PizzaExpress

A friend and I were meeting up for lunch at New Town Plaza and since she told me she was going to be a little late, I walked around first to look for a place where we could have a nice and affordable meal. After scanning the menus of restaurants like School Food, Bene and Parkview, I decided that the lunch set menu at Pizza Express looked the best.
Since it was lunchtime, Pizza Express was full (as were most of the restaurants there), so I had to join the others waiting outside and take a number. Our number was about fifteen away from the number it currently was, but surprisingly it didn’t take that long — a little over ten minutes later, I was given a table. My friend still hadn’t arrived, and I was glad when they let me in anyway and didn’t say that the entire party must be present before being given the table.
My friend and I both got the light lunch set, which includes a main and a drink. We decided to get different mains each and share between the two of us, and we mutually agreed on the margherita pizza and the salmon farfalle. For drinks, my friend got the raspberry cooler and I got the lemonade. The drinks arrived almost immediately after we ordered them — my friend’s raspberry cooler was really refreshing and sweet, and my lemonade was super sour! It was definitely the sourest lemonade I’d ever tasted — well, the sourest drink I’d ever had, period! I liked it though, because I really love things that taste sour.
The food didn’t take long to get here. The margherita pizza came in one round piece and we split it in two to share. The pizza was really good — it was a thin-​crust, so it was light, and it was nice and cheesy. The salmon pasta was pretty good too — they were generous enough with the salmon, and the pasta was really creamy.
I was no doubt happy with the food, but not so happy with the portions! The pizza and the pasta were both pretty small, and I was still left feeling a little hungry after it all. I can definitely see myself back here again — and when I am, I’ll be sure to order the executive lunch set, which includes an appetizer!
