We'd come to the st David's, Cardiff branch after a really positive experience at the Bridgend one. Apart from one great waiter, the service was really poor. We were seated without children's menu's (5 kids). After a further 10 mins we had to ask for the kids menu, and then a further 10 minutes we had to get up and ask for the crayons, then another 5 for basic drinks. The restaurant was only half full. There was zero hospitality, no smile, no apology for the wait. The waitress served us with a still face and was visibly irritated. Her manager seemed the same, flustered and irritated at basic requests. Appreciating how much it costs these days to take your family out, this is entirely unacceptable. We'll not be visiting Zizzis again. We understand this is a management issue (who they recruit and/or the attitude notes of staff on the floor).

Pan Fried Salmon & Pesto Risotto £17.25. Not a good experience. First of all we were unable to use our Tesco vouchers as there was an event on nearby. We stayed and both had the salmon risotto at full price. However, the salmon was slightly overcooked, the risotto was not particularly creamy as it had been described on the menu. The portion sizes were small (I am not a large eater) and were hurriedly put together. My portion had a few pea shoots on it as garnish and my friends had too many. Needless to stay we did not stick around for dessert. We did mention to the waiter and were given a free drink each so we had coffee.

Nice food in Zizzi, I like this place considering it's a chain, they're all pretty good

Poor service. Food took over half an hour to wait, and that was only after enquiring as to where our order was. Food very average and lukewarm. Part of our order was missing, had to prompt staff. Most staff were standing around on their phones, totally uninterested in customers. Very confusing ordering system, could have walked out without paying and no one would have taken any interest. Will stick to other Italian chain restaurants in future.

Food was lovely. Plenty of choice. Server was helpful with allergies and using the app. Had Tesco clubcard partners vouchers to spend. Told staff this when we arrived. Same member of staff took our order. Omitted to tell us that they couldn't be used for the set meal. Discussed this when the bill arrived. Too late then. Would not stop me from going again, but the bill (apart from drinks) would have been covered by the vouchers, so was not expecting to pay the additional £23 and now have part used vouchers to use by May.

Nice lasagna, had a tea with it but was pipping hot so could not drink with my meal so beware of that. Staff were standing right next to our table all throughout the meal talking and staring in our direction, felt very awkward and I comfortable trying to eat, please address this and move the staff station

BAH HUMBUG! After a hectic shopping trip today my partner and I decided to stop in for some lunch. Shown to our seats and the atmosphere was very subdued. The waitress who served us was very pleasant. The food was nice but not memorable. Upon entering we were informed that no vouchers were being accepted over the Christmas period and it also turns out that over the Christmas period that Blue light discount has been stopped too. How very Christmassy of you Zizzi at a time of the year when a little discount could help some people through. Even though your website states that you do accept blue light🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️

What a disappointing visit from start to finish. Due to an event in the Arena opposite the restaurant Zizzi weren’t accepting affiliate vouchers or parent offers. There was no mention of this when I booked a table the day before. Also due to the event they had taken the Classic pizza off the menu - as the chef would have to make two types of pizza dough…they eventually obliged in making me a rustica pizza but served on a plate (I refuse to eat off a chopping board). The dish arrived and I had to send it back, it was so thin and crispy and was more akin to a poppadom with toppings - I told them they shouldn’t call it a pizza. The chef’s excuse was that the garlic oil made it crispy…it was inedible. I ordered the Zucca salad instead which was ok but not great. The manager was very nice about it all so I will give them credit for that. This has put me off Zizzi for a very long time. Everything about it used to be so much better.

Went to zizzi's while shopping as usual,but the service and food not the usual standard. I ordered the Casareccia Delle Casa which was very dry&only had 3 tiny bits of chicken in it? Partner had the Herb Rolled Pork Belly which again very dry&hard&greasy potatoes. The service was very slow,but its wasn't that busy to be honest! Staff seemed to be talking amongst themselves rather than attending its customers! We wouldn't rush back to be honest

Had some lovely lunches with hubby in this restaurant. I do love the garlic bread with balsamic glaze as a starter. Simple and yet delicious. The king prawn linguine has been my main course for several occasions. While hubby favourite is lasagne. Sometimes, simplicity is the best.

I enjoyed my lunch at Zizzi today although the menu appears to have changed. The Classic Pizza's appear to have gone and the prices for Rustica Pizza's seem to have gone up slightly. I ordered the Pinoli Pizza today with Red Chilli's. I was given Riquito Pepper's not Red Chilli's. This has happened before. Despite Red Chilli's being very cheap this branch of Zizzi don't serve them but they won't tell you that. They'll just serve you something else. Riquito Pepper's are not spicy. I asked the staff for Jalapeños and fair play I was given a plate of them. The Pinoli Pizza was very tasty. The staff were rushed off there feet but were very friendly.

