Been a few times now. Dough balls are very good in both gluten and non-gluten varieties. Gluten free pizza passed the test. Wish my thin pizza was a bit more crispy. Old church is a neat environment.

Mixed feelings. I visited last night, choosing this branch based on great past experiences with gluten-free pizzas at other PE locations. The food here was just as tasty—no complaints there! Unfortunately, something went wrong, and I ended up unwell due to gluten contamination. I hadn’t initially paid attention to the prep area, but later noticed shared utensils and what looked like the same oven being used. If you’re coeliac, I wouldn’t recommend this branch due to cross-contamination risks. I’d love to return because the food was genuinely good, but only if there’s greater awareness and care around what “gluten-free” truly means—especially for those of us who rely on more than just a label in the menu.

Set inside an old church in Morningside, this Pizza Express has a truly unique look and feel. It's spacious and light and there's a real feeling of grandeur when you enter. The central focus point is a beautiful old church organ, under which the kitchen lies. My wife and I popped along for the first time in years to try their new gluten-free pizza (American hot for me) and dough balls, and we were not disappointed. The staff were efficient and friendly and took the gluten-free request seriously, which was reassuring. The only issue we had was that despite the restaurant being pretty empty (it was 5pm on a Wednesday), a father arrived with a crying toddler and was plonked right next to us, completely ruining the ambience. Not sure why they felt the need to do that when there were so many tables available. Will probably go a bit later in future to avoid that scenario, or just ask the staff in advance for a quiet spot I suppose! Anyway, it was a good overall experience and we look forward to going again.

I like pizza express in Morningside mainly because the sell gluten free pizza as well as normal pizza but I don't think the customer service is very good. This is ultimately a fast food restaurant that isn't fast. If they want to justify the prices, I would suggest much better customer service. We sat and waited for around 15 minutes after we had finished eating before the bill was brought, and when it was, it was laid on our table. We then waited a further 15 minutes and no one offered to take payment so I had to walk toward the till and stand and wait while my family waited outside for me. The gluten free pizzas are nice enough but when your 12 year old son has a pizza twice the size of yours it's tells a tale about the size of the GF variety. Supposedly made in their factory, then why so small? Overall 7/10 for service 7/10 for food. Would be higher for food if I was eating the non GF variety.

Best pizza EVER! Great desserts, great atmosphere and great service. A huge plus for one member of our group was the abundance of gluten free choices.

Gluten free menu which is good but food always gets cold quickly. Booked on line but seems their system not up to it, on arrival was advised in an unprofessional manner that I did not have a booking.

Lovely old building converted to a restaurant. Attentive and friendly staff, excellent selection of pizza. They also do a gluten free pizza base which was very nice. If you plan to visit midweek look online for a voucher/discount.

They need to change their name because it sounds like a fast food joint but it's actually really nice. Excellent variety of tasty pizzas and gluten free available on almost everything.
