Eva Longoria says "best Italian food she's ever had was at Pizza Express in Cardiff".

It turns out even celebs love a good Pizza Express.

Hollywood star Eva Longoria has probably eaten at some of the finest restaurants in the world, but she says the best Italian food was from a chain in Cardiff.

Presenter and comedian Jack Whitehall has revealed her preferences, saying she discovered the restaurant when filming The Fall in 2017.

Eva has written her own cookbooks in the past and owns a diner in LA.

She apparently raved to her co-star about her “authentic” meal, unaware that it’s a chain restaurant.

Jack made the revelation on Jay Rayner’s Out To Lunch podcast.

Apparently Eva is a huge fan of Italian food, and was searching for a good meal when they were in Wales filming for Decline and Fall in 2017.

Eva called the meal the “best pasta in the world.”

She added: “It’s called . . . Pizza Express."

Jack said Eva also thought Cardiff was near London.

The Desperate Housewives star appeared as Margot Beste-Chetwynde in the 2017 TV series.

Jack stars as Paul Pennyfeather, a student at Oxford University in the 1920s. 

Back in 2016, a fan tweeted: "Eva Longoria's Snapchat at Pizza Express is like a dream I had once to be honest."

Another added: "Everyone buzzing off Eva Longoria being at Pizza Express"

It's not known whether Eva opted for the famous dough balls.
