"To me pizza is something that is very close to my heart. The amount of good memories I've had happened while having pizza with people. Often when I think of Pizza the emotions that come to mind are joy, hope, excitement , happiness. Yet last night when I sat there eating my pizza from La Stalla all I could feel was a blend of rage and sadness as well as the strong feeling that I had been deceived. I had paid 26 pounds for two vegetarian pizzas and an order of cheese garlic bread. I called up the place beforehand to inquire the amount of garlic bread pieces I would receive as well as the size of the pizza. Once I had received my takeaway and got home I opened the box and to my horror I only found two pieces of cheese garlic bread, the garlic bread looked quite sad and dry and resembled a toastie rather than a proper piece of Italian garlic bread. I then proceeded to open the pizza boxes and I had realised that I have been deceived, the pizzas that sat infront of me , they were not 12 inches. I grabbed my measuring tape and measured it as I knew this was not right . As I measuring I was hoping that I just looked at it wrong and that it was 12 inches , however my optimism was misplaced, the Pizza was in fact 8.5 inches on both pizzas. I decided to slice up the pizza and try to make the best out of a bad situation but the pizza sadly was nothing short of incredibly average. The pizza tasted the same as a frozen pizza, with a tasteless cardboard esque base, bland tomato sauce and cheese that very much felt like low quality heavily processed mozzarella. Overall , this was incredibly overpriced and truly just a miserable experience that I will not be returning to."

"Reception Arrived exactly on time for 6pm booking but waited 10 minutes to be seated Receptionist asked if we required drinks, which we did and informed her we were also ready to order our meal. she stated she was unable to take menu orders. Waited another 10 minutes before our order was taken for both starter and main course. It quickly became apparent that one waiter for 20 tables was going to cause delay problems. Whilst waiting for the starter we noticed that the restaurant was cold with a few free standing vertical electric fan heaters generating very little heat unless you were seated immediately adjacent to one which i was not and subsequently donned my outer coat to keep warm. Following the serving of our starter I reminded the waiter on two occasions that I was concerned at the delay in serving our main course as we were attend the local Theatre at 7.20pm. He assured me the meal was on its way, however by 7pm one hour after our arrival there was no sign of our main course. I informed both the waiter and their receptionist that we were not prepared to wait any longer I paid for the soft drinks and starter meal and left the restaurant. I was extremely disappointed with the quality of service provided and will certainly not be returning to Lucianos at Sunderland again. It is worthy of note that we were not the first customers to have a disappointing experience at Lucianos as endorsed on Trip Advisor!!"
