seanmlow Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Has anyone been? I know PE are a chain but was interested to know what this one was like. I love Dulwich village and want an excuse to go back!

Ant Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 It's a fairly standard Pizza Express. There's not an awful lot to say. If you want child-free then avoid it on weekends. If you want to take the kids, get there early (I think they open at noon) otherwise the high chairs will all be taken.

scotslass Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 The great thing about this PE is that the waiters are Italian and full of character!

Jah Lush Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 It's just like any other Pizza Express only it's in the Village, which is a very nice place to be. Best to go in the evening to avoid the tiny tots.

seanmlow Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yeah I thought it looked like a nice place to have nice meal and polish it off with a few pints in the pub opposite!

Brendan Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I find most pizza expresses have those loud, echoy acoustics. They do serve a purpose though. i.e. When you are out in town, need a drunken feed and the girls you are with wont stoop to Burger King.

jimbo1964 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 It's quite small for a PE but the staff are very friendly and pizzas as good as any other branch. My tummy is rumbling at the thought.

SeanMacGabhann Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 It's certainly the best restaurant the Village has to offer - shamefullyPizza Express can really hit a spot an one of the best evenings I had with Lady Mac was in this very oneBut whilst it may be sound advice to the child-averse to avoid weekend daytimes, take it from me, week days are no guarantee. The single most hellish experience ever was on a cold winter's day off with a mate - we went in and it was a scene worse than Mrs Doubtfire. It looked as if every au pair and yummy mummy was in the place with minimum 3 kids each... That was 5 years ago and I still haven't recovered Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2316-pizza-express-dulwich-village-whats-it-like/#findComment-67472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asset Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 It is full of kids at most times.I like it, waiters are nice and the food as someone else said, is as good as any other PE if not better.All PEs are noisy, the sound resounds off the marble tables something awful.

Frisco Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 "On the few times I have been there I have found it extremely off puttingly noisy."I agree. I've eaten in lots of PEs over the years, but this is the one I've never been tempted to go back to due to the horrendous and annoying noise from children. I've never experienced it to such an extent in any other PE, but I guess its location makes it very family orientated, and I think it was early on a Sunday evening when I went.My advice is to take ear plugs, just in case.

fluffy Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I must admit Pizza Express is usually a little cringe-worthy and the food a bit predictable, but then the village isn't really my thing. Think I'll nip down to the co-op....
