I visited because of the prior reviews, however, I share a dissimilar experience. While the service was decent (placed my order, and flagged down staff to closeout and pay) the taste of the food is very basic.. unseasoned and lacking in flavor. The pasta had barely any sauce or chicken (as pictured) and left so much to desire. I decided to take it home to doctor it up before finishing. The pizza is sub par. Nothing special and would not return for more. Not quite sure where all of the extraordinary reviews have accumulated from.
Edit: While the owner has provided a response and has requested a reconsideration of my review, I will adjust the "service" rating and provide additional comment instead, as I know my review is a fair representation of my experience. What I find peculiar is the owners statement regarding my "mood". In the absence of a behavioral science or psychology degree, such a statement should have been withheld. There was no particular "mood" exhibited from me, and one can only assume that such a misinformed presumption may be due to lack of interaction with diverse communities.
In response to my reply regarding my experience, the food that was provided was crafted with the restaurant staffs best effort, as the owner noted. As such, I am capable of understanding and accepting the effort provided, although it was not the standard that I expected. If more sauce, seasoning, and chicken would have made the pasta exceptional, the dish would have been provided to me that way initially and without request for alteration.
I hope that my feedback helps the business to accept constructive criticism. I aslo hope that this establishment will continue to grow, as there are several other reviews that...
Read moreWalking into Pizza Lab feels like stepping into a culinary sanctuary, where every dish sings the praises of authentic Italian craftsmanship. The pizzas are nothing short of perfection – the crust a delicate symphony of crunch and chew, cradling toppings so fresh and flavorful they could make a Neapolitan weep. Each slice is a masterpiece, a testament to their house-made dough and unwavering dedication to tradition.
The pasta dishes? Oh, let me tell you, they’re poetry on a plate. Silken ribbons and tender spirals bathed in sauces that dance with vibrant, soulful flavors – you can taste the passion in every bite. The freshness is palpable, as if the ingredients were plucked from an Italian garden mere moments before gracing your table.
And then, the pièce de résistance: dessert. We shamelessly indulged in every single item on the menu, and not a crumb was left behind. Each sweet delight was a symphony of taste and texture, leaving us blissfully torn between savoring and devouring.
The six of us feasted like royalty, yet the bill was surprisingly modest – a rare and welcome delight. Whether you’re a vegetarian or a die-hard carnivore, Pizza Lab caters to every palate with effortless charm.
If you find yourself in Phuket, do yourself a favor and visit this slice of culinary heaven. Your taste buds will thank you, and your heart might just fall a little more in love with Italy, one...
Read moreI am genuinely not exaggerating when I state that this place served the worst Italian food that has ever touched my palate. I could have made instant noodles that were cooked better than the chewy undercooked Carbonara. There was also no flavour with the Carbonara, and it was simply extremely salty, not dissimilar from the ocean water I swallowed whilst on my Phi Phi Island.
The pizzas were extremely underwhelming and the pizza bases were not properly cooked and charred. The dough was still raw in certain places and there was still flour on the bottom of the pizzas.
The mango shakes were made with fake artificial mango flavouring which was extremely harsh and was not what I was expecting, especially when they were charging double the price of street stalls for a drink.
Overall, I would highly recommend any individuals that respect their taste buds to avoid this eatery at all costs - even a visit to any fast food joint would lead to higher satisfaction.
EDIT: I genuinely believe that the majority of positive reviews for this establishment are fake or purchased. There is simply no reasonable explanation that this appalling place has the reviews it has attained.
PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR TASTE BUDS...
