PizzaExpress - Cardiff

This is my all time favourite Pizza Express. Its got everything, the views are great, the atmosphere is perfect and the service is always top class. Its always busy so we often have to wait, especially on Wednesday when it's hard to resist the Orange 2 for 1 deal. But also there are usually other deals too if you go to their web page. There's nothing better that good food, except for cheaper good food. They seem to expect the busyness so they have a little seated area to wait which is nice. My prepared pizza is a Padano with chicken and they do it so well here that I never get bored of it. I wish Pizza wasn't so full of fat because I would eat here all the time. I've never had a salad, but even they look great! And the wine is really good too.

Pizza Express have the perfect location in the bay area, it has a high visibility on the corner of a street with a circular design to the windows that unique, every one who visits the bay has to pass by, you can't help but go there. There a lot of competition from other pizzerias but the location makes the difference at street level with ample indoor seating and out door patio. You'll find the pizzas taste great but nothing to write home about and the service is swift. The pricing is inexpensive and I would choose them over a Pizza Hut any day.

This is a very cosy and a relaxing environment where delicious food is served and which is cooked with great delicacy and creativity. To inspire your imagination and to attract all of your five senses that will properly explode with shiver down your spine in sight of the wonderful Chefs cooking the pizzas right on view. As a very hot sizzling fire crackles away inside the unique cooker that you see heat up the pizzas there and then, right on view for everyone to see, who sits in there restaurant. You can see the cooks creating the pizza on the work tops there as well... It certainly makes this pizza restaurant more unique a place of atmosphere than any others in Cardiff to visit. The employees that do work there are very welcoming and friendly. You can order more than just pizzas there such as Lasagne and a fair few more meal options as well. I recommend this place to all especially to all pizza fans! This particular restaurant is situated down in Cardiff Bay.

I know its a chain so you probably think if you've been to one you been to them all. No so. I have been to a few and this one by location, design and food beats many of the others including the city centre branch. You can't book so you will often have to queue but it won't be for long and the wait is worth it. On a summers day they can open up 1/4 of the restaurant to let even more light in to its bright, airy and circular structure. So having bigged this place up I have to mention 2 the occasions (out of a dozen times I've been there) that we were not entirely happy. The first was when the manager took ages to seat us even though the restaurant was seemingly half empty. And the second time was on a bank holiday and we had to complain about the state on the toilets not something you would thing would be a problem in a place like this. Overall though, even if you're not a fan of chain restaurants, this is worth an exception.

Pizza express is a chain of restaurants that most people have heard of and that most people have been to before. So why am I reviewing it I hear you ask. Well... not only is this particular reataurant situated in the beautiful surroundings of Cardiff Bay. It also has a lovely feel to it and serves great food by great people. On a sunny day they open the glass doors and seat people outside. Also at the minute if you google Pizza Express there are so many websites offering 2 for 1 vouchers. I suggest you get hold of one of these before you go, as when the bill is that much smaller it makes the food taste that much better. I can recommend most of the menu but in particular give the Tricolore a go from the starters menu and the Il Padrino a go from the mains. Happy dining!
