Pizza Express - My first and only visit

Postby Richard » Sun Mar 25, 2012 9:11 pm

Hi there !!
Extra charges from GBP8.90p to GBP10.15 p for a Pizza
I visited with a friend for the 1'st time and ordered two "Fiorentino" pizza's after looking at the menu briefly.
After placing our order the waiter asked if we would like a different version called "Romano" - we asked the difference - he said they were exactly the same pizza except with a thinner base which was more crispy than the "Fiorentino"
We chose the thinner "Romano"
On asking for the bill we were surprised to be charged GBP1.25p extra each pizza and asked why.
Then we were told as it was thinner it must be bigger and therefore contained more topping.
I was not happy and returned later to ask the manager why the price was more and we were not informed of this extra charge by the waiter.
He said the extra price was itemised at the bottom of the menu - I said it was not pointed out to me and I did not go looking for all the extra charges as i did not expect one and if that was the case I wouldn't be visiting the restaurant again as I felt this was not good practise.
I said I would complain online
The manager just looked at me and said nothing !!

:erm:
