PizzaExpress

You'll find PizzaExpress tucked into the High Street action, where it's been a steady presence for families and groups after something warm and filling. The menu sticks to what it does well—thin-crust pizzas with quality ingredients and a decent wine list that won't break the bank. It's the kind of place you pop into on a Saturday night when you want proper Italian pizza without pretension, where the staff know what they're doing and the kitchen moves things along at a decent pace. Nothing revolutionary, but that's rather the point.
