Pizza Express

I decided to slum it last night and took the wife to Pizza Express.
Its been a few years since I last went and the food seems to have gone downhill since the last time I visited. The dough balls weren't as tasty and everything just tasted a bit more "mass market produced"

They've got 320 stores. So go figure.......

There’s a whole generation who has never known home cooking and never known any other meal other than from a supermarket packet or packaged food cooked in a restaurant.

I ate once at Pizza Express and found it overpriced Kr4p.

I've moved on to 'Nando's' for my upmarket fast food restaurant chain of choice, if there is no choice that is.

Is London still full of 'Aberdeen' steak houses? It used to be that you couldn't go anywhere in central London where there wasn't one within sight.

My youngest was let loose in a Pizza Express kitchen only a couple of days ago along with the rest of the 3 year olds in the nursery school as part of a "get them hooked young" course.

If it was the same branch then I expect you got a liberal dose of snot mixed in with the dough balls, and I do hope you didn't have any olives.

And for these reasons I no long go to these type of food outlets that have family type self service buffets. I felt sick when I was in a London department store having lunch while nose picking kinds have free roaming around the buffet while stuffing their fingers in the trifle, spaghetti, and condiments, no doubt without washing their hand afer having a krap.

zizzi is a decent chain...

Confessions working in a restaurant in my student days.


Used customers’ milk shakes a gargle.
Combed hair over food before serving.
Stood on block of cheese to reach window.
Made plates super hot for customer who complained. Put plate on table but just far away enough so they had to move it.
Left dead mouse in toaster for duration of summer.
Always a sip of customer drinks before serving.
