Reviews
The sheer volume of people in the place, along with wooden chairs on the tiled floor makes it very noisy, although it’s certainly a lively atmosphere. The (what I assume to be newer) extension on the side isn’t quite decorated to the same level as the main area so feels a little detached and ‘no-frills’ but fortunately the level of service from the staff was just as good.
The menu is basic, just as you’d expect a traditional small family run place to be, and naturally pizzas are the focus although there are a few other Italian dishes. The choice of pizzas is very large and the prices for even the most heavily topped ones is reasonable.
Orders were taken quickly from the staff, drinks were served fast and despite how busy the place was, the main meals arrived really quickly. The pizzas were large although there was quite a space left between the edges and the topping, meaning there was probably too much burnt base for the size. However the toppings were generous and cooked thoroughly. Everyone in the group found the size filling enough to not need any desert orders!
The staff were brilliant throughout being really fast, always on hand and friendly. This is a credit to them given how many other diners there were. The noise levels were far too high to make it a relaxing experience though, and being crammed in so tight amongst everyone else was a shame. Other than that though it was a great meal and felt really authentic. I’ll certainly return, just probably not at such a popular time.
I’m afraid I don’t have many positives to say about the food. On the plus side the pizza base was thin but on the downside it was dry and hard, like pitta bread. The cheese was salty and cheap and kinda masked all the other flavours. The tomato sauce didn’t taste of anything and the toppings seemed low quality and tossed on the pizza randomly.
The cheesecake at the end was a bit bland too so overall very disappointed by the food so I won’t be going back again.
Really buzzy prompt and efficient service well drilled.
Excellent Excellent value all round first visit and 100% coming back
