Price
Pros:
"And it wasn't over the top in prices, unlike pizza express!"
"Prices were reasonable for a touristy area, overall very satisfied."
"Parking is across the restaurant and across the main road at church for around £2 for 2 hours."
"Great prices, and if, like us, you order too much food, staff will provide empty pizza boxes to take the food home."
"Definitely worth a stop. Great food at an equally good price with a good selection of drinks and desserts too."
"You pay a fair price and part of the profits go to charity which is saving the apes."
"Great pizza at a really decent price."
Cons:
"I give it a 4 not 5 stars as I think it is a tad expensive given its a take-away and you sit on wooden benches outside (×2 pizzas plus 2 soft drinks came to over £28)."
"Heard some people say it’s a little pricey if it’s a treat for now and then maybe not but large families on a budget might find it costly."
"I felt it was overpriced at £11.50 for a takeaway pizza."
"Base had a massive burnt rim, the ham flooded the base with its juce, much better pizza in London for 1/2 price and in Spain for a 1/4."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Fantastic vegan choice."
"Delicious pizza, always look forward to coming here when I visit Betws-y-coed."
"They do the best pizza around.! Plenty of great options too for vegan and vegetarian."
"Pizzas were scrumptious and tasty nice and hot."
"Great Pizza! Thin crispy based with great tasting toppings, vegan friendly and great drinks too!"
"The pizza with goats cheese was so tasty I think it was the best pizza I have tasted."
"By far the nicest pizza I've ever had."
Cons:
"Second one disappointed us as it was spicy, had a lot of onion and overcooked firm salami."
"The crumbled meatball pizza was impossible to pick up at it had tons of the sauce making it into a sloppy mess."
"Nice, but slightly burnt pizza."
"There was far too much chilli on the pizza and not very much salami or ham."
"Not the nicest of pizzas we’ve had. Very limiting menu."
"What struck me was the distinct lack of cheese, around 40% of the Pizza was plain bread."
"Pizza toppings were good, but the crust was so soggy and thin that there was no way to eat the pizza but to use a knife and fork."
Service
Pros:
"Quick table service and cook time considering we were a group of 5 with some different dietary requirements and could not fault the staff who were very welcoming and friendly."
"Service was fantastic and consistent."
"Staff were very friendly and helpful."
"Service was brilliant the lady who served me and my friend was super friendly and welcoming."
"Service is quick and polite."
"Staff were excellent friendly and efficient."
"Service was great and professional."
Cons:
"I felt the staff were a bit condescending, they also just stood in a group chatting."
"Staff a little slow and considering only 5 other families where eating inside and out we waited a very long time for food."
"We were attended to quickly at the door but then seemed to get forgotten about until we flagged one of the waiting staff down."
"The service was slow this time, but the staff really friendly and personable although serving a huge Q they ask about your day and give you individual attention!"
"Staff rude and very unfriendly."
"Cracking pizza but lousy hospitality skills. Walked in, no one greeted us or said hello."
"After our meal we were looking forward to dessert but unfortunately nobody came back to our table."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Great vibe, love the decorations and supporting an amazing charity."
"The atmosphere was great, especially in the outdoor seating area."
"Really great little place. It has a great atmosphere and the pizza here is the best I've ever tasted!"
"A lovely atmosphere and buzz about the place."
"Fabulous ambiance and super busy with tourists, hikers and locals on a Friday night."
"Atmosphere is great."
"We sat outside in the sunshine and the atmosphere was great."
Cons:
"The one down side for me was the absence of affordable drinks."
"Refused service at 8pm as it was too close to closing time."
"The background music played while we were there was more intrusive than background and was a very heavy rock, with quite a few profanities which is perhaps unsuitable for a place where families with young children frequent."
"There was a lecturing poster on the wall about using mobile phones and 'being in the moment'... which kind of made the poster pointless and ruined the vibe a bit."
Sustainability
Pros:
"Also committed to supporting animals and more sustainable practices."
"Also an ethical restaurant which supports ape charities and encourages recycling, which is nice to see."
"Every drink you order goes toward saving the Orangutan, and the Gorilla."
"Nice addition is they support conservation for Orang-utans."
"They're also eco conscious and donate to various charities."
"Everything is based around recyclable materials, all in support of the declining population of orangutans, chimpanzees, gorillas and all monkeys."
"It's an extra nice touch that the restaurant is associated so closely with wildlife conservation."
Cons:
"One suggestion - it would be good if they considered using plates instead of single use boxes for those not taking away, as they create a huge amount of waste."
"Greasy cheesy pizza boxes cannot be recycled."
"Generating mountains of waste because they serve everything in disposable single-use boxes."
"I'd also suggest using paper plates instead of big pizza boxes as seems to cause the large bins to be overloaded."
Accessibility
Pros:
"Super dog friendly - it even had little dog jumpers outside to help them keep warm."
"Also very dog friendly, can buy your pooch a little sausage for 30p."
"Another dog friendly restaurant and plenty of outside seating under cover."
"You can also buy a tasty sausage treat for your fury friend! Good latte!"
"Dogs are welcomed and there is even jackets for them that you can borrow to keep them warm whilst you eat!"
"They also provided colouring sheets which helped entertain the kids."
"One of the few places open a bit later in Betws-y-coed, last orders at 8:30 pm!"
Cons:
"No dining in at the moment but covered benches with heaters outside."
"Not much indoor space, doesn't take booking."
"Very busy and waited 45 minutes to get to the ordering point."
"Wait times can get longer when they are busy."
"But the waiting times are too long and often not within the times they say."
"However the wait was over 45 minutes from ordering to arriving at the table."
"So I said do we wait inside or in a queue and were told no as too full inside...so this left people hanging around unsure if they were queuing for food, waiting to grab a table as people left."
