01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

PizzaExpress at 3 London St, Chertsey offers a quintessentially Italian dining experience that’s hard to beat for pizza enthusiasts and lovers of classic Italian fare. Specializing in vibrant, artisan pizzas crafted with passion and impeccable technique, this restaurant invites guests to indulge in a menu that bursts with authentic flavors and carefully sourced ingredients.

Begin your meal with tempting starters like the Marinated Green Olives, infused with pink peppercorns and sweet garlic cloves that awaken your palate instantly, or savor the Slow-Roasted Tomatoes, marinated in garlic and oregano, delivering an aromatic, concentrated depth of flavor. Not to be missed are the freshly baked Dough Balls “PizzaExpress” slathered in luscious garlic butter, or their cheese-loaded Dough Balls Al Forno – a deliciously melty blend of mozzarella and Cheddar that perfectly teases your taste buds, especially if you're craving that divine, golden crusty cheese pull.

The mains at PizzaExpress are a testimony to creativity paired with comfort. From the Duo Romana, a clever combination of two beloved classic or Romana-style recipes on a single base, to the soulful ‘Marry Me’ Chicken – a dish that truly lives up to its name, boasting a creamy béchamel infused with basil and sundried tomato & pine kernel pesto, topped with tender chicken, spinach, and finished with an extra sprinkle of pesto, slow-roasted tomatoes, and Gran Milano cheese. Not forgetting the Peach & Parma Hot, which intrigues the palate with its juxtaposition of sweet and savory.

Complement your meal with a sophisticated choice from their drinks menu — consider the Margarita Patron Silver, which layers a zesty lime and blood orange flavor with a hint of salt for a truly festive experience, or the Soho Spritz and Peachcello Spritz that bring a refreshing and elegant Italian aperitivo vibe right to your table.

Visitors frequently praise the warm, inviting atmosphere of this PizzaExpress branch. The lighting creates a relaxed yet engaging setting, perfect for casual lunches or intimate dinners. The service is consistently highlighted as attentive and friendly, with staff like Daria and Geordie making customers feel genuinely cared for, enhancing the overall dining enjoyment.

While some diners mention pricing on the higher side, the quality of ingredients, generous portions, and thoughtful presentation justify the experience. The carefully curated menu and the vibrant flavors make each visit to PizzaExpress more than just a meal — it's a comforting, delicious journey through Italian classics served with contemporary flair.

If you’re in Chertsey and craving an authentic taste of Italy coupled with a delightful ambiance, PizzaExpress invites you to savor their passionate pizza craft alongside warm hospitality that truly makes you feel at home.

When you have pizza express you know what you’re getting. I went for an American in the Romana style (larger and flatter). It was very tasty, pepperoni was cooked well and none of it was burnt. Service was polite and efficient albeit there were only two customers in for lunch. Which brings me on to my last issue which is the pricing. It’s too expensive. My pizza was £15 (my colleague paid as it was my birthday) but I feel like if they did a lunch time deal for £6 they would sell a load more. Would go again if in Chertsey due to limited choice but in London you can get pizza as good elsewhere for much cheaper.

My Husband and I visited today to chaperone my daughter and her boyfriend (as they're only 11) for their valentines day meal. It was one of the best visits we've ever had at a Pizza Express! Not only was the food exceptional the service really made the whole visit. Our server Daria was absolutely amazing! She was so happy, attentive, knowledgeable of the menu and app and she was also great with the children, she deserves a pay rise!!!

Really relaxed and enjoyable dining experience at this branch. Was inviting, well lit and had a great atmosphere. Teen accomplice described it as "bougie". Both had dough balls to start: American hot and Al Forno. Both were delicious, especially the Al Forno if you like cheese. Mains were a Grand chicken Caesar salad and a La Reine pizza. Both were served in a timely manner after the starter plates were cleared away. Both were enjoyable and the portion size was good with no excessive leftovers. Dessert was a Sicilian roulade which was good. Service was excellent, would love to name the young lady who served us but sadly no name badge. Well done, Chertsey branch.

I can’t thank you enough for supporting The Eikon Charity event this week. The support was incredible and your staff were so friendly. It contributed greatly to the day’s success. Because of you, we will be able to support more children, young people and families in Surrey. Thank you so much!

We attended for lunch as a team of NHS staff celebrating a colleague’s retirement. There were 26 of us in our party and what made it stand out were the staff who were nothing short of exceptional. Everything ran so smoothly and a special mention must go to Kim and Geordie, who were brilliant hosts. Kim was so calm and kind (and put me at ease when it came to arranging the bill!) and Geordie was so accommodating and provided attentive and friendly service. I even got chatting to Carlos and Jacky, who were quite simply the best chefs ever! They were smiley, welcoming and fantastic. The food was gorgeous and all came out together. We had no complaints at all and everything was so well organised. Prior to coming, I had reached out to the restaurant and we completed pre-orders. James the manager was so helpful in helping with this. We are so grateful for such a brilliant experience!
