What a nasty, second-rate, cheap-shooting, trying-too-hard little review this is. YOU visit a pizza chain. YOU order an average wine, then complain that it’s average wine. YOU order a mushroom risotto — a dish most bland, even if you ordered it at the Fat Duck — and then [surprise] find it bland. YOU order a four cheese pizza and then complain it doesn’t work in the most cheesiest, stinky sock, way possible. The Four Horsemen are, by their very nature, wonderful companions. And the Eastern European staff criticism is just low.

Your review bears no relation to what Prezzo Thame currently represents. Next time you are “stuck in Oxfordshire” [oh god, heaven forbid being stuck in somewhere so out of the way] why not give it a second chance?

On second thoughts, don’t bother — I might be enjoying myself in there and frankly couldn’t stand you making my evening a misery with your ‘pizza chains are so shit’ complaining.

PREZZO IS A PIZZA CHAIN. WTF did you expect?!

I’m sure “all the local independent places that had been recommended” to you would be very pleased to receive your custom. Out of interest, what independent places are they? Le Maison? The Thatch? The House of Spice?

I must say, that I totally disagree with your review of Prezzo in Thame. I went there first in May and three times again since and on all occaisions with large-ish family groups (of 8-10 people) found the food well cooked and tasty, the waiting staff very good – especially with young children and the whole experience very satisfying. Maybe you experienced the start-up problems common with a new restaurant and new staff but by the time we started going there, all your gripes had gone. Friends and colleagues have been similarly impressed. Thought I should add my tuppence worth.

I think that Prezzo is fab! I used to work there! Good grub and a nice friendly place! But the waiting staff have gone down hill but, but thats because I have left!

I was ugly and probably even weirder. At that age I took what I could get.

If she was weird and ugly, why was she your girlfriend? Were you desperate or something?

As parents of a 4 year old it is nice to have a regular/weekly place to go to……that said we are held hostage to the lack of anywhere else to go!

If there was a ‘Giraffe’ or a ‘Pizza Express’ or even a ‘Cafe Rouge’ all that would be inside Prezzo would be tumbleweed and the sound of the desert!

The quality is service station level and in some instance this is doing a disservice to service stations………….but that said I wouldn’t mind owning 25% as at the moment it’s chching!

But if my oft said prediciton is correct that within 5 years Thame will be like Marlow unless there is a 360 degress improvement ‘Prezzo’ will be stuffed…!!!

Thame has needed a place like Prezzo for so long! The current independent businesses owners in Thame have little clue about how to successfully run a restaurant so that customers are attracted all year round. Granted service in Prezzo can be a little crooked at times but the staff will learn – at least somebody’s employing the competent. This place is going to be a money maker.

“tea with chocomilk and a shake of cocoa powder on top” …. that’s number 55 from the drinks machine where I was today.
