Estimated delivery was 21:35pm. Understandable for a Friday evening.
After it got to 22:00 I tried to call the restaurant. A mobile number is on website, but all you get is a message that says “mail box full, try again later” and it hangs up.
I used just eat to ask for a call back which says is no more than 5 minutes. This was 22:05pm.
It got to 22:40 and I had to ask somebody who lived near by to pop in and check for me where the order was. I asked if they could get the restaurant to call me. They refused to call me.
The person I asked to go check my order, handed over their own mobile so I could speak to them. All I had was “it was the new guy and we are busy”. I understand it gets busy but I am then told the delivery driver has left and they can’t deliver my order so I’ve had to get someone to pick my order up over 2 hours after I placed it. I asked what happens with my delivery charge as I’m having it picked up and they have given me a bottle of Pepsi which costs half of the delivery charge.
Absolutely appalling service. 23:00pm and I’m about to get my order and eat.
Hotbox FASTFOOD? Far from that.
Unfortunately for us, it's the only halal pizza take-away in the area so we are somewhat limited in options, so we have let it slide in the past.
Today I placed the order specifically for 8.40 as we were expecting guests. At 8.50 i was told by the manager that the pizza was in the oven and would be with me no later than 9.15. At 9.25 i left my house in order to collect, only to be told it had just left, yet was delivered a full hour late at 9.40.
Asked for a full refund in store, only to be fobbed off returning home to a barely luke-warm pizza.
I don't often write negative reviews but today was the last straw and I'd rather drive 20 minutes than endure such a amateur delivery service.
Absolutely shocking second time I have ordered from them and second time it was late and completely wrong order and they don’t even have a phone for you to contact them both times had to drive down to replace there food to be met with clueless workers that all stand and stare at each other speak amongst them selves and just blame the driver and tell you to contact just eat
Joke of a service defo won’t be back stick with pizza palace from now on
