The Pickled Fox — Restaurant in Thanet

I really wanted a good Pizza so couldn't wait to go to Ralph' Pizza. Upon arriving noticed the place has changed - both in looks and name but as it was still a pizza place, decided to give it a go. Lets start from the good points: place got a refresh - more space outside and inside, lovely decorations - looks really inviting. There is even air conditioning! chili oil - i think homemade Not so good points: menu got downgraded - less options both in pizzas(I think 5) and drinks - forget about locally sourced options from Kent - all standard brands and choice very limited. no more vegetarian/vegan heaven - margarita for vegetarians and pizza with tomato choices for vegan option service - słów and chaotic - 4 people with 1 making pizza and others without clear functions, even for them - as a result wait is long, tables not prepared and staff asking if you want cutlery to eat your pizza😂 pizza - what a disappointment - what we ordered arrived after sitting for 5min on the counter(have i mentioned chaotic service?) and looked sad. Unfortunately did not taste any better. Flat, dry and tasteless - thank good for the chili oil. Poor ingredients, poor dough.

Would i recommend - no. It is nice place - both inside and outside but Pizza is like from average takeaway but more expensive, uninspiring...

At first sight this looks like a lovely little spot to eat. After sitting down and ordering drinks. We were told it’s a 50 minute wait for a pizza or any hot food, as we had to be somewhere, we ordered a Burrata Tomato salad. I also asked if they has any plain bread but that wasn't possible either. The salad cost £15 for what I would call half a portion. It consisted of a bit of rocket, a few tomatoes and burrata. An absolute joke for £15. When it arrived, there was no salt, pepper or olive oil on the table. As I couldn’t get anyone’s attention, I went inside to ask for salt, pepper & oil, the waitress swiftly told me, that it already had it on. I asked “but we would like more, would that be ok?” All the staff including, the chef & manager looked at me as if I had gone mad. As I walked away I was fuming. Begrudgingly, they brought the salt, pepper and olive oil. We eat, paid & left feeling like we had just been robbed. Shame as looked like...

We had a really good experience here. The pizzas were delicious – we ordered a Margherita and a Pepperoni, along with the house-made bread and their special sauce. Everything was well cooked and the sauce was incredibly tasty. Our plates were even brought by the chef, which was a nice touch, and the staff were attentive overall.

However, I do want to point out one thing: although the sauce was truly amazing, it was served in a tiny paper pot. Such a wonderful sauce doesn’t get the value it deserves when presented this way. Considering the attention to detail and overall quality of the place, it would have been much nicer if it came in a proper porcelain dish (and in a slightly more generous portion). In its current form, it definitely doesn’t justify the £10 price tag.

All in all, a...
