Happy Italy Breda in Breda oost

Terrible manager who did nothing about the fact that my pizza wasn't a pizza but prawn crackers, just because I had carpaccio on it he said the base only went in the oven yeah so not in there long or anything then it really doesn't need to be that hard My friend asked for a discount we didn't get it and it wasn't even well filled First time for me going to a Happy Italy but once and never again there I'll go to Dordrecht instead

Wow, I received amazing service from Modjo yesterday. The food was delicious, but he really made the evening with his pleasant company at the table and a smile!

Arthur & Thalisa are super good servers! Very customer-friendly ❤️❤️❤️

Arthur and Talica were a very pleasant group. And they helped us perfectly. Arthur also brought a great atmosphere, and even though there were many of us, Talica served us with a smile!!

Warmly received by Thalissa, the atmosphere was very good. Arthur's saxophone was the icing on the cake!!!

A tasty pasta with smoked salmon. It was delicious. The service was very friendly.

Luca was a nice AI bot on the phone.

I have never seen such a bad pizza in my life. The cheese was of very low quality, probably the cheapest one can find on the market. The dough seemed to be made with cheap flour that might be easy to use, but has absolutely no taste. If you want to regret your money, come to this place. For me, this was the first and last time. Too bad, because you have a great reputation in the Netherlands. I hope that those in charge finally hire a real pizza baker who understands what pizza means. €13 for a Margherita? Truly unbelievable 😮‍💨😮‍💨 The person responsible for this place should be ashamed.

What an incredibly fun evening we had today. Friendly service and delicious food. Thank you, modjo. We will definitely be back.

Had a great evening with the family!! Modjo helped us so well, the service is truly amazing and we also had a good laugh with him. He definitely made our evening. We will be back soon.

I had a lovely lunch here with the whole family.

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 😲🍕🍝

Came to eat here two weeks ago and everything from the food to the service was more than fine.

Top service, I was very satisfied. At Happy Italy, we were well assisted by Mohamed 👌

Had a delicious meal. Friendly service. Large restaurant but still atmospheric. Thanks for the great service, top chef Nordin😎

We often come here as a family for a quick pizza and pasta. The portions are large, and you can take leftovers to go. Friendly service, especially the manager, Modjo 👍🏻

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

Despite the immense crowds, we are always helped in a friendly manner, and the entire team visibly does their best to assist everyone quickly and efficiently. Respect for how hard you work, always with a smile!

Received good service, the pasta wasn't right, but Appie gave me a new, good one! Great.

Had good service from Appie and a good meal, we will definitely come back

Appies is the pizza boss of Breda!

Appie is a true professional, good work brother😎. Cheers from Bergeijk

Service has been abysmal for years, and tonight was no exception, and we weren't the only ones who experienced this. The manager was nowhere to be seen all evening, while meanwhile nearly 20 staff members were on the floor for fewer than 50 tables. 18 too many in my opinion. During my years in the hospitality industry, I did this with just one other colleague and no one was left wanting. Here, they walk past rows of tables full of empty plates and glasses one after another like dumb sheep with handheld devices in hand, as if they are working very hard, and then you still have to raise your hand from behind your obviously empty plate and glass to get service. That service, which you also have to ask for in English, is then cheerfully forgotten, because they are all too busy looking right over the rows of tables full of empty plates and glasses. The table behind us was so fed up that they called the manager over, who actually understands the problem and apologizes, which makes you think: hey, the manager is on the floor, he’ll show his staff how it *should* be done. But no, less than 2 minutes after the neighbors’ complaint, he’s standing outside quietly smoking a cigarette; after all, he’s earned his break after that performance. There is really nothing left of the golden concept that Happy Italy was 10+ years ago; it’s a shame, though the food was pretty good this time. Edit for the owner: if your service at the office were just as skilled and fast as you respond to all these reviews, the problem would have been largely resolved. Good luck!

Delicious food, generous portions, fast and very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Upon entering, the man at the door was very curt and unfriendly. It is a pity that the waitress only spoke English. She was friendly, though. The Pizza Quattro Stagioni was very disappointing. The pizza was divided into four sections. One side had salami, one side ham, one side mushrooms, and on one side I was just eating artichokes. Seriously, surely this isn't a quattro stagioni??? On top of that, the crust was very hard, impossible to cut through with a knife. The truffle risotto, however, was very tasty. If I come back, it will be for the risotto, but I won't dare try the pizzas again.

