"Well this was a refreshing treat. Popped into Pizza Express (Upper Street) and I felt I should make use of the offers sent to me via the Pizza Express App. Truth is, I had a feeling that would happen... he he. We were welcomed in (lady friend and I) an immediately I noticed we noticed a warm and friendly environment. We sat at our table, free to choose and I got to work on the whole link the app to the table, place your order on the app, apply rewards to the order, stand up and touch your toes, spin around 3 time, do a little dance, sit back down and hope and pray. I ordered the Classic Pizza La Reine and my Lady Friend ordered the Classic Pizza Fiorentina. We also ordered the Bruschetta Originale and Garlic Dough Balls for a starters, and Raw Slaw as a side. The Garlic Dough Balls were as expected, fresh backed, gorgeously melt in your mouth texture. The Bruschetta Originale was good, however the base was more or less a large oval shaped Dough Ball, half flattened. It started to feel all a bit too doughy, but it was fine in the end. The pizzas were actually quite good. I was surprised by this. The last time I visited Pizza Express was about 10 years ago. I was never too moved by the pizzas at the time. My Classic Pizza La Reine (without Ham) was pretty good. The quantity and ratio of mushroom to olives was spot on and baked to perfection. My lady friend reported similar of the Fiorentina. The icing on the evening had to be our designated waiter who was just fabulous all evening. It felt like if I had asked for a Lamborghini, he would have simply replied.. Be right with you Sir This guy was fine dining, seriously. I made sure to let him know as well, and typically he just remained humble with a shy 'thank you ' and proceeded to tend to our empty water glasses. Top notch geezer!!! Definitely recommend this Pizzerie!!!"
