"Food is tasty (not fantastic) and the cost of £10.90 for a take away of 1 main and 3 sides is on the pricey side. However my issue with this place is the way the food is served... slapped on a plate (or in a box) like a dogs dinner. I just went in there to get my lunch and had to ask the server to please not put the salad (that has oil and dressing) over my mains (pasta) and broccoli slide. She looked at me as if I club baby seals to death for a living. I made the mistake of wanting some hummus with my salad... Big mistake as this was slapped all over my pasta, broccoli and salad. I was not impressed and the box was dirty on the outside from the mess she made. She then closed the box and slapped this on the counter in disgust with a grunt, as if I had asked her the most awful thing in the world... Also, the food is cold, so if you get the pasta, chicken or veg sides it's not warm... it's cold! Suffice to say I won't be getting my food here again..."

"Il Principe Oxford, England. Authentic as pizza can get, Il Principe is well known amongst the locals and it should be better known to visitors. To thank the babysitter one day, there was a group decision for having pizza for dinner (what else to share? well, maybe fish and chips.. but where to go? After some negotiation and discussion, it was agreed upon for Il Principe. I had a cold at the time, so I stayed at the home base. From what I heard, the waiter there had a very strong Italian accent. Between six people, five pizza were ordered; quattro formaggi, vesuvio, napoli, parma and pesto Genovese. All five of them were good, for differing reasons some to varying degrees. By authentic, these pizzas had a thin base with few ingredients spread in a single and sparse layer on the pizza. This way, there is focus on the quality of the ingredients as well as the different flavours which contrast and interact. After this way, ideally there would not be going back to the pizza chains. For a four cheese pizza, the quattro formaggi was surpringly not overbearing. It was hard to detect the different types of cheese used but it was quite lovely to taste the different flavours. It would have been helpful if the menu told what the cheeses were to attempt detecting them better but it was a decent one, if the weakest of the lot. The vesuvio was advertised as hot underwhelming in that regard. Otherwise not bad, with a guaranteed dynamic of pepperoni, mushroom and chili oil. Parma was the surprise of the night, with the subtle flavours of parma ham and rocket mixed with the sharpness of parmaesan cheese. It was one that improved a second time around. The pesto genovese was pretty good, if a bit on the sloppy side. Tastes and ingredients here range from distinct and acquired to a bit strange for a pizza but the combination works exceptionally well. Finally, the winner of the night is the traditional and tried true napoli anchovies, olives and capers. Three salty and strong ingredients very familar to Italian cuisine. Combining these with good cheese and tomato and you have yourself a bone fide classic of Italian restaurants. This time was no exception. These pizzas were exceptional. I await going here on time, and anticipate eating their food. It is certain that I wish for a return."
