Thanks so much to Lauren & the team for helping me host a fabulous birthday party. So easy to deal with & nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious & had lots of comments from guests & the drinks were flowing well from the busy bar. They even designed me a personalised cocktail menu for the evening! Thank so much

I'm sorry I have to say this but I just had a terrible time at your place. I paid £15 for a pizza with literally hardly any toppings on. Like a smidgeon of cheese. I ordered sweet potato bites and had wedges delivered. Then to be told you don't sell sweet potato bites "even though they're on your menu" And the chicken wings which everyone hyped up were well overcooked and were compensated with a ridiculous amount of average sauce. 3/10 would never recommend.

Terrible food and very disappointing. After reading these reviews and looking on the website, we were anticipating very high quality pizza and overall a good experience. We ordered 3 pizzas and seasoned potatoes, and this was incredibly overpriced for the standard of the food that we received. For such a place that prides itself on serving only pizzas and salads, there was a very limited selection of pizzas as well as toppings, with popular toppings like ham and mushrooms not even being offered, which was a letdown. When the food did arrive, all of the pizzas were burnt. The base of all of the pizzas were burnt in several places and we had try to find small pieces which we could eat. The margarita in particular was the worst, with a few slices being left due to being inedible. We also ordered the highly overpriced seasoned potatoes at £5.95, which we were convinced by the waiter were seasoned with 'cumin and paprika', but they weren't even seasoned with salt and pepper. I have had plenty of cheaper and better potatoes and I can assure you that despite the price, these are definitely not the best potatoes in the world. When complaining to the staff about our burnt pizzas, they apologised and offered another pizza, but by that time, it was too late. For the price that we paid, the food was not only of an average standard, but it was also burnt. As a chef, you don't serve burnt food to customers. When we came to pay, the waitress apologised that "the food was not to our taste". Who would enjoy eating carcinogenic burnt food? This was quite insulting, and after complaining again about our burnt pizzas, we were only offered a few pounds off the bill. The final amount was completely unjustified for what we ate, and considering that we received burnt pizzas, incredibly disappointing. Compliments to the chef!

Came here with my friends and the food was absolutely delicious. The service was great and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. When one of my friends was unsure of her cocktail they gave her a different one and took it off the bill! Very thoughtful! We ordered a range of pizzas and every single one was fantastic. Would return again soon! :)

Strange place, if you're going for artisan pizza this does not come close to the best around - Da'Mara, Scaramantica, Gastro Mania (well worth the trip to Caerphilly) and Dough Thrower. Nowhere near. Those restaurants are cooking first class, authentic Italian, wood fired pizzas - try those to know the standard to judge by. The dough at Brass Beetle is decent (for a gas (not wood) fired oven) but the toppings are really lacking. We ordered 3 different pizzas, all were exceedingly sweet and over burdened. They just didn't work. Dough Thrower is expert at making modern toppings work, if looking for that. If you're going for cocktails, these are really excellent but very expensive. We asked if we could get proper Nduja on two pizzas, not vegan and were told "yes" (after checking with the chef) but we were then given vegan Nduja on both. One pizza, we asked for olives but were bizarrely given these as a starter. So service was confused. We also ordered the Canoli which were listed as a special on the menu - what we got did not resemble a Canoli. A Canoli is a large, deep fried hard pastry shell filled with whipped ricotta cream. What we were given were two very small peanut brittle biscuits filled with sickeningly heavy Nutella/Snickers filling. Just awful and so disappointing. This is the equivalent of calling a dog a cat. We won't go back, but with the choice of superb authentic pizzas elsewhere in the area; we don't need to.

Thank you to The Brass Beetle for a hosting a wonderful pizza party for my daughters 9th birthday. Manager Lauren and the Chef made it such a fun, engaging and unique birthday experience. The children got to create their own pizza and watch them go into the very cool giant pizza oven. All of the children had an amazing time, and my daughter said it was her best birthday party yet. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you to all.

Brass Beatle is my favourite restaurant in Cardiff. Having lived in the area I would go there a lot. Sadly, I've moved further and don't get to go as much anymore. Summing up: if you like filling and delicious pizza and brilliant cocktails you should book a table now! I promise you wont regret it. Lauren and the staff are some of the nicest people I've met and they will ensure you are well taken care of :)

When i booked this i had got the wrong end of the stick and thought this was more of a cocktail bar so we had actually eaten before hand whoops. When it was obvious it had more restaurant vibes we got a pizza to share as didnt want too much, but absolutely no regrets the pizza was incredible! We also tried a good range of the cocktails which were all super delicious too, decorated with beautiful flowers. The staff were all really lovely, leaving good amounts of time between checking on us and made us feel very welcome. Shall happily return, this time with empty stomachs!

