Customer Review Summary

Pizza is the recurring draw, described as thin and tasty with a distinct base sauce, though one reviewer wanted more cheese and toppings for the price. Fries and the mixed kebab also get praise as above average, while the fried chicken was called old and dry with no sauces. One recent reviewer felt a vegetarian pizza had gone thin and oily compared to how it used to be.

    “Had a vegetarian spicey after a few years .pizza was thin base not the regular chunker and it was just covered in cheese and oozing oil everywhere. I could count the veg on each slice . Nit the same as before and definetly not the same as it was in the 90s. Sad times”

    “This place is a legend for all the 1990's people who have been drinking down Derby and want a pizza to finish the night. Fast forward 30 years and the pizzas are still one of the best in Derby 👍 …”

    “I've tried the mixed kebab, chicken and fries, fries and beef burgers. The beef burgers are not bad. They have a really nostalgic flavour to them which I enjoy. The fries are pretty good, crispy and salted with vinegar. The kebab is very good, definitely above average and tasty. I hated the fried chicken in the chicken and fries though. It tasted old. And no sauces included which leaves it dry... Overall, some good options. Of course the pizzas are what people rave about the most so I intend to try them at some point. 3. I tried the mexican way pizza with added jalapenos and it was decent, not the best pizza in derby but definitely not below average. It taste good and was cheesy and a good price.”

    “Nice staff beautiful pizza was told to try them but this place pizza thin and very tasty could have put more cheese and toppings on for paying £8.90 for a 11 inch on though! Otherwise so tasty! I think it’s the best pizza I av ever eaten their base sauce is different to other places it is very nice👍🏻💯 …”
