Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the base, describing a proper pizza whose dough has flavour rather than tasting like cardboard. One says it tastes the same as it did over 20 years ago, and another compares it to New York style and puts it ahead of the big chains. Close behind is generous topping, with one diner praising a pizza littered with fresh mushrooms. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and lovely. The complaints are specific. One longtime regular reports an order of four pizzas with hardly any cheese and dough that tasted like it was going off, and says the family felt sick afterwards. Another describes a large pepperoni slathered in grease and a smell inside the shop. Several others call it the best pizza around. One reviewer asked for a veggie deluxe with goat's cheese in place of mozzarella and found it still looked appetising and was not burnt, while another says the staff happily handle small requests and remember names and preferences.

“This place came straight from hell! Me and my wee Bill went there and ordered a Large Pepperoni Pizza and it was slathered in grease like it was mopped on the floor. The atmosphere was also atrocious it stunk in there and smelt like sweaty musty teenagers who don't put on deodorent. Now to make things positive, I loved the service. The wee workers were SO cute they looked like they could be in Year 11! They worked phenomenally you couldn't even tell that this place is a cover up child workshop! Hope this place improves in their pizzas but never changes their services. Best regards -Phil O'Sophy”

“Myself and my family are regular customers of this place. Simply is usually lovely, possibly the best in Carrickfergus. Although we got an order for 3 12 inch pizzas and a 9 inch. When we received the order, some of the pizzas had hardly any cheese. While eating the food there was a terrible taste especially of the dough, it tasted like it was going off. This is unusual for simply. Pizzas weren't enjoyed and felt like a waste of £35 as all 4 pizzas tasted terrible. Everyone is feeling a bit sick after the food we ate. Again a regular customer for over 20 years, disappointed.”

“I asked for a veggie deluxe with no Mozzarella (just goat's cheese) and to my surprise it still looked so appetising ! Sometimes pizzas can be burnt without lots of cheese on but no, it was just right. Nice staff too.”
