Drysdale Village Pizza

Placed an order for delivery to Clifton springs. I only just recently moved from Melbourne. Telephone staff lovely, easy ordering, order arrived at my door on the hour and they even managed to navigate my gates without issue ( Uber eats drivers could never ) Pizza is soft and fluffy and a very traditional Aussie style pizza. I was pleasantly surprised given the shocking reviews some people have left. I don’t believe google reviews, everyone has their own tastes and opinions and if you’re into the 90’s style heavily topped pizza, this is for you!

I have gone to the effort to write this extensive review because DVP has been a disgraceful experience repetitively over a number of years and i have had enough of paying good money for disgusting food.. So it's time for some honest feedback DVP and maybe time to pick your game up. To explain.. we got pizza from here a few years ago and it was so bad we took two bites and where absolutely disgusted.. we actually went to the effort of taking it back to show them how bad it was and got our money back. So we decided recently maybe they have changed and to give them another shot.. yeah bad choice 😅 The last three times we have ordered pizza over the past few months we always ask for it extra cooked because it always comes undercooked and soggy.. but even then they dont cook it how you have requested and is always just really horrible. We even started turning our oven on at home before we go pick it up because we know our request will be ignored and we have to go home and cook our pizzas for a further 10-15 minutes everytime so were not eating half raw toppings and claggy dough. Anyway last night the pizzas where their usual poor quality however the garlic bread was the tipping point that really annoyed me and what has inspired even bothering with this review because these guys at DVP must be having a laugh.. $6.50 for a garlic bread and wow it was the most undercooked soggy piece of oily playdough I've ever seen! It was just a poor quality 50c homebrand baguette filled with about a teaspoon of bland oily butter and thrown in the oven for 5 minutes less than it should be.. I think it's possibly even microwaved first as the consistency was literally playdough, there isn't even any parsley or anything in the butter 🤷‍♀️🤣 unbelievably hopeless and pretty disgraceful to be charging that price for such poor quality rubbish. (The only reason it looks even remotely crispy in the photo was the extra 10 minutes we had to cook it for and it was still disgusting) If you have any good taste in food or absolutely any respect for Italian food don't bother with this place it will only disappoint as it is just poor quality undercooked western style sloppy food. The only thing I can thank you for DVP is reminding us why we will never spend our money here ever again 👍
