Simply Pizza is the only independent pizza shop in Carrickfergus, and they offer authentic Italian…read morestyle pizzas for delivery or takeaway. They have the usual variety of toppings available, such as meats, cheeses, tuna, anchovies, olives etc, for you to make your own pizza, and also have a menu of set toppings, like Margherita and Pepperoni, to name but a few! I got a take out from here and it was delicious, there's nothing quite like an authentic Italian pizza, what with all these chain pizza stores around. I was very disappointed though, on the two occasions I ordered for a delivery from them. The first time, I placed the order, then got on with a number of other things I had to do and promptly put the order to the back of my mind. Two hours later I got a phonecall to say that they had forgotten about my order and just come across the order slip, and did I still want it? I said yes, because I had forgotten about it also and just realised that I was absolutely ravenous, despite this, it still took around an hour for the pizza to come, and it was cold. The second time, I was at a friends house, and a crowd of us were getting ready before we went out and ordered a pizza in. Everytime we called we were told it was on it's way (unlikely as we live less than 10 minute drive from the shop) after an hour and a half, we had waited long enough and had to cancel it. I do love the pizzas from Simply Pizza, but I would recommend collecting it in person!

This…read morerestaurant is hands down the most beautiful amazing authentic Italian restaurant I've eaten at in years. You know maybe the pandemic has made my heart heavy and lonely but my stomach is in complete delicious delight and 11 out of 10 contentment. Take my breath away at how I'm just speechless at the awe of how the execution concept and passion at display! The appetizers! Just wow. Rice balls absolutely authentic! My Sicilian mother and godmother would cry as if their childhood was touched. The pork belly was impressive as well my friend Mark loved it! Entrees! Lamb is a beautiful thing. Never underestimate it. This lamb was so well made I could taste the orchestrated symphony of flavors hot my palate. My friend Mark's pasta was also to the same effect. Dessert. Pistachio cheesecake is the most Italian NY dish ever to graced my graces. My friend Mark's tiramisu... I've made it before and absolutely blushing in flattering graces! Overall that 1 star review is garbage. The reviewer probably was divorced the night they wrote their trite tired overwrought high school excuse of a existence. Bottom line listen to this Sicilian descendants word. This restaurant is the real deal. Do not and I repeat do not!!!!! Pass up this restaurant!!!!! Go here!!! You owe it to yourself!!! Yes this restaurant isn't in Italy whatever that's not the point. The point is this restaurant is the only Northern Ireland restaurant that knows Italian cuisine. Also the waitress Cassandra is an absolute delight as well! She recommended the wines and drinks and you know food service is absolutely all about the restaurant experience!!! I'll say it again!!! Go here!!! Eat this food!!! You will thank yourself!!! Your soul will thank yourself!!! Thank you readers for reading. I hope my next restaurant is just as well executed. The next place has a high bar to compete with. Thank you! Castello Italia it has been a pleasure! Chef's kiss! Bon appetit!

A friend mentioned this place was in Carrickfergus and I was excited to try it. Upon arriving we…read morerealized that there is a cafe - open from 9 every morning, and a restaurant, open from 5pm. Since it was lunch time, we walked in to the cafe and stood at the counter waiting for someone to welcome and seat us. Standing drooling and looking at all the amazingly presented tray bakes, it wasn't immediately obvious if they served lunch. In fact, were it not for the other customers in the cafe I'd think it was closed as the staff, despite walking back and forward behind the counter, had left us standing staring and were busting themselves - and yes, they had seen us. Husband spotted menus, so I grabbed one, confirmed they served food and I actually had to ask the lady behind the counter whether or not we could seat ourselves. She stared at me gormlessly and a man came out and said "are you here for lunch?" I said yes, do we seat ourselves? And he said sit anywhere. I grabbed another menu for husband and we sat, no one came near us for a long time. The vibe wasn't right at all. We were surrounded by people chatting and drinking tea but the staff were inattentive or just didn't care at all. After an extended period of time my husband said, I don't like it in here, I asked if he wanted to leave - he's NEVER like that, so I was astonished when he got up and said yes. So we left the delicious display of tray bakes behind and left. So, so disappointing. The menu looked great, on street parking, enough ice cream and cakes and tray bakes to shake a stick at, but either we had our invisibility cloaks on, or were just being ignored. I'm glad business is so good for them that they can just ignore customers, but it's not my kinda scene.

