Pizza Express

Pizza Express on London Road has long been a familiar and welcome presence in Southend-On-Sea, offering the reliable, quality pizza that has made the chain a household name. This particular branch holds a solid 4.4/5 from over a thousand Google reviews, and its kitchen earned a perfect 5 (Very Good) Food Hygiene Rating during an inspection in April 2025. It’s the kind of place where you know exactly what you’re getting — well-made, consistently good Italian-inspired fare — and that’s precisely why locals and visitors alike keep coming back.

The menu here is built around their signature dough, stretched thin and fired to order, whether you’re after a classic Margherita or something with a bit more personality like the Padana with goat’s cheese and caramelised onion. Beyond pizzas, you’ll find pasta, salads, and the ever-popular dough balls with garlic butter — perfect for sharing. It’s a reliable choice for a sit-down meal or a collection order when you want something that feels a cut above the standard takeaway. Pizza Express delivers across Southend, so you can enjoy that characteristic charred crust without leaving the house.
