The Safari Pizza co, pizzeria and wine bar — Restaurant in Mid Sussex

Unfortunately, my pizza and dessert arrived lukewarm and messy. I felt the chorizo in the calzone tasted tough and the same goes for the dessert dough. Regarding the dessert, the portions seemed small and in inadequate packaging - 8 pieces of dough covered in caramel in cardboard packaging, normally for £8. There should be something between the cardboard and the caramel covered dough, maybe foil?

Thankfully it was all half price today. I think I was unlucky with my order (the World Cup and the freezing weather may have contributed) plus perhaps this kind of food is best eaten at the restaurant.

I haven't written them off as most of the reviews are positive. I will give them another go sometime in the future, perhaps this time dining in.

EDIT 10/12/23 :-

Dined in for the first time, and it was better this time around. I must confess I'm not a big fan of pizza but I really wanted to give this place a try dining in and support a local business. Presentation and service wise, it was top notch and everything tasted fresh. Unfortunately, it didn't change my opinion of pizza, but if you like pizza, then I would definitely give...

I left my review as a private note through OpenTable but unfortunately have not heard anything from Safari Pizza about my experience.

I don’t want the waitress to get into any trouble but my experience has made me not want to return. I asked for a burrata bomb pizza without the cherry tomatoes. The waitress seemed to feel this was wrong even though I know my own tastes. I have tried cherry tomatoes before and do not like them. The waitress decided I should have one cherry tomato and I didn’t feel I was able to say no. The waitress then came to the table later to check if I had tried the cherry tomato and when I said I still didn’t like them, she again didn’t seem happy with this. I said I found it tart but the waitress tried to correct me and told me I would have found it sweet. I am autistic and have struggled with food textures (and being teased as a child for some of my preferences) so this made me feel uncomfortable to the point I would not wish to return to Safari Pizza...

Booked a table for Easter Sunday, on website there is an option whereby you can select if for an occasion? - Which was for a Birthday. Not sure what this option does as nothing special or nice choice of table. On arrival the restaurant was empty and we were only given an option for a table of two right outside the kitchen area, not good as alot of noise and banging and people going in and out all the time! Then the restaurant started to fill up and a party of 8 arrived our table was right next to this table, so got extremely noisy at this time. I think the seating plan is terrible, why put tables for two right next to a table of 8? This really spoilt my Birthday treat as just wanted a nice quite table for two- no choice! Food was good and service OK, on finishing our main course plates were not collected for a while, could have been better. Overall ok, shan't be returning as if you want a nice quite meal for two, this isn't the...
