We are regular patrons of Pizza Express and typically have a great experience at the Glasgow location. However, our recent visit to the Holyrood branch was marred by terrible service from a rude and obnoxious server. He was impatient and made dramatic gestures for simple requests, displaying a lack of courtesy and professionalism. When he made an error with my coffee, he expected me to accept it without apology.

We just happened upon Pizza Express. Great find! Good options and the service was excellent. Prices were great and the portions more than adequate.

Such poor service. The server was aggressive and rude. I understand they were understaffed, but it's unforgivable to take it out on customers. Supervisor was fu...

Pizza Express in Holyrood has received mixed reviews from customers. Some diners were disappointed with the poor service they received from a particular server, while others enjoyed the delicious food and overall dining experience. The restaurant offers a variety of vegan options and has a separate vegan menu available for those with dietary restrictions. The staff were described as polite and the atmosphere was compared to that of a local restaurant, despite being part of a chain. Overall, the food was praised for being excellent tasting and closer to fine dining than fast food, making it a worthwhile dining option in Edinburgh.
