Review La Porchetta Pizza Restaurant - Doncaster

Wen
Absolutely disgraceful customer service. We arrived at 515pm today with two kids, one in a pram. Our little boy walked past and was excited to try it out. More than half of the restaurant was empty. An unfriendly staff named Erwin came to us, no greeting, speaking with unpleasantness, first words out of his mouth were we've overstepped into the exit lane, when we were the only ones standing at the entrance. Then he said since we have no bookings we can only sit on the high chairs, when he clearly noticed our difficulty with the kids. We asked if he can switch one of the bookings to the high chair, his response was the bookings "typically" would want normal seating - clearly the bookings didn't specifically ask for the normal seating. We then asked if we can have one of the empty normal seats for 1 hour as we are typically a quick diner. He looked at the screen for 1 second and said all bookings arriving at 6pm. Shocking attitude and clearly didn't want us to be there! Our boy left with disappointment and felt intimidated by the unwelcoming gesture. Needless to say we walked past later and the restaurant is still empty!!!

My Kids like this Place. I preferred it in the Old Location. Like that you DON'T have to Order via App and get stuck with Hidden FEES for Paying by Credit Cards. You can Pay by EFTPOS and still Claim your Membership Rewards. DON'T like the fact they Charge you $2 for Substituting Thick Chips from Shoestring Fries. They are BOTH Potatoes. Like you can get the Rest of your Meal Takeaway too. Also they have a Good Kids Menu too.

Literally the worst dining experience I've had in Australia. It's the first time I'm giving a restaurant in Australia a review other than 5-star. Although there were many free tables at the restaurant, we stayed in the queue for 15 minutes. The service was terrible. The staff were very young and there was noone to manage them. The table was dirty when we arrived and they didn't clean it. They forgot to bring us forks and we had to ask them for fork. The food ingredients weren't fresh, and the food smelled like overused oil. I understand that currently in Australia there is staff shortage and it affected all buninesses, but we're eating out at least 4 times a week and we've never had such a bad dining experience in any restaurant before. I was actually very happy with TGIF in Dubai, but in Melbourbe, only a one star.

Bad, really really bad.. canteen quality food. Don’t waste your money. Ordered medium steak.. came out well done.. ordered salmon with the salad bowl, which didn’t come.. salad bowl looked like hospital grade food.. 40 minutes wait for this quality of food.. ridiculous. Service staff was nice though. Just don’t go for the food.
Mr. Smee
By far one of the worst experiences. Standing at the front for about 5 minutes with no one else waiting in line and multiple staff walking right past us. Sitting down to order we ordered and the food was atrocious. The mac and cheese loaded potato twisters sound like curly fries with mac and cheese right? WRONG! It is red rock deli chips with a handfull of cold mac and cheese. The burger was dry and heavy. The wings were vinegary and the garlic bread was cold! Honestly i felt quite sick after eating just a little bit of the food. I have contacted their email asking for a refund! I cannot with good conscience recommend this place at all.

Terrible. Went after watching Top Gun. Poor staff with lack of any guidance from a manager were running around like chooks with their heads cut off. Drinks took 30 minutes even after asking three or four times. My friend and I ordered Sirloin steak and I actually spat it out, yes it was that bad. Basically paid $38 for chips, which were cold. Staff members did not seem to care, offered me some fries to say sorry. I would have paid less but you are forced to pay up front. I asked two different staff members four times each for tomato sauce and they finally brought it out after we had finished. Staff asked if we wanted to have. Considering our poor experience I requested that he check if could get free desert, he went off to ask and never came back, so we left.

