Ordered a takeaway via UberEats from the newer base in Pottington. Arrived within the timeframe stated, nice and hot.
We ordered 2 pizzas, a dip and 1 can of drink which with delivery & service fees came to just shy of £40. Decided it was...worth it to try something more gourmet than Dominoes and the speciality pizza ingredients sounded promising.
The Sicilian sausage and Friarielli was just about OK - I imagine it would be really nice eaten fresh in the restaurant but the sausage was a bit greasy (and didn’t taste at all of fennel as advertised) and the friarielli was soft and watery so as a takeaway pizza the whole thing became quite soggy. The base/crust had a lot of potential but unfortunately had flecks of charred material embedded in the base - too small to brush off or pick out - and it wasn’t that the dough itself was burnt, but it had these little bits of carbon from something that had been burnt, meaning some mouthfuls were nice and others spoiled by a very bitter taste.
The other pizza was the crema di zucca and nduja, which didn’t have the issue with the carbon flecks/bitterness but did also go a bit soggy. The flavours were good and strong with this one.
The dip was unexciting and an absolutely tiny portion for £1.50.
I did email the advertised address for the Pottington store to give feedback about the problem with the carbon, as this might have been an indication that the oven wasn’t up to temperature or hadn’t been swept after a previous pizza had been burned. This was purely to highlight the issue as it’s something easily avoided in future but got no response.
Initially I was going to give the benefit of the doubt and order again at some point but for the price and lack of acknowledgment to my feedback, I don’t think I will.More
