MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I think I've whinged about the price of that place before but sod it here I go again. Dearest daughter had a small chicken Pizza today and a coke whilst out with her friends. 15 quid she tells me 15 ****ing quid. She needs to be getting a paper round sharpish!
Use Tesco clubcard vouchers
Go somewhere decent?
It's not too difficult to get Pizza Express discount codes.

Another pointless thread from you.
I shall ignore future posts from you - I'll have £15 back for wasting my internet viewing time.
Well it seems a small pizza is about £10 - I doubt a coke is £5. Has she not learnt it's better to order a normal pizza for £10-12 and split it with a friend, that's what mine do.
Otherwise, as above, Tesco vouchers.
fools and their money.. NOBODY pays for food in Pizza express.. check out the wads of tesco vouchers in the tills and check out the kids ordering pizzas to share with tap water.. cmon..
Awaits wrightysons Tesco rant thread
Some tips [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/pizza-express?view=all ]Here [/url] on getting discount.
And tap water instead of coke.
So we've got your daughter's bill down to £6 worth of vouchers. It's like Alvin Hall is amongst us.
I have a tesco credit card as well! Just never thought to arm the daughter with vouchers as I need them for crc (if only).
Pizza was 12 quid apparently. That was pre cinema and shopping. I've spent less this weekend. As for the pointless thread comment, thanks for posting sweetie 😉

Post 3.

Maybe this thread is heading for not-so-pointless after all 😉
Can she afford it? Is she having fun? If the answer to both of those is 'yes' then what's the problem? If the answer to the first is 'no' then you need to offer some parenting and money advice. . If the answer to the second is 'no' then find out what's wrong. Moaning on STW about getting a paper round is unlikely to have any effect on your daughter unless she's a forum member. And then it might not have a positive effect
Have you told your daughter about all this nonsense.
Ahhhh let me guess you'd rather air your frustrations on the net than deal with them in real life situations.

POSTED 6 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST
Why bother then...
Are these down south prices? We went today to the Edinburgh one, £33 for kids pizza, large adult pizza, large salad, drinks, plus friendly waitress who also gave us change for the parking. Seemed very reaonable to me.

Who the **** are you sweet cheeks? It's not frustrations it's just casual chit chat, perhaps you'd know that if you'd been here more than 5 mins. Anyhow crack on with your goading. Just shown the daughter the post and she's right you are a bit of a dick x
Ben, must be order dependant, we were in Sliverburn one yesterday - £62 for a starter the kids shared, 3 pizzas and a salad, plus 4 cokes. Had to wait 45 mins from ordering for food to arrive. Quite a few people walked out before their food arrived. Won't be going back

Tis ok he's new here
Pizza Express' business model is based around discount vouchers being primary marketing activity, and "lost" revenue from vouchers goes against marketing budget.
As a result, full price is a bit high.
Aim of the game, as has been suggested, is getting your daughter into using things like 02 Priority Moments, Vouchercloud etc.
I had a lovely pizza from a street vendor yesterday. Freshly made in front of my eyes in a wood fired oven. It was delicious and £5.
Hmm. Pavement pizza
Erm, I had three courses and a beer there last week for £17... I think they saw her and her mates coming!
Discounts plenty, and the pizzas are pretty good. For a sit down job, decent grub, okay atmosphere, drink inc booze available, it's not bad.
Unlike Five Guys. Hipster fancy burgers served up in an environment no better than MuckyD/BK served in a foil wrap because that's cool right. £15 for cheeseburger, fries and a coke. Screw that. I'd rather spend the same at a gastro pub and get a beer with it for same price. Okay it's still served poncy on a chopping board, but the atmosphere is better and they have beer. Better still, a traditional pub with real ales, ordinary grub on ordinary plates and no pretence.
15 quid she tells me 15 **** quid. She needs to be getting a paper round sharpish!
When we were kids the best you could hope for was a take away pizza and a can of coke in the park/bench. It's probably on a par with going to the cinema/hr

Agreed. Send her for gammon egg and chips and a pint of mild. Pizza, schmizza...
When I were a lad they imported food to pub from chippy in one big order wi' numbers on wrappers.
Actually we were drinking at 15 in the local. On first (nervous) visit the landlady invited us to the 'Sunday afternoon strip show' and roast dinner. Even though I was at that curious age I still sensed something incongruous and so chose a different local that did pies and had a jukebox which played (among other things) Hawkwind's 'Angels of Light'. None of those ruddy dumbphones neither. We did this thing called 'having a laugh' and 'what's the scam?' <----- prompt for impromptu high jinks about the immediate locale.
15 quid
<nods> 😉she [b]tells[/b] me
I don't like the pizza there, think its something they put in the tomato sauce. That and the only beer they have is Peroni and its 6 f^&£ quid a bottle!
Yes been there done that. I remember when my three where old enough to eat adult amounts of food, bill was eyewatering for an ok pizza from a chain restaurant 😯