My boyfriend and I visited Zizzi for our anniversary, and unfortunately, our experience was marred by disappointing service. Despite the promising menu, the waitstaff seemed disinterested, avoiding eye contact and taking a considerable amount of time to attend to us in our corner table. Ordering through the phone added to the impersonal touch, and when the food arrived, they neglected to inquire about our preferences, leaving our pastas cheese-less. Additionally, I tried to use my uni days discount, but the waiters refused, citing an event in Cardiff. I would have appreciated being informed about this beforehand - when being seated, as the chaotic experience left us feeling frustrated and disappointed. It's unfortunate that such a special occasion was overshadowed by this issue.

The food here is great and the service from ordering to food coming out was pretty quick. Just a couple of little niggles, the food for a small child could have been a little better presented. The spaghetti Bolognese for a 3 year old came with very long spaghetti and the ice cream came with a large spoon where a smaller one would have been more appropriate. Other than this everything else was spot on.

Booked a table here several days before the date we wanted and at the time stated that we wanted to use Tesco Clubcard vouchers and asked for them to let us know if this was not possible on the relevant date. Received confirmation of the booking by email but when we arrived at the restaurant there was a sign stating that Clubcard vouchers could not be used on that day. We queried this with the waitress and she said they could not be used and so we asked to speak to the manager. He spoke to us and could see on his system that on booking we had mentioned this but he said that they don’t have time to deal with any requests or comments on booking and he completely refused to accept the vouchers. We were very unhappy with this and so walked out and went to Pizza Express upstairs who were happy to accept the vouchers on that date so we were happy to take our business elsewhere.

We were in the Capital for an evening watching Jimmy Carr. My fancied going to an Italian restaurant, so I booked a table on their website. Which was really easy to do. The restaurant was very crisp and clean, with plenty of seating. Pizzas are cooked in an authentic pizza oven. The bar had copies amounts of bottled wine. The staff were attentive during each course and regularly checked on everything to do with our visit. They were also friendly, welcoming, and professional. We even shared a laugh and smile. We both decided to have the 3 course set menu, which had a decent variety to choose from. For starters we both chose the King Prawn Spiedini. The prawns were succulent and cooked to perfection, the accompanying garlic sauce was delicious. For mains my wife chose the Spaghetti Chorizo Carbonara and I chose the Pan-fried Sea Bass. The Carbonara was rich, creamy, and plentiful. The bass was succulent, smoky, and had a lovely crispy skin with caramelisation. For dessert my wife had the Lemon Swirl Cheesecake and I had the Tiramisu. Both desserts were light, refreshing, and a perfect end to a perfect meal.

Arrived at 8:30pm. Restaurant not particularly busy, maybe half full. We stood in the doorway for a minute or two waiting to be shown to a table. I caught the eye of the young woman at the (empty) bar area, who quickly looked away and continued fiddling with some receipts. Another member of staff, taking an order at a table saw us, looked at the same young woman, expectantly, but she chose to ignore him too. At this point we decided to take our business elsewhere, Cardiff isn't exactly short of places to eat and I'd rather go to one where the staff actually care about the service they provide.

We had to wait ages for our food (45 mins) without any heads up. When it eventually came out both meals were cold. The staff we very apologetic and took it back to heat them up. When they came back my partner’s pasta dish was pure stodge with no sauce/flavour. My pizza had just been badly made - cheese but no tomato sauce on one side, and tomato sauce but no cheese on the other. They agreed to refund my pizza. We then had to wait so long for the pudding (a slice of cheesecake - so no cooking required) that we gave up as by now we were so frustrated. The staff we dealt with were really lovely so kudos to them. This place needs more staff and better management.

Came here with a friend as I had never tried Zizzi’s before! It was an overall good experience. The vibe was good and the food was also nice! I had the calzone and my friend had spaghetti bolognese. The dough of my calzone was amazing, it tasted like garlic bread but I wasn’t too fussed on the filling! It was quite bland considering. My friend seemed happy with her pasta too! We also had 2 mocktails which were really refreshing. I would recommend if you’re coming here as a group of 4+ that you book a table, especially on the weekend! Only because we saw some people get turned away. Lucky there was only 2 of us!

Came here tonight first time in a long time, greeted and sat to a table but that’s as far as the service went, resorted to ordering via QR code for mains to be over an hour later on a fairly quite Tuesday night. To top off the restaurant have decided they no longer accept taste card as they are one of the busier branches they don’t need too. Food was ok when it arrived.

