Pizza Express - Dulwich Village (what's it like?)

It's a fairly standard Pizza Express. There's not an awful lot to say. If you want child-free then avoid it on weekends. If you want to take the kids, get there early (I think they open at noon) otherwise the high chairs will all be taken.

It's certainly the best restaurant the Village has to offer - shamefully


Pizza Express can really hit a spot an one of the best evenings I had with Lady Mac was in this very one


But whilst it may be sound advice to the child-averse to avoid weekend daytimes, take it from me, week days are no guarantee. The single most hellish experience ever was on a cold winter's day off with a mate - we went in and it was a scene worse than Mrs Doubtfire. It looked as if every au pair and yummy mummy was in the place with minimum 3 kids each... That was 5 years ago and I still haven't recovered

"On the few times I have been there I have found it extremely off puttingly noisy."


I agree. I've eaten in lots of PEs over the years, but this is the one I've never been tempted to go back to due to the horrendous and annoying noise from children. I've never experienced it to such an extent in any other PE, but I guess its location makes it very family orientated, and I think it was early on a Sunday evening when I went.


My advice is to take ear plugs, just in case.

    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
    • I did see a few Victoria bound 185's on East Dulwich road around 5pm this evening. Coming from the Rye end and heading toward Goose green
