This is a really lovely place to eat some of the best Italian food in Portsmouth. Everything is pretty espensive however the pizza is absolutely brilliant. All of the food is made fresh in an open kitchen, so you can see you own food being made to the highest standard. The staff are all really nice and even the chefs will chat to you if you please. There is really good fast service so they don't keep you waiting for you delicious food.

I love the tasty pizza's they prepare there. The pizza's made pretty quickly and served to you freshly! The prices there are abit pricey, especially the drinks - you only get a 330ml glass for more than 2 thats tight of them. But its worth it after having a great pizza, you feel very full!

This is a really nice pizza express and has incredible views of portsmouth harbour making it perfect for a romantic meal especially when the sun is setting. I definitely recommend it. The food is really good and they have gorgeous thin crust pizzas and one of my favourite dishes is the chicken caesar salad.

Pizza express is always a popular choice, anbd this one is beautifully located by the harbour at Gunwharf Quays. Staff are always smart and polite, it's a fairly large restaurant which is usually always busy so service is expectantly slow.

A nice place to go if you fancy pizza with a bit of style. The food can be a little on the pricey side but its worth it as its yummy and the portions are big. The staff are helpful and the food never takes that long to make.

This restaurant is fantastic! They service is excellent and the food is really good. This particular restaurant has been really useful as it's very close to school and on a number of occasions we have called and pre-ordered pizza's that we can then take out.. The prices are very good for an Italian restaurant, especially with such a high standard of food. The layout is nice and spacious and it is situated right on the harbour which is lovely when you can sit outside in the summer.

I would urge you to visit this particular Pizza Express during the summer as its beautiful waterside location means sitting outside is fab! The food does not differ from any other Pizza Express across the country but it is the food we know and love! Definately recommended.

A great place to eat as the pizza are very good. Prices are not to high so it is available to all for a good meal out. The enviroment is a nice chilled one and the staff seem very friendly. Right outside there is a beautiful view of the mariner as well as the sea. I would advice a must go place.

A lovely pizza express, right on the water next to the spinakker tower aswell. Another great place to go if you're taking a break from shopping, or just for a night out, especially in the summer. I think theres outdoor seating so in the summer its great, to be able to sit and enjoy.

Best place to take a girl on a date. You can get two pizzas and a bottle of wine for 20 quid and the atmospehere in there is awesome. Located by the sea its romantic and sophisticated. Ideal for families, couples and anyone who fancies a quick bite to eat with an italian flavour!

An excellent example of what a pizza restaurant should be like! With excellent service and a very high quality of food this place never leaves anyone feeling up happy. They have a huge range of pizzas and will even make your own custom one for a price there is something for everyone. They have a great array of authentic italian starters as well like garlic dough balls ect.

Very similar to other Pizza Express restaurants. Staff are friendly and service is good. The pizzas are really nice and resonably priced. The main strength of this restaurant is its location, being located on the seafront in gunwharf quays, it boasts a great view. Seating is available outside for when the sun is out. Really Recommend!

Fantastic food - mainly Italien style (Pizza, Pasta and salads) and allways a good atmosphere inside. The staff are allways very friendly and the prices a reasonably cheap. Pizza Express is a perfect place for a night out with a large group of people as they are able to seat large groups, however its also a loverly place to eat out with the family or in small groups. Highly recommended.

By far, my personal favourite restaurant. The service is at very high standards along with the food being very high quality too. They offer many various dishes, all Italian, and you can watch them cook your food as the Chef's section is open across the restaurant. Very modern, fresh feeling look to it too. =]

Reasonable food, good service and plenty of polite and friendly staff. I would recommend booking in advance if you're planning on heading to Pizza Express at the weekend as its a popular eating spot, however, its quick, easy and you can be sure of a decent meal. One thing worth bearing in mind--the pizzas are made in the traditional Italian style (i.e. thin base): if you like your stuffed crusts, or your deep-pans, this isn't really the place for you.

A nice, modern feeling pizza restaurant. This offers very tasty, and rather traditional, pizza styles. They are thin based, as is traditional, but this does mean you can feel rather empty despite having eaten a whole pizza. The pricing is not to bad, and there is a nice, quiet and civilised atmosphere to go with the modern look.

A great modern take on a typical italian restaurant. Pizza being the main attraction, salads and pasta are also available. Service is of high quality and the food is very very well priced. Excellent choice for dinner before a trip to the cinema at gunwharf. The atmostphere is very good too, with a low hub of noise, but not anything uncomfortable. Recommended.

Very good Italian style pizza's. The only problem I had there was that i felt a little crammed as there are a lot of tables in a fairly small space. The customer service was excellent and the food turned out to be delicious so I was by no means unhappy with my visit there.

A lovely restaurant to go to on a summers eve, the food is freshly cooked and always well prepared. The selection of pizza's is vast and caters to all tastes, it even has a small ice crema stand which finishes off a meal nicely. Well worth going to if your thinking of having a birthday meal, especially as the staff are always quick to serve your orders.

It has a bright, fully ventillated interior and the dining area is completely open plan with the bar and open kitchen area at the rear. The plate glass frontage is complemented by a white interior lit with blue lighting and brightened up with huge oil paintings. In the summer, take advantage of 'al fresco' dining overlooking amazing harbour views. AGREE with the person above!
