Happy Italy Breda in Breda oost

Found hair in my food. It was edible, but not recommended.

We were not let in because we didn't have a reservation, even though there were free tables. We had to wait until the people with a reservation arrived, ate, and cleared the table, without being told how long that would take: half an hour? An hour? Or maybe even three? I wouldn't recommend it!

Only after 20 minutes and after signaling 10 times did someone come to take our order. When the drinks were brought, we received a broken glass. The food itself was fine. The service was really terrible. A lot of grumpiness from the staff.

Nice if you go with smaller children. The food was mediocre. The atmosphere was fine. Don't go here if you want to eat quietly and have a sensible conversation; there is too much noise from everything and everyone around you.

The food and service are good, but there is just very little atmosphere.

The pasta tasted bland and had a somewhat chemical flavor. The pizza was large but not particularly special in terms of taste. Little sauce, thick crust, and dry. The pizza cost about €18.00. Service is quick once you've ordered, but they don't notice you right away. You really have to get their attention. It used to be more affordable than it is now. It had been a long time since we'd been there, but it will certainly be a while before we go again. I prefer the authentic Italian. This is mass production.

Ordered 1 pasta and 2 pizzas; the pasta was good, but both pizzas were undercooked. I don't expect that in a pizzeria, and there was a shortage of staff. We had made a reservation but had to wait in line, even though there were still many tables available. All in all, a disappointment.

Had a delicious meal, super friendly staff, just a bit noisy but it was packed.

There is a really nice atmosphere here and tasty food at a good price, the staff here are also very nice! They also have a wide selection of dishes, the chef Appie is very friendly and creates a nice atmosphere, and as for the waitstaff Nayla is very nice, we had a very pleasant feeling with her. It was a nice outing to Happy Italy, we will definitely come back here 😲🍕🍝

I was there and it was excellent, and the treatment and service were outstanding. There was a girl whose name I think is Nayla. She was very nice to us. I will be back soon and I recommend everyone go to this place. The food tastes like you in the outskirts of Naples. It is really worth it.

Oh my goodness, how beautiful it is!

Good food, large portions, great choice of different pizza’s and pasta’s with halal and kid friendly options. Staff is friendly and welcoming

Served perfectly by the Moroccan pizza baker!

The food was great and we were helped very well by Modjo; he was very friendly and very sweet to our children.

The staff is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere isn't that great. They do try to create it through the decor. The food is okay. A thick crust of dough without toppings. The pasta was well-filled.

The pizza maker helped us really well; he really created the vibe.

Received really good service from the pizza maker!! This man is pure vibe. Top notch.

The pizza baker helped me well.

The pizza maker helped us well. They are quick and friendly.

Delicious pizza! Great service!

Had a delicious meal! Good service! Worth repeating.

We went to eat at Happy Italy with a group. Very good service, we received our order quickly and it was delivered to the table.

It was fun being next to my favorite colleagues

Absolutely not worth the money. Very, very little topping and the crust was rock hard. The pizza was better 2 weeks ago. Easy money this time. Shame. The manager asked for our opinion. Nice man. As compensation, 1 free soft drink. I gave a tip anyway, but the quality of the pizza was downright bad. I bought 200 euros worth via a Kruidvat offer. So we still have some credit. I hope the next one is of better quality with more toppings too. Update today Oct 2, 2026. Pizza was perfectly fine. Well-topped and a good crust. My wife's pasta was also perfectly fine. Delicious.

Hé was funny but we were at the door, and that was a bit cold. Great server

LOTS OF CHOICE AND FRIENDLY STAFF

I had already finished eating and the lady I was with was still eating; to my surprise, my portion was cleared away. This is very unfortunate! The lady who showed us to the table did a great job, gave a good explanation, and was very friendly!

After being served the wrong thing three times, we gave up and just ate what we were given. What a nightmare there. The incompetence is dripping from it. And the bill wasn't right either. It was corrected, but what a bunch of bunglers. Never going there again. A truly soulless eating hall.

