Nice food, really nice food actually but owner/chef was so rude and made us feel like an inconvenience. Feel sorry for the staff. He said 'well you never booked...' excuse me but yes we did! Plus an hour wait for 4 pizzas and 2 pastas, when they were half full, shouldnt be a problem for anywhere!

Attended restaurant from work for a family outing, the food here is outstanding. Ingredients are as fresh as you will get, week before we ate @ Gino de campos Leeds restaurant and Trust me this place put there food to shame on so many levels. I will say the place needs an investment of some sorts, but with the upcoming rotherham regeneration I hope the family can keep going and keep providing some of the best Italian food I have ever tasted, anywhere. God bless and stick with it please, it will pay off. Food this good doesn't go unrewarded. Xxx

We come here, in varying family combinations, almost weekly and have been going for decades! The food is outstanding. We always have a bruschetta to start with - I could just have a whole one to myself tbh! This, and the pizzas, are baked in a pizza oven which many of the tables look on to. We generally choose pizza and pasta dishes and are spoilt for choice. My parents like the melanzana or crespelle & I love the meatballs or salmon pasta. If you are seated before 7pm, the main courses are 2 for 1 which makes it ideal for families & they have a great children’s menu as well. The house red is a good quality Hardys Shiraz so you will love it. If you want modern surroundings, nouvelle cuisine etc., then this place won’t be for you, but if you want genuine home made food which is both appetising and filling, in relaxed, traditional surroundings run by a local family, then you really should visit.

I’m afraid to say that like the rest of Rotherham the restaurant is looking very tired. The food is as good as it has always been. A couple of low points were they had no beer on tap only bottles and had run out of veg!!! It was only 5.45. Tesco’s is only 5 minutes away...

The setting is beyond tired and there are cobwebs all over... and please don’t get me started on the toilets. This place is dirty. The lady serving is really lovely, she’s attentive, and incredibly helpful, if this review was just about her it would be 5 stars all the way. The chef is grumpy and ignorant, don’t expect him to reply when you speak to him. Food... if you go for pizza, you won’t go far wrong, but the pastas we chose were poor, we had lasagne and cannelloni and I wasn’t impressed by either. The sauces were too overpowering, it tasted like something out of a jar. The Parmesan tasted like the bought grated type, that carries a very strong smell rather than fresh Parmesan. Overall disappointing, I’m sorry to say we won’t be returning anytime soon.

Hadn’t been to the Pizza Oven for many years but decided to take our visiting grandchildren there for an early evening pizza. As others have indicated, the restaurant needs a face-lift - the décor hadn’t changed since the last time we ate here. There were few tables occupied but even so, after ordering, the food took a while to arrive. It was, however, freshly prepared and cooked and the pizzas met with the our grandchildren’s approval. The waiter was efficient and very friendly. As this was the early evening two for one pizza/pasta menu, it was good value.

Came in for pizza and we all enjoyed the food, but the place is really in need of a facelift, or even a good going over with feather duster. Friendly staff apart from the chef but think that’s just how he is. Can’t beat the 2 for 1 till 7 o’clock deal our local takeaway pizza place would cost more.

As we were meeting friends later for a surprise birthday ,,.we decided to come early and have dinner! We don’t visit Rotherham very much any more I’m afraid....we used to come with my parents and our children,..probably 28 years since our first visit! always had a great meal and lovely service with Tony and Carol.....my parents particularly loved coming here.....and now years later...we have visited with our grandchIldren a few Times! Menu seems unchanged ,.,but we always enjoyed it...so why change it! I did have a different meal from my usual and enjoyed it...we shared calamares and then husband had carbonara and said it was lovely too? Young man who took our order was very nice...the young girl was very reticent at first...then she said she was new.....and she was fine....we all have to learn! All in all...we still enjoyed our meals and at a reasonable price.

