Was sad to find out that pizza is no longer available at dinner, only lunchtime. We used to enjoy a quick pre theatre pizza. Food e had was good, but a little on the low-side temperature wise. Service was excellent

Went to Teatro at 6pm for a quick pizza before a show. Very disappointed to be told that the chef decodes not to make pizzas during busy times.....it was not that busy. Nothing on the website to indicate the sensitivity of the chef to making what is clearly listed menu items. Be warned if you are looking forward to a pizza at this Italian restaurant. Apart from that the apertisers we had were excellent.
