Ahhh Pizza by Goli, the enigma. The atmosphere is top notch and it is ALWAYS busy. The good on the whole is great, I'm not 100% convinced on the freshness of some of the pasta, however. But on the whole the food is tasty, if not a little on the pricey side. But let's talk about the elephant in the room. The service. I just can't 😆. Every time I've been here the service is literally non-existent. It feels absolutely chaotic and there's a real lack of attentiveness. If this was any other restaurant, I'd never recommend or return. But these guys somehow manage to get away with it for me. I have no idea why! There's a chaotic charm about the place, waiting staff rarely check in, rarely refill drinks and even just the wait to order or collect the bill or get the card machine just feels like a lifetime. But somehow, they get away with it. I'll continue to go, but I honestly don't know why 😆

Booked here for my daughters birthday booked weeks in advance and asked at the time of the booking if I could decorate the table on arriving I was told 3 times I shouldn’t have been told this information I explained I’d even called the day before to check it was ok I was made to stand and wait for the manager to come over before they allowed me to dress the table .. I was then told we had a 2 hour slot on the table it took over 40 mins for the drinks to come out I found the staff to be rude and unhelpful I was charged for extra food that we hadn’t received they didn’t take off the £100 deposit then when questioned she amended it but only took £80 off the restaurant is poorly laid out too many tables that’s actually a health hazard I found the whole experience awful definitely wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Having eaten here many times as a vegan and had good meals, tonight was dreadful All I was offered was linguini arabetta nothing else It was inedible as it was way too chilli hot Normally I have pasta in a tomato sauce which is lovely Even my companions who can tolerate very hot food said it was too hot I would never have chosen this ever due to stomach issues it was foisted on me A replacement of tomato sauce was much better Why are they not consistent with food for vegans? Why not put a few vegan dishes on the menu? This was a belated birthday meal for a friend and spoiled our night.

Came here for my birthday meal never been before and heard good things about it , would not return! My mom asked when booking about decorating the table for me they said it was fine , we also called a few days before asking about the time we could come in to decorate it they gave us a time , when she got there the manager said no we don’t know anything about you decorating the table she explained the situation and he let her decorate it , she did it on her own as the staff just stood round watching her the staff came across quiet rude we waited over 20 minutes to be served , it was so crammed in there too many tables are pushed in to get more people in was not a nice birthday meal ! we ordered 4 garlic breads and only received 3 they then tried to charge us for the 4 garlic breads ! My mom also payed £100 deposit as there was a few off us the waiter gave us the bill and only £50 had been taken off for a deposit my mom explained and said I can show you I payed the £100 deposit she came back and had only taken £80 off not the £100 we had paid !and left the garlic bread on that we didn’t receive we had to ask her again for a new bill receipt finally she took the £100 deposit off and the garlic bread after asking serval times if you do vist make sure you check your receipts !!! Would not recommend its overpriced and the food wasn’t that nice

BEWARE SCAM TACTICS. This is my third time at this restaurant and as ever the food was 5*, however I won’t be returning due to the scam tactics by the waiters/owners. We sat down to order and the waiter insisted to all 7 of us that instead of going for the pastas we wanted (£17-£19) we should go for today’s special (not on the menu). He was very insistent and made it seem as though it was a like for like switch and tbf we didn’t ask, but when the bill arrived they were £38 each, literally double any other pasta on the menu and more expensive then anything else including the fillet steak! I paid, didn’t query it, but won’t be returning. Quick win for them, but loss overall, as won’t be spending another penny. Sad really that a local place like this is using beach tourist trap practices. Ps the only thing I did query was why the paid £80 deposit wasn’t taken off the bill, which was quickly sorted. Reading the recent reviews, this seems to be an ongoing tactic by the owners

Arrived this evening for our pre booked table. We were completely ignored as we waited in the entrance part. The person taking guests to the tables looked very flustered and completely ignored us. Eventually he walked towards us, basically looked through us and spoke to the man standing behind! Absolutely disgusting -misogynistic and rude!!!

I cannot add any more than what other posters have eloquently stated. This place can be great or poor, the difference centred around the level of service from the staff. The food, even when poor by its own standards (albeit it's difficult to get simple foods too wrong) it's still okay and very edible. We used to dine here very routinely but felt we were being taken for granted - especially when making a booking only to be given a poor table when diners turning up on spec were given tables we asked to be changed to but were told they were reserved. We voted with our feet: they've lost probably about (conservatively) £2k pa, I'm sure they don't care too much. Not had any issues with the much smaller Lichfield branch, well, not yet.....

