"Setting off from Central London to the outer wilderness of High Barnet was a shock to the system as the temperature seemed to drop by ten degrees, however, not even the cold could deter me from reaching my next destination on the quest to visit every Pizza Express in London...as I ventured far north. Welcome to the Barnet branch! This was a wonderful evening with close friends and one of my most enjoyable trips so far.... Quality of food: 18/20 The dough balls were deliciously warm and the garlic butter helped them to melt in the mouth. My Pollo Pesto with no mushrooms was delectable; it was lovely to have some variety in the texture of the pasta. Finally, the generous helping of chocolate brownie Dolcetti added the perfect finish with a heart-warming cup of tea! Atmosphere: 16/20 The high ceilings (although rather plain) gave the restaurant a fine acoustic and I found the interesting art work absorbing, including that of the great Elvis Presley. The wine bottle display shelf was impressive. This restaurant will shortly be undergoing refurbishment work but will only be closed for a brief period. Staff friendliness and efficiency: 19/20 I was impressed with how welcoming the staff were from the outset, including allowing me to lay out seven Cadbury Cream Eggs for my friends before they arrived. I was asked whether I would like a drink whilst waiting for the other guests and our waitress made us feel very welcome for the entire duration. Cleanliness: 17/20 The restaurant was clean and it was welcoming to find our table set up and ready to go with laid out menus before the booking time. The refurbishment will no-doubt help the development of the facilities and restaurant ambience. Overall enjoyment: 18/20 What can be better than an evening out with great friends and lots of laughter? Thank you Pizza Express, Barnet, for being host to a memorable evening. Final score: 88/100 (A) Excellent Next stop: Battersea branch."

"Not sure why I have continued to return to pizza express at for Kinnaird, I suppose the main reason would be that my 21 month old generally really enjoys the food and I have to say the kids menu is better than I have seen in most restaurants however I always come away feeling dissatisfied about other things. A couple of months ago I meant to write a review regarding the staff. I took my daughter in for lunch, it was around 12ish on a week day so quiet. At one point I noticed every member of staff on their phone and not particularly out of sight of customers. I also watched the chef who is in full view of restaurant, take out his phone in the middle of making a pizza (with his bare hands), text on his phone then put it back into his pocket. This is obviously very unhygienic given we all know how dirty our phones get. Anyway another month went by and convenience and a hungry toddler brought me back in. This time I found a piece of plastic in my pasta looked like the piece of plastic you break off a pasta sauce tub. I was quite annoyed by this given we were the only people in the restaurant so I’m putting this down to sheer negligence by the chef. I have to say that I agree with previous comments about the standard of cleanliness but I can tell why as staff really don’t seem interested and can come across quite abrupt. Also the Bolognese has virtually no mince in it and far too much fennel!!"
