Better than pizza hut, anyway! 27th September 2008

I admit, I'm not particularly partial to pizzas. Usually, they're greasy, doughy, and generally far too "fast foodish" to stomach. However, Gioberti's changes that a bit, and prepares freshly made, authentic pizza which is actually pretty good.

I've been here twice, but have sampled various pizzas having taken some friends along, too. They were all freshly made (not frozen like the stodge from Pizza Hut) and were truly thin and crispy - real Italiano!

The pizza tasted fresh and flavoursome, although was perhaps a little sparsley topped, so if you like your pepperoni you might be dissapointed. The prices were also mis-proportioned, with a single pizza to share rising above £10.

Good for an irregular Italian treat but not a regular visit.

I used to come to this restaurant regularly as a treat. The pizzas are not the cheapest, but are certainly nicer than your average pizza.
The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself, while small and busy, is also cosy and relaxed.
Recently the menu was changed slightly, and my favourite starter - king prawns in a tomato and chilli sauce, was removed from the menu. This was highly disappointing! Also, the pizza I had most recently was nowhere near the usual standard - I am hoping this was a blip though and will probably try the food again, just in case!
I do feel that the restaurant is slightly overpriced, but it retains its popularity, so you can hardly blame them for charging a lot!
