  2. Arrabbiata con bocconcini pasta Net +1
    “This PizzaExpress location has always been a favourite! The ambience here is truly wonderful and well-maintained! Most recently I tried the Porcini & Truffle Pizza, it was quite good and truffle lovers should try this. The Arrabbiata con Bocconcini pasta was lovely with a creamy tomato sauce! Although it wasn't garnished generously, the Potato Dippers were tasty! Finally and for the very first time, we tried the PizzaExpress Punch. I must say it was truly fantastic, refreshing and quite healthy with all the chopped veggies! A huge shoutout to our server in the most recent visit, Mr. Bir. In my countless visits to this branch, he has been the best server! Mr. Bir was extremely friendly, helpful, welcoming and pleasant!”

    “Was craving for some Italian food and saw this place and went in to try. Ambience was cozy and it was almost empty. We ordered for pesto pasta, dough balls in honey hot garlic sauce, Mango yuzu highballs and honey comb cheesecake for desert. Only delicious tasting dish was dough balls. It was yum. And cheesecake was good. Pasta was literally bland no flavor at all. Drink looks fancy but it’s just soda water. There was no mango flavor in mango drink. Service was real let down. Staffs are not attentive. We had to ask them to serve the pasta and the guy spilled the hot sauce on me. I understand it happens but he was not even apologetic about it. Dishes r very expensive but it’s not worth the money we pay.”

The Bottom Line

PizzaExpress in Trade Centre is a dependable choice when you want thin-crust pizza, pasta or a casual meal with friends and family. The reviews give particular attention to the Giardinieria pizza, Porcini & Truffle dishes, chicken wings and dough balls, while gluten-free and vegan pizza make the menu more accommodating for dietary needs. The setting is relaxed but not one-note.

Indoor seating is described as calmer and more intimate, while outdoor tables bring a livelier World Trade Centre atmosphere. Other practical positives include street-level wheelchair access and reports of ample, easy evening parking. The branch suits both a quick bite and a longer catch-up.

Timing matters here. It can be quiet on a weekday afternoon or on a Saturday without an event, but exhibition periods can make tables difficult to find and slow down ordering. Portions may also be larger than expected, so pace your order if dessert is part of the plan.

Value is the main reservation: some diners considered the food pricey for the quantity, and one visit found the pesto pasta bland. Dish-to-dish consistency may therefore matter more than the generally strong pizza feedback. Birthday promotions have included a complimentary cake and 25% off, though current terms should be checked before visiting.
