I have been ordering these pizzas as takeaways for a while and being that I live locally have walked passed this place many times. I have even sat in and waited for a takeaway and enjoyed some of their craft beer selections. But this was the first time I sat down to eat here. Once again, I wasn't disappointed by the pizza and it is still one of my favourites. Staff were attentive and polite, and quick to take our order. It is a relaxed vibe with some chilled out music playing and a bright feel to the place. I personally love the selection of craft beers on offer which are well selected mix of brewers in London and beyond. But there are number of other soft drink/alcoholic drinks choices. They have perfected half a dozen or so pizzas with unique ingredients that are tasty and haven't gone for too many choices. I went for the Chorizo pizza which is always good. They also have some lovely dips that compliment and ideal - my favourite being the Chipotle and Sour Cream dip. The food came out quick and was tasty as always from the in house wood fired pizza oven. The only thing extra that would have been nice was to have been asked how the meal was and if we needed anything else, to have had the same server the whole time (we had 3 different servers) and also not having to get up and ask for the bill. However, the staff were probably giving us time to chat. These were all minor things. Overall, the staff were friendly and happy and the atmosphere was good! I would say this is the best pizza I have tasted in Crystal Palace area, and...
Read moreMoved to Crystal Palace a few months ago and had been wanting to visit this restaurant for a while.
Finally went this evening. Whilst the pizza was fine, it's honestly not worth the poor quality of service we received.
Some of the items we ordered before our main didn't get brought to the table. Fine, no problem, mistakes happen (though they'd happen less often if you actually write the orders on a pad and don't try to do it from memory, but I digress...) We didn't mention it to the waitress as the pizza had arrived by the time we realised so there didn't seem any point in making a fuss.
Unfortunately the items that didn't appear were still on the bill at the end. Again, no problem we thought, mistakes happen. We politely mentioned this to the waitress and she reacted as if we'd just insulted her mother. She returned to the table with the updated bill and a bad attitude - repeatedly implied we were being difficult by not wanting to pay for something we didn't receive.
I'd understand the poor attitude if the pizza was absolutely amazing to the point that people would visit regardless, but the quality of the food didn't warrant it.
Overall very disappointed and a bit of let down, would probably have come here...
Read moreWent there for early dinner with my 3 yr old son. Ordered a pizza with goats cheese and pequillo peppers however there was barely any goats cheese on it. Toppings were generally pretty measly and my son's margharita was mostly tomato sauce and only a few blobs of mozzarella. Needless to say, sauce was everywhere on the table and his face but he seemed to enjoy it. I don't "get" the whole sourdough base thing because it tasted exactly the same as what you'd get from a thin base at an authentic Italian pizzeria. Didn't do any of the "craft" (annoying and pretentious hipster term) beers they have an array of, but the bottled lemonade was nice. Ice cream was tasty but way overpriced (£4) for two small scoops in a paper tub. For this kind of price, the least you'd expect is two sizeable dollops in a proper bowl! 10% service charge is a bit rich, considering it was just myself and a small child when there were hardly any people there. They should only charge service for tables of 4 or more or even better, let people decide whether they want to leave a tip and how much it should be. All in all, nice enough food, interesting toppings but not enough of them and a bit overpriced for...
