Pizzarellys in Lisburn

Very poor dining experience. Don't think I have ever left a negative review of a restaurant before. Came home and specifically set up an account so I could write this review. I ordered a dish and got something that had a similar name but was very different. Initially I wondered if I had made the mistake. However it was definitely the restaurants fault, as what I had ordered was on the receipt. Initially when I was paying the staff member refused to acknowledge the mistake. I returned to the restaurant and they did admit it was their mistake. They apologised then. I expected to get something off or some recompense, as the food I received would not have been something I would ever have ordered. A very disappointing dining experience. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

Lovely food and staff, John is always so welcoming! Very friendly, portions are hugeeee desserts are unreal

Enjoyed dinner in here. Large menu selection, good food and service

Turkey & ham dinner was lovely & staff number 1 again.

We booked for 6 on Wednesday night, we have been going to pizzarelly's for 30 years for all family birthdays, I have never had a bad meal there, so 5 of us had the combo meal, ribs, chicken fillet strips, salt and pepper chicken wings, massive fresh onion rings, salad, beautiful coleslaw, chips and 3 little pots of sauce, and one of us had a roast beef dinner, it's a brilliant place you bring your own bottle of wine or whatever you drink, the pizzas are brilliant as well, I have probably had the whole menu over the year's, if you haven't experienced pizzarelly's beautiful food you have got to try it, and with bringing your own alcohol the overall price of your meal is so inexpensive, I live on the Isle of wight now and can't wait until next year to see my family and of course have another great meal in pizzarelly's

Great food lots going on & attentive service

Best lasagna I've tasted from the pub grub days of the early nineties, cooked to perfection with gorgeous coleslaw and garlic bread and chunky chips 😋

Lovely place Good Food and great ambience. Great server behaviour was too quick with all her servings and adjustments. We has ordered Roast of the day, Salmon Fillets and Beef lasagna all were good and tasty and freshhh.

Booked table for 2.30pm for lunch as treat for my son's birthday. Service or should I say back if it was dreadful At 3.00pm our order still hadn't Bern taken and then waitress eventually came my son who wanted a pizza gave his order as we all did about 30 minutes waitress came to take and asked who ordered pizza and my son was told we gave nimoizza order something else Is the clue Nit in the name Pizzarellies. But no pizza even though its on the menu I think we were there 3.45pm before food arrived or at least all but one meal arrived and that person had to wait another 20minutes before his pasta arrived We all had finished and waited for dessert menu It didn't come and no waitress in sight to ask Weren't offered dessert or coffee or tea Never again

Very tasty pizza, good value and friendly staff. Also easy street parking nearby.

Had the pizza with BBQ base, smoked chicken and tobacco onions. It was tasty, with a nice crispy base. There wasn't much taste off the BBQ sauce on the base which was a bit disappointing. The garlic and parmesan fries were 😚👌🏻

What can i say booked table for nine people for nephews birthday and got table downstairs. From start to finish staff where amazing so helpful. Now the food we got steaks, lasagna, sunday roasts and the chefs did fantastic job food was all banging. We really enjoyed it and stuffed after had it. Well done to the chefs. Desserts had chocolate eclair and pavlova, sticky toffee pudding. Worth every penny. Nephew loved his birthday treat there. Thanks so much to all the team.

Have not been since pre covid but happy to say its still as good. Food was great. Chicken & smoked bacon too rich - but thats personal taste. Desserts were delicious too. B.Y.O a bonus. Would recommend.

Delicious pizza, nice service and cozy atmosphere

Ordered takeaway away. Prepared on time and good portions. But food was average at best.

An excellent meal, I would happily recommend a visit for a night out. I went with friends last night. Friendly staff, good service.

Great restaurant in Lisburn, good food, good staff, good atmosphere 🙂

food is rlly good although the service is quite poor and they don’t let u order of the kids menu unless ur under the age of 12, i don’t like anything off the adults menu and my granny can’t eat a full course meal and they don’t even let her get a kids meal. They only rinse off the the dirty dishes as when we got our knives, forks and cups they were all dirty.

