This place is really unassuming from the outside, but their pizza is delicious!
We went on a quiet Saturday night, not expecting much, and were really pleasantly surprised. The lady behind the counter was SUPER nice and explained to us the different pizza options.
I got the vegetarian pizza with no cheese to make it vegan (their pizza bases are vegan) and no onions. I'm always wary of rocking up to a regular pizza place and asking for no cheese, because you never know how the pizza's going to turn out. Some pizza places just rely so heavily on that gooey cheese taste to mask the inadequacies of their sauce and ingredients. Well, not true here -- the sauce is DELICIOUS! It was nicely tangy and really made the pizza worthwhile even without cheese. Really great for people who are lactose-intolerant or avoiding dairy for health or ethical reasons. Would be great if they could offer Bio-Cheese or another vegan cheese like a lot of pizzerias are starting to do, but hey, maybe someday.
The price was also great -- my vegetarian pizza was $10 for a large, and the portion sizes are good. I had enough to eat for two days, so if you're a tourist visiting Cowes for the day and don't want to be hassled with carting around any leftovers, definitely get the small.
Ambience-wise, don't expect much -- it's definitely more of a take-away-joint kind of a vibe rather than a cozy eat-in experience, but it's perfectly fine for what it is. read more
