Being Pizza Express typically the pizza takes centre stage, however pastas and salads are also available.

There is a varied selection of starters, yet the recommended- and perhaps the most popular is from the sides menu, the Baked Dough Balls. As the name suggests they are simply balls of dough baked served with garlic butter, a delicious alternative to the routine garlic bread.

There are is an array of pizzas to choose from; from the basic Margherita to the adventurous Parmense topped with asparagus, parma ham, grana padano finished off with a poached egg. Opting for the ‘devilishly hot’ Diavolo I was presented with a fresh pizza generous in toppings- although it lacked the ‘extra fire’ I was promised in the menu the pizza was still full of flavour and it was thoroughly enjoyed.

The Queen Street restaurant retains many of the features seen in Pizza Express’s across the country, and its open kitchen being an authentic Italian touch to what is already a modern yet welcoming restaurant.

Having ate at many Pizza Express’s in my time, the Queen Street branch served up exactly what the brand stands for; brilliant pizza’s topped with the finest ingredients within a modern and vibrant environment. The only complaint I have about this particular restaurant is the lack of service we received, we were left constantly waiting to be served, being a Sunday perhaps they were not prepared for the onslaught of weary shoppers turning up after a busy day of spending. Regardless of this, what it lacked in service Pizza Express most definitely made up for in taste and style.
