El Dorado Pizza Bar, Hawthorn

El Dorado Pizza Bar
206 Belair Road, Hawthorn SA

Pizza Ordered: El Dorado (12")
Date: 22/08/10
Time of Day: Afternoon
Price: $11.5


Upon first walking upto the counter in this pizza bar, we were met by a staff member who was folding boxes, presumably for the nights pizzas. Although we made eye contact, and I am pretty sure I said hi, we were ignored and left standing there unserved. There were 3 visible staff members in the immediate counter area, but it wasnt until a young lady popped her head out from out the back that we actually acknowledged and then served.
 
When we finally got this pizza, it wasn't what we were hoping for. All the toppings were dry, singed and burnt around the edges. There were clumps of topping that looked as though they had been thrown hurridly on the pizza. One piece that I picked up was pretty much half green capsicum, which in large amounts is really bitter. Even thought the top was all dry, the actual base dough was not cooked through, and was raw through the middle. Perhaps what looked like a conveyor belt oven they had was turned up too high, in an attempt to get the pizza's cooked quickly.