Had a great experience at this place. Happy Italy never fails to deliver. They've got consistancy, great taste, and a cool aesthetic. Shoutout to our waiter Appi. It's rare that you come across a server who can juggle both conversation and productivity, but this guy is one of em.

The pomodore pasta was so blend, the crust for the pizza was kind of burnt, not enjoyable. The pizza was ok ok nothing great taste of Happy Italy "Epic Taste". The Virgin Mojito taste like sour sparking water with sad munt leaves... What to say about the service... The waiter is in hurry like to catch a train, probably because we came 1hour before kitchen closing time... They were more focused on closing cleaning than customer oriented. The restaurant location is great, its huge but thats it... Disappointed 😞

Got a burnt pizza. Had to ask for a new one. Then I was shocked because they were closing. Next, they forgot to serve dessert. Bad!

Burned pizza (got new ones after asking though..), slow service, but forced to shove it in my mouth before closing and then having to pay for the pizza take-away box! Terrible!!

Madjo was great. We had a delicious meal, especially the pasta carbonara was top-notch. The staff was friendly and the restaurant looked neat.

The Team of Happy Italy Tilburg really made a difference, it’s the second time I come here and now with the people from Tilburg it’s much greater

The food is delicious and the service provided by Mohamed and Abi were over the top. Highly recommende.

Nice place, and friendly staff, Thanks Abulkader he was very friendly and nice!

Had a nice dinner with the whole class to end the day. Super fast service and we all got our food at the same time. Great!

The food is delicious 😋 But the service seems unmotivated or something, just wandering around aimlessly and not really getting anything done.

Very basic carbonara, pizza was better but at least we didn't had to wait long

There are simply too few staff working in service, causing the wait to be extremely long. Ate here via Social Deals. Pizzas and pastas are very tasty.

I would only go here during special discount promotions. Otherwise, it is not worth the money.

Good food, too bad about the long wait times.

Smooth and friendly service Good menu Tables quite close together

I really don't understand the negative reviews. We ate here tonight with the Kruidvat voucher. It was delicious, the service was very friendly, and there is a nice play area for the children.

We came with a big group of teenies, kids and adults probably around 70 people.. our server Kheena ( I hope I spelled the name correctly) managed the 2 super long tables..we had to pay all per family and she took the orders smoothly...with the separate tables and commotion! She is truly an asset to this restaurant and we just want to mention it .we were a big group of foreigners coming for a sports event in Breda. The ambiance is great, the portions big, the drinks were yummy and it has a good variety of dishes to choose from.

We ate pizza. It can be summed up in one word: SALT. There was too much salt in the batter, too much in the sauce, and on top of that, there was a substantial amount in the slices of salami. Definitely not worth repeating. Additionally, the restaurant has the atmosphere of a ‘food factory’ and the service wasn't great either.

I gave a 5-star review last time, but I am just so disappointed now! It is heartbreaking that Social Deal has changed to “from 2 people”. This happened shortly after I visited, so I feel truly personally attacked. I called and they said that Social Deal was responsible for this, but that is absolutely not true! And if it were true, you could call Social Deal and tell them it needs to go back to 1 person!! I am a person working on my self-love, and solo dates are just part of the process. I hope you take this extremely seriously so that I can post a good review again. Excluding people because they want to eat alone is simply unacceptable.

We last ate there 2 years ago and it was bad then; the pizza was only three-quarters filled and the staff was very impersonal. At the time, our opinion was, "we are never eating there again." Last Tuesday, however, we made a reservation again and I have to admit, the pizzas were well-filled and tasted delicious, and the staff was very friendly too. Great... thanks, had a delicious meal.

The food was ok. The service was really nice. Especially the waitress Vanessa she was really helpfull and very nice. And if you need to drive just ask😉

We had to wait 40 minutes for our drinks; the pasta and pizza only arrived after almost an hour. We wanted to order a second drink, the waitress said a colleague was coming, but after sitting inside for 2.5 hours, we were never asked a second time for an extra drink. We asked for the bill three times and only managed to do so after walking over to the lady ourselves to pay. We told her we had a problem, but she told us that wasn't her problem. After 2.5 hours we got our ice cream, so we walked to the car and ate the ice cream. First and last time.

