Zizzi

For my second blog post I shall talk about my experience at Zizzi’s. With 2 locations in Glasgow City Centre – one in Prince’s Square and the other in Royal Exchange Square, it is one of my favourite Italian restaurants to go to when getting food in Glasgow. Again I first chose to try Zizzi’s as I had heard from a friend that it was very good. Since the first time I tried it, it has always been my go to choice over any other Italian in the town centre.

When I went for the first time we had to wait for half an hour as the restaurant was completely full. This suggested to me that the food must be good if they are so busy. When it came to getting our table the waitress was extremely friendly. So… so far so good. When I first took a look at the menu I was unsure on what to have as many of the things on it I had never heard of. To start though I went for ‘little soul’ breads which are small, slightly salty rolls. These are served warm and with garlic butter. Other restaurants such as pizza express serve similar starters to thing with their dough balls, which come with garlic butter. In comparison I would chose Zizzi’s as they had more flavour. For my main I had the Italian Hot pizza with a Rustica base. The Rustica base is slightly bigger than your classic base which makes it crispier. Like the name suggests the pizza was very hot, which meant I had to pick the chillies off it. Since then I have asked for no chillies on my pizza but even with them it is still very nice.

In comparison to other Italian restaurants the price for what you get in Zizzi’s is quite expensive depending on what you get. I would say it is worth it now and then but to spend as much as I do in there regularly is a bit steep and because of this it can mean I will chose somewhere else to go which is more affordable.

However, overall the experience in Zizzi’s is a positive one and I would recommend going there.  If however you have limited funds there are alternatives to Zizzi’s which while might not be as good in quality of food they are still very nice.

Thank you for reading, will be back with another post soon
