Pizza Pizza!

Posted on September 30, 2009

A cou­ple of week­ends ago I was invited to Piz­za­Ex­press for a mini blog­ger meet and great.  I packed Squidge up in the car, pro­gramed my Tom­Tom and hit the road.  The meet up was in Pre­ston and we arrived with time to spare.  I strug­gled to find park­ing but finally found some­thing, searched for money for the meter and real­ized I didn’t have any change.  I asked some­one if they had change for a £5, she didn’t but she gave me 50p.  Great! I thanked her and headed to meet the other blog­gers think­ing I had an hour on the meter.  I didn’t, I had 30 min­utes and when I came out to feed the meter a £50 was wait­ing for me– joy!

Ok so back to the rea­son I went to Pre­ston– FREE PIZZA!!! I had only ever been to Piz­za­Ex­press once before, din­ner for a friend who was mov­ing to Wales.  When I arrived Sandy of Baby Baby was already there.  We decided to wait a bit until the oth­ers arrived. Good think too as we didn’t see the wait­ress again for a good 30 min­utes.  Once every­one arrived we caught the wait­resses atten­tion and ordered our meal.  Piz­za­Ex­press has a nice kids menu but I was sur­prised when the meal arrived– very kid unfriendly.  My main gripe was that the drinks were adult sized and in very trendy glass cups.  I was think­ing greasy pizza and tall skinny glass of juice.  I spent a lot of time watch­ing out to make sure she didn’t have an acci­dent.  So now that I have my gripes out of the way I can con­cen­trate on the good bits.  The food was YUMMY!!  I love a good thin crust pizza a Piz­za­Ex­press deliv­ered on that front.  I didn’t try the new Leg­gera just because I don’t eat salad at restau­rants unless its a chicken ceasar salad– I know I’m weird!! I’m usu­ally dis­ap­pointed w/ restau­rant food but I am happy to report that I left very satisfied.

I had a fan­tas­tic time meet­ing the other blog­gers.  Sally from Who’s the Mummy and her daugh­ter Flea and Sandy from Baby Baby and her son Pres­ley are really nice and friendly.  I also met Yummy Mammy who was excited to share her good news– ex-husband had agreed to let her daugh­ter move to Eng­land.  So it was a bit of a cel­e­bra­tion too.

Over­all I enjoyed Piz­za­Ex­press, all they need to do is sort the kids drinks and have more staff on for lunch!  Thanks Sandy for orga­niz­ing it and Piz­za­Ex­press for the fab pizza!
