Pizza Raphael

I have always been fully supportive of this business raved about the food quality & prices along with delivery prices to everyone Now that there are new owners Food quality is poor Food cold Prices are higher Delivery price is now $5 for a 1 km drive ( from $2.00) ( Bring back the last owners ) Delivery person he is rude needs to loose his attitude he is a bad investment for this business To the owners I suggest you lift your game … “Quality “should be in your food and your staff Stop blaming Covid for everything !!! To everyone else Shop around !!!!

Probably the best pizza’s and pastas in the Essendon and surrounding district. Freshly made - you can see them made right in front of you with care and skill. It’s a small family business and very popular with the locals so can get rather busy, but runs like clockwork - even when busy the system runs smooth. Delivery available to surrounding Niddrie, Essendon, Aberfeldie, Essendon North + West Essendon at $2 per delivery - or three dollars for anything other like Avondale Heights, and Moonee Ponds. Ingredients are always fresh and tasty with plenty of generous portions.

We used to really enjoy the pizza from Pizza Raphael, the bases were great; never overly thin, over cooked, or soggy but airy and perfect - fine for reheating leftovers the next day. The ingredients were always fresh: juicy fresh prawns on the Raphael Special. Customer service was excellent, if they burnt the pizza slightly or the base was smaller than it should be they would always offer something extra to make up for this shortfall. The quality has changed in the last few months. Garlic bread often burnt. The pizza has a lack of ingredients; our regular Raphael special now has barely any prawns or olives, and the prawns are of a much lower quality. The taste is not as good as it used to be either - lower quality ingredients most likely. From looking at other reviews it appears that the business is under new management who are clearly not prioritising a high quality product anymore. Being a regular customer of Pizza Raphael for many years we are very disappointed about the drop in quality, and will be searching for a pizza shop that serves a better quality product.
