Reviews praise PizzaExpress Winchester’s pizzas, pastas and view, but note inconsistent cleanliness, variable service and accessibility challenges.
I really love that restaurant! My boyfriend and I stopped by Pizza Express Winchester while on our holiday trip.
I had a great time at this restaurant, the pizzas were delicious and the pasta was also very good! :)
This Pizza Express restaurant is located near the River Itchen and offers a great view from the top floor where you can see almost everything. It is a really nice place to dine.
I find it’s always a bit ‘hit and miss’ with pizza express. Some are excellent and others, like this one, could do with a bit of ‘love’ ie a good clean unless they are going for a ‘rustic’ vibe!! Just felt a bit grubby with tacky tables and staff sitting around chatting!! Maybe it was the time of day we visited somewhere between lunch and dinner, it was quiet so you’d expect things to be clean and tidy though the service was friendly and quick. Pizza quality good and nice location.
I love pizza express, but this one has made me seriously think if I wish to visit again. We had a variety of servers, my partner in crime has a Gluten intolerance and this caused a few issues. First server told us no problem with order, then next server says can't order that pizza if want gluten. So need to order again, including me, even though I'm having the same. Then different server has to bring my friends drink, because I stated she still hadn't received it. We both ordered a Leggera to begin with, which has salad in the middle (I'm sure before it had more than just salad leaves). Why my friend couldn't have this is strange, only difference with normal pizza is middle has been cut out. Anyhow I digress. Pizza arrives and mine looks messy, salad leaves outside the hole in the middle and some of the dressing is on the pizza very slap dash. My friends pizza had far too much sauce for the base, infact that was mainly what it was and she wasn't very happy if I'm honest. We ordered coffees with small dessert, run out of what my friend wanted (not a happy bunny by now and just wants to leave). My coffee was nice but my friend left most of hers as not happy and the staff just didn't seem to care. The service over all left a lot to be desired, we will definitely not be back.

This Bridge Street outlet is a popular pit stop after riverside and meadow walks — but regulars quietly tip that the best chance of a great evening is to request a top-floor riverside table and to double-check gluten-free orders on arrival; the branch has had occasional stock shortages and service variability that can be smoothed with a quick heads-up to staff.
