Upon getting our table we were immediately offered a plate with olives, bread, vegetables and egg-bread. This was free. We ate pizza here and were impressed with the available choices on the menu. Prices were very reasonable. Our pizzas arrived within 10 min after ordering and were delicious! All fresh ingredients and you could definitely taste that. The setting is nice and feels fancy. Italian music in the background. All in all a very nice experience and we will definitely return to enjoy another great Italian meal.

The veggy pizza was covered with zucchini and eggplant, the ripest tomatoes, and lots of basil, just the right amount of onion and sauce and cheese. The crust was excellent.

It was pretty crowded inside. There was no outside seating.

My friend and I eventually decided to stick with this pizza restaurant. We both weren't super hungry, so wanted to order light. We decided to share a salad and a pizza pie. HOUSE BURRATA SALAD The burrata in the description instantly caught my eye. So, that already won my decision to order this. And it was indeed great! The salad is very light and makes you feel healthy after you eat it. It's full of cherry tomatoes, arugula & red onions paired with pesto sauce. The combination of these ingredients tasted great. It's an excellent choice of salad. PORTOBELLO PIZZA For the main course, we opted for Portobello. Overall, the pizza are not very big. It's shareable, but won't fill your stomach up. The slices are cut very small and thin. But the mushroom flavor filled each bite. This pizza also has kale as a veggie to top it all off. Overall, we really enjoyed each of these two options. It was the perfect amount for our "not super hungry, but can't skip dinner" kind of stomachs. The food didn't make you super full like some other Belgian foods out there. All the ingredients seemed fresh, light and healthy.

A great family dining option!…read more If you are ever in Ghent and find yourself with a hungry child, pre-teen, early teenager - the dinner options at 5:30 or 6 pm can be few and far between. In fact, most of the restaurants do not reopen for dinner service until after 6:30. Not Otomat. They're open from lunch onward until closing 10 or 11 pm (depending on the night of the week). This makes Otomat a lifesaver for families like our looking to feed a hunger panged child. Oh, and don't be mislead by my chronologically direct review - the food is darn good . . . and, it's so much more than just pizza (fear not gluten-free eaters!). The salads and non-pizza offerings are all gluten-friendly. In addition to a nice selection of noshing items - they also have a long list of beers by the bottle and draft, as well as wine, cocktails and house made lemonade. Finally, the convenient location and super friendly staff make Otomat a great place for a easy late lunch or early dinner - or anytime meal for traveling families.
