While at work, a coworker wanted to order pizza for our dinner. The four of us were all game and wanted something other than Pizza Hut (because Pizza Hut ... so bad). PHD no longer delivered to Happy Valley, so we decided on Pizza Express. When we called them, they informed us (in a not so helpful manner) that they only do deliveries through the online dining platform app. Only. We're hungry hospital professionals. We only wanted pizza. What were we to do? Download the app. What happened next
I've been to Slices before. Boyfriend had arranged takeaway there when I had my birthday at an art jam nearby and we've eaten there on occassion. So, I told my coworkers ... it's pretty decent.
We ordered a half and half pizza of deluxe and meat lovers ($195 for a 14 inch pizza), a ham and mushroom spaghetti ($55) and chicken wings (8 for $65). There was a 10% service charge for using the online dining platform app.
The app worked pretty good though there was a bit of a worry when ordering and it suddenly froze on us. It said it would arrive in 60 minutes and it did. We devoured everything so fast so all I got was a photo of the pizza.
The pizza had a nice thin crust. They don't do thick crust here. Ingredients were generous but I could have asked for a bit more cheese. We had the pasta was actually still al dente when it arrived. Impressive for delivery pasta. The sauce was a white creamy sauce that was fragrant with actual herbs and bits of truffle paste. But my favorite was the chicken wings. The BBQ sauce used was tangy and sweet. The wings were not overcooked. We should have ordered two rounds of these instead of one.
Good food. The delivery came on time. Everything was packed well and there appeared to be no spillage as sometimes it happens in a delivery. The only thing was there were no eating utensils for the pasta. Good thing we always had spares somewhere in our pantry.
