The Friday before last I decided to get some pizza from Donini's. I checked their website and they had an offer of buy two pizzas, get one free. As I was planning on getting two pizzas anyway, I was effectively getting a free pizza. The only drawback to this offer was that it only applied to traditional menu pizzas. The traditional menu pizzas would not necessarily be my first choice, but I thought this offer was too good to pass up. I ordered one bacon and egg pizza. I have commented on this pizza before in this blog, and on this occasion, it was much the same. In addition to this, I ordered one capricciosa, and one BBQ chicken. The capricciosa was fairly standard: ham, olives, and mushrooms. The ham was cut into thin strips, which I liked as it made the ham slightly crispy. The mushrooms looked overdone, but upon tasting them, they were not. The olives were good, but for some reason I was expecting a higher standard from Donini's. While this pizza was certainly satisfying, I felt a little more flavour, perhaps in the way of some pepperoni and/or anchovies would be a good addition to the pizza. The BBQ chicken was not as good. It was even more lacking in flavour. It was basically just chicken, sauce, and parsley. According to the menu, there should be red onions on this pizza. Naturally, I ordered the pizza without this topping. There was nothing wrong with any of the present toppings however. It was just the case that these toppings alone were slightly lacking. I feel that a more aromatic herb than parsley would have been appropriate. Despite this lack in flavour, do not conclude that it was a bad pizza, just not as good as it could have been. So while this was not the best experience I have had from Donini's, it was very good value. Certainly better than inferior pizza chains.
