Pizza Express

UPDATE I _think_ I visited here twenty years ago, however recent events and revelations suggest my recollection of the date I visited and other details may not have been as accurate as I had hoped. However I have now paid my bill in a full and agreed settlement, I hope this will close the matter.

What remains certain is the quality of the food and service I received, as I wrote at the time:

My daughter and her friends had a right Royal welcome and that was just the beginning - the service was fit for a Prince! And when I asked to change my order, the waiter said 'Dough balls with that sir? No sweat!' A truly memorable experience, I certainly won't forget this meal.

And everyone was so discrete.

Twenty years ago, in 2001, there was a moderate breeze of about 7 km/h and a gaping hole in my stomach, thus I decided to go to the Pizza Express in Woking (which is a VERY unusual thing for me to do). I went with my incredibly affluent friends and ordered the American Hot. While eating said pizza I did not break a sweat due to a peculiar condition, surprising those around me. The customer service was great, and I was treated like royalty!

I’ve only been to Woking a couple of times, which is unusual for me to do. Even more unusual is going to Pizza Express in Woking.

Have you ever been to a generic chain restaurant in a generic town and remembered every detail of the day 20 years ago? I do - it was otherwise a usual day for me to do - I woke up, got dressed (didn’t apply any antiperspirant as I don’t sweat- so regular Lynx Africa did the job), as I was not overseas I opted for a suit and tie instead of traveling attire of whatever common people wear.

As always I read my pocketbook guide to being an honourable gentleman. I remember this because it is a positive act to take action such as opening a pocket book.

After undressing and redressing for my daily massage, I took my children to Woking for a party (note- party, NOT a regular four day shooting weekend- big difference).

Usual for others but unusual for me, we went to Pizza Express in Woking. It was fantastic, luckily there was table service because if it was bar orders only I would have struggled - you see I do not know how to find the bar at such places especially Tramp nightclub. Would recommend 10/10.

Definitely one of the better Pizza Express. Fantastic service on the Thursday night we turned up. No booking and they were able to seat us within the busy restaurant. Just the right level of attentiveness, friendly in a way that made you feel at home.
Several families were dining and it did get noisy at times where we were sat in the "conservatory", but inside the restaurant was a different profile of diner, so suitable for a more intimate meal.
Food was well cooked, brought out quickly and full of flavour.
Will be back if we're in the area.

I popped in here on my way back from a shooting weekend (just a normal shooting weekend). I did the honourable thing and ordered the spicy Italian. I can eat the spiciest foods no problem, you see, because I have a rare condition where I can’t actually sweat. All in all the visit was a positive act. Would return.

Good when it's open. Have found if I want to order I have to get lucky. Literally turn orders on/off whenever they feel like it, no consistency at all. Half 4 on a Saturday and they're not open for orders. It's been like this for a while and in this day and age needs to change, like mentioned it's a shame as I always get great food . If they sort it out I'll revisit my review but what kind of a business operates randomly like this

We had a Pizza making party today for my 8 year old daughter and her friends, the staff were so lovely and so funny. The kids LOVED eating he delicious pizzas they made and the guys made us feel so welcome. It was brilliant!

I do like a pizza express. Service at Wokings venue is great. Big love to italian Mick, looked after us very well. The new Christmas menu is really nice. I had the bbq burnt ends. So much flavor! Even stayed for snowball doughballs.
