Pizzaria Horta — Restaurant in Mafra

Very friendly staff but the pizza is below average. The garlic bread did not have garlic taste, we could only taste the cheese. Using a bit of paste and some garlic powder is not enough when the inside of the bread is only cheese. I recommend passing some garlic butter right after the buns leave the oven or increase the garlic paste volume inside.

Now, the pizzas were a disappointment. We had the rodízio at 19.5€ pax. The crust is a bit too thin for my taste and would benefit from a bit more height. Tomato paste was no where to be seen. The problem was the thick layer of cheese. Not only that, but the cheese only stays great as long as it's fresh out of the oven. When it cools down, it takes a plastic like texture. Another problem with that is that, once it cools down, most of the pizzas taste the same and the volume of cheese makes you be full of pizza in a shorter time. The best (but average overall) pizzas were the fungi (great use of fresh mushrooms) and the prosciutto. The pizza with chourição also tasted weird with a curry like flavor. It must be from the quality of the ingredients. The others lacked complements on top (don't talk to me about the tomato pizza) and I cannot imagine why the margherita did not have some basil leaves. It's really a shame that the cooking process is so streamlined that you are just being filled with cheese. We had sangria and it was really good.

The chocolate pizza is nice (and it was my favourite). The thin crust replicates the texture of a crepe but the chocolate sauce was too thin. Thicker sauce would improve the pizza. Overall, I would not recommend this place for the Pizza Rodízio, nor any pizza. There are new places in Ericeira with very good, sourdough pizza and it's just 10...

Atendimento incrivelmente lento e pouco perspicaz. Como é que um cliente entra, fica à espera que lhe digam onde sentar (com mesas livres) e, quando se senta finalmente, tem de esperar uns 10 minutos só para receber a ementa? Um dos empregados, invés de nos ter perguntado pelo menos se já tinhamos escolhido, ficava a ver o jogo de futebol de momento a dar. Fiquei pasmado. Quando finalmente pudemos escolher, mais outra demora longa. só para os pães de alho. Quanto ao rodízio em sí? Nunca vi tal coisa. A espera entre pizzas era ridícula! Pensei que fosse suposto, assim que acabássemos de comer, receber logo a seguir outra pizza. Invés disso, esperámos tanto que, ao fim de duas (grupo de quatro) ficámos sem fome. Ora, em que mundo vale isto 15€? Mesmo assim, ainda tivémos melhor tratamento do que a família à nossa frente que, e muito bem, recorreu ao livro de reclamações. É simples, os fornos são insuficientes para tanta clientela? Ponham menos mesas. Já para não falar que os preços aumentaram significativamente desde as últimas vezes que cá vim (de 10 para 12.5 para 15€), e o mesmo não se tem visto na qualidade, até pelo contrário. Têm mais olhos que barriga. Pois bem, eu cá nunca mais aí ponho os pés. Foi uma vergonha introduzir amigos a esse restaurante para depois eles e eu sermos tratados assim. 60€ para o lixo. Entrámos às 20 e pouco, saímos já na hora...

This is my go to pizzaria! I was here 2 weeks ago, and it continues to have great pizzas and Italian food. The wait staff are great, and I hope it never changes!

I was here again yesterday, I know the pizzas are great, but the Carbonarro dish was amazing. The best I've ever had...better than in Italian. My compliments to the...
