Rebels Pizza — Restaurant in New South Wales

Sadly, the hype and amount of good reviews of Rebels Pizza in Albury was a let down. We arrived shortly after opening, and looked at the menu for a few minutes to make our selections, then proceeded to the counter to place our eat-in order. The staff of 4 never smiled, offered pleasantries, and were most unethusiastic for their current positions. Those current positions being out of their houses I imagine, being that each one looked as if they just rolled out of bed on a lazy day and swayed into work with enough gusto to remain breathing. Sad and quite disappointing. The atmosphere was heavy as the only sound was the monotonous pizza oven hum. There was no music, which was very odd considering the unique and interesting take on a 50's/60's Rock 'n' Roll diner feel. The ceiling was a neat point, as it was mostly covered with vinyl records, and would have been most cool if they covered the entire ceiling. I am guessing that it was a project that went unfinished, the same as the archaic juke box in the corner that had zero remanance to musical artistry. And now we finally can speak to the food. There were two of us, and we ordered a pizza, and a pasta dish. The pasta came out first, which was weird as it was not asked if we wanted them at the same time or at seperate times. The pasta was steaming hot, nice. It was to be the matriciana with penne pasta. Pan-fried bacon with onions, capsicum, garlic, and chilli in a Napolitano Sauce. To be honest, it was a sad bowl of plainly cooked penne with a muddled and non-authentic bland sauce where the barely noticeable non-crispy bacon could not stand apart from the minced onions, garlic, chilli, and random strips of over-cooked capsicum. Ragu does a better job with its bottled sauces, and if that is what Rebels Pizza used, I am sorry Ragu as I do not know how or why they did that to your sauce. But, if you eat enough of something said to be spicy, it eventually can be spicy, but that does not mean it is good. At least that was the perspective of my co-eater, because guys will still eat something if it is not great, or good. Now on to the Cadillac Delight, or The Lot as the menu board described it. It came after the pasta, and it did have the lot, the whole lot of ham that was I reckon the last of a bag as there was nearly more ham than there was pizza base. They were generous with the ham, there is no denying that. Another sad point was the inconsistency with the remaining toppings. The cheese was mostly even, but the mushrooms, capsicums, and onions went totally unnoticed, even though I did see a mushroom at one point. The pineapple was only scattered on some of the pizza, and due to the heavy content of ham, neither of us could tell if there was any bacon on the pizza as it just seemed to be all ham with cheese. On the positive side, we did ask for no olives, and there were zero olives. Well done Rebels. The pizza crust was not bad, but could not carry the weight of the hashbrown like layer of thin shredded ham, which meant that all the toppings wanted to come entirely off the slice as you tried to eat. Welcome silverware to the pizza party. We did get a pizza box to take our unfinished pizza with us, but that was more out of habit than a desire to eat more later. But it was at that time that I actually did receive a smile from an employee, which is always nice and can generally make a ho-hum experience a hum experience. Would I eat there again? Maybe if it was the last option for pizza at the turn of the apocalypse, but I would choose a pizza without ham. The place was clean, and their business is clearly popular with the delivery orders, as the drivers were constantly in and out with more drivers showing up. Good on them for having a great delivery pizza service, it just did not translate well into the eat-in...

To the employee that just took my phone call I asked for prices then started to order after trying to explain about our allergies so then he said please hold for a moment and stupid me waited 5 minutes so I called back and asked why he put me on hold he stated that an order should only take 5 minutes and I should have known what to order before I called I said I was just explaining our allergies first and he stopped me mid sentence and hanged up. 😡 So I called back and asked to speak to the owner and tried to explain which I was told that they were to busy to deal with my situation and hanged up. I think that is very unfair as each customer has a right to order. I hope they have the respect and patience for a person or people with...

Absolutely Terrible.

People giving this place good stars musnt have many Pizza options in Albury. I called for a delivery after driving 6 hours, absolutely starving. Called through and within a minute advised that I wanted thin crust. Lady advised me that they had already started cooking the pizza (premade maybe??). Asked if I still wanted thin, said "yes". Driver came to my hotel room door, gave me the pizza and couldn't run away fast enough. There it was, a heavy, soggy terrible pizza. Called the place back, told them that this was terrible and all I got was, "Oh, that ok then" after I told them they had terrible service.

Its ok, Pizza Hut had better service,...
