Reviews Summary
Morris East is frequently praised for its delicious artisanal pizzas and friendly, welcoming service, creating a cozy atmosphere ideal for various occasions. However, some diners have noted issues with slow service during busy periods and occasional inconsistencies in ingredient proportions or dish preparation, leading to a mixed experience for some.
"I love it here! I come all the time because I live in Larryuteck & it’s guaranteed delicious. The service is amazing and the food is always 10/10. The olives are my favourite.. my mouth waters even thinking about them. Axel is an amazing Chef.. master chef worthy one might say & I was served for the first time tonight by the delightful Kaylie. She is a queen. 👸🏻 The absolute best option in Larry Uteck. Yummy food, great staff, clean restaurant and fast.. nothing to complain about & if you do- message me first😤"

"This place has to be studied. My sister Mariia and I were looking to have some great baked pizza and pasta on this warm sunny evening. And nothing except for the clean patio was good here.
1. The pizza dough was great, but the ingredient proportions were super off. We ordered Mediterranean pizza hoping to see lots of cheese and olives, but it was soaked with basil pesto and there was so much of it that we couldn’t taste anything else on the pizza.
2. The chicken pasta was awful. I expected an authentic Italian style pasta with different veggies and stuff but what I got is this “pasta” swimming in the pool of the sauce. I’m sorry but pasta made by a 5 year old would look and taste better, and this is a nice restaurant where it costs 25$. It’s just ridiculous. And the chicken was this huge chunk of meat which looked and tasted just like popeyes frozen chicken. It’s not restaurant level. We just tasted it and couldn’t touch it no more. Our dad will eat it.
3. The caramel tart also looked and tasted like a tart from a supermarket with some whipped cream on top. It was too sweet for me as well.
4. The customer service was ridiculous. It felt like the waitress kept avoiding us after we asked for the bill, we waited for a while. Then she brought us one bill, although I did ask for separate ones. After I said that again politely, she seemed irritated. After trying to pay with the debit card, she was hovering over me and looking what I’m pressing. And bingo! After I pressed “no tip”, which is my right to do + I was NOT happy with the service, she did not even try no more. She saw it and completely ignored my “thank you!”, didn’t even say goodbye or smile, just looked me in the eyes irritated turned away and left. Wow that’s some crazy work right there.
Here’s how to improve: stop using cheap semi finished foods for your restaurant. It does not match the name nor the price. Less nasty sauce, more real ingredients. Train your staff to be friendly regardless if they’re getting tips or not"

"I have no words. Such a scam.
As an European, I was really excited to try out this restaurant, but I didn’t expect it to be that bad. My sister Daria and I ordered a Mediterranean Pizza, Chicken pasta and a caramel dessert. The pizza was okay, except for the fact that it had too little cheese and too much green sauce, but the pasta was so shocking…
First of all, the pasta itself was undercooked (kinda hard to bite), and it was literally DROWNING in the red sauce. It had no cheese, no spices to it, just big and hard. The chicken was huge and tasted very, very bad. I couldn’t understand its texture, and I suppose it’s a semi-finished product, which is unacceptable for a restaurant. Also, there were pieces of cheese laying on top of it. It wasn’t melted or sprinkled on top, it was just laying on top. A piece of garlic bread given to it was a bit burnt, which is okay I guess. The caramel dessert was very small, and most likely bought from Sobeys, frozen, then melted and put some whipped cream on top of it. Not worth it at all, tasted very bad.
Another thing to talk about is the customer service. The waiter that was serving us was very unqualified. We had to wait a lot for each of her returnings, and after we asked and waited about 20 minutes for a separate bill, she brought us one bill. After she finally returned with the correct thing, she stared at the debit machine intently, and after seeing that neither my sister or I gave her any tips, she ignored our “thank you, have a good day”, grabbed the machine, turned around and left.
I think her behaviour was not acceptable, and genuinely speaking, I feel kind of sick after eating the food. I did not enjoy either the food or atmosphere in this place and paid 66$ for only two dishes and a dessert. This place is not worth the money or hype."
