We stopped in ad-hoc on a Saturday night for a sit down meal. I had visited this venue under its previous ownership and thought it was OK back then but thought it was long enough ago I should give it a second go. Boy, what a great decision that was.
We both had the pizza and I added a could of toppings. Quick service, no sense of being rushed along etc. Chef made time to pop over and chat without being too overbearing. Food was some of the best pizza I have had in this country, the mozzarella seemed extra creamy yet not oily. Complimentary olives tasted fantastic. Also, they had what I assumed was an Italian radio station playing, piped over the internet. It gave the small restaurant an authentic vibe.
If I was asked to criticize something it would probably be the wine price. I asked for house wine, they offered a very decent pinot grigio for £26. Given the pizzas were fantastic value at ~£11 the wine pricing seemed out if sync with that value range. But like I said, this was if I asked to balance out my review with a critique.
I will definitely be returning here in the near future where I'll endeavour to take some photographs and update my review.
I went here with my Nan in February and ordered and paid for 2 margaritas pizzas and garlic bread online. After picking up the pizza, the pizza was black on the bottom and burnt and the garlic bread was over cooked and had no taste whatsoever. We were regulars in here and came 1-2 times a month but the food wasn’t good so we walked back and complained and the young girl and chef were rude and obscene. They told us this pizza was fine and that my Nan always orders garlic bread with cheese (she’s never done) and is why she didn’t like the garlic bread. They also didn’t apologise and the chef was eating his pizza practically in our face when we was complaining. My Nan felt very distressed and upset and it completely ruined our evening.
