Maranello Pizza Bar - John st. Salisbury. Basically on the corner across from the Pub and Interchange.
Big thanks to SPOS for the use of their best players vouchers. We had 2 x $30 vouchers so the entire meal was free.
Ordered 15 wings, garlic bread, cheese bread and 4 large pizzas. Vegetarian, BBQ Meatlovers, Supreme and American or Pepperoni. Did the job on 6 of us. We did have to pick it up though.
I find when you take a bite of a Pizza you tend to know straight away if it's good, bad or indifferent. I was amazed that first bite, these were crackers. When we opened the box they looked good, when we tasted them they were excellent. The sauce was good and the toppings were generous and looked and tasted fresh.
When I placed the order it was painful as I got a girl who told me three times she was new and really really nervous and it was a large order and to be fair we were not paying. There was a lot of so sorry I need to ask the manager but she was polite and sweet and it really didn't bother me at all but it did take a long time to order, like 6-7 minutes. Then she called me back to confirm.
Upon arrival the restaurant had 15-20 people in it and I recognised it as previously being Cafe Aqua from 2007 when I used to catch buses for a year after a bad decision one night. Not sure how long it's been Maranello for. They also forgot to give us our cheeses bread which both of us noticed but chose not to mention. They did call us 5 minutes later apologising and offered to comp us next time. Again very polite and when we picked the food up they were really nice even though we were not paying.
My local is the Walkleys Heights a pizza bar which is good but this was better. I would pay for these pizzas and wings would recommend it to those in the area. 8.5/10
