Pancho’s Pizza

There were eight of us in a group, for a casual family dinner, & though the service was decent (not great, but decent), it look an awfully long time for the food to come out. About 1 hour, & we were ready to leave, if not for the assurances of the staff, that ours was coming out in 5 — 10 minutes.
From the beginning it’s probably best for staff to advise that there is a «X number of minutes» wait, instead of saying «there’s a bit of wait on the food, but hopefully it shouldn’t take too long». It’s about managing expectations better.
I personally only ordered a large pizza ($ 22), so when it finally came out, I was looking forward to trying it. Half & Half, of Pepperoni & Chicken.
In all honesty, whilst the ingredients were fine, the rest of it (like the sauce) was just bland & lacked flavour. Not really much seasoning if any, & not worth a one hour wait.
Very disappointed with the whole experience. The staff did their best, I get that, so they’re the one saving grace, but it wasn’t «crazy» busy.
I ate the rest of the pizza of course, because by then I was starving!!!
Not looking to come back in a hurry.
So I would say, based on this experience, we would recommend other restaurants in the area to try before Panchos. It seems the experience we had last night was not unique to us, based on other reviews (on other sites).
My brother who’s been to Panchos in the last 6 months, said it was good, «but looks like it’s gone sh*thouse!».

Pancho’s Pizza has been around for a long, long time. I mean I used to be in primary school up the road and walk past this place to get home. Over it’s many years this place has become very special to lots of Bulimba locals. It’s laid back, BYO and has tables for 10+ groups. With meals from around $ 15 – 25 it’s also relatively cheap for the amount of pizza you end up being served. Be prepared to unbuckle your belt down a few notches.
Try and enjoy it for what it is. The plastic chairs and tables viewed with tongue in cheek are perfectly acceptable. If you’re new in town and looking for simple and easy option for dinner this is definitely a place to consider.

I had heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place so in order to finally go and form an opinion for my self i decided to go and check it out. As i might have mentioned before i do like the location and Oxford street is great in my opinion so i thought it has to be good.
I have to say that as pizza goes its pretty average, i don’t want to say it was bad because it was by no means plain bad. They did stack it with toppings which was good so they were quite filling. Otherwise it was as good as any other pizza i have had which im not sure in entirely a good thing because like a lot of people i tend to only remember things that really stood out.
The service side of things was fine and i did not even mind the plastic tables but sadly its not somewhere that i would drive to or go out of my way to get to.
