I've been waiting a while to try this place, it is just slightly too far from home to be convenient for take away, but going off the reviews seemed worth it.
I'm fairly sure pizza runs through my veins, I have had the best of the best in Sorrento, and the worst (oddly enough in Pompeii).
Pizza express are good at what they do, consistently, so for a chain pretty good.
I would definitely consider myself a pizza aficionado.
So sadly I was really quite disappointed by the pizzas and garlic bread that we got from Auction Eats last Friday (22/9/23).
I'd read quite a few reviews stating that the pizza bases were doughy, or underdone, or undercooked, or soft. Unfortunately all three of ours were the same.
There was no crunch to the crust at all, it was just soft, the underside of the base was not at all golden (or as would be normal from a pizza oven, a little charred in places).
I put mine in the oven for 10 mins at 200⁰, but it didn't really help.
The toppings were tasty enough, and there was enough topping. But a decent base for a pizza is essential. These three were not decent I'm afraid. So dispute the relatively cheap price, we won't be getting pizza again from there as there are two other local options which are far superior (Guy's Court and Dante's).
We are booked at Auction Eats to dine in in a few days, so we will avoid the pizza (which would be my choice really) and try something else. Fingers crossed.
But sorry Auction Eats, there's enough reviews out there saying the same. Maybe turn the oven up? Or leave them in a bit longer, the toppings weren't...
Read moreFirst visit here was coming out of lockdown and outdoor eating was the only option. My husband had heard good things about Auction eats so we actually had a drive there to check the place out. It's like a hidden gem and not what I expected, having said that, it's a Fantastic place. Very popular but that's because it's superb . Recommended for a Sunday breakfast but get there early, it gets busy.... A week later and we came back for dinner. I had lobster ravioli and my husband had bolgenese. Both where amazing.. Superb UPDATE :Returned again May '22 and happy to say its still just as brilliant. We got takeaway but eating in was full as usual. It's only small but boy is this place top notch. If they ever expand it will still be full every night because what they do and how they do it just works.. Most important of all DELICIOUS FOOD!! UPDATE 2 ... Feb 26th 2023.. Takeaway again and I tried a different dish this time ... Chicken and Mushroom Risotto..oh my days !!!! Literally the best Risotto ever . perfect perfect perfect...this place is an...
Read moreDecided to come here as a treat for my daughter before she went back off to uni. We were a party of 4: 2 adults and 2 children. Can't fault the food or service at all, they were top notch and the value was superb (1x garlic bread side, 2x pizzas, 1x lamb hotpot and 1x prawn pasta dish and 4 non alcoholic drinks for £56). However, I did feel we were cramped in a bit, with four of us sat around a circular table which was situated right by the entrance. Every time someone came and went, we had an icy blast of air engulf us and people shuffling past, hence the 4 star rating. Despite this, it wouldn't put us off, I'd definitely visit again, but most likely in summer. I like the variety of food and it was all delicious. We didn't try the cakes, but they did all look amazing, I'll definitely try...
