About Bellissimo

Bellissimo is a pizza takeout at 31 Melbourne Pl in Sunderland, with a pizza menu and a kebab menu under one roof, so a single order can cover both. Pizzas are the main item, and the kebab side includes a mixed kebab with salad and a large kebab box. Chips and cheesy chips sit alongside them, and a 10" cheese garlic bread is on the menu for anyone adding a side. Chilli and garlic dips come with orders. Orders can be placed over the phone, and the business also has an app and an online menu.

Customer Review Summary

Pizza draws the most comment, with praise for a light, fluffy dough cooked perfectly and the right amount of toppings, and one reviewer calling the base the best in Sunderland. Close behind is the chicken kebab, described as full of flavour and not at all dry, while the Big Kahuna meal deal is called great value. The cheesy chips and the garlic also earn praise. The criticism is substantial, though. Several reviewers describe delivery running far longer than expected, one ringing three times before learning a card payment had failed, another told the kitchen was busy on an ordinary weeknight. Others fault the food itself: a paper thin base and cheese garlic bread, rubbery chicken, greasy peri peri chicken, burnt chips with green potato inside, and a vegetarian pizza topped with large chunks of uncooked-looking green pepper. One reviewer found a kebab box half empty, and another says the charge was higher than the menu and app. One regular notes the kebab dipped for a few weeks before recovering, and a reorder pushed to the front of the queue arrived in minutes.

    “Waited 2 hours for delivery, rang after 1 hour just to be told they were busy. On a random Wednesday? I have never had to wait that long for food delivery not even on bank holidays/ Christmas Eve. Absolute joke”

    “First and last time ordering from here. Having gone to the same pizza place for 15 years, we decided on a change and had Bellissimo recommended to us. We ordered over the phone and I'd already worked the price out from their menu and website, and had taken the 15% off that was advertised, however, the price was higher than I'd expected, but I didn't question it, as the menu states the 15% only applies to certain items. When my order arrived, I saw that I'd been charged £8 for a 10" cheese garlic bread and paid £6.80 after the 15% was deducted. I called up and they said prices were going up and they were updating menus, but the app price for a 10" cheese garlic bread is £4.80 and the online menu is £4.70. I can't understand how anyone can charge £8 for a 10" cheese garlic bread, that didn't have a lot of cheese or garlic on and was paper thin, so definitely not worth the price I paid. The pizza was OK, but the chicken was very chewy and rubbery and again the pizza base was paper thin. The cheesy chips were nice, with a lot of cheese and delivery was quick, but the prices are too high for what it is. I ordered the same at my previous pizza shop and got it for £5 cheaper, with a free pizza because I'd spent over £20, think I'll be staying where I know from now on.”
