Eatalia Restaurant — Restaurant in Free State

My wife and I shared a large Regina pizza with extra bacon and no ham. We both agreed it was the best pizza we remember eating. It was wow! The base was perfectly thin, soft and crispy; perfectly seasoned with the perfect balance of fresh ingredients that were baked to perfection. The cheese was done just right and neither too oily nor in any way dry. All these toppings, full of fresh flavour, were spread generously to very edges of the pizza. It was dreamy perfect. The food came in record time despite the very relaxed atmosphere and the many clients they were serving. Our waiter, Tona, completed the experience with friendly and professional service. Finally, as we were leaving, we had the honour of meeting the owner of the restaurant. His passion for his food, his customers and his industry was exactly what I would've expected after such an amazing pizza. We will definitely eat here again soon, even though it's on the other side of...

Maybe it's the name that threw me off, but with a name like EATALIA😍🤤🥳, I expected an out of Italy experience...or at least as close to it as I can get from across the Mediterranean! Instead, what I got was a not-so-far-from-a-Dr-Oetker-frozen-pizza experience.🙆🏿‍♀️👀 I deliberately ordered the Blue cheese pizza to experience as much taste stimulus as could be garnered from baked dough and savoury toppings, but it turned out to be quite underwhelming.

The one cool thing about the restaurant is the kiddies arts and crafts section called Craftalia. Kids can paint clay and wooden sculptures, as well as pencil cases and pillow cases.

Service was good and the restaurant is...

If it was possible to give 0 out of 5 stars I would gladly choose that option. This place has the absolute worst service imaginable. My partner and I waited for at least 5 minutes at the counter for someone to take us to our table. Of course no one came to help and we decided we'd just go sit. We waited for another 5 minuets for the waitress to notice us in the most filthiest booth imaginable and the waitress didn't even bother to clean the table while she brought us our menus. We decided that we are not going to sit in this unhygienic place and left to go to mug and bean where the waitresses actually want to help us. I would never recomend this...
