PizzaExpress Jazz Club

Ended up here last Sunday night as most places were closed or closing. Read reviews here so was amenable to it, and my friend was happy to go. Seated swiftly in beautiful surroundings, love jazz so was ok. Menu was very limited - don't eat meat but love seafood/fish - there was none on the menu. Raised it with the waiter - no options offered.

My 'Padana' a "Rich goat's cheese, spinach and red onion with tangy caramelised onion confit and a drizzle of garlic oil" was anything but. Pizza was soggy with minimal blobs of white (goat's cheese?); this - given I had asked for additional goat's cheese and no mozarella. Spinach was wet and tasteless, and the confit sugary and vile. I didn't even eat 1/4 of it. My friend felt guilty and insisted on paying for the meal. Waiter asked if all was well in a general 'it is my job way', and not that I had barely touched the food.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER AGAIN!

My friends and I have become regular visitors to the Pizza Express Jazz Club after great recommendation from several people. The atmosphere is always great and staff are polite and accommodating. The Dean street branch did have a facelift a few years ago, thanks to a well informed website, michaelvalentinestudio.com, Iwas able to fully see what the club had to offer. I could see from several photographs and reviews that the stage was small, but it did highlight an intimacy which many clubs seem to have lost over the years. We will continue to sing the clubs praises. .

Saw Gilad Atzmon on sat 28th July.

Waitress service was good. They came to take our order really quickly & were very polite.

Only problem we were downstairs and it was far too hot - needed some air-conditioning!

Gilad was superb as ever & it was great to be be sitting so close to him & the band. There was a really good atmosphere - very intimate! And no smoke!!

Will certainly be back to see Gilad again as soon as he plays there next.

We took my stepdaughter to this restaurant for her eighteenth birthday. We asked for a larger-than-usual table because we'd have presents. They gave us a smaller table, but seemed happy to move us to a larger one, then asked us to move again when some regular customers came in and wanted that table, all before we'd really gotten our coats off. My stepdaughter asked to speak to the manager to tell him she was unhappy, and he accused her of being rude and began shouting at her. When I told him why we were leaving he began shouting at me and wouldn't let me ask for his name or complete a sentence. While most Pizza Express restaurants have been terrific, this was a horrible experience, and I couldn't let it pass by. Sure, go to Pizza Express, but don't waste your time on this one.
