La Piovra Pizza & Pasta

Warmly beautiful warm music on a cold night with the smell of cooking pizza in the warm oven smilling client s everywhere. Young vibrant eager staff. Great staff will definitely come back

We absolutely loved the food. A bite of my first slice of pizza was crisp and succulent , you know, it's pizza when you pull a slice away and see all that string of cheese attached to the other slices Juices pouring down my hand of my meaty toppings, and that red hot, tasty, fresh chilies gave it just that perfect hit of zing. the service was on point.

After joining an event, we were starving and needed some food asap. With the lockdown in place at the time most places closed early on a Saturday evening and it was raining. So we needed something on the way home. La Piovra Bedfordview is a place I've had on my "to eat" list for a long time yet just never got to it. Now was finally our chance. Luckily it was not too busy, and obviously covid protocols adhered to. Our waiter Paul was such a pleasure, with a great sense of humour. We made it clear we were hungry and needed food asap lol... We placed our orders as we were weary of time. Throughout lockdown I kept craving prawn pasta, so I immediately went to the pasta section, but I know most people say their pizzas are amazing. I then saw the Amatriciana Pasta - Tomato, Bacon, Chillies, Garlic and Herbs, the BONUS I could have it with Gnocchi. So I changed it to Gnocchi instead. My sister had the Girasole - Stuffed Pasta with Salmon and Ricotta Cheese served with Butter and Sage (or you could have napoletana sauce) Wow guys, when our food arrived hot and freshly made. It was like heaven on a plate. I've never had such a flavoursome meal in a long time. I could easily have ordered another portion and polished it off. My sister even said her food was amazing. While eating we were watching how many pizzas they were popping out for deliveries or collections it was ridiculously busy in that aspect, so glad that people are still supporting local eateries and this one has been around a long time. I definitely need to go back for some more food and maybe start off with the Gnocchi again as a starter 😋 We just finished our meals off with Cappuccinos and off we went to ensure we were home before the curfew. If you in the area definitely give them a try. Food is AMAZING, the service was great and it's nice and spacious inside. Loved the decor with all the explanations on the walls... #TheFoodMusketeer #TheFoodMusketeerEats #TFMLaPiovra #DelayedPost #ProudlyEastRand #SupportLocal

If I had to choose what my last meal on earth would be, it would be pizza from La Piovra. I have never tasted pizza so incredible. My partner and I are there basically every week.🤣 Really friendly staff too! The only reason I have given it 4 stars is because the lighting in there is WAY too bright. It needs yellow light not white light. It’s very uncomfortable for the eyes and I’ve witnessed a few people complaining to the staff about it during all the times I’ve been there. Please can something be done? We love sitting down and eating but after an hour we just can’t do the bright lighting anymore.🥹

It was our first time eating here,and the food was delicious 😋 something different,service was good and staff friendly

The service was super!!! Quick and smiles all round :) thank you so much!! The food (veggie pizza and steak calzone) was just great. Just great. We stopped by after work, on a Tuesday, so it wasn't too busy. The place is lovely and the prices are reasonable. It only took about 10mins and we left with our takeaways. Will definitely be back. Thank you.
