Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.

The epitome of 'does the job.' Safe enough, food's fine. But your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.

Great for pizza, but don’t expect Michelin stars.

Pizza Express is your basic pizza joint that just gets the job done. The Dough Balls are gluten-free and a fan favorite, but don’t expect any culinary revelations here. It can get super busy, especially with large groups, but most reviews mention that service is surprisingly quick. Gareth and Ioannis seem to be the stars of the service team, keeping things light and fun even when it’s packed.

If you’re after a no-fuss pizza meal with friends, this is a reliable spot. Just remember, you’re not here for fine dining—it's pizza, and it’s exactly what you’d expect.
