Customer Review Summary
Pizza is the item reviewers mention most often at Speedy Pepper, though experiences vary sharply. Several describe it arriving stone cold, one noting a large order of three pizzas and garlic bread arriving cold and cardboard-like, another saying the pizza had clearly been sitting since it was originally due. Close behind, a few praise the kebab as elite and single out the manager for friendly, even celebratory, service. Complaints recur around long delays, with two reviewers reporting waits near two hours and one saying calls went unanswered when seeking a refund. Missing items and phone problems also come up repeatedly, including an account of being hung up on and another describing curt treatment after a dispute over an added charge. One reviewer reports finding bones in a calzone that had taken two hours to arrive.
