Quick info
About Paolos Pizzas
On Waterloo St in Londonderry, Paolos Pizzas is a pizza takeaway at number 50 that pairs its pizzas with a wider fast-food menu. The pizzas come with plenty of toppings, and the Quattro Formaggio is one of the options. Burgers sit alongside them, including chilli burgers, and a chicken box covers the non-pizza orders. The takeaway runs its own delivery drivers rather than relying on an outside service. The phone line gets busy on weekends, so getting through can take a few tries. It is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
The pizza divides reviewers more than anything else. Fans praise the Quattro Formaggio, a chicken box and loads of toppings, and one says the pizza is still the same as in childhood. The chilli burgers also get praise, and another reviewer calls the burger meat good and the fries okay. Critics describe a different pizza: a biscuity base, sauce that tasted straight from a tube, undercooked mushrooms, and a pizza so dry and short on cheese that one diner put the whole thing in the bin. The chips draw the harshest comments, called dry and tasteless by more than one reviewer, including one who otherwise liked the pizza. One reviewer describes the cleanliness of the place as poor, and another calls it smelly. One reviewer calls the staff great and the delivery drivers nice, though getting through by phone on busy weekends can be difficult. One late-night customer reports being charged twice for the same meal and getting no refund.
