First look at Pizza Express's refurbed restaurant on Bristol Harbourside

Pizza Express's Bristol Harbourside restaurant has undergone a full refurb and is welcoming customers back through its doors to grab their most loved pizzas with a brand-new look.

The restaurant chain says the refresh "brings the flavour and passion of Italian dining culture to the city", inspired by the original vision of founder, the late Peter Boizot, who first introduced the taste of Pizza Express pizza to the UK in 1965.

The brand was one of the first to adopt open kitchens showcasing the pizza expertise of its pizzaiolos, a format now seen across the country.

Pizza Express has over 360 pizzerias in the UK and Ireland and sells over 30 million pizzas in UK supermarkets every year.

The pizzeria will offer a wide range of dishes from the Piccolo menu for children to numerous vegan options and comes complete with a "vibrant setting for all the family to enjoy".

At the heart of the restaurant is the open kitchen, Pizza Express describe it as the stage from which expert pizzaiolos showcase their talent and love for pizza making. "As much of a feast for the eyes as for the belly, diners will delight as they bring the theatre and authenticity of the craft to the fore," said a spokesperson.

With, the kitchen at the heart of the pizzeria, customers can watch our talented pizzaiolos freshly handmake their order and we can’t wait to see the look on their faces when they visit.”
