Walked to the area from a nearby hotel looking for somewhere to have dinner. Saw this place had…read moresome nice outdoor seating and went inside. I waited a while before a server came, by then I was ready to order. I was surprised they did not have fountain drinks, only warm bottles of soda. After I ordered, another guy was seated outside. He sat there a while without anyone going to his table and he left. My appetizer took about 20 minutes to come out. I ate half of it with the intention of taking the rest of it with me for later. When the lasagna I ordered was brought to the table, I had been there for almost an hour. I also had to stop the server from taking away my partially eaten appetizer. I was expecting a slice of lasagna, but it appears they made them one at a time in a skillet in the oven. It was served extremely hot, enough that they put a sticker on the skillet saying so. The cheese around the edge was burned, and it ended up being a meat, cheese, and noodle mess. I ate as much as I wanted to, then waited for my server to come back so I could get the bill and box. Eventually, I was one of only 2 tables left in the place, and none of the servers were visible. I saw there was a way to pay with my phone, so I just ate what I was going to take with me, paid, and left just under 2 hours after I originally arrived. Far too long for 1 person to have 1 appetizer and 1 entrée.

This is a lovely Italian restaurant in Shirley. I went with my girlfriend, who lives very close by,…read moreso the location was perfect. All the food we ate was delicious- bruschetta and garlic ciabatta as appetisers, and pasta and pizza main courses, washed down with the house white wine. I really can't complain about the food or drink in any way. The staff were friendly and quick to take care of our needs. Unfortunately, there was a children's birthday in the restaurant, which made it relatively noisy, but this is not the fault of the place at all. I highly recommend Puccini's, and will be back in the future.

They have a good selection of pizzas, side orders and jacket potatoes. They have lots of great deals and pizzas are buy one get one free plus you can get a side order for £1. Other offers are the single pizza meal, family meal, crazy deal and mega deal. They also offer a free delivery service on order over £7.99. I like going here because they seem a lot cheaper than other pizza shops, the pizzas taste very nice and the staff are friendly. When I go in I am normally waiting around 10 minutes for my order whilst they make and cook the pizza.

I've been trying to think of clever metaphors or funny analogies to make this review exciting and…read moreengaging, but honestly this place doesn't need them! I was never a fan of takeaway pizza, whenever I had friends over i'd always push to get a Chinese or Indian meal. Not anymore! As long as it's Smokey's, I want pizza! I have had them three times now and each time has been delicious. My last Smokey's was the first time I have collected it rather than delivery and I was so pleased to see a clean, inviting shop front, smart seats to wait on and an open wood fired oven to watch my pizza cook in. They even swapped my mushrooms for meatballs at no extra cost! It's hard to pin-point what it is that makes it so much better than the other take-away pizza options, I think it starts with the base, it's a lovely, fresh ciabatta dough that is cooked perfectly in the wood oven so it's crispy but not dry, it holds firm allowing you to dip your slice with no fear of flopping! There are a range of base sauces to be had, the ones I have tried have been just the right consistency, not too wet so that the cheese falls off, but not to dry that you need to drink contantly to keep the pizza down; they taste fresh, they're gently seasoned, they're what you want from a sauce. Moving on to the cheese, it's not greasy, my main opjection to most pizza places is the level of oil floating all over the top, as well as the stringy mozzerella that pulls all the toppings off and leaves you with nothing but tomatoey bread. I haven't had that here, the cheese is tasty, not too stringy and not oily, brilliant! As for toppings, I have never seen such a wide variety, including char-grilled aubergine, egg, prawn, cajun chicken, as well as all the standard toppings you'd expect! The dips also are gorgeous, if you like garlic, the garlic and herb is strong! I love the stuff. Although I have not tried them, they also do a wide range of pasta dishes, fingers crossed they're as good as the pizzas! Lastly, prices! Perfectly reasonable, last time we had 2 12inch pizzas plus dip for £13, if we'd been less greedy the 2 9inch would have been £9! Though I know prices always change, for now these prices are so reasonable for such good quality meals. I recommend Smokey's whole-heartedly and hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
