Pizza Express 4 Albion Place, Leeds LS1 6JL

"We were seated immediately as the place wasn't busy. Once ordered, the food came quickly and was very good. We ordered starters and mains, plus drinks. After my son had finished his pizza first, his plate was swiftly cleared. We didn't mind this. However once we had finished our main course, our plates were cleared, then the bill was brought to us without us asking for it. We were surprised at this, we had planned on having dessert but didn't feel comfortable asking for it after this. The restaurant wasn't busy, only a few tables were occupied, so this was not the reason they wanted us out. Pretty soon after the bill had arrived, a waitress came over with a card machine. Then she remembered that I had Tesco vouchers to use. She gave me a few moments to get the vouchers on my phone then she was back with the machine. They clearly wanted us to leave which made us feel unwelcome. This was not a good experience in all honesty. They hadn't even asked us how our meal was or asked if we wanted more drinks, I had to get the waitress's attention to order another drink. Very disappointing as we had expected a nice evening out, not to be rushed with no dessert or coffee. It wasn't late either, only about 9.15. Next time we visit Leeds we will go elsewhere to eat."

"We've been going to pizza express for 10-15 years, we always ask for a fiorentina pizza with a soft yolk. Which sometimes you get, sometimes you don't. In this instance we were provided 2 pizzas with raw egg underneath the surface ... Completely raw. When we pointed it out the staff attempted to explain it away by saying it can't be done any other way and other food items influence the cooking. Basically implying that we asked for it like that and what did we expect. Many times we have been served a soft yolk without the white being raw. You need to cook your food longer. We actually had to ask for one to be refunded, which was the least they could do. The food was largely inedible. The same server even had the cheek to point out the tipping question on the bill. Press no yourself or don't point it out after that farce."

"Pizza was nice (Pollo Ad Astra) but went cold within 5 minutes, put it down to the super thin base, and being served on a cold plate. Raw slaw was OK but nothing to write home about. Overall atmosphere was good but very loud."

"Good staff, good food, good atmosphere. Pizza Express is a good pizza chain who serve the best "chain" Pizzas I've tasted and I can't resist the garlic doughballs. There was a good range of drinks, including non alcoholic. There was a good atmosphere here, although it's a bit echoey, making it very hard to hear what's being said at your own table (although I might just be getting old). The staff were very pleasant, checked in on how we were doing and looked after us, although I got the feeling that they were staffed up for a busy evening which hadn't yet begun (we were eating early). And to, hopefully, make you smile; the best pizza joke ever (well not really) never mind it's too cheesy... That's the biggest problem with pizza jokes, it's all about the delivery…"