We booked Pizzarellys for 16 family members on a Saturday night at 17:00 about a month before hand. There was good communication up until the night of the event, changing numbers and confirming. This gave a sense of confidence. We came a bit early and could decoarte the two tables given to us as we requested. It was my granddaughter's 18th birthday. We brought our own cake and alcohol too. The order was placed and everything arrived as ordered. No one was disappointed in the meal. I had tagitalee which was very filling and delicious. The cake arrived with candles at the right time, the restaurant sang happy birthday and lights were dimmed. Totally embarrased (but Loved it) our granddaughter felt special! It was most a pleasant event. Professionally handled. Great atmosphere. Very accomodating staff. Thank you for your service.

Absolutely appaling service today. Called for a delivery, and rang to check the status of delivery over an hour later and was told by the 'manager' that she couldn't tell me a time as they were busy and I asked if she could give a rough guess as it was already over an hour and she responded extremely rudely with 'Ive just already told you I don't know so I don't know when it'll be out' I said okay and she just hung up the phone on me. I rang back and asked to speak with a manager and it was the same girl who then, after I asked to a refund, she said she can't give me one and that she was going to hang up AGAIN because I was rude? For what, for asking for a refund? I ended up going down and collecting it myself and I can assure you I will not be back. Sorry excuse of a 'manager' running that shop and it seems that a lot of people have the same issue with their shocking customer service.

Such a great spot. Was visiting Lisburn and we came here. Did not disappoint. Food was great. You will not be leaving hungry. Such great value. To top it off you can bring your own beer and wine with no corkage charge. I would say the local wine flair does a great trade on the back of here. Can’t wait to return.

Pretty average place to eat. Food is alright as is the service. Tend to only go there when it is chosen for a family event, wouldn't be my choice. That said, it has been around for years so some people must rate it higher than I would.

99% sure that was a supermarket frozen pizza tell tale hard as nails crust definitely not fresh dough . Staff were nice but it’s not good pizza

Service is absolutely atrocious, staff too busy standing talking to each other instead of clearing tables. We had to go looking for a staff member to request our table to be cleared and for the dessert menu. We hadn't finished our desserts when the bill was slapped down on our table, and we're told they were wanting to lock up.

Really great food, service was efficient and friendly, food was nice and hot. The pizza was tasty. My first time here with a big work group and we all enjoyed it.

Food was amazing the staff where very helpful you can bring your own drink

We have been going to to pizzarellys a while now and it never disappoints , food is top drawer, service is pin point, and bring your own is a bonus, ... That's why we have been going a while and will continue to do so... 5 stars.

Fantastic food great value for money plus it's bring your own booze

We've been going to pizzarelly for years. The food has always been lovely with no complaints. The staff are always very friendly. I would highly recommend pizzarellys to anyone looking great food & not getting ripped off with over charged prices. My favourite restaurant in lisburn. Also its bring your own alcohol.

10 of us went, place was freezing, decor is awful, in need of a revamp, toilets equally as bad, Food served at different times, and some of us had to wait on our sides, by then the food we had been served was cold, the veg was soggy, and 3 of us did not get steaks cooked as we had requested, def NOT worth the money , what has happened to this place, it used to be good years ago, as the for the grey haired mab we spoke to, he had no interest in listening, he just wanted paid, we paid and will never return, the servers were pleasant , not able to give zero stars so had to give 1

Absolutely love this place!! Have been so many times a review was well overdue! Booked here for a Christmas dinner. 20 people served and each one said their dinner was delicious! Staff always friendly. Booking again for next week with the 'Girl Group' knowing the food and service will be top standard as always

1st time here after many years. Just wanted an inexpensive meal out after a day's walking with friends. 6 of us had different meals, steaks, meat combo, scampi and pizza. I had the small goats cheese and Red onion marmalade pizza with olives. Best pizza in a long time. 2 of our party gluten free, they were happy with options. Bring your own wine. Keeps cost well down! For 6 main courses, 8 sides , 3 soft drinks, 3 desserts £121. Staff friendly and gave us plenty of time to relax and enjoy our meal. We will be back soon!

