Meal away from home

Pizza Express is one of my favourite places to eat in the UK. However this branch of Pizza Express in Kowloon Tong is NOT what Pizza Express should be like. I really hate the fact that this is in the middle of Festival Walk, so much so it actually makes me angry. The restaurant would be much better if it was enclosed and not trying to fake "al fresco"

Pizza Express in HK has a mark up from the UK obviously just because it is "western" However I am happy to pay the mark up because I like the food. The menu is the same as the UK branches pretty much with a few minor changes to suit Asian tastes.

The tables in this branch are a bit small, specially as they insist on giving you an extra plate so you can share your food. This is a let down because I would like to be asked if I am sharing my food not for it to be assumed I am sharing my food with everyone on my table. I am not. I ordered for myself so I will eat for myself. The UK Branches do not have this issue.

The service in this branch was ok, we were sat inside so the staff had to pass us regularly so our drinks were frequently topped up and orders taken quickly.

Once the food arrived it did not disappoint, it was just like being back home eating Pizza Express. If your looking to eat proper pizza, Pizza Express is probably the best place to head to to avoid disappointment. However I would suggest booking a table as we had to wait 90 minutes for our table ( I only did this because I hate everywhere else in Festival Walk)

Only real criticisms for this branch is its location and the extremely long wait time and the huge mark up from UK prices. Worked out to be 3x more expensive for a meal for 2.

its my first time to eat in pizza express!
we (4 ppl) ordered 3 dishes:
1 chicken caesar salad
its was reli gd! the small bread are like lil mushrms!
the dressing is of the right amount!
2 salmon pizza
there are 6 pcs tgt!
the salmons are kinda overcooked n i don quite like the "cream" under the salmon...
but overall its still tasty
3 seafood spaghetti w tomato sauce
i forgot the name pizza express called it
again, its reli gd...the tomato sauce wasnt sour n not too sweet!
if i needa pick on sth, it would be their portion!
it should be bigger. at least the pizza shud be of 8 slices!
$85 per person for the above dishes !

Poor Service

Ate dinner there the other night with a group of friends.
All 4 people had to wait for about 45 minuites for a table.
Ordered a meal for 4 people the salad was good however the pizza was a disapointment.

The pizza was too thin and the paste was burn. The pizza was really greezy and we had to remind the waitress about our pizza.

There was unlimited refill on tea however the waiter/ waitress (all 4 people) were busy eating at a table behind the reception area.
Hello we were waiving them non stop along with other other who were asking for some kind of service.

The tea was basically sweet water. NO TEA or no taste just sugar water with colour.
Major disapointment and a suprise they offer us additional sugar water to add.

The bread doug was a disapointment and the garlic bread had no garlic taste just big to fill your stomach.

We really felt like refuse to pay the 10% service charge because there was no service come on it should be optional if you want to pay service charge. Fine its a standard charge and we pay additional for great service but for poor or no service why should I pay?

The service and food was greatly gone down the drain. I should say there is no service.

Recommended Dish(es): No service and poor food

Leggera Pizza | A Deception Or A Healthier Choice?
2010-06-03
Food Craver (198 Review(s))

I went to the Pizza Express in Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong as it would be more convenient to my friends. We did not book a table so we queue up after the small line. A while later we were brought to the table in the outdoor area.TBH I don't really like the setting there, the outdoor section isn't very Pizza Express.(It is pretty hard to explain, its just my perception of Pizza Express doesnt suit festival walk's kind of outdoor area)

The Menu stand on the table was promoting a new kind of pizza called Leggera Pizza. The picture is appealing with a big tagline of "Lighter Pizza with only 550 Calories!", so we ordered Margherita Leggera and Burschetta al pomodoro as starter.

Burachetta Al Pomodoro
The Burachetta Al Pomodoro dish looks as appealing as its description with a fantastic taste. It is a freahly baked Dough with tomatoes, red onions, basil, garlic and pesto Genovese.

Margharita Leggera
When the pizza is delievered to us, we were shocked by the appearance of the pizza. There was a hole in the middle of the pizza and was replaced by some salad, which explained the drop in calories of the pizza...We kind of have a feeling that we were being deceived as the menu didnt state the reason for the calories lost. Anyhow the pizza still taste good, just if we knew they are cutting a hole and putting salad in it, we wouldn't forgo the lovely cripsy pizza for some stupid calories lost sad

*Update: The pizza menu now states Leggera is a lighter pizza with a hole in the center and some fresh salad in the hole.

hot pizza

The American Chicken pizza is very hot and spicy- good for those with well trained taste buds but watch out if you have children! The almond pie with figs tongue

is quite special, but remember to put your cream cheese on the pie before you eat it, otherwise, it's a bit plain and fatty if you just eat the cream cheese alone after you have finished your almond pie.

Recommended Dish(es): Good pizzas - not too oily, Avocado salad is good and creamy