Been to the brass beetle a number of times since it opened up the road from me. Each time me and my family return we are welcomed with an even better experience! The most recent experience was for my 20th bday. A friend came to visit me from out of town, and of course I had to have them experience the exquisite cocktails the brass beetle has to offer! The cocktails are decently priced and not watered down with ice, AMAZING QUALITY! (And if you’re a light weight like me, will be tipsy after just after one!) they also have a happy hour 2 for 1, which makes this a great spot for those who are students or don’t have money to spare on cocktails. Me and my friend were offered a free shot by the owner to celebrate my birthday, which I thought was amazingly generous and highlights the wonderful customer experience of the place!

I visited Brass Beetle last night with a group of friends and we were so impressed all around! From making the booking everything was just so easy and ran so smoothly. The staff were very friendly without being overbearing, it was perfect service in our opinions. We had pizzas, chicken wings and halloumi fries and everything was just spot on. The flavours were interesting and all cooked beautifully. We all had cocktails from their menu and they were all very inventive - we all enjoyed the drinks we picked. All in all, we can't wait to come back for more!

Worst pizza base I have ever tasted. It was hard and chewy and simply could not eat it. I asked the waitress if it was meant to be like that (She could see by my face that I wasn't impressed) and she said yes, it's because it's gluten free. Wasn't impressed with her response that nothing was done, and also it's a bit of an insult saying your food doesn't taste great because it's gluten free. Especially people who have no choice but to eat gluten free due to a serious medical condition.

A small place not to bring more than two or three people to! We had large gin cocktails on the comfy sofas whilst waiting for over table next door where we had a few light sides before heading off to town. It was a fab start to a night out and the decor was a cut above. Alas there were a few too many of us to enjoy the full benefit of the low key classy atmosphere but we will femember for next time! More of a cosy romantic spot than a loud bar and what a breath of fresh air

Visited with friends who found this place online due to excellent vegan choice and none of us were disappointed. Clean, cosy and welcoming modern venue with lovely staff whose service was excellent throughout. The vegetarian blue cheese pizza was absolutely amazing, as were all pizzas we ordered - large, fresh and excellent quality. 2 for £10 cocktails until 8 was the icing on the cake. Would definitely go back.

I went into this restaurant to try their wood fire pizza only to walk in and be greeted by a barking dog! The dog was literally situated on the couch with a "doggie blanket" underneath it. After being disgusted by the sight the lady sat us down to the dirtiest table in the facility. After looking around and enduring the stench we decided to leave the place. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to taste their food but I will not regret it. Whoever is the owner needs to understand that having a pet around food is extremely unhygienic.

On arrival we were greeted from the bar by friendly staff and offered the drinks list. Being a cocktail lover, i ordered a cocktail whilst my partner ordered a beer. There was a broad selection of tasty cocktails. There were choices of mocktails to offer also. Once chosen, ordered and seated our drinks were brought to us. Staff were also very accomodating. The vibe in the bar was cool, music was playing and though the bar wasnt really busy there was a nice atmosphere. The drinks list was priced just right. Drinks were gorgeous and we highly enjoyed our time at The Brass Beetle. We look forward to going back in the near future.

I had the chorizo and honey pizza and my boyfriend the one with chicken and jalapeños. We had the halloumi fries last time which were yummy but on this occasion we went for the coleslaw which was on the specials board. Not many places serve the Pornstar martini cocktail which is my favourite so I was pleased it was still on the menu. All in all a lovely experience and we'll be back! :o)

Visited with a friend for an evening meal. Was a bit disappointed initially with the small menu, but we both found a pizza we wanted quite quickly as they all sounded good. We were not disappointed, they were both very tasty. The staff were friendly. Quite a small place and it was very noisy as there were about four other tables full of women chatting loudly - but that is not the restaurant fault. We moved into the front bar area for dessert and cocktails which was nice. The cocktails are reasonably priced and very good.

Great pizzas, although sadly they were out of the cockles one which sounded fab. Drinks were lovely, if a bit expensive, and service got a bit overwhelmed, with rather long waits for drinks.

