"Visited on valentines day. Of course on a busy day like that it was always going to be difficult for the front of house to provide the best service. However, the main problem with zizzi as a whole at the moment is the app ordering. To get the app was easy enough with the bar code on the table with table number. But, ordering is not as personal as you expect from a restaurant. By this I mean when ordering a pizza you expect to be able to customise the toppings as its one of the most customisable meals out there. But the app had no option for this meaning we avoided the pizza. In the end, we ordered the new sharer starter, a beef shin meal with potatoes and ricotta filled tortelloni. The starter was just amazing, beautifully cooked fried calamari, oozy arancini with mozzarella filling, tangy caprese salad and garlicky garlic bread. A great starter to share, for it was a bit much but perfect for or With such a great start we were then let down by the mains. My beef shin was cooked nicely and the broccoli accompaniment paired well, but the cheesy potato that was supposed to come with it was replaced by chips, due to running out. I understand that when you run out there isn't anything to do, however because we ordered on the app no one warned us about this until it arrived, and by then it is too late to change. However, it was the tortelloni that was really disappointing. It came as described, the spicy tomato ragu was tasty, but the filling of ricotta was horrible. It had the texture of strange mash potato and was devoid of taste. Because of this we both decided not to finish our dishes. The saving grace for this visit was the starter and the service we received from a hectic front of house. When we mentioned the tortelloni the manager was kind enough to remove it from the bill, even after resistance from myself. From seeing other tables you could see that the waiter's/waitresses were truly trying their best to save everyone's nights. So I give them stars because the starter was lovely and the staff were doing their best. But the marks are lost with a poor consistency of food quality and an app that needs updating or removing."

"Coeliac review: Preface to say this was my first time eating here gluten free, but I used to eat here often as one of my favourite restaurants. I was asked about allergies on arrival and stated gluten for myself, the server explained scanning the barcode on the menu for allergen info. I asked whether the foods listed gluten free were cooked separate or cross contaminated and was informed that anything fried was cooked with gluten so “it depends how sensitive you are” (to which I stated I was coeliac so it was a no go) but this was a huge red flag. It’s also important to note this is not mentioned on the allergen menu next to the items. I was informed the pizzas are cooked in the same oven on a separate tray and pasta is also separate so to stick to these options. I opted for pizza. The toppings were lovely but unfortunately the base was very undercooked and doughy/stodgy. The server did not return after initially bringing us our meals, it ended up being a senior staff that came over to clear our plates as we had been waiting a while (it was busy as a Saturday). He asked how the meal was and I gave him my honest feedback about the pizza base, and he kindly omitted this item off the bill. Overall: Do not recommend for gluten free. Red flags on cross contamination as this wasn’t explained when I stated an allergen and I had to enquire more. Pizza express is much nicer for gluten free and there is one locally."
