Visited on Wednesday 14th July for a garlic bread and a pizza. The garlic bread was awesome and the four seasons pizza was spot on. The place was getting quite busy by the time we arrived but the service was fast and we had our meals served asap with no dramas. Highly recommend.
I had a Pizza Calzone which was easily the worst meal I have had in ten years in Sydney. Soggy, cheesy, disgusting ham and sausage topped with a tasteless tomato sauce (actually just diced tin tomatoes). The meal was so bad that I felt sick on the way home whenever I thought about it. The quality of ingredients is basically the same as buying black and gold stuff from your IGA.
If you enjoy their food, save yourself the money, buy a frozen pizza and you will be better off. If you don't, for the same money go to a real pizzeria and get something enjoyable. Considering the lack of quality this place is an absolute rip off. The steady stream of tourists will keep it going, though.
Have visited Zia Pina for years and always enjoyed it, but my visit today was horrendous: slow, disinterested staff, bland food, and to make matters worse, while waiting to use the toilet there, I observed a staff member emerging from the toilet who didn't wash his hands. Lovely. Won't ever be visiting there again.
Food was pretty average as the garlic bread came out as garlic pizza which was awful. The dessert was rock solid frozen and took ages to defrost. Service and ambience was good tho.
I had garlic bread which was the worst in my life, they put garlic butter on base of pizza, not on bread, also very thin glass filled with flat coke. I hope they don`t cheat customer any more.
Its a pizza restaurant and its does pizza ok, but really don't order anything else on the menu, the pasta is completely without flavour and the sauces very watery, the non-pizza menu is an afterthought at best. The true tragedy is disinterested and sometimes rude staff, however, which I am not surprised to learn is a common theme in these reviews.
Waiting for a table is done on the street. Once you actually get in, you have to cajole the waiter into taking your order, we spent about 20 minutes waiting, captured a passing waiter, were told tersely "in a minute", waited a further 10 minutes, ordered some drinks that never arrived. If it hadn't been first night of the festival and everywhere was packed out, I would've given up and gone somewhere else.
Cheap and cheerful, a good stop for a post pub meal. They managed to accommodate a group of 15 on a Friday night at 15 minutes notice (perhaps, this is a bad sign?). Anyway, we found the service to be great, the food perfectly adequate and the bill - $25 pp including wine, very acceptable. BTW the garlic bread is divine but certainly not for anyone precious about garlic, it's full on!
Seems to be a place to be taken at face value and certainly not too seriously. Would go back.
Many years ago this restaurant used to be really good value pizza. Now it is horrible, the side salad was just iceberg lettuce, floury tomato 1 slice cucumber and bottle sour dressing. They have commercial radio on really loud with constant commercials, hardly any music. The staff were quite rude when we requested some music rather than ads. Pizza was tasteless and the pizza dough a strange flavour! We have ruled it out forever, don't go!