Xmas lunch with work and whilst we were well aware of the usual standard of service where it takes 2 hours to actually get food we were left astounded at some of the servers who would 'try' to do gluten free food??? The food was crap at best. Only reason this place is still in business is because they adopt a bring your own policy. Decor outdated, service crap, zero value for money Avoid this place

Xmas lunch was awful. Food was luke warm at best. Steak really chewy. Mash lumpy and cold. Roast potatoes hard as golf balls and pepper sauce flavourless. Last 3 times I have been at this place it has been awful. Avoid this place there is better nearby

Everything was good but it was very cold

We were there as a group of 14. Although we were on the first floor and some of us had walking difficulties, it was not difficult to access our tables. We had one young waitress most of the night (although there were two others who helped as well), and she looked after us really well. There was so much food that some of us had to ask for doggy bags, which helped the situation. Highly recommend Pizzarellys for quality of food, service, and ambience.

LOVELY FOOD, THE RESTAURANT WAS BALTIC. TOILETS NEED UPDATED.... NO HOT WATER, HAND DRYER DIDNT WORK...REALLY RUN DOWN AND DIRTY ! ITS A PITY THE DECOR DIDNT MATCH THE FOOD !!!!

28 of us booked in here on Saturday for a Baby Shower. Not one person complained about their meal. Very enjoyable and the staff were very accommodating! Thank You all !

Went there for a family meal. Staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was excellent and reasonable priced. It is BYO with no corkage charge, which helps with costs. We will be back

The food and service is usually very good. However, when ordering take out we encountered a rude man. The pizza order was wrong (due to fair misunderstanding) however when called back made no effort to fix it This is very disappointing seeing as we have ordered several times and are frequent visitors. Such a shame to be treated so poorly as we are regulars.

Food excellent. Service whilst definitely not unpleasant could have been better. When we arrived there was no one to seat us. After waiting a few moments we noticed a sign upstairs which read 'wait here to be seated' or something to that affect. We went up stairs and waited 3-5 mins during which time a member of staff walked passed us. Upon their return they pointed us back downstairs. Again, once seated, staff member was attentive but overall service could be improved slightly.

Highly recommended had an amazing Sunday lunch yesterday with my German family. Service and food probably the best I have had in a long time. Chef Chris a credit to you restaurant very busy with parties great atmosphere.

This is a local restaurant here in Lisburn that we have dined in for about 40 years from our sons were young. We are still enjoying great food here in what is still a very popular restaurant. Apart from great food and service, you can bring your own alcohol which is now rare! Well worth a visit but book first as its always busy....And bring your own bottle !!!

Food good let down by service-went tonight (sun 24/9) Table of 6, weren’t many in when we arrived, ordered and waited 45 mins at least for food, when it came they had realised they made a mistake and had to re order a kids pizza, he had ate the chips before the pizza came. The food was good and tasty with big enough portions. Went to pay and dealt with by lady who was either the supervisor or manager-wasn’t asked if food was ok, if everything was ok or any chat at all. Don’t think we will be back for a while, better places and friendlier service in other restaurants in area Only saving grace as I said was food was good

My local go to BYO restaurant, food & service excellent.....

Very friendly, food is 1st class, this is my favourite place to eat

I came here today with my girlfriend for a meal the food was nice but could be better the starter was cold and the main was not to bad

Always plenty on your plate and the food is very good for the price. The take away menu is a must!

Food is OK but could be so much better. Pizza had minimum amount of tomato sauce and lacked depth of flavour , no garlic or basil. We also had the burger, it was over cooked and a bit dry. Its disappointing not to turn out such straight forward uncomplicated food to a higher standard

Went for a wedding reception, the food was FANTASTIC! I cannot fault it. The staff were very helpful (I am type 1 diabetic) they were pleasant, well turned out and couldn’t do enough. Yes it was a little cramped, it could do with a face lift but all in all it was a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend it for large parties, families etc I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed.

Have been to pizzerellys on 3 occasions recently and the service and food was very good , thank you

Roast beef absolutely beautifull, best meal in a long time.

