Food Quality

Pros:

• "The pizza topping was amazing. Exactly the right amount. The cheese was amazing."
• "Absolutely the best wood fired pizzas ever."
• "One of the best authentic pizzas I've had in Glasgow."
• "Delicious, authentic pizza, good, friendly service, not too expensive and not a rip off like many others."

• "The pizza dough is light and crispy topped with quality ingredients."
• "The pizza was absolutely amazing! I love stone baked pizza’s and that’s got to be the best one I have had."

Cons:

• "Pizzas are Neapolitan style, so very wet and sloppy."
• "Pizza was swimming in oil which made handling very difficult, taste wasn't great either."
• "Soggy pizza alert! Been here twice now and both times the pizza has had a soggy, wet, doughy base."
• "Really nice pizza when it wasn't falling apart. The base is far too thin that it either flops like soggy paper or breaks apart."
• "Yeah the pizza was okay, the meat on it was super chewy which was weird as salami is usually flat on pizzas and easy to digest but this was in weird strips and it didn't work I'm afraid."
• "The vegan pizza consisted of roughly chopped vegetables, way too much onion and a very bitter tomato sauce."
• "However, it was soggy in the middle and the sauce lacked flavour."

• "If I have to mention anything irk worthy, I would probably say that the extra charge for oregano and chilli flakes was a bit of a surprise."
• "The 5th star is missing only because I was expecting a bit more ingredients, in terms of quantity, on the pizzas."
