Pizza Express

Description:

• This glass-walled eatery, on a busy intersection where Lynhurst Terrace, Cochrane, and Gage streets all converge (and in the shadow of the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator), is a noisy place for a meal, mainly because there's nothing to break up the acoustics (the upper floor is better). The pizza is great, ranging from the ordinary (such as the American Pizza with pepperoni, mozzarella, jalapeño, and tomato) to the unusual (like the Peking Duck Pizza with duck, hoisin sauce, chili, spring onion, and mozzarella). It also offers pastas and salads.

  Other branches are in Tsim Sha Tsui at 35 Ashley Rd. (tel. 852/2317 7432; MTR: Tsim Sha Tsui), Wan Chai at 10 Wing Fung St. (tel. 852/3528 0541; MTR: Wan Chai), and -- my favorite location -- on the waterfront in Stanley at 90 Stanley Main St. (tel.852/2813 7363; bus: 6, 6A, 6X, 260, or 973).
