Customer Review Summary
Celebrations drive the praise here, with reviewers describing a wedding dinner for a large party, a graduation, and several birthdays handled with care. Staff are the most repeated highlight, described as warm, friendly and efficient. One diner notes a waiter who never let the wine glass empty, and another says a host kept their son giggling throughout. On the plate, oysters, tempura prawns and scallops are singled out as favourites, and several call the food full of flavour, with one finding it hard to choose only three courses. The caveats come from a smaller group. One diner who booked a birthday dinner and flagged lactose intolerance found staff unaware of either. Their cocktail arrived after the food, and a mixed grill ordered medium rare came well done with no response from staff, followed by a service charge they found frustrating. Another found the fried mozzarella disappointing and had to ask about the set menu. Still, birthday guests repeatedly mention a small treat or birthday plate arriving at the end, and in one case staff singing Happy Birthday.

“Disappointing. Pre booked a birthday dinner for my partner, made a note of this in the booking comments and mentioned she was lactose intolerant. Staff didn't seem to be aware it was a special occasion and had no idea of one of the party was lactose intolerant. We ordered a cocktail once seated which took 20 minutes to arrive with only 5 tables seated in the restaurant. Our food arrived before our drinks. I ordered the mix grill and asked for medium rare. The image shows what came, everything was cooked well done. This was mentioned to staff and nothing done about it. To add a service charge on at the end, considering the price of food at the restaurant, was frustrating.”

“Mariano was incredible. Such a good host. He had my son Jack giggling the whole time. The food was delicious and the menu was too good, it was hard to select only three courses!!!”

“A Truly Special Wedding Dinner We recently celebrated our daughter’s wedding with a dinner at San Carlo Flying Pizza in Leeds, and we couldn’t have wished for a more wonderful experience. A very special thank you has to go to Papi and Eduardo, who looked after us and our 40 guests so brilliantly throughout the day. They were warm, attentive and incredibly professional, but what really stood out was the genuine care they showed. Nothing was too much trouble, and they helped create such a relaxed and special atmosphere for all of us. The food was absolutely outstanding. So many of our guests commented on the quality of the food, with several telling us afterwards just how much they had enjoyed their meal. When you are hosting such an important occasion, hearing your guests praise both the food and the service means a great deal. It was a very special day for our family, and Papi and Eduardo helped make the wedding dinner a wonderful ending to it. A week later, we are still talking about what a fantastic day we had. Thank you to Papi, Eduardo and the whole team at San Carlo Flying Pizza. Exceptional food, exceptional service and a truly memorable day. We will certainly be back.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic time at Flying Pizza celebrating my son's graduation. The staff were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate us, making the occasion even more special. The food was excellent, and every dish was full of flavour. We couldn't fault the staff, the restaurant, or the food in any way. Everything was perfect from start to finish. A huge thank you to everyone at Flying Pizza for making our celebration so memorable. We will definitely be back! Thanks from Ms Singh and Vikram and the Singh family”