Hi guys, sorry but I had to change my review tonight, you are normally my go to place for ribs but tonight they were awful. Have you eaten your product recently? I have never had chewy ribs before. I bought some frozen ribs from Aldi and Woolworths recently and they were better than what we received from you tonight. Some food for thought.
Mark Twain
Food was absolutely atrocious for the insane price. Look at what they call "Spiraled golden fried potatoes". It's a scam, a packet of stale chips with a handful of microwaved Mac n cheese pooed out on top. Chicken Wings gave us food poisoning, I have already contacted support for an immediate refund. Never going to a TGI fridays ever again.
Ricky Eats
For years we came here for desert and to eat but now we moved but still come here now and again I like the food here. So if your near by with a friend I recommend it.
Stuart Cassidy
This has to be one of the worst experiences of my life. Be warned DO NOT EAT HERE!<br/><br/>We booked for a party of fifteen and when we arrived were told that they won’t be serving pizza tonight, as the oven isn’t working , no phone call to warn us that a pizza restaurant won’t be serving pizza. <br/><br/>Service was slow and unprofessional, the meals (not pizza) were below average. We were the only customers and our meals came out fifteen minutes apart. <br/><br/>Aside from all this our group was having a good time in each other’s company. At no stage were we approached to see a dessert menu or offered coffee. At five to nine the manager came up and rudely announced that it was time to leave because the staff wanted to go home. Wow! <br/><br/>When settling the account I said that I thought it was fair that we receive a discount as we couldn’t get pizza at a pizza restaurant and were not notified about it. The rude arrogant manager said “I don’t care, pay the bill!” Unbelievable. <br/><br/>I now understand why we were the only customers, don’t waste your time. Wait until this jerk goes out of business and the recruitment team at La Porchetta finds someone who understand the basics of being a decent human with some passion to deliver great customer service and maybe... just maybe a pizza? <br/><br/>We will not be back.

I created an account just to warn everyone not to go here if you value your health! Do not bother spending your money here!<br/><br/>On two occasions I've had food poisoning from eating the pizza after the new owner and management have taken over. Only a couple of days ago I have had a family member severely vomiting from eating the pizza and another having food poison.<br/><br/>This makes me question what their hygiene practices are as well as how the food is prepared and even stored.<br/><br/>I give NO stars (but had to put 1 star since it won't accept my review without) because this place has gone downhill and should be investigated by the health authorities.

This place is terrible. Such awful pizza. The meat is very dirty.<br/><br/>I have been there before since it was owned by Italian or Aussie. It was very nice at that time. Now this place is owned by Indian. Such a horrible place. Their waitress are very rude as well. I will never be there again.

Ate here last night, asked for steam rice with my chicken breast which isnt ever an issue at other La Porchetta restaurants as other dishes on the menu are served with steam rice .<br/><br/>Chef originally told me he cant spare any because they are only for risottos, i reviewed the menu and pointed out dishes that have a serve of steamed rice; chef then told me i must order the garlic prawns if i want a side of rice and he wont do it with the chicken breast.<br/><br/>Chef made me order an entire different dish if i wanted the steam rice, so in the end it cost me $38 in food so i could get some rice.<br/><br/>Do yourself a favour and go down to La Porchetta Donvale or Buoy Pizza in Kew (ex La Porchetta) for great service and good food.

A poor experience here... again. I don't know why I keep going back. It's not like they're as cheap as they once were.<br/><br/>When the current owners took over it was great. He and his wife would be there, they would have a chat and a joke, fuss over the kids... But now that they're no longer there and they've employed this weedy, unshaven dirty looking manager the place has gone totally downhill.<br/><br/>The food is ordinary and sooooo salty, the place is dirty. The waitresses are okay, as is the guy making the pizzas, but the manager on a Friday night is a complete jerk. Rude, arrogant, entitled (psst, you manage a pizza joint, so you can drop the attitude, buddy).<br/><br/>Give it a miss, try Pacino's just up the road. Traditional, family run, good people, great service, good food. Or the Crust in manningham, even the Domino's in Bulleen is cleaner and has nicer food and service, and that is saying something.<br/><br/>Keep away. It's a dive. Note to owner: a fish rots from the head down; so, apparently, do pizza restaurants. Get rid of this guy as soon as possible.

Porterhouse steak was cooked very well and the service is good . There was a mistake but quickly rectified . Salad was fresh and pleasant vinaigrette .
Rose Stewart
Worst pizza I have every had. All dry and burn't. Don't waste your money here. <br/>No customer service.
Kon Bochrinis
Very ordinary. In fact. Not good at all. I'm still at the venue. I was so disappointed that I went to my App Store to get an app and notify my disappointment. <br/>They only got 1 point because they have just given us complimentary ice cream because we had to wait 6 minutes for a waiter even though the place was empty for a Friday night. <br/>Not coming here again. I should have read the reviews before I came, or noticed that the car park was empty. <br/>

Ordered the cannelloni online and it was waiting for me when I went to pick it up. Cannelloni was good lots of sauce, had some watery stuff coming out though. Overall it was tasty.
Maddy Graceson
We had the marinara pizza which i was disappointed they did not use fresh (even from frozen) seafood mix, but i was not surprised as alot of places do that even though seafood mix is not expensive. Also had a capriciosa which was tasty enough, nothing special about either of them but ok for the price. But what i found off putting was they seemed to use heaps of oil, its really not necessary & made the pizza too fatty, ugh. You can tell its too much oil when you can see residue on the tray & on top of the pizza which should have dried up in the cooking process. Service was adequate.
Glen Waldron
I have been coming here for a long time now for lunch and I must say that my overall impression is quite positive. The service is great and the Pizzas are even better than my local pizza place that has won a couple of awards. I have read some quite harsh comments however this is not my experience the greeting is always friendly and the staff are attentive. Keep up the good work. I will be back no problem.

WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND TO ANYONE<br/>We had been here before we knew it was basic cuisine but this experience was unbelievably bad. Wait staff were poorly organised in regards to ordering,understanding the menu and speaking the  english language.They forgot to bring drinks and dessert for my child and our three main meals came at separate times more than five minutes or so apart.My partner asked for a Medium rare steak...that ended up as a rubbery slab of overcooked meat.We had even had two wait staff double check how he wanted it cooked after the first one forgot to ask...so why bother when it wasn't as requested ?? I ordered basic old spaghetti bolognese and have never tasted such a flavourless watery pasta,sauce straight out of a can I think.It wasn't basic it was unedible.My four year old today is vomiting and I've no doubt in my mind this meal is the reason why.Manager knew our experience was poorly but at counter the comment cards had no pen or pencil beside them for us to write on.Id never ever go here again and it seems the wait staff have minimal training...our waitress couldn't even comprehend orders orpronounce  "bolognese" correctly....slightly worrying.Come on get your act together front and back of house...a poorly delivered service by everyone associated with this place.Cutting costs it seems in every way and now my child's sick to top off one of the worse family dinners out I've ever experienced.<br/>.
Jeanette Vu
Food wasn't great. It lacked flavour and didn't have the traditional tastes of Italian food. Instead it was bland. However the staff was quite nice and the food came out relatively quickly.
"JT" Jeffrie Trika
Great location, easy parking a good conversation of the former Pizza Hut.<br/><br/>When was the last time we were there?<br/><br/>Hhmmm ..... some 4 years ago, maybe time to come back?
Mochhahu
Food was average. Staff not particularly friendly. Sat right outside kitchen, was quiet hot. Nothing special, normally come here when craving for pasta but can't be bothered driving to Lyon St.
Blueberrypie
Terrible food. Very little - almost no cheese and the taste is very bland. The pasta was very watery. We had to remind the wait staff that we were still there a few times. Price does not equal quality of food.
Linda Feng
I just experienced the worse customer service. Did a take away order, when we got to the place the price we paid for was not the price we saw on our take away menu, naturally we raised the issue with the staff member. Granted that we had an old menu, but the price different was more than we would've paid for had the staff member who took our order actually gave us the total cost of our order; the whole thing could have been avoided before we even got to the restaurant.<br/><br/>But of course the staff there refused to admit that it was partially their fault and pins on the customers the fact that our menu was old. When I asked the lady "so you dont tell your customer how much they are suppose to pay", and she responds "no, we don't tell customers, unless they ask". She then goes on offering us $2 off the order, and "not any lower than that" because of course we are low petty customers that she can get rid of with a $2 coin. What a joke. If she was even remotely trying to satisfy her customers, she would not have even suggested that. Her attitude and response just angered me even more. <br/><br/>Absolutely appalling customer service.
Venu
Have ordered from here a few times. Food is presented like a dog's breakfast and tastes worse than that. Not safe for humans or animals alike. I'd stay away from this place and visit the pancake parlour or pappa rich next door.
Jess
First time I have been here and also the last time I will be here! Staff is rude! Pasta isn't nice and it is tasteless. We have ordered a pizza but how come the pizza has salted fish on it? Head office should come here and have a taste, my suggestion is please make it better or shut the business! Thanks!

