The service is a bit random, but if you give someone a wave they will attend to you. You are made to feel like part of the family. It is one big open space, so it can be noisy, but this does seem to contibute to the atmosphere. Alberto is a character and little off the wall, but to eat here was a pleasure.

I went for the Big Cheese, not disappointed with the levels of cheese and also a sauce dip of cheese sauce to the side, yummy! Cajun fries didn't look at that, but were well tasty. It arrived quickly too. Definitely happy to go back and try their other burgers out!

Not sure if at the time of you reading this the water park and ice rink all in Leisure World will still be open or not. But i digress we used this Pizza Hut last week before seeing a film and of course went for the pizza buffet option. Like most Pizza Huts the buffet was a bit hit & miss there'd not be much pizza out then when a fresh batch is knocked up everyone rushes there at once. The customer service was good, they're always polite here but I always get the impression they're under staffed. Leave yourself plenty of time if you're going here before seeing a movie next door.

I also think their prices are pretty reasonable for Harpenden and their Lunch specials are awesome! Pasta or pizza, with garlic bread and a soft drink for 7.99 is a pretty good deal. I also think they have the best pizza in town.
As authentic as it gets, and equally vegan and vegetarian friendly. They had awareness about…read morevegetarian and non-vegetarian cheeses, they have a separate vegan menu, and specials had a vegan dessert. Can't fault anything food wise, even the portion size was enough to please a Texan. Service was exceptional, very attentive, hardworking and never forgetting to smile, very pleasant people. Decor looks new and modern even though the place has been going for ages, and that's the secret of their success, they have adapted very well to changing tastes and preferences. Also, we were some of the last guests there, kitchen had closed for orders, but boy were the chefs hard at work cleaning every shelf and glass. As if I needed another reason to like them.

The toppings were pretty slim as the cheese didn't hit most of the slices. They didn't apologize or try to rectify so service also a 2.

I happened to be passing the other day and hadn't even realised it had opened.

DeAngelis stocks a range of luxury chocolates, including one that contains 99% cocoa, which he explained he uses in cooking (for example in meat dishes!) and a handmade range.
We love the bright and warm look of our place

We were staying close by and the restaurant we really wanted to go to was all booked up- not accepting walk ins. As we were very hungry and had to feed an 8 year old we settled on Pizza Express. The staff was ok- not overtly nice. There was no wait on a Friday night around 7 pm. The food came fairly quickly. All the adults agreed pretty generic food. My dough bites needed more garlic and m tomato and mozzarella needed more flavor too. My cousin and husband split a pizza and after one slice my cousin did not go back for more. It was a disappointing meal. We were looking for something better on our last night on vacation and this place didn't deliver.

We spent a bit too much time in a pub before and it got quite late. Close to our place we passed this little fast food shop. Went in to get some Chicken Wings and a Burger. More fast food items and Pizza are on the menu too. The Burger was not really good. A bit small, a bit flat....not much going on here. The big chains surely do it better. The Wings were fine though. But it really was cheap, cost us only a few pounds and the staff was very friendly. Sure not the best option, but - considering the price - ok for a quick take-out to fill your stomach.

It actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting, being previously horrified by many of the little off-license pizzerias around Islington. While it was no Gino's or Giordano's (in Chicago...crazy amazing pizza. I recommend THOSE as well...back to the point), it was almost on par with Papa John's or Pizza Hut. I was especially appreciative of all the cheese on my double cheese pizza. Delivery time was really good too, I had my pizza within 20 minutes. Amazing considering they travelled from N19 to NW1. Overall, this place is great for late night munchies, drunk or sober.
