Customer Review Summary
Pizza leads the praise, with one reviewer calling it the best locally and another finding the pizzas and cheesy garlic bread incredible. Others enjoyed a homemade lasagna with rocket salad, a calzone and large brunch portions. Service is described as friendly, though one found the dessert menu left sitting too long. The brownies were a chocolate sponge with little flavour.

“The food was great! We had two Brunches and a Calzone which were all thoroughly enjoyed, large protions. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!”

“Best pizza in the Lowestoft area, no contest.”
- Jody Sander
“A lovely restaurant, clean and comfortable seating. Definitely recommend booking in advance. They had both inside and outside seating as well as sofas by the bar too. The pizzas we had were absolutely incredible as was the cheesy garlic bread. The only let down was the pudding, the brownies were just a chocolate sponge with little flavour and not worth £7.50. The service was great, everyone we dealt with was very friendly and polite. Will definitely be back.”
- John Smith
“This place should be promoted more. It's a hidden gem. Beautiful relaxed atmosphere. The food was out of this world.”
