During the launch of this food serving, delivery and franchising diner, Metro spoke to some of the customers who flooded the tables to get their first bite of the assorted pizzas.
“Their Pizza is hot. It is truly a wonderful taste when you take that first bite, and all the flavours in the sauce, cheese, and seasoning go rushing towards your taste buds. Second thing is the sound the pizza makes, that crunchy sound you hear when you bite into that delicious seasoned crust is like heaven on earth," says one of the first customers, Nyakallo Motena.
"I am very foodie. I love to eat and cook. The food gives me energy. Without food, there is no life. There are so many dishes available in Lesotho nowadays, like Chinese and Indian foods among others. Pizza is one of my favourite foods because it tastes and smells fabulous.
“It looks and tastes so yummy, crispy and cheesy. There is no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza box on your lap. My love for Pizza is amazing. I am always hungry for pizza, any time of the day. Cheese is the secret ingredient of any food and it makes any food taste yummy," says another pizza lover, Lipalesa Thinyane.
"A pizza lover will always be a pizza lover. There is something between me and pizza; the bond which cannot be broken. No matter how much I have eaten, I never fail to make myself feel hungry when I have my favorite pizzas in front of me. Flavours are felt exploding in my mouth when I take the first bite of my pizza. My love for my pizzas is eternal and nobody on this earth could ever take this from me until I die," says another pizza enthusiastic Bennett "Cheeseboy" Martins.