We had a meal on 2nd Aug there between 4:30pm and 6pm. Really not impressed with the overall experience, especially the service. Not busy in there at all, 4/5 tables at the most the whole time we were there.. quiet enough for staff to be stood chatting. Food was average at best i.e cheese fondue was like packet white sauce, bland carbonara, prawn linguine and sea bass fillet. Chocolate brownie was a dry sponge, cheesecake was not set properly. During the 3 courses we were not checked on to even attempt to rectify any issues. We weren’t asked if we wanted any more drinks. Sat around waiting for the table to be cleared whilst staff stand around and chat. Hospitality is very up and down everywhere you go, not everyone is going to be satisfied. But when the restaurant was this quiet, there’s no excuse to miss the basics. This visit definitely was not worth the money.

In 2023, you can't even get a pizza anymore. Zizzis is the worst place to get food on the street. You have to order online not with a person. I guess it's so Zizzi don't have any responsibility or something but it's just ridiculous you can't order with a person now. New menu means I can't eat any decent pizza. As a vegetarian with a nut allergy I can only get a boring margherita pizza. You can't edit the order online and the staff refuse to take your order in person especially if you have an allergy. All I need is for them to not add pine nuts to the pizza but they won't do that. I hate being told that I can eat pine nuts even with a nut allergy when I can't as literal doctors have told me. It's almost a near miss and reportable. It's a disgrace. How can they get it so wrong in 2023?! Has anyone at zizzis spoken to someone with an allergy just to see how it should be dealt with without embrassment or faff? It doesn't need to be this hard. Other restaurants understand and get it fine like nandos. What happened Zizzi? It used to be so good but it's genuinely the worst place to go in the street now. Main factor being that you can order with people in other restaurants and they don't discriminate against people with allergies. 0/5 stay away!!!

Food and drinks was not very good my classic pizza was awful in taste , the cold drinks were warm , the staff just looked miserable apart from one staff member so it made the atmosphere a bit quiet as the staff weren’t busy at all and there wasn’t much choice for people who don’t like certain foods and drinks and on menus they were falsely advertising things they don’t even have from the menu , the toilets were not very clean and not much water from the taps came out as well . In my opinion would not recommend and my family & I will not be coming here again

A comfortable restaurant in St David’s centre with air con - much needed in this warm weather. The allergy selector menu is very good and there is plenty of choice with those who have a gluten allergy. My gripe was having to use the Zizzi app to order anything. Why can’t staff take our orders these days? The food was excellent however as were the desserts. Have take a star off because of having to use the app and when paying online you HAVE to leave a tip. I am happy to leave a tip for good service but why should I leave a tip when it is self service and I am the one doing the ordering!

Love their rustic pizzas. Too big for me to finish, so I generally eat half and take half home. This is an update for the branch in St David's 2 as of 13th June 2023. Poor service because there were not enough staff serving, i.e.only 3. They were rushed off their feet and didn't have the time to give full attention to the guests in there. My drinks took some time to arrive. They also had to service deliveroo people, which further delayed the service I received. As a result, my pizza was cold and had a more soggy and chewy base than usual, and despite complaining, I decided not to take advantage of the offer to cook another pizza. as It was so obvious there was not going to be any difference because it had already hung around because of the lack of staff and ut hD git busier. Very disappointing. I'd recommend the one in High Street over this one or another place as you can't move for pizza places in Cardiff. Pizza Express is a good one I also use as well as the Frywnes pizza in the market, who also have a wood fired oven, but there're plenty of others nearby. I will probably give this place a miss. Maybe they had a bad day, but they gave me one, too. Shame really as businesses are claiming they are struggling and don't seem to make any effort nowadays.

I came here for a birthday meal after previously been a lover of Zizzis. I had a free meal as it was my birthday so that was a bonus, however wish I had booked elsewhere. The service from staff was excellent from the time we went in until we left . The place still has a nice atmosphere and was busy for a Saturday afternoon. The food however was awful, my meatballs tasted like packet stuffing balls, nothing like the tasty meaty meatballs they use to make. Although the sauce and pasta was ok the whole dish seemed like it was frozen and then microwaved quickly. Although my meal was free I would have rather bought a supermarket chilled meal which would have been tastier . However I couldn’t complain as it was free but definitely will not be going back ever. When the bill arrived they were going to charge me for it but then took the discount offer off but only when I pointed it out.

