Booked for Wedding

Food and staff were excellent. Jamez was helpful and responsive. We had buffet pizza and salad and antipasto platters (including vegan) for our wedding reception. Everyone enjoyed the food. I'd highly recommend and would book them again when planning an event.

Booked for Wedding

Just brilliant! This is a family-run business and their service and food were excellent. Maha was communicative in advance and the whole thing went without a hitch, even though I changed numbers of guests late on. We had some really happy guests, even the foodie ones, and couldn’t be happier with Tripoli Express. My personal highlight was Maha asking my guests to check the bride had eaten, because she hadn’t seen her collect her falafel. Thank you so much!

Booked for Birthday party

Wow!, The service so much passed my expectations. David and his crew were awesome. They were all super friendly and attentive. The bar looked great. I had them for the 2 main days of my birthday , named bobfest, and there was a theme of skulls running through so I was so pleased when they embraced that theme too. Even my dog had his own treat bowl on the bar with his name and bobfest on it. The cocktails just kept flowing and they also went around with trays of cocktails and shots. I had so much positive feedback about both the service and the staff. They even setup a "hangover" bar midday with bloody marys and virgin marys which were a great success. I could not have been more happy with the service and would use them again in a heartbeat.

Booked for Hen party

Would 100% recommend! We had a hen party of 14 people, everyone absolutely loved it! The starter of tapas went down as a hit! Everyone tucked in before we could even get all the pictures and the paella was stunning! We then had the most delicious brownies for dessert. Brilliant value for money and would definitely recommend.

Booked for Private party

Fabulous all around experience, helpful, communicative and polite, and that was pre-event. On the day so easy to deal with, self contained and know what to do, and the food itself was terrific, everyone, and I mean everyone at our event commented on the quality, highly recommended and thanks both, see you next year at our next one!

Booked for Birthday party

Pizza Addicts were fabulous from start to finish. Communication was professional and efficient, service was fabulous and the pizzas were incredibly delicious! Couldn’t recommend anyone better than pizza addicts if you want your guests to be raving about the food! Five stars all round - perfection. Piero & Richard were a dream. Thank you!

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