There is a great selection of pizzas available and also a large range of sides, to rival what is on offer from the larger chain outlets. We decided to go for the meat feast, dough balls, and garlic bread. I ordered online and the food arrived within the specified time, so great service from that end, however we were extremely disappointed with the food. The garlic bread was basically a small pizza base with some garlic oil/garlic butter melted into it, it was so hard, it would have given you lockjaw trying to eat it, so after one bite, that was binned. The dough-balls were fine, if not a little hard/tough, and the pizza itself was slightly burnt, and just didn't taste that nice... I have heard good reports from other people about Oven Guerrilla, so I wonder if I maybe just got them on a bad night, but I can only review based on my experience!

I decided to give it a go one weeknight when I didn't fancy cooking, and before I left work, I placed an order via their website, to be collected on my way home. I ordered two medium Pizzas, paid online, and that was that. I arrived at the store as planned on my way home from work and the pizzas weren't ready, that wasn't a problem, so I sat and waited, and the pizzas were ready approx 15 minutes later. I checked the boxes before I left and unfortunately they had got one of our pizzas totally wrong. I pointed this out to the guy and in fairness he did offer to rectify it, but I didn't fancy waiting even longer for the pizza to be remade, so I just took them as they were. The pizzas themselves tasted fine.

There's loads of benefits to ordering Four Star - First up if you order online and spend over £30 your order is discounted by 20%. They also have far greater choice and a more creative menu than Dominos. We went for the 16 inch 'Feed the Meater' pizza which at £17 was a snip. Jam packed with chicken and pepperoni and easily foldable we definitely made the manly choice. You can order you pizzas as part of a meal deal and get even further discount on side orders. We went for wedges (a little soggy) and curly fries. The sides weren't great to be honest but sides rarely travel well so we'll let them off. Another bonus is the order arrived with us about 15 minutes after ordering - the shop is only about 5 minutes away but that service is still super speedy. All in all a good takeaway - really greasy so if you're health conscious you may want to swerve it but if you're having a few beverages on a Saturday night it's spot on. Keep an eye on your post box too - they are constantly sending out good deals.

Today is National Pizza day and I had the privilege of spending a couple of hours with Scott, who…read morealong with his wife Jamie, own 6 Four Star Pizza shops in North,South,East and West #Belfast as well as #Newtownabbey and #Carrick. Scott told me that his love for Pizza grew from his various trips to the #USA where he learnt about pizza. He then came back to #NI and met Jamie and opened 1st store in East #Belfast in 1999 after working for another well known #Pizza chain. They've never looked back. They are both hands on and it's 7 days a week and long hours-they've about 150 staff!! Four Star head office is in #Dublin and is owned by the #Fitzwilliam #hotel group. Running a pizza shop isn't cheap but I can say that each #oven is £25k and this shop has two. The pizzas and all other food takes 5 1/4 minutes to go through at 475oF. The big #USP is that Four Star have #doughologists. In Newtownabbey The doughologist is called Robyn and she is responsible for preparing fresh dough daily. They use strong wheat flour from Neill's, who are celebrating 150 years this year. Water and oil is mixed with salt, sugar and flour and then yeast and mixed for 15 minutes. The dough then proves for 48 hours before use. For #glutenfree there are rice flour bases. All the other ingredients are freshly delivered by Musgrave so all ingredients are locally sourced and traceable. Scott was saying the menu changes four times a year and this year they are using a local relish Ballymaloe. I had the opportunity of making tonight's dinner!! I made a #pepperoni pizza (kids), a spicy #chicken on (for my wife) and a super hot #chorizo and #jalapeno pizza for me.....mmmmm Finally Scott made me a "#flip" which is a thin base with sauce, #pulledpork, jalapeño and #sriracha and folded over and cooked-it is cheeseless. It tasted great!!!! Big thanks to Scott and Jamie for arranging this. Also if you order online directly or call you will get better deals than if you use Just Eat. Scott and Jamie are also very good at helping local #charities.
