Prezzo Vouchers Discussion

Extracted from the Guardian earlier this month:

Pizza Hut with pretensions. Trash food for the professional classes (to judge by the diners filling the tables and waiting patiently by the bar). A disgrace to the nobility of pizza. Evening Special: Pizza Agrodolce. Special it was. Specially disgusting - ill-conceived, badly made, with a specially floppy, spongy base hardly touched by heat. The topping was especially dolce - sweet - but of the promised agro - sour - there was no trace. It was a thick, heavy, tasteless poultice of creamy cheese, tasteless tomatoes, characterless onions and God knows what else. It was impossible to see clearly in the stygian gloom. Certainly taste was no guide. The evening was saved by a) good espresso, which I poured over passable vanilla ice-cream; and b) a bottle of fine Morellino di Scansano. The service was a curious mixture of the surly, the charmless and the over-attentive. One for the collector.

Don't think he liked it much.

Out of all the similar restaurants, ie Zizzi, Ask and Pizza Express, i think Presso has the most varied menu, and their current off of BOGOF on main meals sunday-friday is a cracking saving Flea

I agree with this - the pasta dish I had was very tasty, it was a big portion but I'm not complaining!! I think it's a shame that service varies so much from one restaurant to the next depending on staff/management. The one I visited the staff were friendly, the place very nice.

I would recommend prezzos really nice food!

I have been to the one in yeovil and have tried the pasta with mushrooms, the half pizza folded over with pepperoni and the last meal i had there was for lunch and that was a chicken, pancetta bacon and avocado salad which was gorgeous

Def recommend it!

Prezzo in Port Solent is probably my favourite local restaurant. Consistently good quality and good value - made even better by the '2 for 1' offers! Can't understand the negative comment about the staff on this webite - I've always found them polite.

i went to prezzo (cockfosters) for the first time yesterday. have to say as per doozer's post, the portions are large! i was starving when i arrived and wondered whether to get myelf starters, but inthe end i thankfully saw sense (and saw i didn't have enough money!) and bought just mains - chicken in a creamy sauce with mushrooms & leeks with fries. i finished it but trust me it was struggle! food was really tasty and good value for money.

Can't possibly recommend Prezzo. First visit in Barnstaple with a group the orders were hopelessly mixed up and they didn't really care, the 2nd visit in Exeter was worse still - cold food and tinfoil in the fishcakes. Again, they just didn't care if we had a bad experience.

It says Sun - Fri on the moneysavingexpert website but then Sun - Thur on the prezzo website.

Which is the correct one please?

Oxford St in Southampton and Romsey are very good and have been several times.
I love Pane con Cipolla (caramalised onions) and Pollo al Funghi (mushrooms and spinach) and even better with the 2 for 1 vouchers.

Have just got back from Prezzo in Amersham, it was fairly busy for a Tue evening however the service was outstanding!

We had garlic bread with cheese and king prawns in a sauce for starters.
Meatball penne dish and a chicken penne dish for mains.
Sticky toffee pudd and Banana and toffee cheesecake for dessert.
Also had a bottle of their house white wine and I really liked it - approx £12.75

The meal was superb, very tasty - the waitress worked so hard and was excellent despite it being busy, we were never left waiting - she always popped by to check we were okay.

We are so impressed, we'll definately go back. Only been to the Reading one before and was a little worried as they can vary depending on management/staff but honestly can't praise enough!

Only thing was I was full by the time dessert came so didn't appreciate it, this could also be due to the lovely warm weather as well as the generous portions

I think that the quality and portions are much superior/bigger than Pizza Express and Zizzi
