 | |  |  | Pizza Express: Pizza Express - Italian chain, all over London | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
Pizza Express is a chain of pizza restaurants that seem to be on every corner in London. They all have identical menu's but each has a unique and interesting restaurant fit out. We have been to several different branches and always found the food tasty and service generally good. This is the type of place to dine if you need a quick pre-concert/theatre meal, as service is always fast and the food comes very quickly.
The menu consists mainly of pizzas, with a few pasta and salad options as well. I always have pizza, and often make up my own toppings - I will order the Margherita, which just has Mozzarella and tomato, and then add whatever takes my fancy, such as chicken & sun dried tomatoes, or tuna & goats cheese. Alex's favourite is the Sloppy Giuseppe pizza, which has hot spiced beef, green peppers and onions. Their desserts are edible, but not really worth the extra calories. The wine list has a basic range of Italian wines, and we have often found the house wines to be better than the more expensive options.

| | | | Pizza Express: Great pizza, but not necessarily "express" :) | Tip Rating:   Satisfaction: | | | | |
We had lunch one Sunday afternoon at the Pizza Express off of Trafalgar Square. A fantastic selection of pizzas, and mine (goats cheese and sundried tomatoes) was fantastic. However, just be aware that it is a sit-down restaurant with average waiting times. I was under the impression it was nearly fast-food service based on the name, so I was a little surprised at the 20-minute wait for the meal. However, as long as you allow enough time, it's definitely worth the wait.
The goats cheese and sundried tomato pizza. All of their pizzas are thin-crust, and, like all other pizzas I saw in the UK, are not pre-cut into slices as they almost always are in the States, so keep your knife handy!

| | | | Pizza Express: Good pizza, multiple locations | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
January 2006 update* Tried a different location this time, right near Piccadilly Circus. I ordered a Bufalita pizza with fresh mozzerella, tomatoes, pesto and rockets (green leafy things) and although the flavor was good, the toppings were poorly distributed, huge hunks of tomato which I had to cut and huge chunks of fresh mozzeralla, same problem. Too bad, I had the same pizza in York and loved it. Let me start by saying that I eat a lot of pizza, not only at home in Chicago, but also virtually every place we travel to. The pizzas at Pizza Express were not among the most memorable that I've tried but they were satisfying and much better than the mostly dough pizzas we've had at other places in London. We ate at the location at 133 Baker Street which has an al fresco dining section. The location was a bit too noisy for outside dining being on the busy corner of Marylebone Road and Baker Street.
Most of the pizzas offered had nontraditional ingredients such as asparagus, artichokes or eggs so I opted for the American with pepperoni sausage, mozzarella and tomato. The pizzas are thin crust, baked in a wood oven and although one was a little big for me, it wouldn't have been enough for two.