La por-shit-a. Went here last night for dinner, had only just finished our dinner and glass of wine when the waitress (rudest waitress I've ever met) slams the bill on the table and walks away. Um excuse me who said we didn't want another drink or dessert? Did you even bother to ask? No. You cost your self some money there... all because it was a Saturday night and you wanted to close early. Don't run a restaurant or work at one if you don't want to work a Saturday night. I even heard the waitress say "are you f**king kidding me?" As a family walked in to get a table. Very unprofessional and Rude, will not return and I'll make sure to let other know of your rude staff and appalling service.
Scrapi
HEAD OFFICE NEEDS TO GO HERE & TRY THERE OWN FOOD !!! BAD BAD BAD, NO FLAVOR AT ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!. If i was the owner of the La Porchetta franchise i would send different staff members to every store every couple of months & sample the food to make sure your company is up too standard !!! Clearly no-ones doing it. COME ON PICK YOUR ACT UP !!!!!!!!!!! How the hell is DONCASTER LA PORCHETTA STILL IN BUSINESS ???? The food is appalling, no taste, no flavor, I'm no chef but, a touch of crack pepper or a pinch of salt or garlic does pick a meal up. The chefs need to be sat down by the owner & all these problems addressed. You only have to read the urbanspoon comments & know thats theres something seriously wrong. I'm sure you can see in your takings that business is'nt doing very well. Good Food, Good Takings..............Simple.
Chimera92
Poor standard of spaghetti(seafood). Ordered a pizza (Not bad) and a seafood spaghetti (utter rubbish), when I saw the spaghetti, I immediately knew it was not going to be good as it looked too plain. Upon bringing it home and try it, it had no salt and not enough olive oil. It just tasted like boiled seafood and spaghetti. How could you call yourself an Italian restaurant when you cannot even get the most simple dish right? Shameful.

Terrible atmosphere. Went there for a group event and the girl organising made an honest mistake in booking extra seats. We told the manager and he was rude about it, humiliating her in front of our group. It was honest mistake and we're sorry we cost you some business, but I think you could have been a little more polite about it. It soured the mood of the meal for the next hour or so, although the staff were friendly enough to us, but there was a sense of fear with them. The girl across from me couldn't even finish her chicken and spaghetti, barely eating half the plate. The couple near our table also complained about the pizza, which did not give a good vibe to the meal. No split bill either, which was tough for 16 people to work out the exact change. The food was not worth the money, the atmosphere was fairly negative. Going to Pancake Parlour next door was the biggest relief, felt a lot more cheerful and enjoyable there. La Porchetta Doncaster, pick up your game.

Disgusted. Do not eat here if you value your health

Miss smith. I bought a takeaway chicken Parma the other night it was about 9pm , it was disgusting for $22 , I don't care what time if day it is , I deserved more than the chips that had been sitting in the chip bowl for god knows how long , bad chefs hate doing fresh chips when their shift is nearly over . A good chef will treat every meal with respect . I doubt there chefs , just overpaid cooks . Not happy , will be telling the world
Lisa Amato
Staff??. What is up with the staff? My waitress was very negative and did not smile once, actually only when my friend said keep the change on the bill. I work in customer service myself so know what is expected but they seem like they just take ur money and don't care about the service at all. Learn how to please your audience!! Did not feel welcomed, will not be returning
Mulyadi.robin
Worst pasta ever. Minimal salt.. Minimal taste.... My dog wouldn't even touch this crap.<br/><br/>I'm sorry but this is not food. <br/><br/>When your staff say that the food is cooked bland so that the customer can add salt to themselves, that's just appalling.<br/><br/>I'm Sure that the la porchetta name should not be dragged through the mud like this.<br/><br/>And customer service.. Is the best of all... <br/><br/>I'm happy to talk to the owners, and get a refund... Email me.
KoaMa
Only garlic bread had taste. It's one thing to be a mid price range pasta restaurant, but when your likely store bought garlic bread had more taste than your in kitchen cooked, bland carbonara and bolognese; you really need to reassess your taste buds
Helen Shu Wang
Terrible food.i ordered a fried calamari with chips on side.the calamari r over cooked nd the chips are soft .........
Special Delivery
This food may have been acceptable about 10years ago however when comparing with what is available today;this is low grade slop. The service was deplorable as well.

