I was working in Bristol. There are no street food markets in Bristol on a Monday (well there is St Nick’s), however no Temple Quay or Finzel Reach. I headed into the centre. I did think about going to Côte as they had a E10 deal for steak and frites. I also considered going to The Real Greek; however, they didn’t have a lunch deal. In the end I went to Pizza Express which had a power lunch deal for E10 of a main course and a drink. In order to get the deal you need the app, and I had the app.
I was given a warm welcome and took a seat at a table. They have a special menu for the power lunch, you can have a choice of pizza, not the full range, but there are some classics in there, as well as the leggera version with the salad in the middle. There are also three different salads on the menu as well. Vegan and gluten free options are available too. The drinks are in the main the fizzy variety, but there is a Sicilian still lemonade and you can always have a coffee.
I ordered the classic Fiorentina and a diet coke. It wasn’t long before my pizza arrived, freshly cooked to order.
This is the one with the ‘egg and spinach’, plus mozzarella, tomato, Gran Milano cheese, black olives and garlic oil. My egg was a little overcooked for my liking, I prefer a runny yolk, However, apart from that this pizza was delicious. The combination of spinach, tomato and cheese with the addition of black olives and the egg make a delicious vegetarian pizza. The base was excellent with a crisp crust and soft in the middle.
It has been a while since I have had a pizza from Pizza Express and this one I really enjoyed.