I went to Happy Italy in Breda today with a friend. We were immediately served in a friendly manner, and the food arrived quickly, was nice and hot, and delicious. The portions were also nice and big! A special compliment to Modjo. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive the whole time. When I accidentally ordered the wrong pasta, he immediately adjusted it for me. He really made sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt welcome. Thanks for the great service, Modjo! 😊

Food and atmosphere are great. 10/10 service from Lotte!

Very disappointing experience at Happy Italy Breda. Long wait time and the food was really substandard. After a long wait, the pizza was also served cold. The salmon pasta contained only a few small pieces of salmon, which were hard, to the point where it even looked like there were pieces of bone in them. The salad was not tasty at all either. We took advantage of the Kruidvat promotion, for which we had already paid €15 in advance. This entitled us to two pizzas/pastas under the promotion. However, when settling the bill, it turned out to be completely incorrect. For instance, the salad suddenly appeared for €0 on the receipt, even though it was not included in the promotion at all, while €16.75 was charged for the salmon pasta, which was supposed to be included in the promotion. As a result, we suddenly had to pay €27.20, even though we had only ordered a salad, two drinks, and some extra additions in addition to the dishes from the promotion. Add to that the €15 we had already paid in advance at Kruidvat, and the benefit of the promotion was virtually gone. When I pointed out that the bill was incorrect, I received a very unclear explanation regarding the order in which the dishes were ordered, that the first two dishes were ‘free’, and that “the receipt was the deciding factor.” I had to explain several times why this couldn't be right. Eventually, the manager came over, and we waited a total of ten minutes before the bill was corrected. I am quite good at math, and even I was confused by this receipt and explanation. I seriously wonder how many customers simply pay this without realizing it. To me, this course of events struck me as very misleading. For that few euros difference, after having to defend myself three times and the long wait, I almost left. At that moment, another customer said to me: “Stand your ground, because things ALWAYS go wrong here! It’s just that my daughter wants the Nutella pizza, otherwise I wouldn’t be standing here.” Frankly, I found that telling. Ultimately, it’s not even about those few euros for me, but about the principle and the way it was handled. When you use a promotion as a customer, you should be able to trust that it is processed correctly without having to scrutinize the entire bill yourself and defend your position multiple times. Combined with the long wait time and the poor food, this was absolutely the last time for us at Happy Italy Breda. I sincerely hope that something is done about this state of affairs.

We waited a very long time before our order was taken, even though it wasn't busy at all. After sitting at the table for almost an hour, we received our drinks and food. Two of the four pizzas could not be cut with the provided knives. Those pizzas were taken back to the kitchen by the waiter to be cut. The edges of the pizzas were burnt. We left them.

It's a shame, it used to be a nice place with good prices. You could eat here with the whole family for not too much money. Unfortunately, the portions have shrunk considerably and the prices have almost doubled. Actually, you might as well eat something else. Moreover, the service is very slow; I waited longer than 30 minutes for my food.

Terrible. No atmosphere, very noisy. Looks like a food factory. Unfriendly and impersonal staff. Waited more than an hour for the food, which tasted terrible to boot. Pasta with nothing on it, tasteless, poor quality. Terrible and we will certainly never come back. I have apologized to the person I took out to dinner with for this unpleasant experience.

Tasty as always. Just had to wait an hour for our food again.

Oh, oh!!! They stole our wedding ring tonight!!!! I called and that guy is acting like it’s nothing!! I’m going to file a police report!! You are thieves!!! I’m not done with this!! Go all the way because it’s our daughter’s lucky ring and wedding ring!! I’m going all the way!!!))!))

The pizzas were good, but the play area was very noisy. I don't think much has been done about the acoustics either, so don't expect a quiet dinner.

Unfortunately, we were out of luck. Something probably went wrong with the order. The people who had come in before us were almost finished eating. We still hadn't received anything. We asked what was going on, and asked again a little later. Murphy's Law applied. The two of us got the food, the other two 10 minutes later. When you want to pay, there is no one to be seen again. We walked to the exit and paid out of courtesy. The price-quality ratio for the food is fine, but this annoyance puts a damper on the dining experience. Last time it was fine. Hopefully, this is a one-off mistake.

