We ordered a takeaway from here on Saturday night. Margaretta and a seafood one. Both were cooked to perfection and we had garlic bread as well, which perhaps was a little dry. The staff were friendly and the restsurant clean. Added bonus it has a gin bar opposite and thats where we waited for them. We would go back.

We ordered a delivery from here. It was delivered on time, it was still hot and it tasted fine. A few more toppings wouldn’t have gone amiss. Enough leftover for breakfast though.

We were passing by and popped in for a late lunch on spec. We received a very warm welcome and this great service continued throughout lunch. The pizzas were authentic and absolutely delicious, and they also served a lovely Aperol spritz. The staff were great - very friendly and attentive. I agree with other reviewers that this is right up there with the best restaurants in Broadstairs. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this pizzeria. It was also very good value for money.

Have visited on a few occasions now and tried a good few things from the menu. Everything is consistently good as is the service. As per the title not just pizza but pasta, risotto, salads also fish pie, mussels and various fish and meat dishes. Lovely side dishes and starter and dessert options also. Great for couples, families or groups

My husband and I went here today expecting to have a pizza. We have shared take-away pizza from here before and really enjoyed it because it was authentic. When we arrived we were surprised to find a well presented, clean restaurant with a view of the sea and a full menu. We both had pasta dishes, followed by tiramisu and warm lemon tart. The atmosphere is great with Italian music playing. So much more than a pizzeria! A hidden little gem in the back streets of Broadstairs. Reasonable prices and so worth a visit. We will be returning.

We haven't been back to this local pizzeria for some 8 yrs so to be fair we popped in for a lunch. The staff were most welcoming and the Italian chef looked like he knew how to cook a decent pizza. The place was buzzing with foreign students from the language schools so a quiet table wasn't possible.There are many competing eateries in town serving Italian food so we were hoping for stand-out pizzas that we had yet to find in the area. We didn't find it here sadly. The dough bases were okay but the ingredients were cheap tasting, crucially the cheese didn't taste of good quality. Being fair to offer discount to it's large number of student customers something has to give. Doubtful we'll be back.

We love this pizzeria but, since being vegan, we hadn’t visited as we know the menu off by heart. However, we went there this evening for dinner and as all the pizzas are freshly prepared in front of you, it was easy to request a non-dairy vegan one despite it not being on the menu. Italian dough base with tomato, mushrooms, spinach and artichoke - delicious! Always excellent and so pleased we can resume going there, we’ve missed it! Fantastic food and so friendly.

Nothing particularly authentic in my opinion except the actual pizza. Things didn't start well when deciding the wine - we asked for a taster of the house white and were offered an unbranded drain cleaner. The pizza was good and we did end up with a reasonable bottle of wine but the service and ambience was average at best. I've heard others say they enjoyed it - maybe we were just unlucky but I wouldn't go back there I'm afraid.

We visited this Pizza place recently as had said about trying it for ages. It has a more café/fast food place feel to the restaurant. We were shown our table and picked up the menu only to realise it is a pizza only Italian restaurant. The choice of pizzas is not huge however I picked the pepperoni, cheese and chilli pizza. The pizza smelt gorgeous as it arrived however the topping was extremely sparse, probably 6 or 7 pieces of pepperoni and 1, yes 1 piece of chilli on the whole large pizza!The pizza did taste very nice however I was surprised by the lack of topping.We eat out most weeks and this is the first time in ages I have felt disappointed in my choice of restaurant. Sadly we wont be going back but glad we tried it.

Have been here 4/5 times with my kids now, and it has always been great. I wish they had a few more toppings to choose from, as I like spicy toppings, which gives me only 1 choice. But other than that, I find the pizza is better than the other more well known Italian/pizza restaurants down the road, which are always busy/packed. Zia Maria is still always strangely deserted whenever we visit, so sadly it seems people still unaware of its existence or haven't tried it out. I think they need to do some more marketing, as I am sure they would be more busy if more folks knew about this little place.

