I was feeling lazy and decided to order pizza. My pizza standard in general is quite high, but i've learned that in Hong Kong it really shouldn't be. Recently I have been disappointed by Jacomax and Piccolo, so I decided to give Pizza Express a try. Overall, it's pretty good, and I think I might actually order again someday. Price and portion: i did not feel ripped off. I ordered the "Special Set" ($333) which includes "2x pizza or pasta, 1x garlic bread with parmesan and gorgonzola, 1x dough b
Price and portion: i did not feel ripped off. I ordered the "Special Set" ($333) which includes "2x pizza or pasta, 1x garlic bread with parmesan and gorgonzola, 1x dough balls with nutella." that is a lot of food, in my opinion, for the money, and my intention was always to keep the leftovers for the next day. One thing though is that in the special set there is no salad, which I would have preferred to, say, the nutella dough balls (i just don't like sweet/dessert things in general). Some green stuff would have been nice.
Taste: not bad, not bad. the "garlic bread" was nice. the dough was extremely fluffy and the gorgonzola was pungent as it should be. My only gripe is that I really couldn't taste any garlic---just gorgonzola. also, these guys i guess because of how fluffy the dough is don't make great leftovers, as they get stale pretty quick.
the lasagna actually had a decent taste. i didn't really appreciate the obviously burnt top, but that didn't affect the flavor much anyway. the bolognese and bechamel sauces in the lasagna were surprisingly good though. also, it makes great leftovers. now for the pizza: we got the classic margherita pizza, and it was pretty good. the nicest surprise was the sauce, which tasted like a properly made tomato sauce, even if the texture was slightly too smooth. the crust though was underwhelming. i'm really picky about pizza crust. pizza is supposed to be cooked in an insanely hot oven on an insanely hot surface that leaves the crust on the bottom crispy and nearly burnt while the cheese on top melts and the tomato sauce roasts. this strikes me as pizza that was not cooked in an optimally hot oven, and so the crust was kind of soft for my tastes. meh.
also, i ordered one topping, the spicy red peppers. don't do that. they put barely any peppers on top and the topping costs $18. the pizza is fine by itself.
the nutella dough balls were good, though i'm not sure how they could actually be messed up.
overall i think this place is pretty good and we will likely order again the next time we are feeling lazy.
