PizzaExpress

You know where you stand with PizzaExpress—it's not trying to reinvent the wheel, and that's precisely why locals keep coming back. Tucked into the Coinage Hall, a proper bit of Truro heritage on Boscawen Street, you're eating in a space with actual character, all Georgian bones and period details. The pizzas are consistently decent; they've got their formula down to a fine art, and at these prices (£), it's hard to grumble when you're getting something that actually tastes like it's been made with care. It's the sort of place you'll find families mid-week, couples grabbing a casual bite before heading up to the cinema, groups of mates who can't be bothered with the faff of somewhere pretentious. Nothing flashy, everything works.
