against my better judgement and after the kids were hassling I weakened yesterday and ordered pizza to be delivered... I sat in the evening sunshine with a beer while dominoes took care of the kids dinner... or so I thought.. it finally arrived in darkness....the kids were nearly ready for bed I really do not understand how it can take over 1 hr and 10 minutes to make a lousy pizza stick it in a box and then deliver it 750m up the road so as it arrived luke warm in its sweaty cardboard box I contacted the store........... forget pizza making they first need to learn some customer service skill... its a franchised store and they don't give a hoot...  so my honest opinion is avoid at all costs, should have used GX pizza shop either at home or herbies instead... ------------- need a stella and i need one now ! |

| We've only used them once in an emergency and some of the items they sent were not what we'd ordered. We called and, without any apology, they said they'd send replacements for the items that were wrong in 40 to 60 mins or so but wouldn't repeat the whole order, which meant the food would either get cold or dry out in the oven waiting for the replacement bits. We had no choice but to eat what they'd sent. We exercised our choice never to use them again though. |

Pizza should only be eaten in Italy and then only a slice. I recently did 3 hours of deliveries for another local establishment when my son( who was scheduled to deliver) was unwell. I was assisted by my daughter. What a nightmare!! Even with a sat nav, finding certain houses was extremely difficult, dangerous and stressfull. So many properties have numbers you can hardly see and those with just names......   ........God I would hate to be a postman. |

Never had a problem with dominos, but I always collect, it's quicker. ------------- Is back in the game! :) |

I don't rate Dominos. Used to be good but now are so expensive, it's hard to justify paying so much for what they provide. I've used the Italian a few times which is reasonably good. Pizza Express is useful if they have a deal on Haven't yet tried the others in GX. |

I really like @home pizza in GX but unfortunately my wife is now on a wheat free diet and it seems a bit mean to eat one in front of her :( |

Baggles, Baggles, Baggles @home in GX is the only place to use... they deliver to CSP too. Great choice and sizes, still comes in a box, but normally within 1 min of leaving the oven. You can do half and half too if stuck for choice. Personal fav is the Bang Bang on one half and Ay Caramel on the other in 18 inch  ------------- www.chalfontchillies.co.uk Twitter: @chalfontchillie Facebook: chalfontchillies Often to be seen walking his Staffie Cross and two Chihuahuas so please say hello |

Yay everyone! I'm in Loudwater now! out of desperation I called in on Bucks Pizza in Castle street High Wycombe a couple of nights ago. As soon as I entered I knew it was gonna be a mistake. There was a beetle stood in line behind me but he got tired of waiting so walked round me for a free scoff... of my scabby pizza! When it arrived the nice Asian man over emphasised that he had made it just for me and I would really enjoy it. That was more than enough for me, I paid for it and promptly placed it in the rubbish bin direrctly outside the cess pit! I had a slice of toast when I got home. Its good to be back in the land of impatient drivers and badly unmade 'A' roads ------------- Perveyor of crap knob jokes since 2007. |
