Pizza Quality

Pros:

  • "The main event, the pizzas, were perfect! The sourdough base were just as tasty and the smell promised and were a perfect serving size!"
  • "sourdough pizza is indeed guaranteed the signature. smoky burnt crusty chewy but not rubbery pizza dough."
  • "Sharing meat platter with sour dough bread as a starter and then on to easily the best pizza I think I’ve ever tasted!"
  • "The pizza was of good quality. All the ingredients used in it were fresh."
  • "Both pizzas had the same cheesy and tasty toppings, and looked very nice."
  • "Our pizzas were as good as they used to be, if not better, considering that there are more organic ingredients now: well-risen dough, cooked properly, abundant excellent quality toppings."
  • "If you want a good tasting pizza in Bournemouth I recommend here this is our favourite place."
  • "All 5 pizzas we ordered were yummy, great tasting dough, milky mozzarella, just the right amount to topping and cooked to perfection."

Cons:

  • "Both the ham pizzas had barely any flavour nor ham which was a shame."
  • "The toppings were messy and not even at all (AT ALL). Very disappointing…"
