Pizza
Express Italian Restaurant Manchester - reader comments
"My husband and I really do like Pizza Express, there is something
very reliable about the place and when we visited the
Exchange Square branch on a Friday evening it was fairly
quiet and relaxed. We both shared nuts and olives to start
and followed this with the deliciously hot and spicy Etna
Pizza. This was all complemented with a very reasonably priced
and excellent bottle of the Sicilian Nero d'Avola Shiraz.
The only couple of minor niggles we found were that some better
knives would have helped as the pizzas can be tougher
to cut than you would think! We would also have preferred
to finish our starters before the pizzas arrived. All in all
though if you want a pizza, I would still suggest you go to
Pizza Express" -

"I always thought Pizza Express was a safe option when you
wanted a bite to eat. Nothing special but good quality food.
I was wrong. My friend and I think it may be due to it's location
and felt it was aimed at tourists. We felt we would have had
a different experience at the South King street branch. The
place was dead with no atmosphere or music. All staff
were partaking in a big clean up which is good but not when
you are trying to have a meal. The food was average.
The starter wasn't cooked properly and the pizza was hard.
After eating many a Soho Pizza in my time I was looking forward
to the big flakes of parmesan. Instead I got a meagre offering
which was damn right embarrassing considering its a main component
of the pizza. When asked why they were shy with the ingredients,
we were informed that it's always like that. At least the
wine was good after choosing the recommendation from our
server. We ran away very quickly without leaving a tip and
consoled ourselves with a cocktail at the Modern's bar. What
a waste of a tea opportunity in town" -
