Restaurants choose to join at their own discretion, to help fill empty tables and to create a buzz early into their service. That means what while you’re tucking into a sunny brunch or an elevated dinner for half the price, you're also helping restaurants start service strong. Discover new restaurants! Browse nearby restaurants to discover a hidden gem in your own backyard or lock in top-rated restaurants you’ve always wanted to try. Craving a particular meal?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: First Table at 4.9 against Pure Pizza's 4.3. First Table also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (101 vs 3). Pure Pizza's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
