Food review: Sweeney's Pizzeria gets five-star rating

Sweeney's Pizzeria can be seen at a number of different locations across Suffolk serving woodfired pizza.

I visited the pizzeria at Stowmarket market on a Thursday lunchtime, and was instantly impressed by how busy it was.

Despite this however, owner and chef Craig Sweeney was working through the orders quickly and efficiently on his own, while not skimping on the quality or appearance.

All the pizzas were made from scratch, with dough created by Mr Sweeney, and turned into a delicious pizza in around three minutes.

All pizzas were the same size, with prices being either £6 or £7 for a 9 inch pizza.

These prices were more than value for money, which is the view shared by many workers and passers-by in the town who wanted a bite to eat for lunch.

I was able to sample two pizzas, one being the traditional Margherita, and the other being a Sweet Shroom pizza, topped with caramelised onions and mushrooms.

The Sweet Shroom Pizza had a Bechamel Sauce base rather than tomato, which added sweetness to the pizza that was something I had never eaten before, but it was a welcome change.

The caramelised onions were lovely, and the cheese was brilliantly melted on top that is passed the 'cheese pull test'.

The Margherita was really lovely. The cheese again passing the pull test, with a good amount of tomato on the base, and basil on the top.

The crust on both these pizzas was brilliant. Just how I like it in that it was crispy and chewy.

Pizza is a very subjective thing, people like different toppings, different crusts, different thickness of bases, but at Sweeney's Pizzeria, there is something for everyone.

For that reason, along with the taste, cost and service, Sweeney's Pizzeria gets five-stars.