Because we hadn't booked the chef was very dismisive of my friends and I. We had to wait ages for our food and other customers were served before us even though we were their first. As I couldn't pronounce the italian name correctly of the dish I ordered the chef rolled his eyes at me! The food when it finally arrived was tasty but the whole experience had been spoiled by the unfriendly service.

Very cheap with a nice atmosphere and parking is only a 30 second walk away. I would recommend to anyone. The only down side is the seats are slightly uncomfortable but will defiantly go again.

Yes they get busy (especially at the 2 for the price of 1 time-slots), and you get lots of time and space between ordering. I personally hate visiting my local Bangladeshi restaurant where my plate has actually been removed from under my cutlery, so I enjoy the time I am left to enjoy my food and company when I visit Italian Pizza Oven.

Waiter friendly. That's the only positive I can give. My starter of olives was sickly erring on the 'off', I can only assume they have been left unopened and gone stale. I was looking forward to my main of Salmon Tagliatelle but was sorely disappointed. Overcooked pasta in a red sauce with bits of salmon. Sauce wasn't home made and tasted like tomato soup. Others had pizza and other sickly looking pasta dishes. They also had a mushroom starter that one said tasted like curry! Can't recommend this place at all. They even wanted rid of us at 9 o'clock to close........

Have been coming to the Pizza Oven for many years & have never been disappointed. Whilst it is not the fanciest Italian out there, the food is delicious & great value for money and we would prefer to eat here rather than pay twice as much in a posh restaurant where the food is not as good. The service has always been great & the staff are always happy to accomodate our requests to sometimes change some ingredients. Would definitely recommend.

I've never had anything wrong with any of my meal, and neither has my wife. We have been at least 8-10 times.

I'm afraid this restaurant is now dated. I can remember coming here years ago but it's gone downhill a little. There is little atmosphere and the place needs a big deep clean.The food was ok but my main course was not piping hot. The gents toilets upstairs had no sign on the door so it took me ages to figure out where to go.This place is busy for an hour and then empty - is this to do with the place itself or a reflection of Rotherham in general?

Changes in family circumstances meant that my wife and I had to stop being fairly regular customers. An occasional, after work, group visit with colleagues meant that by the time of my latest visit (again with colleagues) meant that I only recognised one member of staff.I agree with an earlier comment that more staff would be better for customer service but at the time of our visit another member of staff would have only have been partly employed - so can understand the owners' dilemma.Our meal - where we only had main course - of 3 Calzone, 1 Salmone Taglietelle, 1 Polpettine and 1 Pizza - was very good. Portion sizes were good - some people only just managed to finish their portions.Due to driving; soft drink consumption was high but the red wine was good.I noticed that the family on the next table - with two young girls - also seemed to be enjoying their meals.All in all it was good to have made the return visit and need to mention that the 'early bird' deals are really good value.

It has always retained its high quality Italian food and excellent service. The pizzas and calzones are cooked in a wood fired pizza oven and are to die for. The puddings are also lovely! The prices are reasonable and before 7pm weekdays they have 2for1 on pizza and pasta which is an amazing deal. Love this place!

I used to love going to the restaurant. It was so exciting watching the pizzas cooking in the oven and seeing the chef prepare all the ingredients for each dish. The bruschetta is one of the best I have ever tasted and the pizzas were thin and crispy. The last time I went, it wasn't the same as before. Although, the restaurant looked identical to before, the taste of the food was much blander and the place was pretty much dead. Hopefully it goes back to what it used to be.

Visited for a late Sunday treat with the wife. Not been for years as had a bad experience some years ago but thought we would give it a try to redeem itself. The place was very quiet for a Sunday tea time with 3 other tables taken. Food was quite bland I thought and service was poor had one drink all way through our two courses as the waiter couldn't be bothered to ask if we wanted another drink. Was served our food by the chef whose hands were covered in flour from cooking. Didn't improve my experience I'm afraid and won't return.