Worst experience ever. We went to La Porchetta because it claimed to be kid friendly. Due to allergy risk, I specially rang up to check if they cater for people with allergy and the guy who answered the phone said they will do their best. They can even make Pizza without cheese and had no complain ever. So we went. It was totally different to our expectation. When we made the order, the waitress basically said they could not do anything with the food so we had to end up ordering the something simple. She was not even patient in helping us to make the order. So the person with the allergy had to go home still hungry. Another thing to do with kid-friendliness. Since we had several kids, so of course they would not sit still when finished eating but since there were only two tables left (including ours) so we let them walk around a bit. But we were told that they couldn't go to the area next to our table because they had swept the flour already. So how kid-friendly could it be if you wouldn't even let the kids walk around a bit, even if they were not disturbing anyone other than some empty tables and chairs? I am quite happy to tick La Porchetta off my dining list as their food was not great, not friendly, not accommodating and no help at all.
Little.mia
WHAT'S UP PIZZA EH?. I Went to la porchetta doncaster recently and have the staff changed? it looks different. the food was ok but used to be alot better.The waiters were friendly but weren't sure of things when i asked them about the dishes,they seemed lost.This is a fantastic restaurant normally with good food. I am a regular here and want to come back...
Quarter Of A Pounder
Avoid unless really hungry. Very plain tasting food ever..<br/>Now I do enjoy good food and environment..<br/>but here has none of the above..<br/>Food is just like a microwave type taste...<br/><br/>unless you want to treat an enemy don't go here
AH
Absolutely awful. While the food was always just very very average (it is slightly disconcerting when you take leftovers home and it no longer has taste after just a few hours), what stuck the nail in the coffin for me is the appalling service I received the last time I came here. I have never come across such rude and unhelpful staff and you couldn't pay me enough money to return.
Joel
I will never take my family here or any other La Porchetta chain. The Doncaster chain showed a disinterest in making the customer 1st priority. I'm shocked and alarmed how this place is still in business????!<br/>If you have a family and are looking for a family restaurant, avoid his place like the plague!<br/>The service is pitiful and the food quality, well, let's just say that I don't qualify their food as "food".<br/><br/>Pathetic.
CS
Wow, haven't been this offended in a long time. we turned up at 8:30 hoping for a quick meal and would have been easily achievable in 30 min before they closed. there was a chinese girl behind the drinks counter snapping and making faces about them closing in half an hour. i said it would only take us ten minutes to eat and she muttered something under her breath. we were left standing for another 5 min before someone gave us menus (she was a younger girl alot nicer), and then a bigger guy who i assume runs the place emphasized they close at 9 again and when we asked if that meant we couldn't eat there just gave us a sarcastic shrug as he walked away... i mean seriously?! if u don't want our business tell ua straight up instead of brushing us off and leaving us standing there for so long. how are u going to stay in business with people working there with such bad attitudes... im turned off all la porchetta chains. there are too many other places around to bother with this establishment again.

