Pizzeria Pappagone

Short man at the door think he’s the boss so rude walked in to ask for a table was shimmed out so he could let his friend out should have know from there we should have left. Calamari was chewy and cold lasagna was cold in the middle had to send it bk then when it came bk it was over cooked and was like mush. Carbonara was nice not the best I’ve had will differently not be coming bk spoilt my whole birthday.

The epitome of an "it's nice, not amazing" place. I've been here 3 times, most recently April 2024, and always had the same feeling. Pizzas are really big and quite good. Not as good as some of the smaller places nearby, but bigger and more aggressively/generously cheesed. Pastas and mains likewise quite good. The place is huge and generally pretty busy. There are lots of staff but it can still be chaotic. The quality of ingredients and cooking could be a little better, for example the olives on their pizzas are tasteless, pre-pitted black olives. For 20p more in ingredient costs they could be using something much nicer. The pizza dough is also a little on the heavy side. A higher hydration would give an airier pizza. The cooking is generally fine, but not great. Vitello Milanese can be a little undercooked, pizzas a tad soggy in the centre, pastas oily, vegetables not given sufficient care or attention. It's a place I'd contentedly walk into if I was nearby but wouldn't set out to come to otherwise.

Loved this place amazing food atmosphere staff.

Been coming to Papagonies from day one when they opened. Was my regular when I lived in Victoria Rd. All the family love it.. A1.

CONSIGLIATISSIMO!!! Tutto ottimo! Cibi buonissimi tipici italiani, accoglienza super, clima festoso proprio come piace a noi italiani e sevizio super! Il nostro tavolo è stato servito da Anna, bella bravissima veloce e super napoletana di Napoli!!!❤️ Grazie mille a Pappagone abbiamo passato una splendida serata!

Food here is great and the prices are really reasonable. It gets busy so need to book. Quite warm and a bit noisy when I went, but obviously popular for a reason.

Food and service is normally really good but, toilets are from a bus station, also there is lots of areas around that has a clear lack of cleaning like the ice cream area.

We had Anna looking after us last night for my daughter’s 18th birthday family dinner. Everything was wonderful and Anna’s service made the night . Thanks Anna and the team at Pappagones.
