Buongustai in Leicester was once known as the best pizza shop in town, serving up delicious, freshly made Italian food with efficient and friendly service. However, recent changes in ownership have led to a decline in quality, with burnt pizzas, overly salty dishes, and a reduced menu at higher prices. Some loyal customers have expressed disappointment and frustration at the changes, feeling that the original charm of the restaurant has been lost. Despite this, there are still positive reviews from those who enjoyed the authentic flavors and friendly service, hoping for an improvement in the future. Overall, Buongustai offers a casual dining experience with tasty options like margherita pizza and custom calzones at reasonable prices, ideal for a quick and affordable meal in Leicester.
