Uplands cafe in Southwark

incredible pizza, incredible beer and an incredible owner could not recommend more and a student discount

I booked a table here for valentines day and the food here is good, but does much the same as other pizza spots around Swansea. The service however was awful, after arriving, nobody came to seat us, but there was also not a sign to seat ourselves. After going to the bar to ask someone if we seat ourselves, he stared at me in silence and then took us to a table which was still dirty and which we had to share with another couple. We had to ask him to clear the table which took him 5 minutes. He then gave us our menus and mumbled that he would give us a 10% discount, and we’d only just sat down. It took him another 10-15 to come and take our order, and that was only after id asked if it was table service or pay at the bar. The starter and pizza come and theyre fine. But they do not bring us nor offer us any dips, or the oils which were on other tables, so I go grab that myself. We finish our food and then it takes another 15 minutes for the bill to come, which in fact isnt brought and i had to ask for at the bar. Our experience was bad but I cant help but feel worse for the line of couples at the bar and door, waiting up to 20 minutes for seats which were readily available, or any interaction at all from the wait staff. I feel even worse for the couple next to us, who had to ask to be seated, grab their own menus, and waited 30+ minutes for someone to acknowledge them so they could order drinks. There was also no music in the restaurant aside from that which the chefs were listening to, and so the sound of complaints could be heard multiple tables across, or the sound of nothing at all. Im usually one to cut a lot of slack to wait staff. But this was appalling.

We had a fabulous dinner at Papi’s in Valentine’s Day! The place is so quaint and we loved the atmosphere and vibe. The pizzas were fantastic. Our server, Emma, was run off her feet, but she was friendly and attentive! We cant wait to return!

Lovely little place in the uplands swansea staff very welcoming beautiful pizzas also had delivery by deliveroo by a very nice man also named Andrew

Food was good, but service was slow - despite few guests at that time - and they charged a mandatory gratuity service charge (tip). Can't abide by being forced to tip, especially when the service was slow, will not be coming back.

I've got to take away from here to weeks ago and it was delicious same price though however for eating or takeaway

I have a long history with Papi's, ever since they opened in Pontardulais. Heck I even came here for pizza during my wife's 48 hour labour! If I could eat nothing else it would be pizza from Papi's. I would die happy. So, here I am in Uplands, 6 years after my first experience and our charismatic waiter just served me a Lasagne pizza... Oh my... the bechamel base, mozzarella, ham, parmegiano, basil and Ragu were so good in contrast to the crispy outer crust and blistered edges. It collided 2 of Italy's best creations into a super pizza that everyone should try at least once. Do yourselves a favour and get down to Papi's in Uplands and try this culinary delight (which they just agreed to put on the menu!)

This was really good, definitely will be going back. Very fun wait staff as well.

If I go for pizza in Swansea, it's usually Papis. The restaurants are nice, one in Uplands and one in Mumbles.. both are nice. The pizza is fresh, well sized, flavourful, and well presented. I've never had takeaway so can only comment on the dine in quality.

Lovely food and service. Easily the best pizza I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Second time going there I got the tricolore with olives and the buffala mozzarella is dreamy. On any weekday the atmosphere in there is very romantic and cozy. But on a weekend it can be very busy and loud. Not off-putting levels of noise if you're out with friends but on a date it can be a bit much. Overall 5 stars all round. Papi's is now easily in my top 5 places to eat out in Swansea!

Small Italian place owned by Italian man. An atmosphere inside is very cosy. Photos of Italian places on the walls and Italian music in the air. Clean place with good and fast service. I got bruschetta, pizza with glass of peroni and tiramisu with cup of coffee for dessert. I can recommend everything I ate this day. Definitely will back.

Superb service, delicious food.

Pizza is amazing, but expensive.

Had a lovely meal here, amazing cooked pizza done on a wood fire oven by Italians 👌🏻

On the quest to find the perfect pizza experience we stumbled across this gem in uplands Warm, welcoming, authentic and friendly. The staff were attentive and provided the best service. The food was delicious. Highly recommend

Birthday made special. Delicious food. Great value for money, lovely atmosphere. Definatley go again.

Great tasting food, lovely restaurant. Friendly chatty owner. Will definitely return.

Fantastic service with the waiters being welcoming and quick, excellent food, no complaints

Great environment. Really tasty pizza.

Hands down the nicest pizza I've ever eaten. Truffle and parmesan fries also excellent.

I went for take away, quick service, brilliant friendly staff, amazing quality food, would highly recommend!

