Mezza Pizza - Portlaoise

This restaurant in Portlaoise has the best pizza around. It's simply perfect and delicious. Don't bother trying the pizza next door, it's not worth your time.

I ordered a pizza and a portion of chips that had chicken tikka, onions, mushrooms, and green chillies on it. They also put pineapple on top, but I am allergic to pineapple. When I asked for some sauce on the pizza, they refused and insisted that I pay extra for it. The service was very rude and I do not recommend this restaurant. It was the first time I had ever seen a shop act like this.

The restaurant, once known for its exceptional veteran staff, has experienced a decrease in quality since Domino's opened nearby. The meal I had recently was subpar in comparison to their usual standard. I never thought they would be overshadowed by the competition. The previous staff members used to provide excellent customer service, engaging in friendly conversation and ensuring a great experience. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.

I ordered a kids pizza meal for my daughter and it was honestly terrible. I specifically requested the pizza to be well-cooked, but it was still undercooked and sloppily put together. When I opened the box, the cheese was all stuck to the top. I used to enjoy dining at this restaurant years ago, but now I keep getting disappointed by the lack of care put into preparing the food.

The restaurant has deteriorated significantly. The staff are rude and unprofessional, the food quality has declined, and my order was incorrect. It's a shame, as it was once a good spot. I recommend going elsewhere for better service and higher quality food, such as Mizzoni's or Laois Kebab.