Unfortunately, sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not, it varies from day to day. It's a real shame for such a lovely Italian restaurant that I frequent quite often.

Large space, a bit too crowded. Pasta was okay, pizzas too hard and chewy. Knives barely cut through. Service was inattentive. Everything could be better with a few minor adjustments.

The pizza is too big for me, so I always order pasta. You always have to wait quite a while for service (to take your order and pay).

The service was excellent! A word of caution for those who don't speak English: many of the staff speak English. The food arrived quickly and was delicious.

I'll start by saying that Happy Italy usually makes me happy, but my last three visits to this restaurant have been anything but. I'll start with the first visit (0.1 star): there were fewer than 10 guests, we had a lot of trouble placing an order. There were only two of us in the restaurant, it was practically empty, and the staff were more focused on each other than on the guests. We ended up ordering a pizza and a spicy pasta. The pizza was overcooked and had enough tuna for three pizzas, so we sent more than half back to the kitchen. The spicy pasta (just a side note; I love spicy food, but this was absolutely ridiculous) was so spicy that the other ingredients were unrecognizable. Washing it down with drinks wasn't easy either. Since the staff were having such a good time together in the kitchen and on their phones, we couldn't order drinks until everything had cooled down, more than 30 minutes after we received our food. The food at the McDonald's in the same location tasted better and was better organized. Well, this was our first visit, and we were quite shocked, but we wanted to give it another chance. Our second visit to "happy" Italy: We decided to eat here again. Although the chef seemed to be in good spirits again on our second visit, and the food was of slightly better quality, the two pizzas had better toppings and were less burnt, I unfortunately can't compliment the service again. Another experience that wasn't "happy." We arrived a bit later in the evening, but ordering drinks was also difficult this time, and we didn't always get what we ordered. We went a bit later than the first time, and by 9:00 PM, we were already asked to place our last order. Fine, we thought. We'll have two more drinks and two desserts, but to our surprise, we were given the desserts in a doggy bag to take home. The chairs around us were already put on the table more than half an hour before closing time. The only thing that went quickly this time was paying. The service was again very unfriendly, and we felt rushed and had to leave quickly. The dessert, which came from a cardboard container at home, tasted like a third and final chance. Well, on our third visit, we thought, "Come on, Happy Italy, third time's the charm, you can do it." But unfortunately, the concept for this location, in my opinion, is completely rubbish. The food was mediocre again, and this is definitely not what we're used to from "Happy Italy." This time, by far the most staff were present, and we had a good feeling. Ordering went smoothly at first, as the food and drinks arrived quickly. The appetizer (the bruschetta) was so overcooked that it flaked apart when cutting it. Believe me, even the birds wouldn't eat a crumb of it. When we received our main course (pizza and pasta), the pizza was practically cold. We received one drink instead of two (as ordered), which happens every time we visit. We had added extra ingredients to the pasta, but the mushrooms were anything but fresh. When we tried to order dessert after the main course, the staff ignored us. We also noticed that other guests were already complaining to the staff. We were also fed up with standing at the cash register for 20 minutes to pay. The three staff members were taking a break and completely ignored the other guests. Walking out without paying probably wouldn't have been noticed, but we don't think that's polite either. When it was time to pay, we saw the chef, standing over the pasta dishes ready to be brought to the table, blow his nose and then continue without washing his hands. A pasta with extra bite is delicious. As Rob Geus would say: "This doesn't make me happy." For us, Breda is a "HORROR ITALY"...

The pasta was good and tasty. It was incredibly busy and noisy, though, so despite having a reservation, we still had to wait in line for our table. The food came a bit too quickly. We were out within an hour. Okay if you're with kids, otherwise not great.

Made a reservation and then were told the pizzas were gone.

We received our main course very quickly. After finishing it, it took 20 minutes before someone asked if we wanted dessert. Then it took another 20 minutes for that to arrive. The pizzas were otherwise delicious, but the dessert (the individual scoops) was a bit pricey, and the ice cream wasn't anything special.

