About PizzaExpress
PizzaExpress occupies a handsome, high-ceilinged building on Saddler Street, right in the heart of the city just off the Market Place, and retains many of the property's original features. It serves the familiar PizzaExpress range of classic thin-crust pizzas, from the Margherita and American to the Padana and the Fiorentina, alongside dough balls, salads and desserts, with the consistency and family-friendly welcome that make the chain a dependable choice for a relaxed meal.
As well as eating in, it offers collection and delivery through Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat, and runs pizza-making parties for children. The central Saddler Street setting makes it handy for a bite while sightseeing or shopping, and it keeps long hours through the week. As always, it is worth booking a table at busy weekend times.
