This restaurant is literally about two doors away from Woody's Vegetarian Cafe, and, like Woody's, also offers a gluten free pizza.
Having had a lovely gluten free pizza from Woody's, I was interested to give this place a go to see how they compared, especially being so close. So, I again got a takeaway pizza for my lunch one day (not in the same week, promise!).
Now, I really appreciate any restaurant that tries to provide for us gluten-freers. There was a time when, if you were gluten free, you were pretty much screwed as nowhere would really cater anything other than your salads and jacket potatoes. Things are different now, but I really do appreciate these restaurants that will go out of their way to provide for us. As such, I hate giving a negative review and always do try to see the positives. However, unfortunately, whilst I do appreciate their effort, I was quite disappointed with the pizza I received.
The base was really quite soggy and floury, and the toppings really were not that tasty. It wasn't cheap either, which I don't usually mind, but seeing as I only actually ate 2 slices, it was a bit of a waste. The restaurant itself is lovely, again, right on the marina, but I did find it quite hard trying to explain what I wanted to the staff... even though they advertise gluten free on their menu!
Therefore, if you are in the area, and don't mind sacrificing meat on your pizza, I would definitely recommend Woody's instead. If you do fancy giving them a go, their website is here: http://www.calzoneapsley.com/
Nicely located restaurant, and appreciate the effort, but a long way to go: 4/10