Drama!!! Despite having a reservation, I waited 20 minutes in line to get a table. The staff doesn't speak Dutch. Orders aren't placed correctly. Pizzas arrive after 45 minutes unsliced, almost cold, and impossible to cut with a steak knife. My dessert order was forgotten, and then they weren't available at all. It took 15 minutes to pay because the equipment wasn't working.

Delicious food. Nicely presented too.

This place is huge and very popular, great food and great staff, spotless and a great atmosphere, I will definitely be back 😀

The quality of the food has deteriorated dramatically, truly unprecedented. Not to mention the service from the staff. Unfortunately, it's not what it used to be. And that's a real shame. Perhaps the reviews will be taken seriously and the quality of the food will improve; let that be management's top priority.

Despite a reservation, we still had to wait 20 minutes. What amateurs.

I had the pizza carpaccio, one of the tastiest pizzas I've ever eaten. Highly recommended!

Happy Italy isn't what it once was. I used to love going there, and the food and service were really good. Over the past few years (I think since Happy Italy expanded in terms of locations), the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly. The pasta sauce isn't good anymore, the pizzas have gotten much smaller, and the flavor has deteriorated. Those pizzas used to be large, and the crust and base were nice and thin. Now, they've become a lump of dough. The service has also deteriorated significantly. I always thought Breda was the best Happy Italy location to go to, partly because of the parking. I even happily queued outside for 30 minutes. Now the service is terrible: you receive unfriendly service and have to wait a long time to order and pay. By the way, not all the wait staff are unfriendly, but they are very rare these days... In short: I think it's a real shame that the quality of the food has deteriorated so much. If this place was as good as it used to be, I wouldn't care how unfriendly or uncustomer-oriented the staff were.

We had a table reservation. But we still had to wait in line for 20 minutes before we could get to our table. We ordered drinks and looked at the menu. The kids had to use the restroom (a single-seat men's restroom for such a large restaurant is ridiculous!). When I was there with the kids, the waiter had been by our table, my wife had told me I'd gone to the restroom, and he said he'd be back in a few minutes. After trying to get his attention for 20 minutes, I ordered via the QR code because he'd simply forgotten about us. Then we had to wait another 35 minutes for our food. The pasta and pizza were fine. The happy pizza for the kids looked nice. But it was a bit of a shame that the peppers were raw and cold. After eating, I physically went to the waiter after 10 minutes of trying to get his attention to pay. Getting outside was also a challenge with the large group of people waiting! We were told goodbye. But I think that's very unlikely!

The service is terrible. You wait in line for half an hour, asking if you can be helped. They just walk away. I've never seen such a terrible place.

What a mess. Stay away. Made a reservation, but there were 50 people in line. We've been standing there for an hour. Not recommended.

Relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, and good service. Also very suitable for young children.

It took a long time before we could ask a waiter for the bill. Everyone was looking straight ahead, so making contact was difficult.

I come here regularly and it's always good. The pizzas are delicious and the prices are fair.

The food was very good. We did have to wait a long time for our pre-reserved seats, though.

The kitchen takes an hour to make a few pizzas. The staff doesn't understand that you have to ask people if they want anything else or if it's to their liking. The soup kitchen at the homeless place is better.

The pizzas were so hard my teeth broke off. I had to cut the pizza myself, which made it fly off the table. The pizza was bald. The waffle was as dry as Santa Claus's.

After a long time, I went for lunch again. Luckily, there's a real ray of sunshine working the staff (what a cheerful, lovely lady). It was quite different during previous visits (grumpy staff who seemed to do everything reluctantly). This time, I had a wonderful meal and felt good about it.

IF you manage to get something to eat, it's perfectly fine. The line of confused people with reservations is long, chaotic, and blocks everything. What amateurs.

