Restaurant Helones Pizzeria — Restaurant in Polis Chrysochous

Situated in old town centre we found this restaurant and pizzeria. Decided to eat here as it advertised homemade pizzas and we just fancied something light. Ordered a half carafe house white wine at €6 which came in a little tin jug. Chose dishes of chicken pitta at €7 and medimum sized prosciutto pizza at €11 along with a bowl of chips at €2. The pizza arrived and was topped with plenty of cheese but it appeared that the pig must be an endangered species as it could definitely have benefited from having more meat. It was alright, just about acceptable but nothing outstanding. A five minute wait then the chicken pitta to arrive with the chips. It wasn’t exactly busy that evening and it would have been better to have both meals at the same time. The chicken was a sliced fillet laid on top of a pitta bread rather than in it, but there was plenty of salad to accompany. The salad included fresh herbs and was actually quite good.

I had to persuade the waitress that it needed sauce and she said no, we don't do that. I showed her the menu and I pointed to the Pasta options, there were two Spaghetti options with sauces, so I insisted on sauce. It eventually came and once put on the Ravioli, it tasted excellent. I think the staff need to learn a bit more English, especially from what I saw this night, everyone was British. All in all, it was nice. Would I go back again....hmmm, I'm not sure. A shame as it...
