Ponchinellos

We visited last night, about half an hour before the shop closed. Staff were very friendly, and although it was our first visit we barely even needed to look at the menu, as the person taking our order asked about our preferences and made very good recommendations, from the kind of pizza, to the thickness of the crust. They serve a unique taste, and with great quality, so much so that I really don't see the point in going to Domino's when this store is a few steps away. Better quality, better value, better service and you support a local business! Two adequately sized pizzas only set us back 19 quid. A great introduction for us, and we will certainly be returning.

Couldn't get through on the phone so drove down to find the place empty. Then told it was a 30min wait. Really wasn't worth it. Authentic not. Well the garlic tomato bread was nice but the margarita was basic at best and the spicy pork pizza lacked any spice at all. Both pizzas pretty flavourless. I suggest a visit back to Italy to remind themselves of what real pizza tastes like. Sadly, won't be returning. The next time I have pizza will be on my return to Italy.

Hi guys ! Went to ponchinellos Thursday night for what was supposed to be a nice meal inside the restaurant (not takeaway). To say we were disappointed was a understatement. The special ponchinellos pizza was not thin and crispy like requested (it was optional to have thin or deep) and nor was it even the slightest bit Italian, I should know as I'm Italian. And the pasta dish my partner ordered was served in the tin takeaway pots that it was cooked in. When dining at a restaurant you expect your food to come in proper dishes.. you know wine and dine. It tasted like a tin of chopped tomatoes with a bit of salt poured over the pasta with little mozzarella. It also appeared like it was cooked from frozen as the water separated from sauce sat at the bottom of the tray...again not authentic Italian food. As you can see from photos attached the "roast" potatoes were anything but roasted. They tasted like they were reheated and then sprinkled some rosemary and thyme over the top and grease i understand them to be a little oily to get them crisp but they were not crispy and were really greasy. The staff were pleasant and friendly and the place inside looked welcoming and clean. All covid rules were followed so felt relaxed. Just a shame the food was not up to standards.

I’ve been a customer for over 30 years and absolutely love their lasagna. That was until last night. There was hardly any pasta and very little meat! I know companies are having to cut back but I was not impressed. It was mostly tomato sauce.

Great idea to have a slice bar. Pizza from the shop and lots of drink and appetisers options. Decent sized slices at about a quarter of a pizza. 3 booth seats and a few tables very aptly decorated.
