Papa's Pizza, East legon — Restaurant in Accra

Went and ordered pizza at their East Legon location a few weeks ago. It was doused in tomato sauce. My home was too far so I couldn't take it back to show them.

So tonight, I ordered a pizza and told the lady with the order that I did not want tomato sauce on it. Just the cheese and toppings.

I took the pizza home and it was doused with cheese. It was so hard to even break off a slice because the cheese was so thick! You couldn't even see the toppings. They were buried in cheese.

This time, I drove all the way back to Papa's pizza because I was tired of the poor standard and wasting money. The waitress said they would fix it. After waiting 30 minutes, a pizza was brought to me. I wasn't even sure if it was the old one or another. I was too tired to ask. 2 hours has passed since I first stopped by for the pizza. Between wait time, driving hone, return time and waiting for another pizza to be given to me. Or for my pizza to be fixed.

I decided to stop at my family's house to share the pizza with them. I had lost appetite by then so didn't eat any initially. Those who dug in said the meat was off and smelly. So they didn't eat it. I thought I could smell something like that myself. Finally tried a few slices later. Pizza was dry, now has absolutely no cheese and meat was indeed off as if it had started rotting. I tasted goat even though there was no goat in the listed ingredients.

So i gave it to my dogs. They enjoyed their pizza...

There are a number of emerging pizzerias in Ghana now, both local and foreign ones. Papa’s pizza however, is one of the longest standing local pizzerias, and I think one of the reasons is because they’ve stuck with producing tasty pizza consistently☺️!

I haven’t tried other foods they sell; I’m more the kind who would eat pizza at a pizzeria, and other cooked food from an actual restaurant. But, I can say that they’ve got one of the best tasting pizzas in Accra!

The service was alright, nice waiters. You have the option of having a waiter walk to your car and have you place your order if you’d want it to go. They’ve also got delivery services, so you can place an order from home.

There’s a dine- in space, somewhat outdoorsy. The ambiance is not bad. It’s located by a major road, so if you don’t mind watching cars drive by, you’ll be fine!

My recommendation? Go with options with lesser toppings, so you have an idea the taste of the bread, the marinara sauce, and the cheese. Then, when you’re confident, you can move up the...

Where do I start? The cheese that literally glues the pizza to the box? The pizza slices that are never cut through so you cannot separate the pieces. The fact that there is no follow up when placing an order? Or that you have to speak with 2 or 3 different people to secure the order. The online payment processing system that does not work...Waiting 2 hours for an 8 inch pizza to arrive from a few kilometers away, and the delivery driver never called when he was supposed to, so when the 2 hours were up, we had to order food from a different place. The driver then started calling but it was too late...We told the customer service rep that called along with the driver that he/she can eat the pizza and french fries that they could not deliver in 2 hours...Definitely too pricey for the type of service they purport to provide and the actual lack of service that they have...Definitely...
