"We went here for my friends birthday and we were greeted with a amazing server called Iza and she was lovely and her service was amazing, the food was fast and was very delicious and the desserts were the same quality. Definitely recommend to come here!"

"The food was less than average, nothing testy. What really disappointed me was the handling of a special occasion. We were celebrating a birthday and asked if they had anything for guests to mark the event. They brought out a cake, which we thought was a kind gesture—only to later find it added to our bill without prior mention. It felt misleading and left a sour note on what should have been a celebratory experience."
Serg Bel
"Great experience! We had the American pizza with pepperoni and it was absolutely delicious – thin crust, tasty ingredients, and perfectly cooked. I can’t eat gluten, and the staff were super friendly and helpful, adapting the whole menu for me. I had a starter, pizza, and dessert, all gluten-free and all amazing. Highly recommended, especially for coeliacs or anyone with dietary needs. Will definitely be back!"

Cote Bistro, Richmond upon Thames
Now I’m not averse to a Pizza Express pizza from time to time and there are a few of their venues of which I’m fond; however, since they did up the Richmond branch and going inside is now akin to walking into a rather horrendous, noisy motorway service cafeteria with its awful white chairs and tables, my occasional Pizza Express pizza cravings cannot be satisfied locally. I tried to brave it a couple of Saturdays ago with my daughter and only lasted 30 seconds inside before I suggested we shoot round the corner to Strada instead.

As the country’s favourite pizza chain, Pizza Express has been serving up authentic thin crust pizzas since 1965. If you’ve been craving their legendary dough balls, a Sloppy Guiseppe pizza, or their al forno cannelloni, you’re in luck. Pizza Express is one of the Wembley Park Restaurants reopening for outdoor dining on 12 April.
