My first impression of this pizza restaurant wasn't great.
From the jazzed name ‘P#zazz Pizza’ to the over-the-top red and yellow
décor, it was a bit ‘in your face’ for my liking.
My friend, Benjamin, and I booked online but were slightly delayed. Luckily,
they kept the table. A sign of good
service or a lack of customers?
The service was good,
at this point, with friendly staff. The menus, delivered promptly, were good
value for money with 2 courses for £10, including ‘beginnings’ and pizzas, with
a range of vegetarian options.
The tables were tightly
packed, creating a pleasant buzz of conversation, until a man a few tables away
began talking too loudly on the phone. There didn't seem to be any policies on
this; for a good 20 minutes we had to listen to him argue with his ex-wife
about picking their child up from school. We’ll never know how Bethany got home
that Tuesday.
Our waiter wasn't keen on
serving tap water but eventually did. He also served bread while we waited for
our starters; I chose salad with Italian dressing, and Benjamin, garlic prawns.
My salad was well mixed, but
clearly straight out the chiller. Benjamin loved his prawns, and tried to force
a couple on me, claiming they were ‘perfectly juicy’. I’ll have to trust him on
that.
The pizzas, finally arriving
after 50 minutes, were well sized. Mine was vegetarian, Benjamin’s was spicy
beef. Unfortunately mine was soggy, however Benjamin wasn't disappointed; his
beef was ‘pleasantly spiced’ and the crust, crisp.
Receiving the bill, I saw we
were charged for the bread, making our total £25 including tip.
Benjamin would return but
I’m unsure. The food wasn't amazing, but one cannot complain too much for two
courses at £10. Overall; my pizza lacked pizzazz.
