    Excellent pizza, generous toppings, good service. Well worth visiting, and the location allows a quieter experience because its not located in a busy mall.

    Service was slow. Food was pretty much the same as these new spots opening up in EL. Not great.

    Nice atmosphere

  • 4/5 Donald B. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great thin based pizza, very well balance of ingredients, giving you a great tasting pizza with no overpowering specific. Noise from next door club a bit high (very festive) , out of their control, but you do switch off to it. Nice for those that want to go big after meal though.

    The best pizza (beat the Italian I had in Sandton) I've ever had. Drinks are incredible too. Who is this chef? They know their stuff!

  • 5/5 richard l. 1 year ago on Google
    Got the pig shed sandwich and it was AWESOME! This little place from the road looks like very little but packs a massive punch in flavour and service! A definite recommend! Well done to the Thyme Fusion team!

    You want to know something you didn't know before? You at the right place right here. Food, service, linen, cutlery, crockery. Portuguese hospitality at it's best. East London got much richer now. Enjoy the King Prawns

  • 3/5 Tharina M. 1 year ago on Google
    A very disappointing experience. Pizzas were ok. Not made in wood fired oven. We have never been able to order our preferred wine from the wine menu - never in stock. We were there about 2 months ago and the coffee machine did not work - load shedding was to blame. Last night - still no coffee. We were told the machine has not worked in a long time. Surely plunger coffee is not too difficult to offer? We will not go again. Staff was helpful and efficient.

    Ordered two pastas as take away , lacked flavor and salt , the marinara sauce tasted like canned puree heated up and just thrown over the pasta . If i was blind in both eyes and had no hands i would been able to cook a better tasting pasta. Thank you for your response below, hopefully you leave response up for future and current patrons to see. #Macdonaldsbetter

    The pizza base was perfect and the taste exceptional, thank you, the best we have tasted in East London👍🌟

  • 1/5 Slinky Dale (. 1 year ago on Google
    Shocking service. I phoned earlier to confirm they opened at 14h00. They said yes. Got there just after opening and sat and waited for half an hour before anyone even came to take a drink order. Then I was told that the pizza oven wasn't ready yet so no pizza for me. The two women on duty where lazy and didn't give a toss. I've seen cancer move quicker. Got an Uber and went elsewhere.

    Great pizza. Every Monday wood fired pizzas are 50% off

  • 1/5 T. B. 11 months ago on Google
    Shocking service and terrible management. I’ve been there twice this year so far and each time I’ve waited over an hour and a half to receive my drink / food order.

  • 4/5 Sue K. 3 years ago on Google
    I had a take away because I have young kids and there is no way my wild kids would be passive enough to stay with no play area. The service was great and the food was amazing. I will definitely eat there again... maybe get a sitter for the kids 1st.

    Absolutely amazing food and service. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back

    It was my birthday on the 28th August which was a Friday. I booked a table for 6. We ordered a round of 3 shooters and cocktails. We had planned to order dinner and have more drinks but due to the terribly slow service we decided to go to Cantina. It took us over 30 minutes to get 4 cocktails (3 of which were the same). My partner had to wait an additional 15 minutes to get his which was the ginger gin cocktail. I was very annoyed our waitress kept saying it's coming. She had to pour drinks as well. The service is very slow and very bad for business considering it was not that busy. They should have planned better especially since we are allowed to dine inside a restaurant and it was month end and people have been paid and we have limited time to dine out due to the curfew. Really poor management

    Cocktails tasted like the dash/mixture was flat. Money wasted!

    Great food and a fantastic waitress

  • 1/5 Andre S. 4 years ago on Google
    Having pizzas at half price is good. But to get customers to return you need good service and this is where they drop the ball. Being part of a group of 9 I did not receive a knife and fork with my pizza. I could not take this up with the waiter because after delivering the food he was not seen again until he brought the bill. He also never checked to see if we were enjoying our food. The lighting was quite dark, you could not read the menu properly. Really not impressed with this establishment.
