PizzaExpress — Restaurant in Charnwood

We recently hosted a joint birthday party for our 3 and 9-year-old daughters at Pizza Express in Loughborough, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, everything was seamless.

The booking process was smooth and informative - everything was clearly explained, and we felt confident going in. When we arrived, the staff greeted us with big smiles and helped us set up quickly and easily. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, which immediately set the tone for a fun day.

A special shoutout to our host Beth, who was absolutely outstanding. She went above and beyond to make the event even better than we expected. She kept the kids engaged, made sure they were always having fun, and somehow also made sure we, as parents, could relax and enjoy the experience of looking after 12 energetic children! Nothing was too much trouble for her or the team.

The pizza-making activity was a huge hit! The kids got to make their own bases and choose their own toppings, which they absolutely loved. While the pizzas were cooking, they enjoyed a delicious starter of dough balls with dips of their choice, and then finished off with dessert. The food was great quality, and all tailored to the kids.

The feedback from the children was amazing, with one even saying it was “the best birthday party she’d ever been to.” That says it all!

We would 100% recommend Beth and the whole Pizza Express Loughborough team for anyone considering a children’s party. They truly made it a memorable and joyful occasion for...

This was our first visit to a Pizza Express which made a nice change to our usual choice of pizza restaurant. With somewhere new, the menu choice was refreshing (it's so easy to find a favourite dish and stick to it) We went with the intention of sticking to the two mains for £10 deal but upgraded a little to a larger pizza. I opted for the Diavolo, my partner, the New Porchetta, my Mom had the Pollo ad Astra and my Mom in law the Classic Lasagna. The pizzas were all on the thin Romano base which meant the knife and fork approach but also meant they were light enough to polish off without the need for a doggy take out box at the end of the evening. The Diavolo was nice and spicy, the Porchetta nice and tasty as was the Pollo ad Astra. Comments about the Lasagna came as "the best lasagna I've ever tasted" so a big thumbs up for the food. I finished with a cappuccino which again was all good. The service was fantastic and Roberto (taking the name from the receipt) was so helpful and full of smiles throughout the evening. The place was lively, clean, fresh, modern and airy and seems very popular. It takes walk ins as well as bookings and given its close proximity to Cineworld makes for a handy post/ pre movie meal venue. I think we'll be returning to make our way through the menu to find our Pizza Express favourite. Would...

After walking around for a while I decided I would have pizza at Pizza Express. It had been a while since I had been to Pizza Express. They had a new addition to their menu, the Soho '65.

A slice of our heritage - tomato with garlic, fresh buffalo mozzarella, olives, rocket and shaved Gran Milano cheesSe.

So I ordered the Soho '65 and a side order of halloumi bites. It wasn't too long before my food arrived.

This is a rather simple, but tasty pizza. It’s also a square pizza.

I think they forgot to add the shaved Gran Milano cheese, this I didn't notice at the time. However I did enjoy the pizza and did like the combination of fresh mozzarella, olives, and rocket. The base was baked well and was crisp on the outside, soft in the middle, and tasty.

Alongside (as I had a free side in the app) I had a portion of halloumi bites, this was crispy coated halloumi with Italian tomato dip and parsley.

Didn't think much of these, the halloumi was okay, but I didn't like the tomato dip. I think as it was (probably) from a jar and didn't taste very fresh.

I did enjoy my meal and the service...
