Fire & Stone (Westfield)

Love Fire & Stone! Have no idea what's your problem people?!  

Casablanca, Texas, New York and Canberra are my favourite pizzas! Also I love their pasta Primavera and the CousCous salad. I can't get enough of their £4.95 lunch meal deal. 

Pizza sizes? Small? Don't know how big (read: fat) people u are but after one pizza I'm more than full...As to weird combinations... Potatoes on pizza... Hmmm... Let me think: O yeah! crisp sandwich! 

Fair enough if u don't like the food. But moaning about the concept? Don't go if u don't like it coz if u go there assuming that it's going to be bad, u r going to moan... What's the point?! Go and spend ur money 'wisely' in a boring pizza express...

Muchos gracias for attention. Peace to all adventurous pizza lovers xxxx

Dreadful. Not only is this restaurant hugely over-priced (you can eat MUCH cheaper and MUCH better in Westfield) the food was poorly prepared and the pizzas VERY small. Pizza bases were frozen, despite the claims the restaurant makes about making them on the premises!! The restaurant had no more than 6 tables with customers eating and still the food was very slow. It took 35 mins for our pizzas to arrive. Very disappointed by the entire experience and will not be returning, particularly as there are so many good places to eat here.

Heard about the cocktails at Fire & Stone and a girlfriend and I turn up enthusiastically hoping to have a try for ourselves. Very disappointed, we sat at the bar in clear eyeshot of the bar staff and were ignored for a full 15minutes as we were overlooked and even had one of the rude bar men choose to pay attention to a couple of diners who stood behind us. Very disappointed, would not recommend!

We chose Fire & Stone because the other food emporia were very busy and had long queues. Fire & Stone didn't look that busy and had no queue at all. That should have set alarm bells ringing!

The member of staff who greeted us was friendly and gave us a choice of 2 or 3 tables and the waitress was polite but I feel swooped in for the drinks order a little too fast before I'd managed to get settled and have a proper look at the menu.

We ordered the garlic oil and mozzarella pizza base sort of garlic bread option as a starter to share and it was very greasy and not garlicky at all.

As a main my friend ordered the traditional sounding Casablanca. We were both incredibly surprised to find that the Casablanca didn't have a tomato sauce base, it was just a slightly cold cheesy white sauce on a doughy greasy base topped with blue cheese, mushrooms, more cheese and a tiny smattering of crushed walnuts. The mushrooms were alleged to be sautéed in garlic butter but again there was no garlic to speak of. The pizza didn't look good as it was pale and blotchy looking, a bit like the face of the moon, and it didn't taste particularly good either as the overall taste was one of pure greasy fat where it should have been a great combination of the saltiness of the Roquefort, the garlic of the mushrooms and the sweetness of the walnuts.

I ordered the Lombok pizza as in theory and on paper it sounded really interesting. Alas, in reality, it wasn't very nice at all. It arrived at the table with a pool of liquid on its surface indicating to me that the oven wasn't hot enough and the peppers and spring onion had sweated. This meant that the already soft and doughy base was sopping wet. This sort of "fusion" just doesn't work. Looking at the menu again now I realise that it's all over the place. It doesn't know what it's trying to say. Is it a case of "Hey, we're crazy, we don't play by the rules, we can put wonton prawns, mezze and pizza on the same menu, who's to stop us?" because if it is, someone, please please put an end to it.

NB: Despite the dishes and wine being pretty reasonably priced I am putting a zero. The food was quite simply not worth any money at all.

Pleasant enough venue, but menu is ridiculously complicated with far too many exotic type pizzas, side salad is tiny (as mentioned below - one anchovy) and the pizza is very sub-pizza express, even with a two for a tenner deal I'd avoid.

Cramped seating, poor decor, poor service, but worst of all, a menu that simply does not work - how can you serve roast potatoes on a pizza?? curry on a pizza?

For a restaurant only serving pizza's, you'd expect a top quality base and ingredients but the base was so small and looked like something they'd oven cooked from goodfellas.

It's inexpensive but you know why and with it being at the far end of Westfield - I'd expect this place to close once everyone has tried it - as that is all it is, a novelty idea that you have to try, but you would never return.

I'm afraid this place didnt leave me a great impression.

Our waitress was friendly but nonetheless quite amateurish and the general attitude towards the customers is a bit too unformal to my taste ( a'ight, guys ??).

Anyway, we didnt really get the starters we ordered but let's not be fussy, it doesnt really matters. They offered to bring the correct dish but it was a bit late..

And by the way, there is a spelling mistake on your menu - it says " Caesar Salad with anchovies " as it should indeed say " Caesar Salad with its anchovy " for only one was in there.

It's also very annoying that you have to wave at the waitress everytime you want your glass to be filled in with water...

We finally got our pizzas but there again it was another disappointment. The crust was extremely dry and practically uneatable. As well as the meat on the pizza - tasteless and overcooked.

If i took the time to write this review, it's just because this canteen is just not doing the job for the shocking prices it displays.
