Even though I knew there was an offer on groupon for Pizza Express I did not get it.
Anyway, dined here before the the groupon offer started.
Pizza Express has always been good for Pizza and I always have it in the UK.

Ordered a pizza, pasta and a dessert.
For the pizza base there are two types, in the UK I usually have the thinnest one (Romana), however in Hong Kong they advised on the classic pizza base, so I had that.

Farfalle con Salsiccia
This was Italian sausage crumbled with bow-shaped pasta, cooked in white wine, rosemary, cream and chilli, finished
with grana padano cheese.
Although it looked really creamy it was not, and the cheese was really nice.

Sloppy Giuseppe pizza:
Hot spiced beef with red onions and green peppers.
Overall this pizza tasted really nice, but I really regretted not getting the romana base, the same one as I had in the UK.
Although the classic base is thin, it is not as thin as the Romana one.
The beef was finely grounded and evenly distributed on the pizza and the spicyness was just right.

Fig Tart
This was soft almond tart baked with figs served warm with a spoon of mascarpone.
There was also ice-cream instead of mascarpone but I felt that ice-cream was sweet so I stuck with mascarpone.
The mascarpone was a really good match with the tart because it was dense and creamy a bit like clotted cream.
To be honest the fig tart looked more like a buttery cake with plums in it because the fruit did not look like fig at all.
I really liked this tart.