My Peroni then arrived very quickly with some free lovely twirly crisps. I ordered a classic pizza and it was excellent. Very tasty. I used the toilets during my visit and I have to say they are the nicest smelling toilets ever! This attention to detail in this Zizzi is very impressive. I'm looking forward to returning soon.

Myself and my daughter visited Monday 5 December for lunch. Excellent service and lovely meals. Lasagne was delicious and piping hot. Definitely will be returning 👍

We attended yesterday for a works Christmas meal and it was perfect. There were 13 of us in total and all the food and drinks were delicious. The service was fantastic and the staff were really lovely. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Absolutely awful. Do not waste your time and money here. Had starters which were tasteless and cold. And then waited an hour and a half for our mains. The staff kept walking past, didn’t know a thing. We were still hungry after ordering our starters and mains so we decided to get deserts. Which can I say, the hot chocolate salted caramel brownie. Was harder than the iceberg that the titanic. Overall this meal effected our mental health and made us broke. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

3rd time we’ve visited this Zizzi and by far our best visit. We had a bad experience at another place in the chain so was reluctant but due to other places being busy and going to an event we opted to go here instead. Good was good as always and a big shout out to our waitress Cathy who looked after us. Although she was busy she had the time to come over and speak with us and offered excellent service throughout so a big thank you from us! N & J

Me and my friend wanted to go out and celebrate a nice meal, was ready to drop ££££££££ (and did that night, elsewhere). We are metalheads and they took one look at us and judged us. The restaurant was empty, I saw space on the table booking system but was told they could not have us. What nonsense. I was wearing a black normal dress with heels, my friend in a jacket with black jeans. Pretentious, arrogant and very rude. Spend your money elsewhere because the staff here are rude, judgemental and snobby. Not a place for everyone - only go here if you want to pretend you are better than others like the staff do. What a shame because this used to be nice but apparently now you can only get a table if you meet their arbitrary standards. Absolute disgrace. Head office needs to come in and sort them out.

One of the dirties restaurants I’ve been to. Food was served wrong. Asked a member of staff to close the door as it was freezing, but wouldn’t. Bad experience. Won’t be returning.

Bon plats mais service un peu lent.

We should have left when we had to brush food off the seats to sit down. The place was filthy, sticky seats, sticky tables, piles of food/dust/sweets under the table/window ledge. Stairs dirty. Staff, when we actually got to speak to them, were nice enough...

Great food, very fast and great service from the staff. Almost didn’t go there because of the reviews but our experience here was amazing, couldn’t recommend more!

Food was lovely. We requested a window table when booking and this is where we sat. A bit of a wait for our mains but it was freshly cooked and the restaurant was busy. Very family friendly and a nice atmosphere, with helpful staff. Not...

We stood for over 10 minutes waiting before anyone came to us. Then, despite the restaurant having lots of empty tables and me and my friend saw free space on the booking software but they told us there was no room. Could have told us that before we were made to stand like lemons waiting for ages when we are hungry and we can't think of any reason for them refusing us apart from the fact we are alternative in appearance and they were being snobs. Terrible customer service and will never darken Zizzis door again - we were ready to spend good money on a nice meal too. No company who is snobby will get a penny from me. Shame on you Zizzi.

Family meal for 6. I ordered salmon but they didn’t have any. Only 4 starters arrived as there had been an error with our order. The others had finished their starters after waiting for so long. We asked that the missing starters would come with...

Food fine, woeful customer service. Avoid. We’d been to the St Mary’s street Zizzis which is great and thought we’d try this one. Very slow service which was then a mixture of table service with pen and paper and an App /QR code self ordering...

Not a good experience. 4 of us dined. The starters were ok and the cocktails good. Vegan risotto was very oily and bland, over half was left uneaten. Chicken risotto started well but two lumps of gristle left half of that uneaten. Pork with crackling...

Food was great. Your standard Zizzi. Hot and fresh Italian! However, service left a lot to be desired. Took a while to be served and an age the get the bill especially if paying with clubcard vouchers.

Freezing cold, door open. Chicken was processed, breaded & fried. Brocoli was cold. Table was dirty & bench coverings need replacing. A lot of money for a very low quality meal in an uncomfortable room.

A regular for me. Good food and decent space. Can get a little pricey but the pizzas are big and yummy!

Staff does not care at all. Waited for 2 hours to have what we ordered considering that it doesn't take that much to cook pasta and the desert takes 5 minutes to prepare. The restaurant wasn't full-3 waiters with 6 tables always brough the next...

I went here for lunch against my instincts but with my wife's, as usual spot on. Service could have been better, waiter staff seemed more interested in themselves than the customer. Just IMO. The foo
