Pizza Express: Millbank
I have of course been to the boxiest Pizza Express in London many times before, but not since I started my (very slow) journey round them all. So yesterday it was Pizza Express Millbank. It’s square. It’s rectangular. It’s a box. What else is there to say? Other than it has probably the widest corridors [...]
Pizza Express: Great Portland Street
Another day, another Pizza Express. It’s a tough life you know… This time it was the Pizza Express in Great Portland Street, which has one of the nicest layouts I’ve comes across in a Pizza Express. Perhaps due to the shape of the site it is located on, it’s not a bog standard oblong room [...]
Pizza Express: Royal Festival Hall
Imaginative or bonkers? I refer, of course, to the cutlery laying habits at the Royal Festival Hall Pizza Express. One row of tables laid with knives, but no forks; a parallel row of tables laid with forks but no knives. Efficient or pushy? I refer, of course, to the serving habits at the Royal Festival [...]
Pizza Express: Greek Street, complete with new menu
It was off to Pizza Express in Greek Street last night, having been invited to their launch event for the new menu. Red carpet was rolled out for the event and tables moved out of the way, so I can’t judge what the venue is normally like. But it certainly seemed long and thin when [...]

Euston Road is very much the latter. Bad for people who like elbow room. Good for people who like eavesdropping. And [...]
Pizza Express Montague Close (4 Borough High Street)
So, what to make of Pizza Express restaurant number 3? Basics first: it is more Langham Place than Charlotte Street in having echoing furnishings that make it fairly noisy (Ed: are you just getting old?) and it’s relatively short on natural day light; it’s got the worst toilets I’ve been to in a Pizza Express; [...]
Pizza Express Charlotte Street
The Pizza Express in Charlotte Street certainly has an edge over Langham Place when it comes to ambience. Inside, Charlotte Street is rather crowded, with the tables very close together. However, the huge windows and clear glass means there is plenty of natural light inside – making the place feel larger and more inviting, rather [...]
Pizza Expess Langham Place: bit like an airport
There’s a touch of the airport terminal hallway about the Langham Place Pizza Express. You almost expect to look up and see people wheeling trollies past you a few tables away. In fine Pizza Express tradition, despite recently changing their Chocolate Glory recipe and dropping the Double Chocolate Glory, they still didn’t have all the [...]
