Gusta Pizza — Restaurant in la Vila Joiosa / Villajoyosa

Where to start! We arrived at the restaurant, staff wondering around setting tables up, not one of them asked if we were ok or needed any help. We had to ask to look at a menu to see if we fancied trying here. The menu looked good with plenty of choice so we thought we would give it a go. I had to go up the steps to ask the waitress if she had a table for 2. She looked at me and then just pointed to a table. The table wasn't made up for diners. We then waited around 20 minutes before having to ask said waitress if we could order food. She spent the whole time hanging around us near a service station but not once glancing in our direction. When she eventually came over at her own pace we ordered a jug of sangria and 2 glasses and our food. After around 10 minutes we had some cutlery and napkins just chucked on the corner of the table! After another 20 minutes of us wondering where our drinks were our food arrived! We then explained we hadn't got our drinks yet to turn around to find a girl bring us 2 glasses of sangria, I explained I had ordered a jug and they just shrugged, clearly not giving a damn. My husband ordered a pizza and I had the truffle pasta. While the pizza was very tasty according to my husband, my pasta was lacking any flavour at all. I had to get up myself to get some salt and oil. Not once did any member of staff come and ask how the food was or to see if we wanted more drinks. It felt like we were an inconvenience to them. They seemed to be a lot more friendly with the local Spanish diners. We had to again ask someone to clear the plates and get the bill all while at least 3 members of staff constantly walking past us. Honestly don't waste your money going here, awful service...

So we went the 29 September and were told we couldnt have the menu del dia as it was a fiesta (7.95) so a little bit of searching around, the only fiesta is the day of San Miguel (saint Michael) which happened In 2020 not 2021, so becauae of this we had to pay full price, so instead of the bill coming to 30euros it was 58euros. The 29th wasnt a fiesta day or public holiday you just tell lies to get full prices from people, shame on you. Wont go back ever and will Tell everyone that you are bandits, which is a shame for you as we have visted over 10 times in last 2 years, so because of greed you will lose alot of future money, hope you enjoyed the extra 28 euros, was...

Food is alright but the service is horrible. We have been coming here for years as it the only place at the beach front with pizza. They consistently ignore you, takes ages to order or pay or even get anyone’s attention. Unless you’re local. No air conditioning inside and very often they put out reservations on the tables to keep tourists away. Food is going to the thrown on your table, don’t hope for any service. If you want nice atmosphere, family meal or eat nice food - go for Argentinian steaks place 3 min...
