This particular Pizza Express did not hit the mark for me on a recent visit. My partner and I split an order of garlic bread that was very under seasoned, and lukewarm. Perhaps something was wrong with the oven, because I then tried the Funghi de Bosco on a Romana crust, which was not what I would call "crispy," nor was it hot. My partner's American Hot was cool as well. We sent both back to the kitchen for a warm-up, something we really shouldn't have to do at a chain so established as this. The pizza itself, much like the garlic bread, lacked flavor.
Dessert was probably the highlight of the experience. My partner and I both ordered from the Dolcetti column of the menu, which includes mini desserts and a coffee. The Mini Chocolate Fudge Cake (really, a chocolate cupcake), was very nice, although ironically, I would have preferred it room-temperature.
I was stunned by the number of families with loud, obnoxious children here on a Thursday night in April. While I find most children to be adorable, there are only so many renditions of "Happy Birthday" I can take, and the two-year-old at the table next to ours was determined to set the record.
Our waitress was not what I would call "attentive," and so we had to flag other waitresses throughout the evening for additional glasses of wine or water, and for the check later on.
The building itself, however, is very attractive. I wish the restaurant had seated us on the second level, which seemed much quieter and offered a lovely view.
Overall, not the best Pizza Express I've experienced.
