Poci's of Hampton

This is an icon of Hampton Street, it has been around for at least 30 years... I usually enjoy their takeout pizzas to the side of the restaurant, the pizzas have not changed in the many years I have been going there.

As a denizen of Boronia - a suburb with almost as many pizza joints as hairdressers (and almost as many hairdressers as churches), I like to imagine I know a thing or two about how to evaluate the benefits of bestowing my business upon any given pizza-serving establishment. And in recent years I have observed what I feared was a terminal decline in the calibre of both eat-in and take-away pizza across the board.

I cannot comment of their service at the restaurant as I always ask delivery. In regards to their pizzas, I think they are great, very tasty with a good range of combinations. Price-wise, they are not the cheapest in town...

Not the best pizza restaurant around but not the worst either. We walked in about a week ago to a half-empty restaurant asking for a table and were greeted with a "yes, but you need to be out by 8". A fair ask, if indeed they had been fully booked up, but come 8pm and the restaurant was emptier than it was when we walked in and it still felt like we were being pushed out the door!



The food was bordering on average but for the price you can definitely get better (just look down the road a bit). They also managed to mix up our drink orders and it seemed the staff were more interested in talking to eachother than providing quality service. We always got the feeling they didn't quite know what was going on!

Last time I was there with my friends their prices were unbelievely expensive so we decided to walk again and go somewhere else.