Excellent food at a great price. Bring your own wine. I have been several times and have never been disappointed.

Had a roast beef lunch on Sunday. Yummy

The best food I've eaten in Lisburn so far!!!

Food is ok but the pizza looks like its assembled by a kid in home economic class

Fantastic food, great price, great staff, never dissapoints

Brilliant food, quality for a very reasonable price. Service was good, but a little slow, although ironically this is because it was packed - an indication of its popularity. BYO works for me as well

What's not to like great homely food at reasonable prices.

Sadly poor. Met by extremely grumpy man at the door and barely a hello. Interior is dirty and grimy. Staff generally not very friendly. My lasagne was clearly reheated and was cold in the middle. Same man took payment for the bill and was just as grumpy as we were leaving. Cheap but not cheerful and has gone downhill since Covid.

Great food, great craic, great value

We decided to go and have a meal as we heard good reports about pizzarellys, but no we ordered two pizzas and garlic bread. the crust on the pizza was very hard and was hard to eat, the garlic bread was something like you buy in Lidli it was soft and tasteless, I don't think I will be going back but I will leave it up to you if you want to try it.

Decent grub, great service. Lasagna was better than average but the roast beef was amazing. Good atmosphere, staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive.

Pizzarellys is a Rite of Passage in Lisburn. I don't know one person from here that hasn't celebrated one birthday or graduation or leaving party in Pizzarellys! There's a reason it's been in business since 1978. The menu is expansive with options for even the pickiest eater, but well priced and the BYO with free corkage means even the tightest budget can enjoy a really nice night out. Winners for us this week are the Chicken Italiano and the Veggie Lasagne. For dessert we shared a few options but would recommend the giant chocolate éclair and their jam and coconut sponge, which brought me right back to Primary School Dinners in the best possible way!!

Full drunk chavs letting there kids run riot went once that was enough Food very average

We love this place this was our 3rd time. The Alfredo sauce is amazing !!! The bruschetta is excellent too.

Great food. Reasonable price. Recommended

Got a battered cod and omg never seen as much fish on 1 plate was lovely very pleased with food

Always beautiful food high quality and fabulous portions x staff very attentive and friendly

Hadn't been to Pizzarellys in over 15 years and if it's another 15 before I'm back I won't be sorry. Yes I can't argue it was busy but if you want cheap nosh and don't mind what you get, go right ahead! Serving staff were pleasant. But...decor and interior very grimy, taps in toilet only trickle of water, chipped side plate, food....greasy and hard as a brick goujons, dried up lasagne, something black floating in the jug of water.. Sadly I'd only score it 4 out of 10 and that's being generous!

Staff were nice. Food was poor. Three stars for staff, one for food. Two stars overall. Pizza was ok just. I would not go back or recommend it.

Just back from Pizzarellys. I had the special, 10oz sirloin, mushrooms, tobacco onions and garlic cubes. My wife had a home made pizza with toppings of her choice along with garlic cubes. All were cooked to perfection with my steak perfect. It is a BYO with no corkage charge. A great meal served by friendly and professional staff. Not to be missed

Prompt service, Good food at a reasonable price. Friendly and efficient staff. We will definitely return.

Staff friendly, attentive and worked hard to meet everyone's needs (we were a big group). Food was ok, portion sizes were good. One negative, was that Covid safety measures were very low (staff not wearing masks, no QR checks etc.). I would recommend restaurant, if...

I have never felt the urge to write a review following a poor meal as I accept that a variety of factors come into it, however tonight I feel I ought too. My wife and I had several pizzas delivered, the service was prompt and...

I went during the eat out to help out scheme and the food was lovely and the staff were great 👍🏻. My family and I each had a main course and a couple of drinks all for £15.40

Discovered this place by accident. Food is simply 5 star. Presentation and quality better than most upscale restaurants. Service was fast and efficient even when full.

Really great menu with lots of choice. Quality of food was excellent and restaurant was busy and everyone else’s food looked great. Not only was the food great but the price was really good value . BYOB as well!! Will def be back.

