Pizzería Portarossa

The pizza here is too expensive, though tasty. Honestly, for that price it’s way too small because of the huge ring of plain dough that isn’t even covered with cheese. The toppings are only in the center, and there’s not much of them. We also wanted to take the pizza home and asked for a box. It was a big surprise to learn that the box costs another $4. Even if you don’t like the service, you still have to pay a 10% service charge. With this “golden” pizza they didn’t serve any sauce or anything else. Not even napkins — I used my own. So why pay 10% if the service lacked attention and no one warned that the “golden” box costs almost as much as the pizza? When customers have no choice about tipping, the staff simply don’t care. We were also seated next to a very noisy group, despite the place being nearly empty. Even at a bar, people tend to be quieter. Also a fact: you can’t get full from this. After a proper dinner, I ate half of the pizza and didn’t even feel it — the only thing I really felt was the moment of paying for such a questionable experience. So: -1 star for the service and -1 star for the “golden” box 😤
