"I have anticipated on trying this restaurant for the first time and unfortunately based on this experience, I won't ever be coming back. I'm not a fan on writing bad reviews but it's hard to look pass when restaurant owners/staff don't manage quality control and just serve up sub-par quality food. There is a pricing difference as It states $15 for the Margherita pizza and $23 for the Tempo pizza on the menu, where as it costed $18 for Margherita and $24 for the Tempo pizza on the order online section. There was little to no visible leoparding on both pizza crusts, and the darker even browning colour indicated that the wood fired oven wasn't up to temperature and the pizzas had been in the oven for more than 90 seconds. Both pizza crusts were thick and little to no big air bubbles which leads me to think that the pizza was stretched intentionally to leave a thicker crust to give the visual appearance of an authentic Neapolitan. Half of the Tempo pizza was inedible as the underside was completely burnt, which meant that there was a hotpot in the woodfired oven and the staff had not turned it accordingly to prevent it from burning. The onions on the pizza was just cooked enough to turn translucent and was still crunchy to the bite with the raw onion taste and it overpowering the whole pizza as they were generous with the onions. A far cry from the menu stating it being 'caramelised onions.' The Margherita pizza did looked visually appealing but it did not negate that the San Marzano tomatoes they used were more on the acidic side which are supposed to be on the sweeter side. Having read that the owners have done their training and being certified with the (AVPN) and claiming they use fresh and honest ingredients on the about us page, that is all left to be questioned when the execution of the product and quality control are not upkept and maintained."

"Please be a little more considerate towards delivery drivers. We’re trying to get orders to customers in a timely fashion so they order from your restaurant again. Customers have told us they don’t order from restaurants who take too long to prepare food. You also limit our earning capacity by keeping us waiting in your restaurant. We’re paid per delivery, not for the amount of time it takes to deliver the order. We don’t earn anything when kept waiting."

"Boiled, flavourless and sickly textured potato. By the way, a few flakes of raw onion before it goes in the oven isn't "caramelised onions". Came cold, despite being a 4 minute drive away. Did you take it for a nice walk through the park? I hope it had a good time cos I sure didn't."

"If you're looking for a pizza place that offers delicious food and excellent customer service, then you might want to check out tempo pizza bar. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the friendly and welcoming service of the staff. They were attentive, helpful, and made sure I felt right at home. The margarita pizza was definitely the standout for me. The crust was crispy and chewy, and the sauce had a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. The cheese was melted to perfection and the basil on top added a nice, fresh touch. It was clear that the kitchen takes great care in using fresh, high-quality ingredients in their dishes. What's even better is that this pizza bar is open late at night, making it the perfect spot for a late-night snack. The atmosphere is lively and fun, with plenty of seating options to choose from. It's a great place to grab a slice with friends after a night out. But what really set this pizza bar apart was the excellent customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had a great experience. Whether it was making recommendations for toppings or checking in to see if we needed anything else, they really made us feel taken care of."
