Pizza Express have a good number of locations in and around Manchester city centre, this one might…read morenot be my favourite location they have in town, but it's certainly a good option.
They're located in the outdoor Hanging Ditch area of the Corn Exchange, so you must go through their entrance and can't access the restaurant directly from within the Corn Exchange. There is a large step to enter, and then a set of stairs so it isn't the most disabled-friendly location, there is a lift though if you require it.
I've dined in multiple times during the years, but more recently I've used their offering on Uber Eats, to make use of my Uber ONE membership and ongoing promotions I've had on my account.
On my most recent two visits, I ordered their Winter Bundle, which consists of a portion of dough balls and a pizza, opting for the gluten-free dough balls and gluten-free Double American Pizza, which is a delivery-exclusive pizza from their most recent menu update which is their regular American pizza, but with double the pepperoni and cheese.
My pizza was really tasty, it packed a punch in terms of flavour, while the dough balls were just ordinary and would have been inedible without a generous dollop of garlic butter.
On both occasions, the food was delivered very quickly and arrived piping hot, credit should go to both their delivery partner as well as Pizza Express for packaging the food well, although putting a few napkins in the bag would be helpful!
The staff seem friendly when dining in the restaurant, again this is common with Pizza Express.
PRO TIP: Be sure to take advantage of their Pizza Express Club loyalty scheme on their app, after just a couple of visits you can get a bunch of freebies to make your trip more affordable. Without these offers, it can be a little pricey however once you unlock the gold tier you're able to get bonuses such as a free soft drink, bottled water, dough balls, coffee and Dolcetti and the list continues.
4* - Pizza Express generally has a VERY good standard across all their locations in Manchester city centre, so any regional manager they do have certainly is doing a good job here and this branch is another example of that.