If you think you have to make a reservation, you still have to stand in a queue of 10 meters long 🤣bye, we went to the bears opposite

Arriving at the restaurant to grab a nice meal before the movie... we thought. As other reviews have mentioned, the welcome wasn't exactly welcoming. We had to wait 20 minutes to get to our table. Finally, we got a table and ordered our food and drinks. Everything went well until we got our appetizer. A small container of pesto fell from our appetizer tray onto the floor. It happens, of course, but some of our clothes were stained with it. The person walked away to get a new container... no "sorry or apologies, I'm going to get a cloth." No! He returned with the container and sprinted off again. We ended up asking for napkins and a dishcloth ourselves. They gave us a dry dishcloth and told us to go to the toilet if we wanted to get it wet. How hospitable?! Then came the main course. There were four of us, and three of us got our food. "Maybe your dish will arrive a bit later..." It didn't. They "forgot" it. Ridiculous! Our waitress had even cancelled our order before sending it to the kitchen. Because of all this awkwardness, we finally decided to ask the manager how we could resolve this. Perhaps some compensation? "Drinks are on us," meaning you'd be ordering four drinks that weren't included in the terms and conditions. WHICH DRINKS WERE THEY? In short: the food is fine, the service is EXTREMELY BAD.

I ordered two ice creams, which were served on one plate. We waited 36 minutes before being served. The pizzas were simply not good. I'll never eat here again! I stopped the waiter and told him I wanted to file a complaint, but he only spoke English and said he would pass the complaint on to someone, but that person never came to the table. This place is a complete mess. The service is terrible.

It's truly awful to eat. The pizzas are incredibly hard, and the knives are terrible at cutting. Napkins are simply thrown on the table when you ask for them. The pizzas are only half-cooked. We also had to wait 15 minutes for the order form.

A lot of foreign staff who are simply unsuitable. Ice cream with whipped cream, which was a wafer-thin, melted layer. The pizza wasn't good. We had to wait half an hour for service. I was looking at the reviews, and apparently it's been going on for a while, and the management isn't doing anything with the reviews to improve it. So I just accept one star. It's the management who handles the reviews and doesn't resolve the complaints. I see many reviews with the same complaints, so if the management isn't good, it's not the ground staff's fault.

The food was average. The waiter was friendly. The only advantage was the movie deal.

The food is excellent, just like any other Happy Italy. The staff, like other Happy Italy restaurants, aren't exactly a calling card. They're friendly until you get your food. Then you often get a look, like, "Are you still here?" But that doesn't stop me from enjoying a delicious pizza and/or pasta.

Great for a quick Italian bite. Often very busy, but you can make a reservation these days. The staff speaks English, but there's also little table service.

Wanted to order a drink After a long time trying to get in touch, I could only order a soft drink. Even though the place was still open for half an hour. You can make more money on cocktails, but oh well.

What a crappy place! Extremely poor service. They even close the bar half an hour beforehand. Unfriendly staff!

Nothing fancy, just good food and nice people. And good beer.

It was my first time there. I really recommend it. Everything is delicious and fresh.

Delicious food and friendly service.

Super tasty food, friendly staff, worth repeating!!!!

Great food, a bit of a long wait because it was busy, but we had a pleasant time.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy, and despite the crowd, the service was still quite fast. A great place, especially with kids!

Very tasty food, great service!

We had a delicious meal and despite the crowds we received our food quickly.

We had a delicious meal tonight! Unfortunately, the food wasn't very hot. Because it was busy due to an event, we had to wait a bit longer, but the staff kept their cool! We'll definitely be back.

Had a wonderful meal with the whole family...great!!

Delicious pizza, very busy but we got a table quickly. Friendly service.

We had a fantastic meal at Happy Italy Breda tonight. We were seated quickly and were able to place our order with the friendly waiter.

It was very busy on a Saturday and therefore noisy. Orders were served quickly. All in all, it wasn't bad. The waiters were quick and polite.

Very friendly service and delicious food. The fast service is convenient when combined with a visit to the cinema.

We had dinner at Happy Italy in Breda tonight. We didn't have a reservation, but we easily got a nice table. We had delicious bruschetta and a tasty pizza and risotto. The service was fast and friendly. Excellent!

Had a delicious meal, good pizza, friendly staff, everything top-notch. Pascal, nice guy ;) Enjoying the doggy bag again tomorrow.

For a quick plate of pasta, this is a great place to sit. We had a social deal, which meant we were seated a bit separately with a limited menu, but with plenty of choice. It was a shame they weren't able to order everything. But my truffle pasta was delicious, and whatever I couldn't finish, I got to take home in a nice container.