Super delicious food and good service.

Due to the staff shortage, we were not allowed to sit outside (this has been the case all summer). The staff was friendly. The food was good.

Had incredibly good service and humor from/with Lotte :)

I really do like the all-you-can-eat concept, but this one is actually a bit disappointing. There are better options in the area with friendlier service.

We went to Happy Italy for a surprise birthday dinner. But unfortunately, it wasn't such a good experience. The service was poor; we weren't asked if we wanted anything to drink and had to ask for it ourselves every time. Empty glasses were not cleared. For dessert, we eventually had to go and ask ourselves if we could order something because they didn't come to the table to take our order. We had asked for fireworks with the main course because of the birthday boy, but this was forgotten too.. The food was tasty, though!

We visit Happy Italy Breda regularly, as the pizzas are simply delicious. In recent years, the pizzas have become much more expensive; the drinks are also pricey, and smaller (cola) bottles are served. The Breda branch is going downhill a bit; the restaurant is almost empty, and then you have to wait another 30 minutes for pizzas that are subsequently cold. The staff is also unmotivated, speaks only English, and is not friendly. The outdoor area is also poorly maintained, with broken tiles and paving that is coming up, posing a tripping hazard. It is a good thing my kids like the food, but it hasn't been "Happy" Italy for a long time.

It took a very long time before we got our drinks. At some point we got our food, which was tasty, but then we still had to ask for our drinks and had to wait a bit longer. It was quite quiet, that wasn't the problem, but they found chatting amongst themselves more important than bringing the drinks.

We are fans of Lotte, what a nice lady, very hospitable and not afraid to speak her mind, very sociable, keep her!!!! 💗💗

We made an attempt to eat here today. Upon entering, there were about 80 tables available; the waitstaff then directed us to the queue, where several grumbling people were already standing, having apparently been waiting there for 20 minutes. The waitstaff paid no attention to the queue; no one was escorted to a table. When the queue reached approximately 30 people and no one could enter or leave anymore because the hall was also full, we approached the staff for the third time to ask if people could be taken to a table. After this, we and another couple were finally escorted to a table. Here too, we waited a long time; no one came to take our drinks or food orders. The staff was busy with all sorts of things, but not with the guests or the long queue. Eventually, we left again, without having had anything to drink or eat.

Had a delicious lunch, nice atmosphere, and the pizzas tasted delicious.

Never again, reheated pasta with watery tomato sauce and grilled vegetables from the warming tray... zero atmosphere. Candles on the table dirty and not used, asked if one could be lit but nothing was done about it. This was the third time and never again. Doesn't live up to the name.

I had a delicious meal. Super salmon and spinach pasta. The staff really deserve a pat on the back too. They were all so friendly. A bowl of water for IZZI was placed on the table without me even asking. It is a friendly mix of all kinds of European nationalities. 👍🏼 Great, and now time to relax at home.

My wife, three children, and I had a fantastic meal. The staff were incredibly friendly, and our little one was able to play in a ball pit while we waited for our food. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely come back. Thank you for the wonderful evening and the excellent service.

You have to like this concept.... A bit busy...

I have been here before, but yesterday was really bad. You were only allowed to come with a reservation, but he didn't suggest that I could reserve immediately. I checked the website myself and placed a reservation. I had to wait 30 minutes until it was time, which wasn't a problem, by the way. Upon arrival, I received the wrong order twice. They don't check properly, even though I showed my table number. Then I had to wait a long time for dessert. I won't be coming here again.

The food tasted good; I missed truffle mayonnaise on my carpaccio salad, whereas my husband did have it on the carpaccio pizza. It was very busy, but even so, we didn't have to wait long for our food.

Very busy and noisy, lots of screaming and crying children. The food was good but not great. I was still finishing my pasta when someone was already at the table asking if we wanted dessert. Happy Italy is nice for quickly wolfing down a pizza or pasta and being back outside within half an hour.

Good pizza, very friendly service and a very nice atmosphere. Top. Served by a very friendly and professional Makkokan man. Give the man a rase

Served by the Moroccan pizza maker, super tasty pizzas and great service!

