Pizza Express - Rayleigh

A good and relaxed place to meet and eat with friends. Friendly and helpful staff although I think it's a bit pricey for what is on the menu. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We order bruchette and was told there did not have any, order coleslaw and again told us tgere did not have any and also told us other food not available, we had two cappuccino and I can say not that good very cold and very poor, service ok, been here loads of time before but this is the worst for the food would give them 4 out 10 for food and 9 out of 10 for service. Would I come back here again I would to see if the food better,

I came here with a group of friends for a friends birthday we wont be returning. There was no Ice for the Drinks Half the starters, mains desserts were not available Three of us ordered Pasta dishes the waitress came back a while later saying they couldnt cook them yet as there was currently no Pasta dishes. They ran out of wine glasses glasses for spirits. Two ordered Sundaes but when they came out we were told they had no Sundae Glasses, so one was put in a normal ice cream glass the other a coffee glass. The waitress tried to make up for it by topping it up but unfortunately the ice cream was just melting running down everywhere. A friend ordered 2 small wines was charged for mediums, when queried on paying was told you don't do small even though its on your menu as they are to small. How can a restaurant get it so wrong run like that on a Saturday night when it wasn't even full. We felt for the young waitress who did her best to make up for the utter shambles of the way this restaurant is run. Where was the Manager making sure they everything in order?

Went here with family but I was disapointed. The staff were ok and our waitress was attentive and helpful. However the food for me was not great. The starter ordered was: Juicy butterflied king prawns, garlic butter, tomatoes, roasted peppers and chilli flakes with fresh tomatoes, red onion and parsley, served with Dough Balls. Firstly the prawns were not butterfly just standard prawns. The were Luke warm with cold tomato on top. I asked if they were supposed to be hot and was told yes and they took them away to heat up. When they returned they were still only a little warmer but not hot. Also there was zero chili in the dish. I wasn’t expecting it to be really spicy but there was absolutely nothing. The main pizza also arrived Luke warm and some areas actually cold. No idea how a pizza can be cooked fresh and served at a table so cold. Unacceptable and I would not return.

Visited for a quick main course before meeting friends for drinks elsewhere. Service was ok, but pizzas were really small for the price (circa £14-£15 for the classic ones). Not much topping either. 2 pizzas, and two drinks (a large bottle of beer and a Vodka and Diet Coke £45! Won’t be going back! Prezzos in town much better value