Restaurants usually put the prices on their menus.
Student discount?
Dough balls mmmm!
I like 'em. Pretty decent pizza for a chain and their allergy handling is second to none ime, that's always a good sign. TBH I think if they had a ****y italian name people'd be happy to pay more.
Get yourself an nus card . 40% off food and drink on a Monday or Tuesday.
Otherwise agreed it is far too expensive and menu is pretty limited..
Awaits wrightysons Tesco rant thread
I tried haggling the other day. I figured I always haggle my LBS, so why not Tesco?

Like my LBS I figured I could get a discount at Tesco by bringing in cake.
They told me they already had plenty of cake.
🙁
I reckon Pizza Express is by far the best of all the restaurant chains, probably eat there once a month, sometimes more...
Did she show you the receipt?
That's a helluva a lotta diamond white down the park 😆

It's perfectly fine, but this is STW. So unless the pizza oven is built in front of them using artisanal tools, then it's just inedible crap.
yeah the price of beer in those places is always a killer, £5-£6 for a 330ml bottle of peroni or even worse *shudder* a 250ml bottle. yup Tap water with ice all the way.

Never been, and this thread has probably put pay to my ever going.
(Just muttered 'cool story bro' - to self, in response to own comment. Time for a holiday...)

£3.95 at the one near me... but don't ley the facts get in the way of a good story 😉

MrsMomo and I went to our local one last Thursday for some pre-gig food and drink, used a 3 courses for £12.95 voucher and turned £6 of tesco clubcard points into a £24 voucher, alright, spent £18 on a bottle of wine, but 3 courses and a bottle of wine for £20 isn't too bad in my book.
MrsMomo also states that they have far and away the best gluten free pizzas of all the chains and dough balls of all the chains.

£4.25 in that London as well, so jekkyl must be dining in some sort of VIP secret Pizza Express?
That was pre cinema and shopping.
Then I suspect the £15 spend at the pizza place paled into insignificance!
I'm a bit of a hipster foodie ****er and will usually quite happily eat in Pizza Express - their pizzas are actually pretty damn good.
Project Pie in Dundee best High St Pizza ever.

The problem is that it's in Dundee: not great if you live in the south of England, which is littered with high st. Pizza Expresses (Expressi?)

Surely that's where Deliveroo step in....

lol, I meant pseudo posh wannabe type restaurants in general not just pizza express, however 4 quid isn't much better.
momo - MemberMrsMomo also states that they have far and away the best gluten free pizzas of all the chains and dough balls of all the chains.
Better than most proper restaurants tbh.Pizza Hut's is actually a really good effort, it's just that it's a really good gluten free Pizza Hut pizza, with all the same character as a normal pizza hut pizza. Good or bad...
If I had ever eaten out with my mates at my dads expense i'd have doubled the bill too.
....and menu is pretty limited..
Well, they sort of do pizzas. If you're not into that, probably best if you go somewhere else....
Our town in London suburbia has a Pizza Express and Ask Italian opposite each other. They're both by the same company (well they were anyway)
My 4 year old son's favourite restaurant is Ask, what have we done? 🙄
lol, I meant pseudo posh wannabe type restaurants in general not just pizza express, however 4 quid isn't much better.
I hate myself for saying it, but £4 for a 330ml bottle of Peroni* in central London is *shudders* quite reasonable.
*Which isn't even that nice.
...at the risk of sounding like a broken record, it's also cool that they carry gluten free beer, and do more of a range of deserts than most. Makes no difference to most people but it's real attention to detail and willingness to go further and I reckon that reflects well outwith the funny diet stuff. Mostly we get to the desert and it's, oh well, guess I'll have an ice cream.
(Greens pilsner btw; not bad at all.)
Tesco vouchers.
Many of vegetarian options.
Very predictable portion sizes and published nutritional values for my diabetic daughter.
Loads of branches.
No nuggets of poo in their ice according to that recent investigation.
God bless Pizza Express and all those who [s]sail[/s] eat in her.
If I go to the British Museum, I'll go the the Pizza Express in Coptic Street. I always get a big 'za usually an Americana Hot, and I'm pretty sure I've never paid £15 for one even without Tesco vouchers.
Thought so, less than twelve quid. And I expect to pay more to sit in a nice room, with service, rather than grab a couple of slices from a street vendor and try to find somewhere to sit and eat it while trying to juggle the 'za and a bottle of drink.
I always get a big 'za
A what now?
trying to juggle the 'za
Oh sweet baby Jesus....
