Booth's Cafe Bar & Pizzeria

Completely awful. Food took forever to arrive. Salad had no dressing. Ham on pizza more like spam. Very dissapointing and service appaling.

Don't go, service awful. Took ages to come to take our order, when food came it was very slap dash, no question of "is your meal ok?" after, practically had to get up to ask for pepper as they delivered the food to table and walked away so quickly didn't get a chance - and when we did ask for pepper - was told that they had run out and given a "cup" literally with fast food pepper sachets in it. Terrible! Restaurant is huge and was empty - be surprised if they last much longer. Shame as venue is lovely.

Booth's has an extensive menu, filled with the expected pizzeria fare. The pizzas eaten by our group were reasonable, although nothing exceptional. Starters were mediocre at best - both the antipasto and the tricolore salad were accompanied by some pretty uninspiring lettuce.

Booth's is a cheap local option, although not the destination for a special evening. Service is slow and informal to the point of sloppiness. I was disappointed that, although Booth's participates in a card discount scheme, they won't honour the agreement on Sundays, despite the scheme's website and literature stating otherwise. However, the low prices stopped me being too annoyed by this factor!

On balance, Booth's is a reasonable choice for those seeking an inexpensive, casual meal, but there are too many other good places in the area for me to bother returning.

Booth's used to do amazingly nice pizzas, but the last couple of times I've ordered from there, they've been undercooked, late and/or cold. It's really disappointing considering they used to be one of the best in an area. The bar below is occasionally good, depending on what kind of crowd you get there. Other pubs in Stokie are much better choices for a beer. Keeping my fingers crossed that this one comes back to its former glory.

I had pizza delivered to and was rpobably the worsts ervice i have received. THe pizza took 1hr15 to arrive a very short distance, and when it did it was the wrond pizza.

I then re-ordered and another 45 mins later it turned up and was pretty bad. The pizza was really salty and almost unedible. I almost wished I had stuck to the original delivery.

Shame as the deal is really good, but will not order again

Not sure about 'one of the worst pints in London' - you must have caught it on a rare off day. I've always thoroughly enjoyed the ice-cold pints of draught Peroni! Otherwise, everything else said on this page is spot on, the pizzas are excellent, great value, the staff are the friendliest in Stokey and the downstairs bar is 'where it's at' - although I'm told that I'm too old for it now.
