Read about their new line "Leggera", or "light" in Italian, offering choices for the calorie-consicous. Especially notable are the pizzas, which are shaped like a donut, with salad greens replacing the dough, together with lower-fat toppings, using fior di latte mozzarella, and all pizzas are about 500 calories, whole. Went to this branch as Wing Fung St. outlet was fully booked.Ordered the following:1. Parma with neapolitan crust $130A single bite is a party in your mouth, with salty proscuitto
Ordered the following:
1. Parma with neapolitan crust $130
A single bite is a party in your mouth, with salty proscuitto ham, generous parmesan shavings, smooth pomodoro sauce and creamy warm ricotta. I love how the cheese is separate, not smothered, on the pizza base, so you can enjoy the distinct tastes of every ingredient.
2. Spaghetti Frutta di Mare ($105)
With mussels, venus clams, calamari and tiger shrimp. I enjoyed the sauce the most, which is sauteed with some onions and cilantro, and garnished with basil. The mild hint of olive oil gives it a richer body.
3. Quattro Fromaggi with Roman crust ($115)
The 4 cheeses used in Pizza Express' recipe:
Gorgonzola stands out from the rest, gouda gives it a deep lavor, emmental contributes to the texture, and mozzarella is like giving your taste buds a break from all the synergy! A bit rich perhaps, but a delight for cheese lovers. Topped with a single pitted olive in the middle.
4. Al Tonno Leggera ($1xx)
I initially ordered a Vitabella, but they made this instead - with sauteed spinach and tuna. I like its feta cheese pairing. The fior di latte mozzarella has a high-moisture content so it was quite creamy; flavor was not compromised! I would have still prefered my order, with more vegetable toppings. The greens in the middle consist of baby spinach, arugula, santos tomato which were fresh; I really liked the balsamic vinegar based dressing which was thick and very sweet, but they could have used less - it sort of soaked into the pizza.
Service is better than many restaurants; staff are friendly, helpful; refill of drinks and water is fast. This branch may be a bit cramped though, seating is not the most comfortable, but dining area is well-lit and spotless. A great place for parties large or small, kid-friendly as well.
Definitely worth a visit, and you're likely to come back.
