Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently point to the pizza itself as the draw, with several praising a veggie deluxe loaded with fresh mushrooms and a customized veggie deluxe with goat's cheese instead of mozzarella that still came out looking appetising. Many describe the base as having real flavour rather than tasting like cardboard, and the staff draw repeated praise for being friendly and willing to accommodate small requests. Against this, two reviews raise real problems: one diner reports a large pepperoni pizza slathered in grease and an unpleasant smell in the shop, while a longtime regular describes an order of four pizzas with barely any cheese and dough that tasted like it was going off, leaving the family feeling sick afterward. That same reviewer noted this was unusual for a place they considered the best in Carrickfergus for over twenty years. Several others mention returning after years away or driving from neighboring towns specifically for the pizza.

“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.”
