Read moreLived in Shepherd's Bush just shy of 30 years. For some reason, I'd never visited this branch of Pizza Express before. (Or Pizza Express, in general.) Always gone to a rival on Holland Park Avenue. 12 days ago, a buddy from Hammersmith popped round to see me. He didn't want to go "all the way" to Holland Park Avenue....so...(reluctantly)....I agreed to go with him to Pizza Express, (Shepherd's Bush.) What a revelation!! (And an utter pleasure.) Fresh and tasty tucker, Warm and welcoming service, Great background music. Not sure how I missed this one?? (I've been back twice. Both times without my buddy.) Meaning, I've been going on my own volition, LOL Had a pizza with a classic crust the 1st time - Yummy. On my 2nd visit, my Server not only remembered my name...but what I'd previously - Wow! I've just got back from another there. And my Server...(from all 3 times - A WONDERFUL!! lady called Mima? suggested I try the Romano crust. I did. And Mima was spot on in her recommendation. (B/c the crust is thinner...you taste even more of the filing.) TOTALLY !! want to commend her. (She's a big reason why I returned the 2nd and 3rd times.) As well as the tasty food, as well. lol. This is now my new local Pizzeria. Memo to Holland Park Avenue "rival" - It's...
Read moreThere were 8 of us and we had asked for a quiet table. We were seated in a great spot. Our waiter Marcelo was welcoming and did everything he could to make us feel comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. He happily took a photo for us of the group. I had the Brushetta- perfect! Pizza base, warm from the oven, beautiful flavour. Chilli prawns were superb. Low calorie choices were excellent! The Leggera Pomodoro was delicious.! Cooked perfectly, with a hole in the middle for salad! Others had the chocolate fondant and lemon with meringue roulade. All cooked to a high standard. It was a combined birthday, and Marcello picked up on this, and a special brownie decorated with Happy Birthday' was presented after the meal! Claudia had assisted with this lovely touch! They both came over to the table to sing Happy Birthday. Definitely recommend this restaurant! It is unusual to be served with such enthusiasm. Marcello is a great asset to the restaurant. As there were 7 of us the service charge is automatically added to the bill. Cannot fault the service in...
