Pizza Express food hygiene ratings
There are 269 Pizza Express sites in the United Kingdom with a published food hygiene rating. Each is inspected by its own local council, the chain does not rate itself, and a rating earned in one town says nothing about the branch in the next. 8 sites are in Scotland, which uses a pass-or-improve scheme rather than a score out of five, and so are not counted in the figures below.
How Pizza Express scores
98% of rated Pizza Express branches hold the top score of 5, and 100% hold a 4 or better. The chain averages 4.98 out of 5, a strikingly consistent record, well above the roughly 70% of all UK food businesses that manage a 5.
| 5 out of 5 | 253 | 98% | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 out of 5 | 5 | 2% | |
| 3 out of 5 | 0 | 0% | |
| 2 out of 5 | 0 | 0% | |
| 1 out of 5 | 0 | 0% | |
| 0 out of 5 | 0 | 0% |
A further 11 branches are awaiting inspection, exempt, or in Scotland, none of which sit on the 0–5 scale.
Lowest-rated branches
Not one Pizza Express branch in the country currently sits at 2 or below.
Questions about Pizza Express
What is Pizza Express's food hygiene rating?
Pizza Express does not have a single rating. Every one of its 269 UK sites is inspected and rated separately by its own local council. 98% of them hold the top score of 5, and the chain averages 4.98 out of 5.
Is Pizza Express clean?
By the only measure a regulator publishes, 98% of Pizza Express branches were found to have very good hygiene standards at their last inspection. But a rating describes a branch, not a brand, though in this case not one branch sits at 2 or below.
Which Pizza Express has the worst hygiene rating?
None. No Pizza Express branch in the UK currently holds a rating of 2 or below.
Who inspects Pizza Express?
Not Pizza Express. Environmental health officers at each site's local council carry out the inspection, unannounced, and set the rating. The Food Standards Agency publishes the result. A chain cannot rate itself, and cannot change a rating.
