Always good to have, even though I had some hiccups in my last dine with them that disappointed me only because I always had high expectations in the team over there, would I excuse them saying it was Ramadan? NO, should I be understanding to the situation? YES.
Until today I thought PE was an American franchise, only today I read that “PizzaExpress is a chain of pizza restaurants based in the United Kingdom”.
The vegi soup that never came
Yea, I never got my soup, I placed the order over the phone to have my food ready at 6.30PM since I had to pick my sister in law from the airport, I ordered the soup too but I never got it, I only realized that when I went back home and saw the receipt, they charged me for it!!
Baked Mushrooms
I always have these at Pizza Express and every time I do, I say they are a bit pricy (2KD for 7 or 8 minis) but well it is worth the taste I guess.
Nicoise Salad
Whatever restaurant I see Nicoise on the menu I must order, maybe because of the blend of Tuna & Eggs, anyway, it is a classic deliciousness if you like tuna (purrrrrr) but why this in particular? anchovies, where is my anchovies… the waiter said they ran out of it!, well why would you serve me a dish with a missing ingredient without prior notice then? I think the manager overheard and came to my table immediately saying that he will get it for me, he did, I am glad the man who runs the show knows how to handle customers :)
Nostrana Salad
Recommended by the waiter over the phone since I wanted 2 salads & not 1, it was a good salad, different sauce.
Baked Goat Cheese
Love it!, I just realized that things I love comes in small portions! :(
American Pizza
For my wife who is very much fussy & particular when it comes to food,
American Pizza
she loves pepperoni, I don’t know why, beef bacon tastes better than pepperoni
Quattro Stagioni
The 4 seasons pizza 1 ingredient on every quarter apart from the tomato (mushroom, olives, cheese & pepperoni), not my favorite but my wife wanted to have it, she realized later than it was not what she wanted (women) :P
All in all?
Ambiance: good (top floor at the airport)
Food: very good
Service: not as good as they usually are.
Value for money: Mid to High
Ya zalami weeeen Hal gaybi …. La so2al wala question :p
hala 7abeebi, keefak? mawjood, eta ween, keefak o keef el ahel, 3ajabal el akel el hay2a! :P
7ilwa hathi charged but not served, madri laish always em6awef
it’s not about that, I just saw it late and thought it ain’t worth the hassle to go back but no, mo “em6awef”, I will send an email soon :P
You saved yourself the trouble.. their soup is awful and always not “fresh”. :( Pizza Express has gone downhill in recent years unfortunately. I used to like them, but think they can definitely do better, It’s also very embarrasing that for a company as big as they are, they haven’t renovated or refreshed their airport branch, because it looks tired and neglected. It’s not like they can’t afford it!!
haha, really, that bad ? I see your points, I was missing out on such details actually, renovation & such. let us hope they see this, the aim is definitely to voice out and improve customer experience
Mushrooms are to die for!! You didnt take a pic of the little balls of fresh bread it comes with… they are adorable!
will do that on the next review, this was just a quick snap, trust me, when u r around hungry ppl u dont get the time to TAKE ur time! :P
