What to Eat at PizzaExpress, DWTC How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For PizzaExpress, DWTC, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
These items at PizzaExpress, DWTC got the most positive mentions in user reviews. Check them out!

“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!”December 2024

Dough balls in honey hot garlic sauce Net +1
“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.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Choose timing. Go on a quieter weekday or outside exhibition periods; reviews describe long waits and scarce tables when the venue is busy.
Check options. Ask about gluten-free or vegan pizza if you need dietary flexibility; both were specifically praised by a reviewer.
Plan parking. If you are driving, evening visits may be easier for parking around the World Trade Centre area.
Order carefully. Portions can be large, so avoid over-ordering if you want room for several dishes or dessert.
Ask promotions. If you are celebrating a birthday, ask what current offers apply; one first-time diner received cake and 25% off.

Common Concerns
Value concerns
Several reviews feel the food is expensive for the quantity served, with one calling the portions small and pricey.
Busy periods
Afternoons and exhibition periods can bring long waits for orders or make getting a table difficult.
Exhibition crowds
The branch can be quiet without events but almost impossible to access during a busy exhibition.
Uneven pasta
One visit found the pesto pasta bland, showing that the experience may vary by dish.

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.