Have visited Pizza By Goli for over 20 years. The restaurant area and outside area are spectacular following the renovation. The food is still good but not at the level it used to be and the prices are right at the top end compared to similar restaurants. The service is where it all goes wrong, complete chaos, staff don't seem to cover specified tables but it seems a free for all so you are bombarded with different staff asking you the same thing. Service is extremely rushed, clearly looking to turn tables as quickly as possible. We were still eating our starters when a member of staff came over and said "your mains are ready can we take the starters", he took the empty plates and then looked at the people still eating as if they were going to hand over their plates whilst still eating. At the same time another member of staff was at the other end of the table asking if we were ready for our mains, whilst a third member of staff was actually putting the mains on the table, it was bizarre, not an experience I have ever had at any restaurant. No communication between any staff or the kitchen it would seem. We were a party of five and I had paid a £50 deposit which was not taken off the bill when it arrived, I had to ask for this to be removed, which then makes me wonder if this is intentional. It doesn't feel like Pizza By Goli care about customers anymore, simply in /out as fast as possible whilst making as much money as possible.

We are regular visitors to pizza by goli for many years. I don’t know what on earth has happened to it. Last night the welcome was rude there were lots of staff there but struggled to get any service at all. Food was good but it came very quickly and we felt they just wanted us out as quickly as possible . It was extremely amateurish and feel it may have changed hands. Staff were rushed and arrogant. What a massive disappointment.

I was recommended the restaurant by a friend but what a disappointment it turned out to be. Some not all of the staff are incredibly rude. The worst service one could ever imagine - shockingly bad. The food was beyond terrible, raw food delivered twice. First occasion the food was checked by several of the wait staff huddling around the plate, which was subsequently thrown back into the pan, reheated and delivered again - quite unbelievable. Food did not taste fresh and having eaten some of the raw food by accident I have spent the morning feeling rather sick with food poisoning symptoms. Avoid this place and go elsewhere. Neither I or my friends shall be returning to this awful restaurant. Not even worthy of one star. Simply horrendous.

DO NOT GO HERE. We recently went for a family meal this Saturday and this place is overpriced and the food is not of consumption quality at all. I ordered the chicken spaghetti with pesto and broccoli. The chicken was tasteless and had no pesto seasoning so didn’t eat the pasta. I explained this to the waiter and she said nothing can be done, that’s how the pasta comes. I asked it to be taken off the bill as it was not eaten and they still charged £20 for it nor did they replace or correct it. Then the following day, my brothers got food poisoning from the risotto with mushrooms and in creamy sauce. The rice was not cooked correctly and we suffered symptoms of sickness, diarrhoea, dizziness and feeling weak. My brother had to go to the doctors. This restaurant should be reported to the food standards agency. Lastly, they gave us the bill and forgot to deduct the £70 deposit that we paid. After paying a bill of £300, this is the level of service and food we received.

Not for me, best part of the meal was the garlic mozzarella bread to start! Had to ask for drinks after 10 minutes of sitting down, The Sauvignon Blanc was awful, the lasagne was not as it was as was dry. Far too noisy for me, as you can’t here yourself. To be honest I have no idea why people praise this place, I gave it another try but not again.

Very rude front of house embarrassed himself by telling us off in front of other guests for not mentioning a nut allergy when ordering our daughter’s garlic bread and pasta with cheese. We had mentioned it on our booking so they already knew. The waiter did not ask if we had allergies when he took our order as often happens elsewhere. Their menu has no allergy information whatsoever and I would suggest the restaurant urgently addresses this. He loudly shouted at us “it is very dangerous” several times and “This is an Italian kitchen there are traces of peanuts,” which was not helpful. It upset our 8 year old daughter who thought she had done something wrong and made her feel a problem because of her allergies. It is a life long condition that we are well used to managing. It is not necessary for a stranger to shout at us. We had our Epipen and ordered sensibly from their menu that has no allergy information on it whatsoever. Saying “We have a sign,” suggests an anti litigation attitude rather than one of genuine food safety. I get the feeling they have had an ‘event’ recently that has scared them but they have not learned from it by up-skilling their staff and bringing their menu up to date with allergy information. Embarrassing yourself by shouting at customers is unnecessary and made you look very silly and thuggish. Doubling down on this for another go at us one hour later as we left has ensured we won’t be returning so you won’t have to bother pretending to care about food safety with us again in future. A shame as we have enjoyed our many visits over the years and the staff are lovely (with one very large exception).