A distjustice to Italian Culture. Went in for lunch with the family, ordered pizza and stuffed focaccia. One would think not much could go wrong! Pizza was tasteless, sauce on the Margherita was inedible, clearly just scooped out of a tin. The stuffed focaccia was raw inside , and not edible. Kids wanted ice-cream but no one around to assist , so they went without. Questioned the raw dough to the waitress, who told me that it was fine, a baker and pastry chef by trade , I know the difference between cooked and raw! Instead of apologising and appeasing the customer , the waitress continued to argue with me. No professionalism at all. Quality of the food in this establishment is a disgrace and insult to all Italians. I truly believe Italian food should be cooked by Italians. Will never return to any La Porchetta ever.
Phoebe Fairman
Went here last night with some friends and got pasta with garlic pizza. When it come out it didn't look anyway near as nice like my pure favorite Italian place. The sauce was supposed to be a tomato sauce with basil but it was so disgusting i couldn't eat it. The chefs were clearly not Italian! It was in doncaster. Never going back or to any other la Porchetta.
Cat Hall
Won't come back again.. Had dinner in La Porchetta yesterday 4 people including myself. <br/><br/>Food was horrible. <br/><br/>1. Fettucini was tasteless and cooked way past al dente. <br/>2. Calamari looked like from a frozen supermarket packet as were the chips. This came with kraft single serve sauce and tartare. <br/>3. 2 people had veal scallopini with pepper sauce. the sauce was awful, too cheesy and creamy and literally hundreds of pepper corns on top. Steamed vegetables were just thrown on the plate and was 90% carrot. <br/>4. We were all going to have desert however after the plates were cleared we were ignored for over 15 minutes despite having told the waitress we would have desert. Ended up leaving without any.<br/><br/>This is not just a rant and rave, we have been several time since it's opening. It started off well (the usual La Porchetta experience) however the last 2 visits have been less than inspiring. Will not be going back.
Dave The Diner
457 Visa staff!. Well this is clearly a business where the only interest is to take an order (if you are able to navigate the language barrier) and get you fed take your money and on your way. Food was OK but warmth, understanding of the menu and an understanding of Western food culture would be helpful! No front disabled parking, possibly staff parked in front, had to walk disabled family up from 100M away, never again! These people would be better off with a restaurant where the clientele are more Eastern perhaps, a big stretch to embrace Italian!.
David Eyre
Idiot staff!. I'm in the industry, and look for the best in any dining out experience. <br/>But there was none!<br/>After being asked five times for my order when I was still 1/2 way through looking at the menu, I was so incensed by the insensitivity of the poorly trained staff, I walked out.<br/>I'm now enjoying the professionalism and the food of the Pancake Parlour next door. Much better food, service, and beverages.. Try the Mexican Beef Crepes! :-))
Savanna454
Dreadful. Awful service and rude with it. Food best described as mediocre. My salad had obviously been prepared earlier and was dried out. They got our order wrong and asked us if we would accept the item which we did as the kids were hungry. They then tried to charge us the extra for the wrong item! When I told them it was their mistake they reluctantly adjusted the bill with lots of eye-rolling. The Tunstall Square outlet is so much better. Never again
Coby
Not my thing. If one of our kids have earned the right to choose a meal out, and they wanted to go here (and they might), we'd probably go again, but only for the kids!
GordonRamseyFan
Ordered a couple of takeaway pizzas & a pasta - you'd think "you can't go wrong, right?" but not here! They were horrible. Pizzas were dry & tasteless. Pasta not much better. Would not go here again.
The Wog
8/2/13 - walked in for dinner, was seated, and then forgotten about. 10 minutes passed by without even an request for drinks. I counted 8 staff standing around looking like lost sheep. Very Disappointing. Suggestion to everyone; drive to Tunstall Square La Porchetta and have dinner there. It might be further out for some, but you'll be sure to enjoy your food (and service)!
MaryD
MaryD. Extremely disappointing. With very fond memories of La Porchetta in Box Hill, thought I'd give LP in Doncaster a whirl. Food was edible - just. Not even appealing to the eye. Place was empty (lunchtime). No wonder.
Alannah
The service is horrible there. Asked for tomato sauce to go with my chips and got told i had to pay for it. Got a $24 steak and found a mosquito in it and only $3.90 was taken off the bill. Absolutely disgusting will never return.
Michael
The quality of service and food was quite good about a year ago but has dropped drastically. I used to go here fortnightly and had noticed the quality of the food slipping. The final straw was when We were given a table and after twenty minutes we hadn't even been asked if we'd like drinks, despite making eye contact etc with waiters. We walked out and won't be back. Too many better options in the area
Franko Cotso
Pizza not good been many times base is moist and under cooked , pasta is to creamy n clearly microwaved cheap pizza but pay for what you get Kew are a little better but the best La Pocheta is the one in Carlton which is 10000 times better
Mtmcgw
Quick cheap and fast. Great place for quick cheap and fast Italian food.
Phil
Great for a quick cheap meal! In and out in 30 mins and around $10 per head.
Kelly
Only for dessert. Birthday dinner for 10. <br/>Service was lovely, accommodated for all our needs - even turned up the air con. Food however, was average. Ordered antipasto for one - very salty and cheese was bland, gourmet salmon pizza was VERY salty, same with my friends salmon pasta - if you order pizza, stick to something traditional like meatlovers, mushrooms or margarita.<br/>Dessert was very nice, although presentation needs to be improved. Baci was really nice, along with chocolate mousse.<br/>Overall: Service 7, Food 6, Price 7.5
Kristy_tupperware
Excellent. We went to Laporchetta for the first time in about two years. The food accomodated the whole families taste buds from steak to salads and pizza. <br/>The food was delicious with very generous portions for your money. Chicken with mushroom was so moist and delicious I ate the whole thing (im not a big eater) and the pizza was so well presented and tasty.<br/>Best pizza in the area 10/10
SCORPIO
Mc Porchettas. AKA Mc porchettas,as they are the McDonalds of the pizza industry.....cheap,nasty followed by a sore stomach....buyer beware !
Matt
I have been there twice. And both times wasn't fully satisfied with the food. The first time I had a ravioli napolitana and the sauce tasted cheap pasta was normal. The second time I went ordered a salmon carbonara and wasn't hot was Luke warm. The sauce wasn't rich I have definately had better and maybe the pasta was not cooked quite enough. Quite average Italian food. Maybe if I go again I will try the pizzas. Apart from that service was normal, desserts are good. If you live in the Doncaster area go to the la porchetta in greensborough. I have been there loads of times and have nothing negative to say about that one.
Matthew Trompf
Bad food and pleasant staff. The staff were very friendly and the dessert I had was delicious.but I found that the food was very salty so I couldn't eat it so I am definitely not going back there.
Restaurant Critic
Never Again.. Plain bread has more flavour than their pizzas. Don't order the marinara unless you like eating sand. Don't bother telling them that its bad because THEY DON'T CARE.
T Mars
Poor excuse for 'italian' food.