I've been going to the Italian pizza oven for about 17 years and it has never failed to leave me feeling satisfied and always full!! The food is delicious, fresh and high quality. I've been with just my wife, my family and with large parties and the food has always been good. I've tried a lot of the menu from pizzas to pasta, steaks to chicken dishes and they are all wonderful. Their particular stand out dish has to be their bruschetta. If go for that alone! Before 7 is 2for1 on pasta and pizza which really keeps the cost down with the kids. A real gem in the middle of Rotherham.

Visit often, but always before 7pm to utilise the 241 offer, I don't think we would visit if this offer wasn't running. Pasta dishes aren't much to write home about although the meatballs are quite tasty, however the pizzas and calzone are great tasting freshly made and cooked in the pizza oven. Wine isn't bad quality and the service has always been friendly, but can be a bit slow on busy evenings. All in all a good place to go if you're on a budget (before 7pm).

Went for a family tea (son, sister and nephew). Had only eaten here once before, years ago at the end of a night out but my sister and son have been a lot recently. Went on a Friday night at 17:30 and got the main meals at half price, as before 19:00 they have a 2 for 1 on pasta and pizza.Didn't have starters. My son and my sister had pizza (no problem swapping ingredients as my son wanted extra ham instead of onion), my nephew had meatballs in pasta and I had a Calzone, which came covered in a generous helping of bolognese sauce. The Calzone was excellent, which was also the opinion on the other three meals. A side salad was also excellent with plenty of black olives and salad leaves not simple lettuce.My son and nephew both had a fudge brownie which came with both ice cream and cream with strawberries on the side. Again the verdict was excellent.Staff are very friendly and attentive.Would recommend both before and after 19:00 hrs

Went for a family meal, midweek. 2 for 1 deal , used to be good value but there have been price increases, so not such good value now. But what is most noticeable is the decor etc, What seem to be either cigarette or candle burns on table cloths and dirty oil/condiments holders are really unacceptable when prices have been increased! Just get rid of the top layer of tablecloths, dated, old and burned! No attenton to detail. A shame when the food is good, not amazing. I had no knife , had to ask for one. Its like being back in the 90's. Sorry but even my son said , ' you can buy paper tablecloths' , couldnt stop looking at the burn holes and thinking of the days when you could smoke in restaurants!

We went to The Italian Pizza oven for my husband and his brothers birthday, 12 adults and 3 children, crammed into a very tight fitting space, the waitresses couldn't get between the tables and kept shoving my children's chairs in so they could barely breathe. The food arrived after not waiting too long but was very burnt, most of our party ordered Pizza which were all very burnt and my brother in law found a full garlic clove in his Calzone, which is not acceptable. I ordered lasagne cannelloni that was burnt to a cinder and was barely edible. The food was bland and burnt, looking at other tables food it only seemed like ours was burnt, which I thought was odd. The children's drinks were extortionately priced £3.60 for two very small bottles of juice that only could be similar to drinking jam, disgusting. Really not happy with the service or the food and certainly won't be returning again.

Despite being the only two people in the restaurant we had to go to the bar to request drinks as no one came to serve us and when I visited the ladies room I found that the blind to the window consisted of a pieces of Christmas wrapping paper held up with drawing pins.

For desert I tried a trio of sorbets and I would definitely try that again as it was a fine combination of sweet and sour flavours (Berry, lemon and mango sorbets). Finally I left feeling full and very satisfied. Buon Appetito!

We visit regularly to the pizza oven, and we did have a large party of people so we know we had to wait a little while for the food. Although we do know its a little wait on the food as its cooked fresh. There were a few mixed reports on the food, some pizza`s were really tasty- more the salarmi ones. However, the ham pizza was went bland and I was very suprised from the lack of topping. I think they were running out of ingredients as they were so busy, so I suspect they had to stretch the food out. The staff were amazing as usual, cant fault them. I will return to the restaurant, but I hope they add more topping next time.

Go here quite a lot and sometimes for the 2 for 1 before 7 which is always very good value. Food cooked on the premises, pleasantly served and enjoyable.

