Fire and Stone pride themselves on giving you pizzas which are flavours you never come across in any other pizzeria. 17 flavours named after 17 different cities. As always, there wasn't exactly an abundance of vegetarian options, but I ended up choosing the Cairo pizza.
Not quite perfect though... I would have liked my goats cheese more evenly distributed than just five lumps of the stuff. I also disliked the parmesan in the crust - it was just too much and where it had caught on the edge, the taste was too over powering.
What I really enjoyed however, was that they provide you with a sturdy knife with which to cut your pizza with. No pizza cramping index finger from repetitive pizza cutting for me, no siree. But why was my pizza on such a small plate? It was slip sliding all over the joint which was really bloody irritating.
The staff were friendly and attentive, but as always I seriously object to service charge included - I would like to choose how I rate my service thank you very much. For the price I paid, which was £8.50 in the end (had to pay an extra £1.25 for a thin base, which also annoyed me - it really wasn't any two pizzas for £12 was it?), I can't complain. Cheap and cheerful, my pizza had good flavours and it was tasty. I walked out very satisfied.
UNTIL THAT EVENING. Be it a coincidence or a fault of the pizza base, but both my friend and I were glued to the toilets that evening. Sorry to be so graphic but we were not well bunnies. We may have had different toppings but it is a little bit suspicious that we both had these pizza bases and we both suffered from a seriously disgruntled tum... Curious.
Would I recommend? Perhaps I had a bit of a dodgy experience, but I'm not sure that I will return again to Fire and Stone in a hurry.
