What a great place. Typical Pizza Express good food and at this one in Harpenden, fast, friendly service. I had the Bruschetta to start and the new Nicoise salad. Really nice! And Pizza Express are clever with their menu development by catching the public mood for healthier eating. A Leggera Pizza (under 500 calories) and mini puddings offer guilt free... More

We popped in for a bite to eat on a Friday night. The food was really good and at reasonable prices. Great choice of wines and beers and I couldn't compliment the staff highly enough. Service with a smile! Fab. The following night we had dinner at the OXO Tower in London and I would say Pizza Express wins hands... More

Give yourself an extra 20 minutes standing waiting at the entrance for someone to even acknowledge you. They will look at you but not say hello or rush to get you seated , tight on toppings and small size pizza , very average atmosphere and overall experience More

Pizza express is usually a place for us to visit regularly at home, yet the one we ate at when passing through Harpenden was a disgrace. Poor service, food delivered extremely late and no apology ; all in all no excuse. As it is a chain though, we will continue to visit the Pizza Express in Bristol but will definitely... More

What has happened to this restaurant?. Visited Sunday lunchtime. The place was untidy, dirty and the staff were indifferent. The food was appaling I was there with my grandaughter and we could not eat the disgusting apology of food. I have never complained before but really feel that given the choice of eateries in Harpenden this venue should be avoided.... More