I really wanted to like The Brass Beetle, having been excited to try it out for weeks. We finally went last night (Tues 19th). Perhaps we caught them on an off night, or maybe they were simply short-staffed. Admittedly they were busy, but to be told by the single solitary waitress that there would be about a twenty minute wait and to still be sat there an hour later without food is not good enough. To have no update on the situation, any customer care e.g. checking we were OK for drinks, no offer of cutlery or black pepper when the food finally arrived, is disappointing. To request a cranberry juice only to be told they've run out, when Co-op is thirty seconds walk away, suggests a problem with staffing levels. For this cranberry juice to still appear on the bill, along with six pizzas when there were only five of us, demonstrates a lack of professionalism. To leave a tip in spite of everything, only for said tip to be barely acknowledged, doesn't make one feel that one's custom is valued. I feel that last night's waitress needs some serious retraining if the Brass Beetle wants to tempt repeat custom. A shame.

We had an excellent sunday afternoon pizza, the service was fantastic. The sauces, dips and pizzas themselves all tasted wonderful. The chef took the time to speak to us as we were leaving and told us all about his pizza oven, and was.understandably proud of his trade. We'd definitely go back. Absolutely mega Sunday afternoon scoff.

By far the best restaurant in Cardiff for gluten free grub. Cocktails are decent as well. Staff were super friendly and prices were reasonable.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and the pizza was a good size with ingredients that were clearly fresh. Price was a bit higher than I'd like but acceptable for the level and quality. Love the outside décor by the way!

Had a first chance to try their food last week. Ordered 3 different pizzas and all of them were stunning! Very creative and tasty selection, quick service and food that make you come back for more! Definitely it will be soon!

First of all I just thought I’d say the cocktails are incredible, was totally blown away by the selection along with the quality, now on to the pizza.

This is well worth a visit; our cocktails were excellent, but would have been nice to have lounge seating for 6 before sitting at the table. Staff was top notch and attentive. Pizzas were very good not great, and also let down by cheap cutlery. Thin crust pizzas need sharp knives, as I suggested to the staff, not hopeless cutlery. Pizzas tasted great though and will definitely be back soon as the place is great and deserves to succeed. Look forward to seeing them expand the menus with some healthier salad options, also.

Had my birthday meal here for 20+ people, pizzas are definitely the best in Cardiff and the cocktails were amazing. Unique menu, lush decor and a really great atmosphere. The staff were so lovely and made my birthday night the best one yet! Would highly recommend The Brass Beetle and will most definitely be going back as soon as possible.

I have visited The Brass Beetle twice and on both occasions have been very impressed. Once with a group of friends and secondly with family, this restaurant caters for all occasions!

Okish pizza, really helpful staff. Nice decor. Mediocre nothing to rave about but no faults either, was just ok.

Visited with a friend mid week, no booking needed though restaurant was quite busy, and selection of pizzas was excellent with some really different toppings-we ordered sweet chorizo/hot honey pizza, and Italian fennel sausage pizza both of which were very good-and the halloumi fries were perfect with jalepeno sauce. With drinks/beers bill for 2 came to around £34. Service was prompt and attentive-would definitely go back for more pizza! Thanks :-)

Came to visit some friends and was recommended here and it did not disappoint! I had the sweet chorizo pizza and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The salted caramel cocktail was amazing and there was a huge variety of other drinks and food specials to pick from. The decor was perfect for getting together with friends and the staff were very attentive. We will definitely be back!

Lunch was fantastic. Great service with incredible food. The lunch time menu offered up some different choices to what you would expect on a pizza but they were percect. My wife had garlic lentils and tomatoes which worked so well. I had blue cheese and wild mushroom which was probably one of the best pizzas I've ever tasted. The cheesy garlic bread was beyond words. I'd also recommend the humous and halloumi fries. I'll definitely be going back here.

Went with my family the other night, first impressions are good the place looks the part and is decorated well.

I was a bit disappointed when we first visited, as although the service was very friendly, the food took an age to come out, and when it did, the pizzas were tasty but very doughy.

Perfect is the only word I can use to perfectly describe our whole experience. The tablet we were seated, perfect. The service & attention to detail given by the staff, perfect. The menu was perfect.

Ordered a Margarita Buffalo to go so cant comment on atmosphere but the pizza was delicious. The dough was soft and crunchy atbthe same time, and the toppings full of flavour. Will definitely recomme
