I had a wonderful birthday last year Alhamdulillah. I woke up early in the morning and responded to sweet messages from my friends. I then got ready, wore this beautiful pink feminine dress from Shein, and also did my makeup and hair. After getting ready, I had a photoshoot outside with my sister taking photos of me and then my sister and I went to the cake shop to buy myself a birthday cake. Whilst carrying the cake with us, we went to Wood and Flames where my two friends were waiting to start the birthday party! The rest of the afternoon was spent with my friends, and after I left the restaurant, I went home, freshened up, opened my gifts and had a lovely time!

Now, we will go on to review Wood and Flames and how they treated me on my birthday!

What is Wood and Flames?

Wood and Flames is a restaurant in Leyton where they are mostly known for their pizzas but they also sell burgers, sides and chicken and much more!

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

Pizzas

I don’t remember the exact pizzas I tried but they are shown above. Altogether, I loved that they looked stunning with the colours and the toppings being shown very clearly in the pizza. The toppings were also nicely distributed. It was executed nicely and I liked how they provided us with a wide selection of toppings, yet I felt that they were not the authentic Italian pizza I was looking for. It still tasted pretty delicious. I mostly enjoyed the pre-made pizza, rather than the one selected with the toppings. 

We also had a side of chips, which were your regular chips.

Overall, I would rate this a ⅗.

The Place:

The place was quite medium in size with nice lighting. I am pretty sure we were the only customers and we occupied the largest table. Also, I liked the decor as the tables were made of wood, as suggested in the name of the restaurant and I felt that I could comfortably chat to my friends and my sister.

The Service:

The service overall was good. The staff members were nice and they let us stay and sit down for the whole time and served the food nicely. When I had given them a phone call previously, they also were nice, and we didn’t need to book the table.

Would I Recommend It?

I would say that overall, based on my previous experiences, I would recommend coming here only once just to try the wide selection of toppings. The service, experience and decor is nice for a little birthday party with family and friends if you wish, but I would probably not come back here again because the pizza wasn’t authentically Italian. Thank you Wood and Flames!

My Rating: 3/5

My Rating System:

⅕ – was below average and would not recommend even trying once

⅖ – the food was average and would not recommend trying

⅗ – the food was delicious but would recommend trying maximum once

⅘ – the food was really good and would recommend trying here

5/5 – the food was outstanding and is one of my favourites!
