Italian Pizza As It Should Be

Advantages: Herbs, thin base, nice cheese
Disadvantages: Dearer than average,not the healthiest of snacks

...The Packaging This pizza comes in the usual plastic cover you find on all pizzas. The base of it is supported by a plastic plate which is perfect as an actual plate saving having to clean up later. Over the cover is a cardboard strip down the center of the pizza telling you what it is what it contains and the following nutritional information (per ½ pizza serving); Energy - 355 kcal Protein - 17.1 g Carbohydrates - 42.0 g Fat - 12.9 g Saturates - 6.2 g The pizza is of medium size and due to the lack of a box it can be stored quite easily which is helpful when you share a fridge with 5 other guys. The Pizza Well as you can tell from the name the pizza is an Italian style. The base is thin and when cooked takes on a nice crispy texture. The amount of tomato sauce on it is just perfect, just enough to have an impact but not...

Pizza Hut

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...of toppings and sauces available and you can also chose if you want deep pan, italian, cheese filled crust (which I thought the cheese was very stringy and generally not nice in this type) and cheesey bites crust pizza bases, so there is something for all pizza lovers and you can taylor your pizza to suit you. If you buy a soft drink for £1.99 in Pizza Hut your refills on that drink will be free which is great for people who dont think that one drink is enough when they go for a meal. There is also a selection of non refillable wines, alcopops, beer and tea and coffees available on the menu. The desserts in Pizza Hut are amazing, the chocolate fudge cake tastes great and the cookie dough for sharing is also a dessert that I highly reccomend, the desserts work out at about £4 per person to eat. The current promotion on in Pizza Hut is...

Review of Pizza Hut

A civilised Italian lunch

Advantages: Excellent surroundings; very good food and service
Disadvantages: No folded pizzas

...sections you would expect to find in an Italian chain restaurant, with starters, pasta, oven pasta dishes, pizza, risotto, specialities and salads. Perhaps the only difference is that Prezzo also has a section for roast chicken dishes, although I understand that in their newer branches this is replaced by a section for calzone, or folded pizzas. On arrival the waitress had shown us the 'specials' board which featured just one main course: fusilli pasta with asparagus, mushrooms, roasted peppers and green pesto at £7.95. It sounded healthy and I hadn't had pesto for a long time, so I made that my choice. My son opted for traditional lasagne at £8.55, and his partner ordered a pizza with prosciutto ham, mushrooms, marinated olives, fresh rosemary, mozzarella and tomato at £7.95. I was pleased to see that a special knife with a serrated edge was...

Review of Prezzo Italian Restaurants

Tesco Alfresco!

Advantages: A quick, nutritious meal; easy to cook.
Disadvantages: Not exciting or authentic; expensive for what you get.

...a problem for me as I had stopped cooking ages ago and have been totally depending on my mum at home! But, thankfully, there is always canned or frozen food available. I know there is nothing can beat a home made dinner, nice and warm; unfortunately, I'm useless! TESCO'S ITALIAN MARGARITA PIZZA Anyway . . . having internet access helped a lot. I opened the Tesco.com home page looking for something to buy online; I was too tired to go anywhere to shop, and besides, my friends wanted to buy few things as well. Together we prepared a huge shopping list including Tesco's Italian Margarita Pizza . I have to say that I had never tried it before but as I said earlier in this review, I have decided that I'm too fussy about everything (especially food and men!), and I chose THIS pizza because . . . * Firstly I love pizza, as it...

Real Italian Pizza

Advantages: Delicious pizza
Disadvantages: Slightly clinical decor

...of starters and main course pasta and pizza dishes as well as salads. The prices were reasonable (£5.50-£8 for mains). There was a good wine list, though we went for beer (Italian Peroni £3.10 a bottle). Both my boyfirend and I chose pizzas - his with a delicious mix of pepperoni, gorgonzola and mushrooms and mine a Four Seasons (though they kindly held the capers as I'm not a fan). Having visited Naples (the original home of pizza) I'm tough to please - but these pizzas were delicious - a squishy but light base with plenty of toppings (no scrimping here!). My only slight ciriticism was the tomato base which tasted a bit like plain tomato puree and could have done with more seasoning. Throughout our dinner the staff were attentive and the total was under £20 - a very good night out! The chain's website is http...

Review of Ask Pizza

Italian pizza from Tesco's

Advantages: Quite good value, loads of topping
Disadvantages: Dough is quite thick, too thick for an italian pizza

...Well, first of all, I am very picky about the food I eat. So my judgements are rather strict... Anyway, let's commence. PACKAGE This pizza is in a standard thin pizza box, quite thin and compact. The colourful image makes you (at least me) feel hungry and is rather attractive. When you open a box, you find the pizza in a usual plastic cover that I was able to easily remove without scissors. PRICE I paid for Tesco Italiano Classico Margarita Pizza J1.99, but quite often it goes on sale at 2 for 1, which is quite a good value for the money, even considering that the size is for 1 person rather than 2 (at least I finish the whole thing myself for lunch) TASTE Tesco Italiano Classico Margarita Pizza is an italian style pizza with tomato sauce and cheese on top of it. This kind of pizza usually has thin dough which gets...

Review of Tesco Italiano Classico Margarita Pizza

Love Italian

Advantages: Ample vegetarian options, generous portions.
Disadvantages: Some dishes were full of cream and cheese, so in that manner, not great for calorie consciuos

...Recently went to a Prezzo in Harrow to reap the benefits of this new offer where all the main course is in the 2-for-1 offer. Since I was very hungry, I ordered a starter and a main course, both. To my delight, there was a lot of choice for vegetarian people and it is not like Nandoos where there is hardly any choice for vegetarian. The menu offers, wide variety of pizza's, risotto, cal zone and pasta's and salads for the side. The portion served is also quite big and it can be shared between two if, you are not very hungry. The service was also to a standard level. The ambiance was warm and cosy and the traditional italian oven in the corner, gave a feel of a fireplace. Overall, good value for money and a nice place to go for a perfect Italian meal....

Review of The Italian Job (DVD)

The Italian Job

Advantages: Action, mini coopers
Disadvantages: None

...It's not often that a remake of a classic movie is a hit but in my opinion the 2003 version of the Italian Job was a great movie. The original version of the film is classified as a British caper film with lots of darsterdly deeds. It came out in 1969 and starred Michael Caine. Now I can't say that I've seen this version but from all accounts it was a classic. Apparently, according to an article I read, in 2004 the magazine Total Film named The Italian Job the 27th greatest British film of all time. The line "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!", said by Michael Caine in the film, was voted the favourite movie one-liner in a 2003 poll of 1000 movie fans. So, to remake the film was a pretty bold move but in my opinion a good one. The film's director, F Gary Gray called this version a homage to the original but he still...

Review of The Italian Job (DVD)

An Italian that I like to do!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: none!

...and pineapple pizza but I do like pineapple so I can swap and change if I so wish. This shows just how fresh the food is, it is literally cooked as soon as you order. The pastas include a wide range and when you chose which one you like you then can chose which type of pasta you want it with! The vegetarian selection is very good, I used to be vegetarian and found that the only option I ever had was Vegetable Lasagne but not here! There are many options on this menu including gnocchi which although it is Italian, I don't often actually see appearing on an Italian menu! Puddings are not very extensive but to be fair you don't often have room anyway! They have not one kind of tiramissu but two! A normal one and an Amaretto one which is absoloutely gorgeous! Side dishes include the usual Italian options such as garlic breads but also creamed...