Always great service! Shoutout to the Moroccan pizza maker!

Present, busy 🐝 that Moroccan pizza baker

Had a delicious meal there, thanks to the Moroccan pizza maker.

Had a delicious meal at Happy Italy in Breda! Friendly staff, tasty food, and a great atmosphere. Special compliments to our waiter, "the Moroccan pizza maker." Definitely recommended, I would love to come back!

Legendary evening thanks to the Moroccan pizza maker🤙🤙🤙

The Moroccan Pizza Baker ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredibly fun evening we had at Happy Italy! 🇮🇹🍕 We came with a group of 15 people and despite the size of our group, everything was arranged super well. The atmosphere was cozy, the food was delicious, and the service was truly top-notch! A special shout-out to the Moroccan pizza baker. What a star! 🙌 He was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome all evening. As a very large group, we were treated super quickly and well; the food arrived quickly and was super again, and the Moroccan pizza baker remained incredibly cheerful and helpful. Thank you for the lovely evening! We will definitely be back again. ❤️🍝

The Moroccan pizza maker won us over with his charm tonight. The food was delicious!

The Moroccan pizza maker was amazing during the service and friendly.

5-star review by the Moroccan pizza baker who gave us an unforgettable experience and service.

Delicious food, good atmosphere and service. Definitely worth coming back to.

The worst pizza doner I have ever eaten. There was no doner to be seen; the chicken doner must have flown right through it. The pizza tasted like nothing. Coke Zero was unavailable. Never again.

Reserved for 6:30 PM, stood waiting outside for over 30 minutes before we could go inside.

We had made a reservation for 6:30 PM but stood in line (outside) until 7:00 PM before we got a table. The waitresses were really super friendly. They basically earned the 5 euro tip between the two of them. We had to wait half an hour before we got the pizza. We had the vegan pizza, and I understand that for many that won't be the tastiest, but I've had quite a few good vegan pizzas and this wasn't one of them! It had a crust that was too hard with cold tomato sauce, and stray bell peppers and arugula. It turned out you had to order the plant-based cheese separately, so even that wasn't on it. Blech

Very busy, which meant no service was possible. It wasn't the staff's fault, but everything took a very long time. Ordering via QR code apparently didn't work, despite a confirmation. We discovered this when, after sitting for half an hour, we understood from the waitress who came to take our order that our order hadn't gone through at all... The pizzas finally arrived after an hour; they were fine (unfortunately not very warm). The crowds and staff shortage were really a shame. You don't pay much less here than in a "normal" pizzeria with atmosphere; next time we'll just go somewhere else. In earlier reviews from a week ago, we read that the Cola Zero was out of stock, and that was still the case. That shouldn't be possible.

Had a reservation for 4 people at 5:00 PM. First, I had to wait 20 minutes outside the door before we were shown to the nearest table. Very unnecessary. We were given the menu for one minute before we could order drinks and food right away. We were going to the cinema at 6:30 PM, so we thought we would have enough time; clearly a miscalculation. The host takes the order for 3 people and then asks if we have everything; no, clearly not, because there are 4 people at the table. There was one lady who was actually working, a tall girl with brown hair. The rest of the staff clearly had no interest in their work. I have been to Happy Italy several times before and have never had a positive experience. Will not be coming back.

You know that a restaurant like that is a big gluttony factory where you only go for a quick and affordable bite that isn't deep-fried. And even then, it can turn out to be a nasty disappointment. If the service can't handle it when the restaurant isn't even half full, I don't want to know what happens when it actually is busy. How long do you have to wait for your main course then? But anyway, the food is pretty good.

Good food, but a lot of noise from screaming children. Been a few times, it's the same every time.

The location is fine. We were there a few days earlier as well, and even then there was no diet/zero cola. On August 15th, there was no Italian Mess left even around 6:00 PM. Very unusual and very disappointing that there was no diet cola or Italian Mess. Besides the fact that no alternative to the diet cola was offered (even though there were cans in the fridge a few days earlier when we were also dining there!!) and that we only received 2 scoops of ice cream instead of Italian Mess (which doesn't exactly demonstrate hospitality), the lady who served us wasn't the friendliest. The food was fine, but otherwise disappointing. This means we will not be visiting this branch again.

