The best restaurants serving Pizza pasta food in Mancroft Norwich East of England

Came in on my own on a Friday night and it was quite busy, but I managed to get a table. It was a little loud due to the crowds and I felt the lighting was slightly too bright but nothing that would've diminished the quality of my meal. The staff were lovely and friendly even though I was clearly underdressed in baggy jeans and a work shirt, they didn't make me feel out of place at all. The prices didn't reflect the fancier vibe, the pizzas were actually super affordable. A small Amalfi (10/10 recommend!!) was the perfect portion for me (a small but very hungry girl). And £9.50 is really not bad for a triple cheese pizza. I even got free chilli flakes with it. This place would be lovely for a date night, family or office party as that seemed to be most of the clientele at the time.

Came here for lunch and were surprised by the quality and value of the soup and service. Comfy setting and plenty of light from large windows. Very refreshing.

We visited Pizza Express on a Thursday night and the staff were so welcoming. Food was hot and fresh, and couldn’t ask for more. Manager Ben looked after us from the moment we stepped in the door. The smile never left his face.

The restaurant was almost empty, no more than eight tables full. There were several staff,maybe six, and a manager. Service however was exceptionally slow and several staff walked past our empty plates and ignored them. We got to the dessert menus and perused them and ten minutes later when the waiter came to collect our order we said we will have two of the roulades and she said ‘no you won’t’ then paused and said we don’t have any and we also do t have any x, y or z either. We then decided just to leave without dessert. If there are things you don’t have then you should say when you give out the menu to manage expectations. Poor service but the pizzas were good.

On the hygiene front the manager has a habit of scratching his face and running his hand through his hair and yes he was handling plates. We entered the restaurant and used the app so payed up front. All the plates were stone cold and coupled with other problems we decided to leave. Asked for a refund which was agreed but would take a few days. Quick to take money, don't care for customer service after. There is no way to phone anyone, blame it on social distancing and COVID. But customer care are working from home. No, they take your money and run.

Very mediocre food. The meat portions were small and the chilli sauce has an odd flavour and texture. I got a special lamb shish kebab and paid for the large, the meat portion was extremely disappointing and they just added way too much cooked onions (like a whole God damn onion) to make the kebab look bigger than it was. I feel ripped off.