Second time we have been. If you get there before 7 pm it's 2 for 1 on mains, which is pretty good and a litre of wine for £14. Which was also ok. I had the calzone and my girlfriend had meatballs. Thy both looked amazing when they came out. When I cut into my calzone it was very watery and I think they forgotten what salt was as it tasted a bit bland. He meatballs were also a bit watery but tasty. The staff were very friendly. If I got again I will have a normal pizza as they looked tasty!

4 Pasta dishes all poor and tasteless - I've had better freezer meals, poor presentation - drowned in sauce. Went to order deserts to be told they're very busy an we will have to wait 20 minutes so I asked for bill only to then be told they'd do them immediately....needless to say we left desert.Service was poor

Visited many times over the years. Went friday night,wondering if it would still be the same. It is obviously intentional that it has the exact same decor as thirty years ago. This is part of its charm. Red tables/chairs, checked tablecloths, everything unchanged. Food is always excellent. Had a lovely creamy mushroom starter, then pasta with tuna, delicious. Many staff have been there for a while, service excellent and very friendly. I usually have minestrone soup-best soup I have ever tasted but they didnt have it on this time. Never mind, it encouraged me to try something different which didnt disappoint. Lovely cosy atmosphere, perfect for a romantic early autumn meal. The two for one deal on pasta/pizza before 7pm makes it great value. Always makes us reminisce. Love it here!

Been many times and although the food is of good quality it has yet again been let down by poor standards of hygiene and poor service ! We guessed the toilets would have been cleaned / decorated in ten years and again they haven't they are scruffy to say the least with no soap !The strip light above our table was filthy and the poor standards of cleanliness generally all over the restaurant lets it down .It seems it is badly managed and staff have no direction , they all stood chatting near the stairs and we had to attract their attention for drinks the bill etc they need to be more attentive and this would go along way .our table was only half cleared and no cutlery for mains given so then another wait for cutlery when mains arrived and no space on table as full of glasses if they had done the job properly this wouldn't have happened !Its a shame as this place was a favourite .

We have been visiting this bistro type restaurant for years because we enjoy the food, ambience and friendly staff. This was the case on our last visit, the calzone is a must! On our last visit we waited nearly an hour for our main courses and when questioned we were told that you have to wait for freshly cooked food. The late Michael Winner would have been appalled. So, you will enjoy your trip but be prepared to wait

The place is great. After a frontal face lift looks all the better. Been going here years and listening to the shout "Away" from the wood burning stove. Staff friendly. Mussles are fab. Steaks are cooked well!! Rare = rare and tasty Dessert specials are good too. Always a great twist. Definitely a place to visit when in town

Went on Monday and you get any pizza, pasta buy one get one free. All I would say is starters quite expensive and drinks so if you want a cheap quick tea as the offer is only on till 7pm then I would avoid starters etc. the food was nice and we had a nice time

I've been going here for the last 15 or so years and not much has changed In that time . The food speaks for itself. Each dish I prepared in front of the stone oven where you can see and then watch it go in to start cooking. It's a lovely friendly relaxed atmosphere and the food just keeps me coming back time and time again.

Maybe I'm spoiled by European restaurants, but this place needs some good hands. First of all- untidy interior. Electrical leads lying around is not pleasant view. A little refurbishment would be great. Chairs are quite tall compared with tables. Food: for the chef- orange juice from tetrapack is not freshly squeezed. Soup was ok, but i can't understand why all "italian" soups are made from tomatoes. Chicken a la bolognese was good prepared, but with just few leaves of salad and NOT fresh cucumbers... Maybe i made mistake not taking their famous pizza, but when i saw poor amount of ingredients on menu, i just didn't wanted to try it...All picture would be quite bad, but the staff were very nice and i hope this place will get better.