Breda Branch. Last night, we visited Happy Italy for the umpteenth time. This time in Breda. A few years ago, we were negatively surprised by the quality and service (read: we were treated really rudely and even ridiculed), and this time it wasn't much better. It started right away with taking our seats at the table. A waitress came to take our drink order. When we asked if there was sugar-free soda available because of a person with diabetes, we were told quite bluntly and quickly that the Coke Zero was out of stock. When we asked if there were other zero drinks, we were told there weren't. After we had ordered the drinks, we felt it took quite a long time for them to arrive. It turned out, when taking the food order (21 minutes later), that the drink order had been cancelled by the waitress. So we had to do it all over again. When the drinks were brought, it suddenly turned out that zero soda WAS available after all. When we asked if we could then swap the water for the Zero Sprite, the answer was short and irritable. Since I don't want to make the story too long, I will briefly summarize how the rest of our outing went. - Partially incorrect food order (a completely different meal for one person), meaning three-quarters of the party was practically finished when the meal for the fourth person was finally delivered. - We had to ask for extra cheese three times. - We were not asked if everything was to our liking. Had they done so, we could have indicated that two of the three meals were not to our liking. - We were not asked if we wanted anything to drink during the hour we were there. When we waved to the waitress, we were ignored. Our entire section was not visited (but the young men at the entrance to our section were visited more than enough). When my party walked out without me so I could briefly discuss something with the manager, that conversation was rudely and bluntly interrupted by the waitress, who said that my table had walked out without paying. She said to the manager, and I quote: "I'll just go get them." When I told her I was still there to pay, she didn't even recognize me. That says something about the service. The manager told me that this was a new employee. It is very strange that this is always the case. I have actually heard from others that this is the reason for a bad experience. All in all, this was a very unpleasant experience, and we have decided not to go back to Happy Italy. We therefore advise everyone against it. The quality of the food had also deteriorated significantly compared to the past.

I was really looking forward to having a nice meal here, but it was a huge disappointment. There wasn't even Coke Zero. Was it out of stock?!! And there was only a minimal choice of desserts too, because you guessed it. Everything was gone. And we were there on time, because we had the 6:45 PM movie.

The pizza arrived at the table already cold, and several drinks were no longer available. One was still added to the bill, though. Fortunately, the employee noticed this when settling the bill.

Unfortunately, I am of the opinion that the quality at Happy Italy is declining. The pizza size is still generous, but the toppings are limited, apart from the tomato sauce and cheese. For dessert, the children had a kids' ice cream in a cup, which was fine. But the waffle with mascarpone and strawberries for €6.95 was just a supermarket sugar waffle with a smear of mascarpone (not a good one) and, moreover, poor quality strawberries. Happy Italy, don't do this!

Had a delicious meal. Good and fast service. Great deal via Social Deal.

Super friendly service, delicious pizzas, and free parking.

The lady at reception was very friendly. The rest of the staff clearly weren't in the mood. I then remembered that it was the same last time. Drinks are just plunked down on the table. When dessert was cleared away, I had to ask if they would take away the plates and cutlery from the pizzas that we had finished well over half an hour earlier. The reaction was, "Oh, do you want me to take those?" Only then did he come walking back. It wasn't busy, by the way; two-thirds of the customers had already left.

Unfortunately, I cannot leave a review because I did not eat at Happy Italy. I had made a reservation, but when I arrived at the restaurant, I simply had to join the long line outside the door. That doesn't seem right to me; if you make a reservation, I assume the table is available and you don't have to wait half an hour to get in. I went somewhere else to grab a bite to eat. This is a real shame.

The base of the pizza was even tougher than cardboard.

Unfortunately, the quality of a few years ago is gone. More and more dishes that have nothing to do with Italian cuisine. For dessert, I had Panna Cotta; on top of it was jam from a jar instead of 'red fruit compote'.

