Quick info
About The Red Pizza Company
On Hotwell Rd in Bristol, The Red Pizza Company is a pizza takeout preparing each pie to order in an on-site oven rather than from a pre-made base. Both regular and thin crust options are available, and chicken wings round out the menu alongside the pizzas. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with phone orders given priority, so those collecting in person can face delays at busy times. Delivery is offered too, though it can run past an hour and sometimes beyond ninety minutes when things are busy. The kitchen's approach favors fresh preparation over speed, and customers picking up or ordering delivery should plan around the potential wait.

Customer Review Summary
Pizza quality draws consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling it the best pizza they've had and pointing to the chicken wings as a standout alongside it. Close behind, several diners favor collection over delivery, which draws recurring complaints: long delays, a forgotten item that took a second wait to correct, and one order placed through Uber Eats that never showed up despite being told it was already in the oven. In person pickup isn't spared either, with one customer waiting a long stretch for a small order while staff blamed other orders despite appearing idle. The crust also splits opinion, with one reviewer expecting a regular crust and finding it as thin as a crepe, and another calling the dough merely average. A single reviewer describes a severe stomach illness after eating here, lasting well into the next day, though this account stands apart from the rest. Amid it all, one delivery driver is remembered for waiting outside rather than leave a pizza to go cold before a customer got home.

“Pizza arrived hot.. thank you. Other than that pizzas are bang average and the dough isn't great.”

“A little bit disappointing, waited 25+ minutes for an in person small pizza order due to orders coming in over the phone. This is frustrating as there is definitely something wrong with the process if in person orders are relegated. Shame.”

“Our favorite pizzeria in Bristol. We always order there as these guys ALWAYS deliver hot meal - not matter of traffic - always hot and delicious. Last time we didn't make to home on time before delivery person was there. As this was Saturday I asked driver to leave pizza near to doors. 2 minutes later driver called me and said: "listen - your pizza will be cold if I will leave it like this, I'll wait for you" - absolute legend. Strongly recommend!”
