I was staying at the Drayton Court Hotel and was having dinner in their restaurant.
After a disappointing ravioli I was hoping that the pizza I had ordered would be better.
I have had the Fiorentina Pizza from Drayton Court before.
This was an excellent generous pizza. A great base, cooked well, and delicious toppings. The dough was crisp with a soft centre, the toppings were full of flavour and there was just the right amount of tomato and cheese. The egg was a little overcooked for my preference, but this didn’t detract from the whole pizza eating experience.
I usually avoid pizza in hotels as they usually use pre-cooked bases, or even prepared pizza. The Drayton Court Hotel however has a proper pizza oven and use proper fresh pizza bases. So, I was quietly looking forward to see what I would get.
The pizza toppings were spinach, mushrooms, olives, and an egg. It looked really nice.
I did not enjoy the pizza as much as I thought I would. I think they may have used vegan cheese on my pizza, as there was a slightly odd taste to the pizza and the cheese did not feel or taste like cheese.
Overall I wasn’t that impressed with the food that night, which is unusual, as I have had some great food from Drayton Court in the past.
