I remember this place opening in 1979 and it was a breath of fresh air to the local eating scene…read more The meals and atmosphere were excellent. I made my second visit last weekend and a few things have changed - most notably my developing a gluten allergy. PM has an extensive GF menu and can make just about any pizza gluten free. My partner (also celiac) and I were disappointed with the GF based on our different pizzas. The sharp knives we were given would not cut through the bases - which were thin. We gave the feedback to the chef via our waitress, and hopefully this will be enough. My partner and I have had many GF pizzas over the years, but this base was the worst. Other than that, the experience on the whole was excellent - the pizza topping was really good, along with the accompanying tomato salad. We had GF sticky toffee pudding to finish and it was amazing. Couple bottles of excellent wine and good service completed the meal.

If you're going to eat pizza in Lancaster there is only one place to go first - Pizza Margherita…read more It's been open 30 years now, and has always had a good reputation for its food - a wide range of pizzas specials and more.

Yes was the answer and arrived there on the stroke of 12, it was empty and we occupied a window table in order to entice others inside and it seemed to work as 2 other couples took their place for some Sicilian fayre. Like most places you go to in the cold light of day it's never quite the same and Etna is no exception as we noticed the table cloth was still donning some pasata from the previous nights explioits but that's life and the owner was off on his jollies for a month of heaven in sicily whilst his establishment got the makeover treatment paintwise. Onto the food, Plain garlic bread was acceptable but i'd be lying if I said I hadn't had better as it was on the dry side and not enough garlic on view, The pizza order was much more agreeable and my wifes Etna was a revelation in both appearance and taste, My children had the Pescatora and this too was truly excellent. I myself rolled back the years and went for the classic Calzoni folded pizza but in reality I should have followed my childrens lead and gone for my usual seafood but it's a learning curve! Overall we left satisfied and will be returning one evening in a months time in order to enjoy the pizza again when the place is showing it's true colours (full) with the sound of customers having a good evening out. A score of 4 that could have been 5 but for the table cloth and Garlic bread, could it be 5 next time???? we shall see soon.

It is both authentic and surprisingly cheap! There is a happy hour every day between 5 and 6:30 pm which makes every starred pasta and pizza just £5.00! Yes its no michellin star restaurant but it has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere which makes you feel right at home! The staff are generally really attentive and friendly however some of the less experienced younger lads are a bit dozy sometimes.... We came here on sunday with 2 other friends seeking some hangover cures! We started with a garlic bread and cheese- you will need to share this as it is HUGE! It is basically a pizza without tomato and shed loads of garlic and cheese- dreamy! We came in happy hour so ordered a pasta and pizza to share between me and Gilly. We plumped for the 'ala Marcos' pizza which involved lots of ham, mushrooms and pepperoni- mouthwateringly good and a great crispy base which I love. For the pasta we got a vegetarian spinach and ricotta cannelloni covered in tomato sauce and oven baked. This was tasty and the sauce was amazing but the cheese inside was just slightly dry- but not enough to not finish it! To finish it off we shared a plate of profiteroles- these are amazing but a very large portion! Filled and covered with chocolate mousse and sweet cream this is not a pudding for dieters! All in all a great meal, slightly peeved that we had to wait a while for our bill as the young waiter forgot it, but still 5 stars as I always want to come back when we're in Lancaster.

Came here for a meal with my boyfriends mum and wanted just a quick salad and pizza before we headed back to Manchester.

Situated on Church Street at…read morethe back of the now shut Woolies this is an all you can eat multi cuisine place - so instead of just chinese you can have, supposedly, pizza, pasta, carvery and salads. Now we visited there on a Saturday afternoon about 2pm and maybe this explains the stuff we found. The salad bar was none existent, the carvery - a hunk of what looked like beef looked dried out. Pizzas were hideous - think cheapo frozen ones and we didn't even go anywhere near the pasta. The chinese options were ok - but nothing more than ok. Sometimes food isn't about how much food can you shove down you for the cheapest amount possible - well for me it's not. I won't be going back, I'd rather spend a couple of quid on a butty and enjoy it then 6 quid on all you can eat low quality food.

They do lots of delicious looking sandwiches on a choice of bread, but the salad boxes tempted me. I was going to get the £4.95 one but when it was suggested that I 'upgrade' and get bread and tortilla with it for an extra £1 I did what any greedy Yelper would do and went for that. I can't remember exactly which four salads I chose but they were all delicious, packed with veg and grains etc. Then on went a slice of tortilla, hummus, a vine leaf, olives, tahini dressing and toasted seeds. This was so delicious and very filling. A slightly pricy lunch, though there are many cheaper options. I think they are mostly veggie here with the exception of smoked salmon, from what I can see. Plenty of vegan options and it seems they cater to allergies and intolerances really well.
