Review of The Plum Tomato

Good food and good prices but a rather limited menu compared to Family Pizza across the street. I have only ever ordered takeout from here, so I cannot attest to their dining experience, but the people at the takeout area (separate from the main restaurant) have been nothing but nice and helpful.

Wait times for takeout are reasonable and some of their food is absolutely delectable (I especially love their sauce and grated pizza). But much of their menu is not my cup of tea as it is sandwich-heavy and cheese-heavy; I am lactose intolerant so I prefer not to have to take lactose enzymes when I can help it in addition to not being a fan of cheese-heavy dishes.

But they complement Family Pizza in many ways offering more affordable and in my mind at least quick meals than the other. So if by some chance you find yourself in Colchester on a rainy night and can t decide which to grab, then consider your budget and appetite and you might be be better able to make up your mind between these two good restaurants.
