"Terrible food and very disappointing. After reading these reviews and looking on the website, we were anticipating very high quality pizza and overall a good experience. We ordered 3 pizzas and seasoned potatoes, and this was incredibly overpriced for the standard of the food that we received. For such a place that prides itself on serving only pizzas and salads, there was a very limited selection of pizzas as well as toppings, with popular toppings like ham and mushrooms not even being offered, which was a letdown. When the food did arrive, all of the pizzas were burnt. The base of all of the pizzas were burnt in several places and we had try to find small pieces which we could eat. The margarita in particular was the worst, with a few slices being left due to being inedible. We also ordered the highly overpriced seasoned potatoes at £5.95, which we were convinced by the waiter were seasoned with 'cumin and paprika ', but they weren 't even seasoned with salt and pepper. I have had plenty of cheaper and better potatoes and I can assure you that despite the price, these are definitely not the best potatoes in the world. When complaining to the staff about our burnt pizzas, they apologised and offered another pizza, but by that time, it was too late. For the price that we paid, the food was not only of an average standard, but it was also burnt. As a chef, you don 't serve burnt food to customers. When we came to pay, the waitress apologised that the food was not to our taste . Who would enjoy eating carcinogenic burnt food? This was quite insulting, and after complaining again about our burnt pizzas, we were only offered a few pounds off the bill. The final amount was completely unjustified for what we ate, and considering that we received burnt pizzas, incredibly disappointing. Compliments to the chef!"
