Uncooked pizza. Ham half cooked and looked like a bad tan line. Chips uncooked and drier than the Sahara desert. Middle of the pizza was colder than Ireland in 2010s winter. Had to cook at home in the oven to… make it edible. Refused to offer us a complimentary pizza on our next visit. £15 to cook my own takeaway😂😂 It goes without saying we won’t be back lol

I don't usually post reviews especially bad ones but this was horrible.The chicken boxes are usually good enough in Paolos in town but this was Hatmore. First had to wait an eternity for them to answer the phone. Raw chips...threw it in the bin. How do people not know how to cook chips. Maybe there's something wrong with the thermostat. But it's not the first time this has happened in this branch. It's a pity should be much better. I think the owner employs people he knows instead of employing people who can cook. Dire

Absolutely shocking! Ordered at half 5 cannot get through when I do I get told the delivery is out and all… another half an hour of waiting message the page and the response was “I can’t help you,” “are you sure your order went through” brilliant way to solve an issue … won’t be ordering again!!

Ask for garlic Mayo (at the side) and you’ll get garlic Mayo, kebab sauce and ketchup on your pizza.
