Customer Review Summary
Delivery speed dominates the complaints here, with several reviewers describing waits stretching toward two hours and food arriving cold, dry, or soggy by the time it lands. Close behind is inconsistent cooking, with one diner reporting a raw, slimy base under missing toppings and another describing uncooked kebab meat and "cardboard" chips. Order accuracy is another recurring issue, with wrong dips, missing garlic dip, and a mixed-up half-and-half pizza among the mistakes cited, and a few callers describe unhelpful or dismissive phone staff when trying to sort things out. One reviewer separately reports finding a hair embedded in the cheese on a reheated pizza. Against this, praise does surface: reviewers single out the garlic dip and chicken pizza as genuinely good, and one describes the chilli sauce as some of the best they've tasted, delivered by a driver they called friendly and polite. No refunds, replacements, or resolutions are mentioned in the negative accounts.

“Ordered my meal tonight and it didn't have in what I ordered, the wrong dips, parmesan was rank, vert disappointing. The female who took my order didn't listen. By the time the delivery driver rang me saying he couldn't find my house to drop off the garlic dips, the meal was over with and most of it binned. I had a very disappointed child.”