Can't recommend this place highly enough. They accepted a last minute booking on Valentines day. The food was exceptional, service great and an even better atmosphere. I will be returning ASAP and thanks to everyone for making this a grat night.

New menu fantastic, some new choices and some old favourites definitely worth the visit. All eight in our group had various meals, we all enjoyed our food. Great service with lovely staff. Bringing your own wine makes it a very reasonable night . Will be...

established in 1978,but iv never been Charistmas dinner was just ok,however the deserts looked great and everyone else enjoyed them (I didn't try any) place looks a bit tired, the service was very good,everything arrived at once and not too long to wait

Still sitting with colleagues and NO food. Ordered one hour ago. About to eat my napkin. Where's my FOOD???

We went here with a group of 20 and from start to finish everything was perfect. We were seated in the downstairs area so we had plenty of room. The waitress was amazing for taking the order of 20 she was enthusiastic and had plenty of jokes for the table she dealt with us all really well. The menu catered for everyone and the food was out very quickly with no mistakes and super delicious with the waitress then checking if everyone was happy and needed anything else all 20 of us were impressed with the lovely lady so well done ! We will most certainly be back.

Group of 4. Taken to table upstairs and there was no heating. We were later told it was broke as the waitress plugged in a blow heater. We sat with our coats on most of the time.Food just ok. Staff were lovely but that did not make up for eating dinner with coats onDefinately won't be back.

We booked the function room for my husbands 70th.

I was on a trip with some friends, and we stopped at Pizzarelli's on the way to our accommodation. We had ordered at about 7pm and were then kept waiting for 2 hours without any sign of them preparing food at all. At 9 o'clock we were finally told they would be 'under 10 minutes'. Guess what? The last of them took another half an hour! To add insult to injury, no discount or anything...

Booked a table here for Sunday lunch for five and asked preferably downstairs as a few of us difficulty climbing stairs. When we arrived we were shown to a table downstairs but before we even sat down another waitress said no you's are upstairs. Slightly disappointed but with friends help we made it upstairs. We were given the menus and waited for them to take a drinks order as a few of us were driving. Having waited almost 20 mins we had to go looking for a waitress to take our order of drinks and food. The waitress wasn't sure what soft drinks they even had in stock. Eventually our starters were served which were first class but again we waited a long time on our main meal which was superb and again we had a lengthy wait on dessert's. Service extremely disappointing. Having said that I would give 5 stars all round for the food and cost. Maybe management need to look at their staff structure so customers aren't kept waiting so long in between courses. I definitely would recommend Pizzarellys highly for their food but not their service.

Went here with a group of friends for dinner and we all ended up having the 2 course special. Food was so delicious and my chocolate fudge cake and ice cream for dessert was the business Staff were very attentive and as the restaurant is byo it really keeps the cost of a great night out affordable. Will definitely return as we picked up a copy of the Christmas Menu as we left.

Went here for lunch, had Nachos to start, then Turkey and Ham for main, then ice cream and Carmel sauce with nuts. Overall the food and service was amazing, can’t fault it one bit will be back.

We have been going here for years and years -we keep coming back for a reason- great food and great staff! We had our engagement party, husband’s 40th and lots of other special memories here and recently had our son’s 21st birthday here. We were able to decorate the private room upstairs and pre-order meals for everyone. Staff could not have been more helpful and as always the food was amazing. We look forward to many more special meals at Pizzarellys. There is a reason it is the longest serving restaurant in Lisburn.

There was over 20 of us and we got great service, food was excellent and very reasonable. Not everyone got pizza so saw the extent of the menu. Everyone had a great meal. Its bring your own too

Last night was our second visit as a group of 25 to Pizzarellys restaurant. We had a special menu for our group which covered every taste. Staff are really friendly and helpful and the food was great quality, hot and tasty. In addition, the restaurant is bring your own bottle making it a great value night out. We will be back!!

This is just a fab place to eat. Very welcoming every time even when they are busy. The food is gorgeous, good quality, excellent portions and beautifully laid out. I couldn’t fault this establishment at all. You also can bring along your own vino or beer. Just a pleasure to go week on week or month on month and always get a good meal.
