Pizza Express - Tonbridge

Beautiful decor and friendly staff, airy and stylish as usual with pizza express. vegans are good for regarding the net, although the vegan cheese is not to my taste it is nice to see it as an option. dessert is much more limited.

First visit to the Tonbridge restaurant. Lots of positives. Menu for the grandchildren was excellent at a very good price, £7.95. Service was good and very friendly. Food excellent. Only one big but, which was the price of one piece of garlic bread. £5.65. Seriously??

To begin with, the staff were extremely attentive and seated us promptly. Our drinks arrived promptly as well, despite them running out of Sauvignon Blanc. The pizzas were slightly smaller than usual, with delicious toppings, though the dough had a crispy bottom and a soft middle base. The rocket salad was disappointing, as it only had grated Parmesan instead of flakes.

I feel like they are starting to skimp on portions. I ordered a chicken pizza for £15 and it only had six pieces of chicken on it. The restaurant still has its bold color scheme, but I suspect that someone in charge is now being stingy with the ingredients. It's disappointing because the atmosphere is nice and the staff are great. However, it's disheartening to sit there and count how few chicken pieces are on your pizza, unable to believe that the chef would be so ungenerous.

I am a fan of Pizza Express, but I did not enjoy the food at this particular restaurant. The kitchen and toilets were also dirty, which was disappointing and unexpected.