Went with relatives so had a table for 9 - and there were a few other large tables arrived around the same time (6:00pm-ish on Saturday) so were pleasantly surprised at the efficiency of service and quality of food. Shared some garlic bread to start which was excellent - and very garlicky! For mains some had pizza some pasta. Pizzas all looked good and tasted good according to those who had them. My canneloni/lasagne combo tasted OK but thought the portion size was a little mean; someone else in our party just had the lasagne which also looked on the small size.Staff all friendly and due to a number of other large tables there was a really good atmosphere - probably not the best choice for a romantic dinner for two!

we were a party of 8 who went for a birthday party, it seems that they were out of wood for the oven, our starters were undercooked, (an under done pizza in a pizza restaurant) !!!. service was ok friendly and prompt, when our mains arrived yet again underdone, soggy dough calzone yummy!!! my wife had meatballs price just under a tenner and for this you get 3 meatballs (slightly bigger than supermarket ones) so the good lady wasn't impressed, I wont say we wont go back but if its the same next time I wont go back for a third time

Sat down at 6pm with people sitting down after us, our order wasn't taken until everyone else's had making us wait 1hr 15 mins before our food arrived. Service was poor, calzone pizza was swimming in fluid to the point we had to get them to drain it away. Was soggy, not cooked properly and didn't seem interested when it was brought up. We have been here many many times before the refurb and never been disappointed until now.

Myself & my partner have been here many times (although not as often now we have kids) & we are always happy. Really friendly atmosphere, good food & service as well as good value for money. The 241 on pizzas & pastas before 7 makes it a very affordable evening but I would also highly recommend the steak dianne. I would like to see them update the inside (tables & chairs especially) but the interior decor will certainly not stop us going whenever we have a sitter :-)

Visited the Pizza Oven on Saturday for the first time, I was really pleased with the service, it was really quick even though the restaurant was busy. The price of the pizza were very good, and the quality of the food was excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. It was lovely to visit and Italian restaurant that isn't part of a large nationwide chain. The atmosphere was good and we will be returning very soon.

Whilst the menu and the fact that they had a wood-fired oven for the pizzas looked as an impressive statement of intent, there were a number of serious failings that let me down.Firstly, the chairs and tables aim to give a rustic, Italian look. But the chairs are quite uncomfortable and unreasonably high... whilst the table has some form of skirting that goes way to low towards the chair, making it almost impossible to avoid hitting your tights against the table. This setting makes it all too uncomfortable. Then comes the food. The starter was ok-ish, but had no seasoning at all. Simply no salt or pepper at all.For mains, I ordered a dish that is half an order of cannelloni and half and order of lasagne. I could see lasagne in my dish, but it was impossible to ascertain whether the other half was lasagne as well or cannelloni. Then comes the taste. Bland. Extremely bland because there was no seasoning at all. These dishes should be packed with flavour and the sauce is meant to be rich, not the watery, insipid joke that was that sauce.My wife ordered a pizza that was ok-ish. But again, no salt, no pepper, no seasoning.And service was also a big miss in this place. Whilst the waters were quick to take an order, they were just too busy chatting to each other near the till (away from the sight of most of the customers) and they rarely checked if we wanted something. In fact, by the time I ordered a second drink, I had less than half a portion left to eat and, by the time I finally got my drink, I was already done with the main! I can't be that a waiter needs 8 minutes to get a simple soft drink, can it?But this lack of attention to service became worse by the time it came to ordering the bill: 15 minutes before a waiter even thought about coming by our table.8 minutes to get our bill from the time we asked for it20 minutes for the waiter to come to our table with the credit card terminal.But the waiters must have been having a great time by the till, because when we left all of them were chatting with the cook!

Hi AllI visited Pizza Oven first as part of a hen do (15 of us) we ordered as part of the 2 4 1 deal if you order before 7, service is excellent, prompt service with food, drinks etc.Second visit was to celebrate a birthday with friends and family, again service was spot on, staff really friendly and fab with the kids, All food served on both occasions was fab, pizza to die for and divine pasta dishes, puddings especially the pecan pie was amazing,I would definitely visit again. Make sure you book a table before 7 if you visit to get the 2 4 1 on mains offer and its then a bargain
