I was hoping for something between a Gail’s and a Homeslice. I had heard the owners were going for a brunch style menu with lots of pastries and woodfired pizza by night. All sounds amazing right?
So we walk in and it’s nicely fitted out. A little messy but the assumption is that they were eager to finally open and hadn’t quite got around to finding a place for everything.
We sit down & look at the menu. Top section is breakfast/​brunch that ends at 1pm. Middle section is sandwiches & pizza that go from 12pm to 4pm and the bottom section is the woodfired dish of the day from 4.30 onwards.
We decide on two pizzas (goats cheese, pickled onion & potato plus a ham, tomato & basil) and a focaccia sandwich with ham, lettuce, tomato & Mustard Mayo.
The pizza toppings should work really well but the goats cheese pizza had a little too much pickled onion & the ham pizza had great big chunks of tomato dumped on top after cooking the pizza. So in the first instance the ratios are all wrong & in the second the lovely tomatoes do nothing but slide off the pizza as you eat. Annoying. The table next to us got the other pizza on offer and it had a forest of kale which I can only imagine overpowered the other toppings.
Service was very casual. While everyone is friendly it could’ve been a bit more organised & professional.
I’m hoping that the owners will keep adapting & improving because we could do with having more options around here.
