Wedges arrived cold. The new shape is awful. The old style wedges were better.
The jalapeno peppers arrives cold as well.
The BBQ wings arrived hot/warm.
Ordered piri piri chicken poppers but they taste like tandoori.
Had to reheat most of the food in the oven.
I was one of 10 people who in the space of 30 mins came in to ask why their pizza delivery was more than 2 hours late. They, like us, had been sitting at home stuck, at 9pm+, hungry, having ordered at 7pm or earlier, and couldn't get through to phones that weren't being answered (I rang a total of 20 times before giving up - 8 dialled through only to go unanswered).
Bear in mind, having paid, and with a delivery in the system, it's not possible to then go get something else; you have to literally go down to the store to find out what is up — fighting among the scrum of disgruntled, hungry customers, and the delivery drivers who are being told to wait 30 mins or more for timed deliveries.
This now being the second time there've been issues in just over a week; the last time, the same 2 hour delay - no pizza, only to find out my order had been cancelled, eating at 10pm, rather than 8, having ordered around 6.30pm. At least that time we were able to eventually get through by phone.
At the store tonight, it was chaos; no pizzas being prepared, pages of undelivered pizzas and far too few people who knew what they were doing (it seemed only two were competent or spoke English).
Besides that, it was honestly unsafe, for the staff and customers; 10+ workers in there, crammed in not wearing masks, another 10 customers crammed into a small box all trying to get an answer as to what the hell has gone wrong with this shop - and from 8.20pm to around 9.10pm it didn't change. I think I saw no more than 10 pizzas prepared during that time.
It's just pure greed on the part of the management; they shouldn't be taking orders when they're clearly not able to deliver on them all, and they're not able to keep their staff or customers safe.
If it wasn't for the privacy of the other customers, I'd have taken photos and sent them to the Council too — as others have said tonight in reviews, if they can't take the orders, they should turn the bookings offline; they continued to take pizza orders long after they were overwhelmed.
It took 20 minutes just to get to talk to someone when we got there. 10 mins, they said. 20 later, them having agreed to make us pizzas for takeaway, it was then delivered to our house without us knowing, while we were standing there waiting, so we then had to race home — and then the order was wrong.
Total joke of a takeaway - never seen anything like it. I wouldn't bother taking your chance; there are plenty of other, better managed places in Walton and you won't get a pizza sprayed with 10 different workers' spittle.
We ordered here as a treat for our son, and we were disgusted with the quality of the food.
I would be generous in saying the food arrived warm, the pizzas were far from flavoursome, the potato tots with six cheese blend arrived stone cold and with little or no little cheese on. The cinnamon scrolls were revolting and made with pizza dough rather than pastry so they were very stodgy.
Back to using our preferred supplier for us im afraid, dont understand how a company this large can charge so much for less than avearge pizza.
Please take note of the poor reviews as it will save you the dissapointment and money in the long run and give someone like Topps Pizza the custom.
