PizzaExpress

You'll find this PizzaExpress tucked into Harborne High Street, right where the neighbourhood's independent shops and local haunts cluster together. It's the sort of place where you can pitch up for a casual dinner without pretence — families with kids, couples after something straightforward, groups of mates grabbing a bite before drinks elsewhere. The pizzas come out properly charred with that wood-fired flavour, and they've got the usual Italian spreads (pastas, salads, that sort of thing) if pizza isn't your thing. Harborne's got enough going on round about that you could easily make an evening of it here and then wander round the neighbourhood.
