Makkie's Pizza - Shanklin

As a family of four, we came in when only a few people were already in the restaurant. We ordered drinks which came up smaller than expected and were not as well described on the menu as they could have been (ie. whether in a small, medium or large glass or other sizing). Then once we ordered, the service was very slow with very little communication as to the status of the meals nor attentiveness throughout. After a long waiting period, we had to ask for an update and eventhough the staff and chef were no distance apart they could not provide an estimated time of serving and gave us a poor reply regardless. However, eventually when the food came up, it was delicious aside from the blue cheese salad which caused one of our family to feel very unwell to the point of nearly being sick. I hope that this is an isolated case but we will not be returning after this experience. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £70–80 Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

This is a genuine post. This pizza place is the best on the island, a real gem of a place.The pizza maker is warm, genuine and a really gracious person. My wife and mother-law raved about the pizza- and they are genuine food connoisseurs. Finally good place to eat!

Great to watch the pizzas being made and cooked in the pizza oven. Probably the best pizza I've had in a while, tasted amazing and perfect crust. Wait wasn't too long which was great, had 2 hungry kids to feed and the pizza went down a treat Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Recommended dishes: Pizza's

We initially wanted to order spaghetti to take away, but were told they don’t offer that, despite it being clearly listed on the takeout menu. Instead, we settled on four pizzas. One was supposed to be pepperoni and mushroom, but they forgot the pepperoni. The other two were fine, but the fourth was a vegetarian pizza that had no cheese and included raw vegetables. The staff seemed inexperienced and were struggling to manage multiple orders on a busy Friday night in the summer. They offered a £1 discount for the missing pepperoni, but I opted for a free can of 7up instead. I also had to ask for the two other drinks we had ordered. Overall, the service was unprofessional and lacking in customer care. The pizzas were tasty, but I wouldn't recommend this place at all. Look for another pizza spot instead! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Recommendation for vegetarians: Not recommended.

This is a charming pizza restaurant in Shanklin, and the chef is incredibly friendly and talented at what she does. Food: 4/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 4/5.
