  “Went as part of a company dinner. The restaurant didn’t cater to vegans, celiacs or lactose free people and offered no alternatives, so a few of us left hungry after watching our co workers enjoy a train of endless different dishes. Servers had no knowledge of what veganism is and was told they could offer an nduja and honey pizza, or to “just eat the potatoes”. Contacted the restaurant twice, someone said they’d look into it and reply but never did. I wouldn’t go if you have dietary requirements and definitely not if you have allergies.”

  “Been here a couple of times as my hotel was nearby. The food was okay, but unfortunately the service felt noticeably different toward foreigners, with locals being treated more warmly and prioritized. I initially thought it was just a bad night, but my second visit was even worse, we didn’t even get past the hostess due to how rude and unwelcoming she was.”

  “Not sure where to begin, but we stopped in with an old friend thinking a pizza would be nice. He is from London, we live in the States and Italy. Had high hopes as the restaurant manager was Italian, and at least one of the chefs. Did not know this was a Gordon Ramsey restaurant. The restaurant was half empty, but lovely, nice decorum. Our waitress however was absolutely untrained. After deciding our meal choices (Calabrian potatoes - excellent, fish crudo - 4 out of 5, Margherita pizza, Diavolo pizza, the Prosciutto with pistachio pizza, and a large Caesar salad), I ordered a glass of Chianti. We were never given a wine list until after ordering. The young waitress was confused and asked if it was white wine. I told her, no, red. She came back finally with a small glass of red wine, but not the Chianti, and it was tainted brown (a sure sign of yesterday’s open bottle). It was so bad I had to walk up to the bar and ask the bartender for the correct wine and size even. When I sat back down, our food had just arrived. The three pizzas were barely tepid. The flavors were unexceptional. The diavolo was ok. The salad that came was an Italian Misto salad, not Caesar. We split it up but were not enthusiastic about it. The bartender came back to check on us (she was excellent). When we noted the wrong salad, she took it back and comped it, and brought the new one. Salad was fine, full anchovies vs being mixed in the dressing, which was fine as well, just a bit salty. The original waitress apologized for her mistake. They also seemed to have comped the wine. The pizzas simply were not good. I witnessed the chef yelling at the secondary cook about the size of the crust dough to pan size. The crust was just “there”. My friend and his daughter commented that there is a frozen grocery store pizza that is exceptional comparatively. We did not finish the pizzas. The original waitress “optionally” tipped herself l,11 😳 Will not be back, and not recommend. Cannot wait to have the real deal when we get back to Italy next week. Disappointing. Perhaps GR should perform a Hells Kitchen episode here?”

  “Visited Pizza east few weeks ago. Service provided by Flavia(if im not wrong) was superb. Excellent attention to detail. Drinks were good. Food slightly let our experience down. Steaks arrived fairly warm. (But were delicious anyway). Thanks!”

  “So much fun for a girly day out! Came to PizzaEast from a gift voucher for a cocktail making masterclass, which I took up with a friend. We learnt to make twists on classic cocktails which were delicious and we felt so looked after by Flavia. The food was excellent too - I am lactose intolerant, but my friend wasn't - however they adapted the sharing platter menu slightly to make sure I could still enjoy the meal and my friend still got to try some cheesy goodness. Overall had a great experience, thank you so much!”

  “The restaurant is a really cool space and definitely seems like it would have a good vibe for a date or meal with friends. We were there before regular dinner service so was a little quiet though. The food was OK, the menu sounded interesting but the food didn't quite deliver and felt a bit expensive for the quality. The service was friendly, if a little slow at times, but again this could have been because we were there before peak times and only a few staff were present. Overall a nice space but I'm not sure I'd rush back for the food.”

  “We had such a lovely time at this restaurant. Food was delicious and the drinks were really good too! Flaviya was an absolute star - we didn’t have a booking but she squeezed us in on such a busy night. She ensured we were well looked after and she was so lovely to talk to. Thank you for a wonderful Saturday night. Definitely be coming bak thanks to Flaviya!”

  “We enjoyed their Michelin starred popup from LA - Pastabar. Menu is £59pp. You get starter each, share 2 mains (pizza, pasta) and dessert each. The lobster pasta was one of the best pastas of my life. The bone marrow and anchovy pizza was different but it worked so well together. I’d prefer a more traditional dessert than granita but it was refreshing. The cocktails from this menu weren’t strong. I’d prefer quieter ambiance for this special menu but otherwise good.”

  “We celebrated my friend’s hen do in this restaurant. They were able to accommodate us (9 people) without reservation which was really nice! They even gave my friend a free champagne. We availed of their £37/person tasting menu which include several starters, several pizzas and tiramisu. Their drinks menu was also amazing. We really loved the food. Exquisite flavours and really very reminiscent of Italy. The service was impeccable as well. It is a bit on the pricey side but it was all worth it. We came in very hungry and we left very satisfied. Also, the ambiance is very cozy and the mood lighting inside the dining hall was amazing! Thank you to the team!”
