Adam Payne18 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had takeaway this evening and after craving authentic Italian pizza, this definitely hit the spot!!! We called 10 minutes before they were due to open and they were still happy to take our order. The food was ready in just over ten minutes and I was greeted at the door by a very happy, smiling young lady 🙂 the pizza was excellent, and service was great!! I will definitely be visiting to a sit down meal when I next visit Hayle. Rachael Winifred16 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hats off to the kind and funny staff who made room for a table of what ended up to be more than 14 diners at very short notice. We didn't wait at all long for drinks and food and there was no confusion or mistakes about our orders despite our great number! Really good, warm experience and extremely professional. I had the vegan pasta and it was lovely, my family loved their meals too, not a single bad review. Thank you.

Will Armstrong26 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ordered takeaway pizzas 2x whilst on holiday at the St Ives resort. Best pizza I have had anywhere and they were ready fast and the staff were really friendly too. Strongly recommend it. Chris Hodgson20 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a really good family meal here on the last day of our holiday. Based entirely on reviews we thought we’d give it a try last minute. We were able to book last minute, which judging by the popularity when we arrived I’d say is essential. The food was amazing, so tasty, with excellent and welcoming staff. The views are lovely - it was a bit chilly to sit outside but we were given an indoor table. Very well priced for the quality, and much nicer for food and atmosphere than anywhere in St Ives or more popular towns we visited in the area. You can park for free after 16:00 in the library car park a minute’s walk away. Definitely recommend.
