Had a lovely lunch here this afternoon for my daughter’s birthday, the food was excellent and our waitress Mia was wonderful. They catered excellently to my husbands dietary requirements, hope to come back again soon, can’t recommend them enough.

So before I start this is a chain so that has to be taken into consideration when I start the review and as somebody who is very picky over pizza I'm bound to be slightly more critical over pizza then other dishes.Firstly the resteraunt is nice inside comfy seating and as with all Pizza Express you can see your pizza being made.The service in this branch was the real winner over everything the lady who was looking after us was friendly great and gave attention to my nephew so they went far and beyond your normal expectations.For starters we shared the classic dough balls which to be honest are great for me and the garlic butter is always a winner simple dishes like this are always a winner, alongside this we also had calamari which I was worried about but for what it was it was great, it reminds me of frozen calamari but with a nice coating and a bit more care so is it my favourite no, is it good for what it is well yes it is.Then on to the main event once upon a time I used to love pizza express before we saw the pizza world explode in England and everything became sough dough or neopolitan.We had the calabria which was nice flavour tasty toppings but the dough for me hasn't quite kept up with the levels of other places available now. It's tasty but is it at the top level, for me no it's not bit it's a good option. We also had a nduja calzone which was probably the only real lacking pizza. It needs more, I mean more filling and more tomatoe sauce it's tasty and nice smoked chilli flavour what is there is really nice but it just needs a little more.But yes I enjoyed my meal had brilliant service in a really nice resteraunt so it's a great option to have and alongside every specialist pizza places is the good safe option available with plenty of options at a great price.

Fantastic atmosphere. Attentive staff. Friendly and welcoming. Gregg made us feel comfortable and relaxed and Gosia served with a smile and was extremely helpful. Food was of a great standard and there is a good selection of drinks :)

This restaurant visit was by far my most disappointing dining experience. My party and I were seated and then inexplicably forgotten. After nearly 40 minutes of waiting, I had to contact the restaurant by phone to inform them that our order hadn't been taken. It was only after the manager's intervention that we could finally place our order. Regrettably, the two Italian servers assigned to our table consistently disregarded us, even engaging in personal conversations with other nearby customers instead of attending to our needs. When our pizza was eventually served, we were already considering leaving. Getting our receipt was yet another prolonged ordeal, taking an additional 30-40 minutes. The overall attitude and service from the two Italian servers were utterly unacceptable. This experience has left us with no intention of returning, and we plan to file an official complaint regarding this incident.

Good food & great service. Atmosphere was good too. It's definitely one of the better pizza expresses! Food came quickly and was tasty. Mia was an exceptional waitress, who was attentive and is a credit to the staff :)

It was a miserable wet day when my daughter, granddaughter and I came into Pizza Express. We were welcomed by Carl who looked after us so well and nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed our visit.

Never had a bad meal. Great service, simple but brilliant food and a lovely atmosphere. Greg's service was outstanding, couldn't thank him enough

Arrived ~1 hour before closing (it wasn't busy), initially ignored by the first person who walked past and made eye contact as I said hello, they then twigged that they hadn't greeted us and said they'd be with us shortly but wandered off with a chair. One of the other members of staff who wasn't busy then offered to take us to a table. No drinks were offered upon seating and it took ~10 minutes to have our order taken. Food came out in an acceptable time and was very nice. We only had starters however weren't asked how the food was at any point.It then took 10 minutes of trying to get someone's attention once we'd finished so we could pay the bill. Lots of staff were in the kitchen chatting and those who weren't didn't seem to be paying any attention to diners. Someone kindly brought the bill over however didn't bring the card machine (despite me having my bright orange card out and saying we wanted to pay by card). They plopped the receipt down and walked off. We sat and waited and eventually decided to just get up and walk to the door. The staff member didn't seem to take any notice of us (she saw us but ignored us, busying herself with something) and another colleague had to ask if we needed help. We did then manage to pay with the other colleague's assistance.Overall a fairly rubbish mundane experience. Most staff seemed unenthused and like they didn't want to be there / like they just wanted to go home / like we were all an inconvenience. Wouldn't choose to visit this branch again. Felt unwelcome and sensed a somewhat awkward atmosphere from the staff. Wouldn't recommend this location to others. Seems like our experience isn't dissimilar to that of other reviewers. There were only two of us dining, not a huge table.Just glad they didn't try to get us to pay a gratuity!

I went for a lovely dinner a few nights ago with my family, thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Mia was a great waitress, 10/10 service from her. She deserves a raise!! Furthermore, the food was cooked to perfection. Thank you pizza express Braintree for the wonderful customer service and food.

Joined two friends for a pizza on Christmas eve. It had been a number of years since we last visited Pizza Express and it was still good. Dough balls were delicious and my mushroom pizza was superb and it was not an issue to change the base from bechemel to tomato. The young lad serving us was fantastic. I just only wish I had asked his name for a special mention. We will definitely return when we are next in the area.
