Restaurant Pizzeria Klein Matterhorn

Enormous pizza at 44F, which is cheaper than 2 normal size pizzas and approximately the same area as 3 normal pizzas!! Super value for money! If you go for the family size pizza, you can choose ANY flavour and it's still 44F. Onto the pizza: totally fresh ingredients, cooked in the wood oven. Wonderful flavours. The broccoli was cooked to perfection, not overdone nor underdone, which is hard to achieve, and the egg yolk creamy and golden and still runny. Yum! The service: marvellous. They speak German, English and Italian. Friendly and helpful. One of the waiters only really spoke Italian but was so funny and charming that he made up for what he lacked in language knowledge, and I learnt some Italian! . But the main waiting staff are multilingual. They also have a salad buffet that we didn't try, but saw, that looked good, with a variety of about 8-10 ingredients, you fill your plate as you like. Highly recommended place with direct views of the Matterhorn and surrounding hills and an excellent terrace and a lovely interior.

So the view is amazing. You can see the Matterhorn so well. Service takes a while. Guests that came after us were served way before us. We had two 'focaccias' which were pizza dough with toppings and one pizza. The buratta on the focaccia was stone cold and basically just mozzarella. The buffalo mozzarella on the pizza was cold and thrown on after it came out of the oven. The food was left on the counter for a while before it got served (slow servers?) And when we did get it I had a hair in my pizza. Not happy!

What a mess. First of all, let's get the good out of the way: the interiors are very nice and we were seated in a room with a gorgeous glass wall with a view on the mountains. It was four of us, I got served within 10 minutes and my pizza had undercooked potatoes as per the photo, possibly the least appetising undercooked ingredient. Two other guests were served 45 minutes after that while the fourth guest was only served (a soup!) after everyone else had finished, one hour later than I got my pizza. Food is mediocre, certainly not worth the money you pay for it. Not awful, I've certainly had worse. Even in Zermatt there are cheaper, tastier options available. I can imagine a normal pizza will be ok, so if you're in for pizza I think you would be ok -- maybe stay clear of the potatoes. Otherwise, I would just avoid, personally.
