About The Pizza Man
On Victoria Ave in the Southchurch area of Southend On Sea, The Pizza Man is a pizza delivery business based at number 345. Oversized pizzas are the focus of the menu, and a 19" pepperoni is one example of that scale. Anyone who wants more than the pizza alone can order dips or pots of sauce alongside it. The business works on a walk-in basis, so there is no booking to arrange before an order.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply on The Pizza Man, and the large pizzas draw the praise. Happier customers describe a huge pizza that arrived piping hot, with a light dough, generous toppings in good proportion and a fair amount of cheese. One notes the dough went crispy when reheated. Others call the pizzas better than the big chains, and one names it the best halal pizza in Southend. One reviewer suggests ordering through the website rather than delivery apps, and another wants a second pot of sauce. The complaints come mostly from longtime customers who say quality has slipped. They describe deliveries arriving late and cold, drivers handing food over with no bag, and phone staff who hung up mid-sentence or sent them to Just Eat for a refund. One pizza order arrived with toppings detached and slices separated, another was missing paid-for dips, and another brought twisted potatoes instead of curly fries. One reviewer alleges the staff were dirty. Another was refused a refund on a 19 inch pepperoni pizza that never arrived, and had the phone put down on them.

“Quality and customer service is plummeting with these guys. Used to be amazing now they don’t care. Delivery guy was late annd called them up. Bloke on the phone made me feel I was annoying and zero apology given. They raced around the store asking about the delivery and no where to be located at the store. Said they would refund it. Turned up 30 minutes late. No idea what was going on. At this point. Pizza was cold. I sent him away. I called them back up for feedback and Guy in the phone literally couldn’t care. Then told me I have to call just eat for refund. Was like we don’t care. Been a loyal supporter for years. Lost your game boys. Will never use you again. Glory days are over. Hang your heads in shame. Absolute Disgrace. Wishing you all the worst. You deserve it with that attitude. How not to run a business. Bye forever.”

“I've been ordering from here for many years, it's steadily gotten worse. ordered this evening, and for the 2nd order in a row the food arrived both late and cold, different delivery guys each time both handed it to me with no bag in sight and ran away, because they knew they were delivering stone cold food. to make it worse tonight the dips I paid for were not delivered, no word from the driver about this, another reason why he ran away. this place seems to be involved in a race to the bottom, sadly they are winning. they may be cheap but there's a reason why, they don't care. if you want a nice take away to treat yourself spend your money somewhere else.”
