Food
I had a Piccante Pasta £9.95 today for lunch and here is what I have to say about food at Pizza Express especially given as I have been there many times and tried their salads and pizzas too.
I found the food to be of not very good quality. The pasta used tasted cheap and rubber like. The Piccante pasta was described as spice, however, the minimal spice that was present was overpowered by a fake sweet tomato base. I had to put additional salt and chili flakes in order to give the pasta a taste.
I have no comments in regards to the meat and rocket used. The portion size is fairly standard. The presentation as you can see in the photo was decent but having eaten at places like Strada, it could be better.
Ultimately, had this pasta been £5 I would not complain, it is just not worth it for a tenner given Strada and Zizzi offer better quality for the same price.
Service
I have a few comments to make about the service. I did not like the fact that when a pizza or pasta dish is served they do not offer cheese to grate on top as a cheese lover I noticed this! The staff seem not necessarily friendly or rude, they were 'normal'. Food came relatively fast.
Decor
In terms of decor Pizza Express isn't anything special or unique. I did find the uniforms of the chef quite amusing. The uniforms are black and white striped tees with a black hat. To me , they looked like jail broken convicts! Given the simplistic and ordinary decor which is basically like their service and food just not price, it is not a restaurant I plan to frequent often!
Until the next restaurant....
