understandable, but also very saddening for those people who are at risk losing their jobs


but can't they go for a alternate solution like deliveries at home, i mean for the company to stay alive at least


delivery services here are blooming more than ever like PostNL, DHL, DPD, but also to be more on topic, Pizza companies like Domino's who also have more orders than before, people staying at home and still wanting to order foods of course, even drive throughs at McDonalds, Burger King doing quite well here too, very handy people to pick up foods from the safety of their cars


delivery service, drive through could be a huge source of income these current times for UK, US too i guess

Yes this has
been going on for a long time
as the massive debts built up,
it was sadly on the cards.


Some Pizza Express are lucky to stay open

...very, very sad with the job losses...in my local town, much of the town centre had become eating places../bars, restaurants, cafes etc as high street retail started to fade...and now.......


...I wonder about the one in Woking, apparently Prince Andrew was campaigning for it to stay open...

I’ve never actually been to a Pizza Express restaurant I’ve always just had the chilled pizzas they do that you can buy from supermarkets. I think they’re alright tbh but it’s sad for all the workers that may lose their jobs.

Pizza Express doesnt work in this day and age and i think it as simple as people want to go to italian sounding pizza restaurants rather than American sounding ones.

Sad for the loss of jobs but pizza express isn't the best

Last time I went to one was in london (near Madame Tussauds) and the wait was so long and the pizza was so meh for the price.