Food is nice here but be careful, the past three times I've come here the bill has been wrong. They double your spirits even if you ask for the same of a single. Twice they have "upgraded" a standard dish to a special at double the cost. No way a chicken linguine should cost £36! The food is decent though.

Got sat at the restaurant and was asked if I d like to drink something. I said a jug of water. The waiter brought me 2 bottles of mineral water. Salesman in action to make extra turnover before I started to eat anything. Although some customers would have been too ashamed to refuse the 2 bottle of mineral water. Those waiters try to play on the customer's psychologically. Waiter recommended today ‘s special: spaghetti with sole fillet something like that. I asked for the price, the guy said: maybe £35. How would u recommend something without knowing the price? Do they think customers are like milky cows? Maybe they should write the today ‘s special on the blackboard and stick it to the wall in order to avoid any misunderstanding with the price. We ordered some starters to share. Waiter gave us some dirty spare plates. plates out were dirty with tomato sauce or a piece of bolognese meat. The waiter when handing out the plates must have seen the stains but the bloke still handed out the plate like nothing was wrong.are we animals eating dinner? I told the guy plates were dirty so he went to get another 3 plates without any apologies. Main courses were good. We needed extra water during the main course. Many waiters standing there without any eye contact with the customers. They were busy chit chatting between themselves. Once I got a waiter, I returned the empty jugs to him and said we need more water. The guy came back with one bottle for 6. The bar was just 2-3 meters away from our table. I mean is it asking too much? He had 2 hands. Even one hand would be enough to carry 2 jugs of water. My final feedback: the food was good, no negative feedback about the food although little bit pricey . But management and workers need to improve their attitude towards customers. Maybe they are like that as Jewish people love money.

Three of us went for dinner this evening, ordered the starter mussel plate, mussels were not fresh! It tastes terrible! I ordered steak for dinner. The steak was good, but a bit salty! My partner ordered spaghetti, which also tasted very salty! My son ordered pizza, and it tasted very average! That’s fine, the attitude of the service staff was unfriendly and unprofessional! After finishing the meal, no staff said thank you to us when we finished eating! I was very disappointed with tonight's meal!

Ok … just. Attended for a family birthday. Waiter taking our order was grumpy. Starters came out piecemeal. Waiters came to clear starter plates away before our party had finished eating. Felt rushed. Waiter serving main courses didn’t know what was coming out so ended up effectively saying ‘whose is this?’ No cutlery without asking a few times. Hair in one of the main courses. Couple of the main courses bland. To be fair, some of the meals nice. Overall, not the best experience for the price point. Just not great service. We have been before a few times so sad to be disappointed.

Would not even give one star for service but have to do that this review can be published!!! We have not been here since the refit and thought we’d try it for my daughter’s birthday. My daughter asked to sit outside and she was greeted with disapproval so they decided inside for a party of 8 and the only people in the restaurant. They took forever to take our drinks order and hurried with the starters and told us we had to order mains as the chef was going on his break! They forgot some of our cocktails and even water for the table. Food was nothing special, overpriced and bland. We were not asked if our meal was ok. They happily took my daughter’s cake but did not want to give any plates etc unless we ordered desert which we did. Let’s say I made many trips to the counter for things they forgot. They greeted other diners happily and very friend lychee but this is definitely chosen behaviour depending on if they order wine etc freely. They did not say goodbye and I did not leave a tip! Just a sour taste from awful and rude staff! It’s safe to say I WILL NOT BE RETURNING! All in all awful and the price you pay we will not be returning to that branch and will perhaps try Lichfield branch

This is our first time going there, and the interior was lovely. The food took a while to come, which they did tell us. I'm disappointed they did not have a children's menu, we were told they'd do smaller portions, but didn't add were charged the full amount. There were lots of staff on, but almost too many as some things got miscommunicated. They should have dedicated staff to certain tables. The bill came to almost £500 for the 9 of us which included drinks, we had shared garlic bread to start, mains and only a couple of us had desserts. They don't tell you the vegetables are extra with steak, and being they charge over £36 per steak, you'd think chips and vegetables would have been included. The food was lovely, I'd just say be prepared for a higher priced meal than you think.

