Pizza Express

This pizza express made me really happy at lunch!
I suddenly fancied pizza… and worked out that this was the closest pizza-​land to my office. Once I floated the idea, one of my colleagues also thought pizza was a good idea… so we called and ordered some pizza, then brought it back to our office.
Why it made me happy:
— I have a tastecard so one of our pizzas was free — It cost £6 each — bargain!
— It was huuuuge! I thought I would never be able to munch my way through it… but somehow I did (Oops)
— If you call and order, then go to pick it up they are pretty speedy
It isn’t the best pizza in London, but it is pretty solid for such a ubiquitous chain. I am sure I’ll have it again when I get a pizza craving.

Sometimes it’s just nice to go a chain restaurant that you know well with some friends — more often than not, you what to expect. It’s not exciting, more comfortable. Like a hot water bottle in winter, or your favourite spot on the sofa at home (that one that you always sit in and so get a bit annoyed by guests that sit there; of course you can’t kick them out so you politely sit somewhere else and hope they don’t ruin your carefully positioned cushions).
Pizza Express is everywhere, it’s a chain and it’s safe. One thing I can say in it’s favour is that there is ALWAYS a deal on, so when this one came round for a free bottle of Prosecco with food in celebration on my birthday, I thought it was the perfect chance to have a little celebration with close friends. Excellent dough balls (so much better than garlic bread even though it’s basically the same idea) and a nice Pollo Ad Astra pizza (chicken, red peppers, red onion and a hint of spice). Friendly staff, airy restaurant. Enough said
