Normally I really like this place but this time no. I ordered the special meal deal which has risen by £1.00 to £13.95 for two courses in the special menu. The ministrone soup starter I ordered was fine. The picante pizza was poor. Normally it's nice but this one had raw red onions, jalapenos, pickled peppers and was far too hot. The onions etc in the top were basically uncooked. Add to that a guy and his girlfriend sat right next behind me. She never shut up talking at the top of her voice even whilst eating. Her boyfriend was the same and had a voice like a fog horn. Add to that I was blinded by the sun shining into my eyes. I couldn't wait to move tables after I had finished the pizza less the afore mentioned items. I asked for a new addition to the menu thinking it was added free. I got a single small expresso and what they called a small cup desert. The desert was in a small expresso cup. My choice was Eton mess and it was poor. I complained about the state of my pizza and the noisy neighbours. The waitress was obviously afraid to ask them to tone down but she got me 20 per cent discount. But when I went to pay my bill was much too much. I had been charged for a large glass of house white wine. I had only ordered a standard one as the size can vary. The coffee and desert was extra. But it was written in small writing. Fooling me and a lot of others I would say. A new trainee chef got the blame for the picante being so very hot. I'm kinda sickened this visit. And though I usually return I will give it a rest such was my bad experience this time. Normally it's good so I will say try it and hopefully this...
Read moreWent Sunday 20th August, at 5.15 and top line is we won't be back. Initially had to wait 5 mins for a table, no problem, and were given the menu's. When the waitress arrived, we ordered our drinks and food (1 starter and kids starter). 5 mins later, it arrived.... And was nice... So far so good..... 50 mins later (yes, 50) I asked the waitress if they'd forgot our order, away she went to check. 5 mins later, came back and apologised that due to the big number of 2 foot pizza orders over the phone, our pizza's had only just gone in.... We got them 65 mins after ordering, and the were tasty. However, at no stage did the manager come over and apologise for the not inconsiderable wait, and as you only get 1 chance at a first impression and to spend nearly £50 for 2 adults and a child pizza meal, I can only hope it improves or like so many other businesses in Lisburn Square, it won't...
Read moreTo start with the service. Horrible. Food: better buy from the supermarket margarita. The pizza has nothing to do with Neapolitan pizza that they claim that it is. You can see from the picture the dough was old( maybe from a few days) not rising, not making any bubbles. The cheese was burned and didn't stay fresh as in a real Neapolitan pizza. Tomato sauce was very little, almost inexistent. And on top of this they probably used very cheap products ( cheese and tomato and dough) it didn't have any taste. Also the dough was super hard on the back of the pizza( nothing to do with a fresh Napoli style dough) They offer garlic or chili oil. What they don't tell you is that their oil is not olive oil but guess what ... no flavour whatsoever, flat bread with cheese and a bit of tomato paste. A supermarket frozen pizza is...