Not quite sure why so many people think the food here is great, essentially you could recreate most of it at home by boiling some pasta and then adding melted butter and any other desired ingredients. Nothing special, probably survives on the fact that there are no other local competitors so it doesn’t really need to be that good. The “sommelier” sold us a £50 bottle of wine which was fairly average, before he even opened it he was trying to get us to reserve a second bottle behind the bar because he only had one left (if you believe that). We politely declined. The highlight of the evening was the fact that our drinks arrived with a clueless waiter who had no idea what any of them were, he just presented them to us and we had to guess which was which. It did provide some entertainment and luckily no one on our table had allergies (which could have been quite dangerous). The food as mentioned above, was poor. Cheap ingredients, everything was quite oily (more butter oil than olive oil). In summary, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. If you want a better and cheaper alternative I’d recommend turning your hob on at home and boiling some pasta, then add whatever sauce and ingredients you want at the end. It’s hard to go wrong…

Right where to start The infamous Pizza by Goli experience as seen on social media Walking in we were wowed by the aesthetics. A warm welcome from staff we were promptly seated. Given menus and left for a minute or two before the waiter came over. The waiter was very pushy on us getting the recommended specials. Including bread. Bread. Very poor quality almost cremated. One lot of bread is fine for two people. Starters I ordered the meatballs starter(delicious) Other half ordered scallops (delicious) Mains Other half ordered tortellini (delicious) I ordered Beef in tomato sauce with pasta, Thick cuts of beef with all I can say tinned tomatoes and undercooked onions. No flavour. (Awful) Desserts Chocolate fudge cake (divine) Lemon pancake (average) Drinks included Lemonade and cider This came to a total of £130. Bit of a shock considering my food bar starters were below par. The pushy waiter didn't help as all I wanted was a Calzone and ended up with a £35 flavourless dish Will come back and pick my own food and not listen to the pushy waiter Beautiful atmosphere. Really have gone all out on decor. See you soon

We visited Pizza By Goli due to good reviews. I can't figure out why this place has such a good rating when it's only average, overpriced food. Service is not professional at all. The desert was very bad, if I had taken a premade pancake and filled it with mid-range quality ice cream, it would have been exactly the same as what I got served at Pizza By Goli. 2 mains, 2 desserts and 2 soft drinks came up to £85, truly have no idea what I paid that much for.

We hired out the private room downstairs for a surprise bday party for 23 people. The 2 dedicated servers were fantastic throughout, very accommodating and helpful. The staff paid particular attention to dietary requirements which was crucial and appreciated. Food is always fantastic and good portions. (Try the arranchini) ! Great night and honestly couldnt recommend this place more!

These guys are theifs. They got us sat down for dinner and then the waiter was so demeaning. we gave our order and then he altered it himself. He added Arancini and charged us £22. We didnt even order it Then he had the nerve to ask for a tip. We also asked for tap water and they charged for bottled water and said it was the policy. AVOID THIS PLACE BY ALL COSTS. ALL THEY WANT IS MONEY. The food is ok but they wont think twice to pull wool over your eyes be careful

Absolutely lovely meal at Pizza by Goli, our second visit and again we were super impressed with the quality, quantity and service at this Sutton Coldfield gem. We started with garlic bread and arancini. Both starters hit the spot and felt freshly made. We opted for pasta and risotto for mains. Tasted so authentic and full of flavour. We will be back again soon as our son now wants to join us on our next visit. Service was incredible throughout our meal. Thanks Pizza by Goli

Found the pizza quite dry, my allergy was also not well catered for. Instead of swapping for a white sauce, they simply just had cheese on bread. Staff were keen to upsell, for example giving us bottled water when we had asked for tap. Have been highly recommended, but unfortunately not for me. The tables have a glass top with pasta underneath, however there was also glass (I presume from a previous table stop smash) surrounding the pasta. Was also wrongly charged for an item which I didn't realise until much later. Was quickly rectified, thankfully. Very nice pudding!

The place has been redecorated so it looks nicer. The food, however, has lost its quality. Pizza By Goli use to have massive portions of delicious Italian food. Now it's over priced, small portions of mediocre food served by a lazy staff. They all seem to congregate together at the reception or the bar but don't serve the customers. The service was pretty bad, to be honest....

