Haven’t been to a Zizzi for 15-20 years. Don’t think I will again. We had a new summer pizza which was so thin it almost fell apart when you picked it up and pretty stingy on the toppings - for £18.95 you’d expect so much more. £6 for a large Coke Zero seems outrageous even in this day and age. A £6 side salad was literally a handful of leaves with a bit of cheese sprinkled on top. Not great value for money and pretty average food. At least the service was good. Absolutely dead on a Wednesday evening.

Fantastic food and even better service! We were treated to complimentary starters and four hot chocolates at the end of our meal, which was such a nice surprise. We also ordered two desserts, and the staff proactively brought us extra spoons so our table could share everything without us needing to ask. Such a thoughtful touch! A 5-star experience for sure."

Our experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing and upsetting. The server, ALA, treated us with a level of disrespect that we have never experienced at a restaurant before.
Throughout our visit, we felt ignored and unwelcome. When we simply asked for something to mix sugar into the coffee we had ordered, she laughed at us with some of the younger servers. We found this humiliating and completely unnecessary.
The way we were treated also made us feel that we were being treated differently because of who we are. We cannot know what was in her mind, but her behavior left us feeling discriminated against and unwelcome. If this was related to our race, nationality, or appearance, it is completely unacceptable.
After finishing our meal, we waited for the check, but eventually had to get up and ask for it ourselves because no one came to our table. When we asked for the check, ALA responded with an extremely rude and dismissive attitude.
We came to the UK to enjoy our vacation and have positive experiences, but this encounter left us deeply upset. We have never been treated this badly in a restaurant in our entire lives. One person’s behavior should not have the power to ruin an experience, but unfortunately, this one did.
I sincerely hope the management takes this complaint seriously, speaks with the staff involved, and ensures that every customer is treated with basic courtesy, dignity, and respect regardless of their background..

We had a terrible experience in this Zizzi’s Canterbury this evening. We turned up at 6:15pm looking to sit down without a booking. The restaurant was half empty but we were told to come back in half an hour (“or don’t” as the staff member aggressively said) as we didn’t have a booking. So we booked a table for 6:30pm and came back looking to get seated. Another staff member welcomed us but the male staff member took over and decided to be rude to us telling us that he told us to come back in half an hour and not in 15 mins, even though we now had a booking. Plus the 15 mins wouldn’t have make that much of a difference as there was tables for us to be seated at. He then told us that we can sit but we are going to be waiting “ages” for our drinks and food. Again, the restaurant was half empty and we don't appreciate being spoken too like kids. If half the restaurant is at full capacity then why are bookings available online? We sat down, instantly felt annoyed at the aggressive and disappointing service and got up and left. A very power hungry staff member that needs to learn some customer service skills.
