PizzaExpress

You'll find this PizzaExpress tucked into Cavendish Arcade, right in the thick of Buxton's shopping district where the real life happens. It's the kind of place where you can grab a proper Romana pizza without pretension—whether you're ducking in after browsing the shops or meeting friends for a casual Friday night. The menu sticks to what it does well: wood-fired pizzas with decent toppings, pastas that won't disappoint, and enough wine by the glass to make an afternoon of it. It's busy enough to feel like somewhere people actually want to be, but relaxed enough that you're not felt rushed through your meal.