My wife and I popped into La Zia Maria for lunch on Saturday, our first visit and we loved the meal. We decided on a shared starter, pizza bread with garlic, balsamic vinegar and red onion plus mozzarella and tomatoes. Both were generous portions and lovely. As we intended to have Pizza for our main we took the very reasonably priced meal for 2 offer which included 2 small glasses of wine and a large shared pizza. We opted for ham and mushroom, the pizza real dough, well cooked and a good size (we took a quarter home as takeaway). The ham used was good quality. What added to our experience was the view of the sea from the window and the Italian music in the background with the chef singing along as he made the pizza. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive without imposing. Great informal lunch venue and as locals we will certainly be back.

Great pizza in a clean restaurant. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Watch Italian chef throw pizza dough and see it cook in proper pizza oven.

My favorite pizza is Pizza Express but this place has come a close second so far. It is all about the pizza dough, and they clearly have a good recipe. It is also a small restaurant and never busy, frankly I am surprised they are still in business, which is likely due to their location, as you are only likely to find it by accident when you drive by and then there will have trouble parking if you decide to visit on a whim. But this is great if you prefer a nice and quiet meal. All the other Italian restaurants in Broadstairs are far more popular and usually very packed and very noisy.The only let down is the deserts which clearly aren't fresh and are just generic frozen deserts.

This is a lovely restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and view of the sea down the road.It was the best pizza we've had in a long time. We're already looking forward to going back on our next holiday.

Three generations enjoyed a meal here last year, and looked forward to visiting it again this year - it did not let us down. Both pizza and pasta were excellent, and the desserts were amazing.

We are residents in Broadstairs and can honestly say that Restaurant is second to none. The Food is delicious and is prepared by the Restaurants very own Italian Chef! Our daughter was delighted when she received her very own pizza (see photo) the staff are so friendly and always welcoming to everyone. This is a real Italian treat in Broadstairs!

We had a family lunch here the other day. The pizza is wonderful very tasty and straight from there pizza oven which is great. honestly Its a struggle to get better pizza in the area. It's only problem is it's rude staff. My friend doesn't like ricotta cheese so she asked if she can have some olives instead. The waitress made a point to say "I can put a few in" in a brash tone which was completely unnecessary. We then could hear the chef kicking off about this small change. Being the only customers there at the time this made us feel very unwelcome and ruined the our whole experience. Not to mention the dirty look he gave to us when we were leaving! Please sort your staff out don't let it ruin the great food.

We went 3 or 4 times in 2014 - it was ok, though not good enough to merit a review. We went back this week and the pizza was amazingly good - thin, crisp, and generous with the obviously fresh ingredients. It's all cooked in very hot pizza oven - and the new chef clearly knows what he's doing. Don't be afraid to be specific about what you do/don't want - my requests led me to pizza heaven. Not sure about the rest of the menu - the shared antipasti was quite good, but let down a bit by the olives.....We're definitely returning....

This pizzeria does excellent value set lunches and very nice homemade tiramisu. Salads are also very tasty. It may be a step away from the main drag but this is authentic Italian food and great coffee and wine.

Went in early sat evening on a whim as hadn't been in before. Very surprised how good the pizza was - much better than Posilippo! - and very reasonable price too. Staff friendly, and although the garlic bread was a little dry my mother enjoyed her ice cream. Will definitely come back and sorry I have missed it all this time!

We’d had a busy afternoon so didn’t feel like cooking, had always wanted to go in every time I drove past. Well worth stopping on a cold, wet night. Warm, cosy little restaurant and a friendly welcome. Delicious home cooked cipolla with red onions and balsamic. I had linguine mediterranea - piping hot and tasty; my husband chose tagliatelle tartufa, again very enjoyable. Could work our way through the menu of pasta, pizza and tagines. Great place, thank you.

Probably the best Italian place I have ever been … a seasonal caponata with local ingredients, impressed … and pastas are just crazy delicious. Short menu, only fresh and seasonal stuff … hard to find better wherever you live.