10.0 Pizza. Absolute mastery of the craft.

Papis was excellent, the truffle and parmesan fries are definitely 👌 and the waiter hid his feelings well when we requested pineapple. We had 2 free glasses of wine after they forgot to charge us. 5/7 Excellent.

Had pizza's from Papi's before and they have been great. Really disappointed last night, two pizzas cost £30 but the topping were minimal, felt a bit ripped off! Won't buy there again.

Qualità della materia prima e processo di lievitazione corretto... Tipica pizza napoletana con il bordo bello alto e ben lievitato.. pizza davvero buona meglio di molte simil pizzerie italiane complimenti davvero

Amazing atmosphere, exceptional staff and remarkable food. Best Italian pizza in Swansea. A nice selection of wines/beer as well. If you like Italian food, go here. The vegan options are incredible as well, vegan mozzarella is offered as a substitute on all pizzas and you can pick and choose what you would like/remove on your pizza as well. That being said, the pizzas on offer are all beautiful as they are.

Pizza flavour lovely im a regular customer when i stay in Swansea but this time the toppings were very sparse considering the price. Has been better in the past. Very dissappointed.

Reminds of home, excellent pizza, cosy restaurant

Great service, great food. Warm atmosphere cannot fault this little gem!

I really like The vibe you get from being in Uplands, Papi's pizza is no different, it has a great atmosphere and staff is friendly, pizza is lovely and their Sardinian beer is so light ... Not to mention the music which took me back time ...

Authentic Sardinian pizza. Definitely some of the best that I've tasted in the UK. The owners seem to be great people - I saw them having a hearty conversion with my Italian family members. Overall super atmosphere and worth the visit for an enjoyable evening

Best pizza outside of Italy, and probably better than most there too.

Best pizza around. Much better then pizza boys.

Superb pizzas - so tasty and really generous size.

Perfect pizza experience. Excellent value, friendly attentive staff. Nice Italian pop music added to the occasion.

The best 100% authentic Italian pizza you'll find in the UK. How amazing to find this in Swansea. The chef is from Napoli. I've travelled all over Italy and you'll have to go to Naples, the home of pizza, to get anything to beat this.

Una delle migliori pizze di Swansea

Delicious pizza. Great takeaway service. Nice location.

Previously I've had good experience with Papi's but on my most recent visit I found that the staff were very inattentive. I was rushed when ordering and eating and had to ask for basic things to be brought to the table, such as glasses for our drinks etc.

One of my favourite restaurants in Swansea! Very friendly staff and great food, I'd recommend it anyone!

The best pizza. The staff is welcoming the place is wonderful attention to detail !!!

The closest to Italian pizza I've had in UK! Lovely environment and very friendly service! As an Italian, it was like being back home for a couple of hours! Grazie

What a lovely place! Staff is very friendly and welcoming, pizza is great (5-star dough!!) and atmosphere is welcoming. The closest thing to a real Italian pizza I had in Wales. Absolutely recommended.

Currently THE BEST (proper 🇮🇹 style) PIZZA 🍕 in Town ! 😍😍

Great restaurant. Love the restaurant vibe, aesthetics and food. Great service from Laura - thanks, will return!

Apareció esta mañana por un poco de E & be. Qué café tan encantador, mi primera visita, pero mi esposo ha estado antes Cafe es encantador y limpio y tiene asientos en el frente, que es un lugar soleado en días agradables. Pedimos huevo, faro y burbuja, llegó rápidamente y estaba delicioso. El batido de chocolate estaba delicioso pero un poco pequeño para 2. 50? Sin duda volveremos cuando esté de nuevo en la zona y sin duda lo recomendaría.

Solía ​​vivir en East Dulwich y solía usar este café un sábado por la mañana. Luego me mudé y ocasionalmente viajaba de regreso los fines de semana, pero nunca estaba abierto. Pensé que se habían cerrado. Bueno, no lo han hecho y el café es tan bueno como puedes encontrar. Limpio, super amable y excelente comida. Pedí un desayuno de huevos fritos, tocino, salchichas, frijoles, champiñones y papas fritas con tostadas crujientes y una taza de té adecuada. "Hombre vivo" fue bueno. Me encanta una buena fritura y he estado en muchos de los "llamados" mejores "cafés" de Londres y donde quiera que vaya, siempre me siento modesto y creo que "las salchichas no son tan buenas como las de las Tierras Altas"

A menudo conocer a la familia aquí en el almuerzo para una comida, servicios rápidos de personal y la comida también es buena.
