The food is halal friendly.

Customer Review Summary
The criticism is substantial. One reviewer found the bbq parmo chicken so thin it was hard to lift on a fork, with a pizza base that tasted pre-bought and sauce like tomato paste from a tube. Another found the chips undercooked, the bolognese parmo short on chips and salad with no sauce, and the garlic sauce pots not filled all the way. One diner got no cutlery or tissues. A long-time customer says quality has dropped and that when an order went wrong, staff were dismissive, offered a generic apology and put the phone down.

“I’ve used Papa's for ages and they honestly used to be in my top 5 takeaways in Boro. Sadly the quality has gone downhill massively recently. They’ve gone from the top to easily being one of the worst. The customer service is as shocking as the food. When they mess up an order, they are proper dismissive and just try to shift the blame. They won't do a single thing to sort it out apart from giving a generic "sorry about that" and putting the phone down on you. Absolute zero accountability and zero professionalism. There's more enthusiasm from the goats/cows I have in my village back home. I’ve never known a shop be so stingy and tight over their food and attitude. They clearly don't care about loyal customers anymore, all they care about is saving their little pennies. Won't be ordering again. Save your money and go somewhere else.”

“It's cash-only service which doesn't go well with most customers because some of us don't carry cash around”

“Hands down the best pizza place around. You can tell straight away it’s a family run business, friendly service, great atmosphere, and real care put into the food. The pizzas are always fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavour. Consistent quality every time and great value for money. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves proper pizza.”
