurant. Dog friendly. The garden and catered for my nut allergy well. I had my friend with her child and they were lovely with him providing him with kids menu and art stuff to keep him busy. We had a lovely lunch together.

    I am not going to lie: I love the building, for its history and for being the location of a mostly-forgotten movie that I love. Food is OK, reasonably priced, staff was very courteous. I am hoping to go back for a live jazz night next time

    We booked a table for the performance bar in the basement. It was a nice intimate space and only two large columns in the way, so the band was visible from most angles in the room. The place was full and busy but I felt staff were very quick to attend to our needs once we ordered. We enjoyed ourselves and the band was fun despite messing a song or two: but they were fun to be with.

    My first experience wasn’t the best. The sauce had not flavour and the pizza was too thin in my opinion. On the other hand, we received a great customer service and we really liked the location.

    Fantastic Experience Last Thursday we had delicious pizzas at the fabulous Pheasantry on the Kings Road. The staff were kind and greeted us with big friendly smiles. The atmosphere made us feel at home and the seating area was comfortable and spacious. The outside area gave off a Mediterranean vibe with a natural lavender scent. You didn’t feel like you were in the middle of the hustle and bustle of London town. The pizzas were tasty and the portion size were just right. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making the experience very enjoyable. Overall, we loved it and would definitely recommend for a large group of people.

    I've been to Pizza Express for my first time ever and I've been impressed by the service and food quality in terms of value for money. The supervisor, Giovanni If I'm not wrong, helped me to decide what to eat and look after my table to see if I was enjoying. Wonderful experience, thanks.

    I had an amazing time at Pizza Express. The manager and the waitress were remarkably friendly, and all the food I had was delicious: pizza, dessert and even my Spritz were all perfect. Also, the service was quite quick and we were looked after the whole evening. Such a lovely experience. Thank you, guys.

    We hosted our child’s birthday party in the private room upstairs and the manager Giovanni and his wonderful staff could not have been anymore accommodating. When we arrived the room was organized perfectly for the pizza making party, with ample seating for the children and parents to sit and mingle. The chefs went out of their way to entertain the children and staff was plentiful and attentive. The children enjoyed their starters and generous amounts of toppings offered to make their pizzas with. The setting was beautiful and the staff really went all out to ensure that every need was catered for. 10/10 service and satisfaction. Thank you to Giovanni & his team. We will be back!

    i loooved the outside area, even tho it was a bit cold, it looks so gorgeous, i was in love! we had to wait for a bit and go inside to ask if anybody could take our order, but it was totally fine and understandable (and there was a really smiley chef who greeted us and asked manager to come, thank you, you are a star) (i also hope that your managers arm is better now and he is fine, take care) unfortunately i didnt ask for our waitresses name, but she was blond and i would say in her 30-40s. she was super friendly! didnt mind to make separate tables for me and my partner (i highly appreciate that, i know, we were a bit of a headache), served us nicely and when desserts arrived even agreed to add some whipped cream on my salted caramel latte. it was really cute! i enjoyed american hot, and my partner - padana with some jalapeños. thank you so much for serving us even though it was kinda late and we were your last customers!💚