We had a delicious meal. But it seemed like they were actually already closing up. We couldn't choose from several items (waffles and sweet pizza). And while our dessert hadn't arrived yet, another waiter came by our table to tell us that it was the last round of drinks. When the chairs behind us were being placed on the tables, I went to ask if they were closing already, because oh, the website says until 21:30. We arrived between 19:15 and 20:50. I understand it's the holiday season, but guests shouldn't feel like they are being put on shaky ground.

Pizzas tasty. But service still needs work. Staff ignore you. Mistakes in our order. 2 out of 3 pizzas served incorrectly, and 1 out of 3 pizzas simply forgotten.

Pasta was lukewarm; after returning it, it came back lukewarm from the kitchen again. Happy Italy is no longer what it used to be.

The food was fine, the service too, nice girl! Otherwise, the atmosphere was mediocre and the toilets were bad. And if you can't even get spaghetti anymore in a pasta/pizza restaurant before the weekend rush, that is definitely a missed opportunity.

It was so bad. We have come to eat at your place often. But this time it was really that bad. At the 🍕, you had to search for the chicken and such. The staff wasn't friendly either. You had to wait a very long time for everything. The bubble tea wasn't how it was supposed to be either. It was supposed to have mint, and neither lemon was in it. I thought it was really bad. And if you said anything about it, you got annoyed. I do think we should get some kind of voucher. Or that the three of us can eat at your expense. I thought it was really bad and the staff was bad.

Waiting, waiting, waiting. First upon arrival: no one at reception and it took quite a while. Then no one to take our order, waiting, waiting for the drinks. When the order turns out to be wrong, then number 2 comes. Instead of a mix-and-match, there were 2 pizzas. Next, they argued with us that we had supposedly ordered incorrectly. We got what we wanted twice and that was okay, but apparently not. Pizzas gone, another 4 (!) employees in consultation (with the pizzas getting cold in their hands). If we weren't in a hurry, it was a soap opera: lots of staff but no one knew what to do, running around, and the chef... he must have been on vacation.

Reserved, stood in line for half an hour only to be turned away due to a staff shortage. You can also call customers to cancel; what service.

The pastas were inedible and the pizzas were burnt, the pasta bolognese was full of hairs, and the pasta pesto was too sour.

Terrible. We waited 75 minutes for our food. And we still hadn't received anything. We spoke to various staff members. "It will be here soon," was the answer.

The dishes were very tasty and the staff worked hard, despite the crowds. Unfortunately, we had to wait more than half an hour for our ice cream. When I went to check, five of the six ice creams were already ready on a tray. Next, the employee went to operate the coffee machine first, causing the ice creams to sit there for a few minutes, start to melt, and fruit flies to land on them. Only then was the last ice cream made. When the order was finally served, the scoops were already soft and partially melted. Tip: Finish your ice cream order completely before moving on to other orders.

Unfortunately, Happy Italy is much worse than we are used to. First, they forgot to bring drinks to half the table. Finally, after waiting for an hour, they brought the food. Unfortunately, they forgot to make two pizzas, so everyone at the table had finished eating before the pizzas arrived. The staff is unfriendly and just laughs it all off. We experienced the same problems at this Happy Italy last year. But unfortunately, nothing has changed.

The food was not as tasty as we are used to from you.

I rarely post a bad review, but I am doing so now. If you have to wait 2 hours for a 2-course meal even though you have a reservation, then your organization is not in order. I asked for water in between and even that took half an hour. Overcrowded restaurant, noise, staff who say yes and do no. Stay away from here.

The pizza was cold.... had to wait a very long time for the food.. no cushion on the couch to sit on. If you ask for one, you get a snap. The ice cubes in your glass were a puddle of water, not ice.

The sweet girl who helped us didn't write down the order correctly, I think. Anyway, no extra mozzarella was delivered to either pizza, and it turned out it wasn't noted either. We asked a staff member who took the two plates, but they just brought them back because everything had gone well in the kitchen, since they said it hadn't been ordered. We asked another staff member for Affinity, but she didn't understand. Another staff member came over and we explained everything again... end of story: our mood was ruined! Such a shame!!!