20/04/24 - Our family of 13 gathered to celebrate our lovely Matriach's 85th birthday. All our meals were served quickly with smiles and politeness by the waitresses (except for one waiter who was a lil grumpy). The food was well cooked and very very nice indeed. A happy and cheerful atmosphere 😊 Thank you Goli

15£ for a beer, a place not to come back. Pizza, quiero standard, nothing special, possibly the bread is bought not even done by them. Kids pizza, smaller porción, same prize... Nice atmosphere but I wouldn't recommend it

What a lovely place to eat. We went on a Friday evening and I'm glad we booked as it was busy at 6.30pm. I had the lasagna and garlic bread with cheese which was the size of a pizza so definitely for sharing. The food was amazing. I've never had lasagna like it, it was delicious. The restaurant itself is very welcoming and the staff were courteous and friendly. Will definitely go again

This restaurant lives upto all of the reviews and it is a perfect place to go for a casual dinner, perfect for a date night, family dinner, friends catchup etc. The food and drinks were delicious, service was fantastic. Highly recommend choosing their Garlic bread. One of the best I've ever eaten

Just had a bad experience at “pizza by Goli” Family booking which got double booked , waitresses did there job , but a rude management spoilt our what should have been a special evening, they need to take stock and address their “Bad” attitude towards customers, Never again & I advise you to look elsewhere 😞

The food was flawless, service was ok which is quite impressive given how busy the place was. The atmosphere was a little disappointing, mainly due to the tense front of the house coordinator.

During our work team dinner at this restaurant, we were impressed by the beautiful setting and decor, though the food did not quite match up to the ambiance. Our server was pleasant and pointed out the daily specials, but we opted for other menu items instead. Unfortunately, there was a mix-up with our orders; my colleague's vegetarian pizza came with ham, and my ham pizza was vegetarian. When we pointed this out, it seemed they dashed the ham on top of my pizza and on my colleague’s one they removed the ham, they didn’t prepare fresh ones, as the corrected pizzas returned suspiciously quickly. Additionally, as an Italian, I found the use of cheddar cheese on pizza rather unconventional. Overall, the experience was decent the food didn’t take long to come.

Visited on a Saturday night as a family of 10 for a birthday meal. The table was booked for 7.30 and we were finally was seated at 8.20. The only table for 10 that was vacated was given to another group who walked in for their booking at 8pm And when asked, no member of staff seemed to know what was happening. The restaurant is extremely busy and extremely loud. Tables are crammed into as little space as possible, you're virtually sitting at someone else's table The food is OK, nothing special. Had no apology from any of the staff about our delay and once seated it all seemed very rushed. I would definitely avoid a weekend.

The food was nice. I wouldn't say it was anything special. The service really let it down though. We were made to feel really rushed the whole time and the waiting staff didn't k ow what they were serving. The dishes got mixed up and only, what seemed like, the manager could sort it out. Rather disappointed overall.as I have heard a lot of good things about this restaurant.

Visited last night and despite our party turning up 30mins late still squeezed us in. I believe another table for 2 moved in order for this to happen, huge thanks to them and the staff. The food and service was exceptional why the meatballs aren’t on the regular menu I don’t know, heavenly and the chocolate heart dessert (valentines special) was to die for. Keep doing what you’re doing Goli’s amazing!

Really Lovely and accommodating staff and brilliant food. It is a small business, so wait times can be longer when it's full, but still well worth it! Group gatherings can be a bit more difficult as we found the manager hadn't really given our requests to the staff on the day and it was a bit stressful. But the staff who were in still did all they could to help solve the situation and made it a wonderful experience nonetheless!

First time visiting Ponte Di Legno and I was very impressed. Firstly, I must admit to not being a fan of Italian food, but this was an exception. Upon arrival I couldn’t believe how busy it was with a que forming from the inside and continuing outside which shows how popular this restaurant is. Luckily, I booked in advance and was seated very quickly. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was cosy and well laid out to accommodate many people on both sides of the restaurant. We were well looked after and didn’t feel forgotten at any point. The food here was amazing! I ordered the prawn starter and lamb shank for the main. As a lover of lamb, this was highly satisfying and the meat melts in your mouth. The gravy on top was also delicious. We also shared a range of breads which were all amazing in taste. Really pleased to have discovered Ponte Di Legno and would recommend anyone to try this place out, especially if you’re a fan of Italian food as it’s not likely to disappoint in my eyes with great quality food and preparation. Thank you to all the staff and I shall be returning in the future to sample more of the menu!

I have been dining at Laghis for a long time. This was probably my last time though. We were told the restaurant was closing down soon. This is a sad news for me. I have had so many nice memories of good dinner with dear friends in Laghi's.
