![4]( "Recensione")
Pizza express is always a winner, although this one is let down by a few small details.
When we arrived, we were initially told we didn't have a table, and after a little eye rolling were given a table in the cellar. The cellar is quaint, but didn't smell particularly great.
Our waitress was super friendly and helpful, which was a welcome change from the welcome we'd received from the maitre d'.
When the food arrived, the maitre d' served some of it and a member of the party who is celiac asked to confirm if her pasta was gluten free, but she was ignored. I'm sure the maitre d' simply failed to hear her (although we were the only ones in the room so it wasn't noisy) and can only assume she felt rushed and busy. Nevertheless, I was pleased this was our final interaction with her.
I had the jackfruit pepperoni and cheesy dough balls and both were excellent, especially as veggie pepperoni is hard to come by on pizza.
We had the house wine, and I would certainly recommend trying another bottle (which are only a pound or two more) as whilst it was drinkable it certainly wasn't the greatest.
For 7 of us, with half having a starter, all having mains, and half having alcoholic drinks, the bill came to 200 GBP including tip.
I'll certainly be back but will be hoping that the maitre d' is under less pressure, and will request a table that isn't in the cellar.
Like Pizza Express. Any excuse for a fiorentina pizza. I appreciate we are in the midst of a cost of living crisis but it appears that Wagon Wheels are not the only things that are shrinking with time... Will be able to fit the entire pizza on a side plate before long. That said, it was still delicious! Had the biscotti cheesecake for afters. Entire bill came to £90 for three of us. No alcohol
Morgan was a delight serving us this evening.
And the food was delicious as ever. Long time since we have eaten here. So happy to see standards have not changed.
