I ordered a pizza from here over a year ago and it was an absolute disgrace, I meant to leave a review then but never got round to it. Recently my workplace ordered a bunch of pizzas from here and what I received and they were charged for was beyond a joke. So I had to come on and review because the place should be ashamed of themselves.
My first pizza I ordered (full price) was vegan cheese-less pizza, as I donāt even like vegan cheese. I paid for the toppings mushroom, pepper, onion & spinach. The pizza arrived burnt, the tomato paste was not only scarce - considering I had no cheese so pizza companies usually use more paste to keep the pizza juicy - the paste was completely dried up. The toppings were even worse. Spinach (what was there of it) was shrivelled and burnt to a crisp, barely any green showing. More black than green. And I had, no joke or exaggeration here, literally ONE TEENY TINY slice of mushroom and pepper per pizza triangle. One triangle didnāt even get a mushroom. It was pathetic. Totally out of order to be so stingy on any pizza but let along a full price one that you BURNT.
How they thought delivering that would be acceptable or appetising I donāt know. I wish Iād stuck to my trusty favourites Pizza express and Papa Johns but someone had told me the pizzas here were really nice. I have since spoken to many people who agree with me that they are poor and overpriced.
Just recently, my workplace did a huge pizza order from here for the office. I asked in advance for them to supply one vegan pizza with no cheese and your standard veggie toppings - mushroom, onion, pepper. Sure it was rubbish last time but this time it was free soooo!
At first they didnāt even send the pizza. What turned up was just a bunch of vegan margaritas. The lady then called to say they hadnāt sent the one veggie pizza with no cheese. She brought it to my desk, and to say that this was absolutely despicable that a restaurant could even send that out claiming it is a āpizzaā let along CHARGE for it is, believe me, an understatement. I wish I had taken pictures of both but I was just so annoyed it went straight in the bin.
What turned up was literally pizza bread and dried on tomato paste. It was disgusting. How can you even call that a pizza?! It is bread and tomato paste! Like how can you work in a pizza restaurant and not understand you work around VEGETABLES that are totally acceptable on a vegan pizza. I mean itās in the name, VEGETABLES, right?!
Honestly disgraceful, they should be ashamed of themselves, especially with the likes of Pizza Express etc now offering such incredible vegan ranges where they donāt just include TONS of (you guessed it) VEGETABLES (and arenāt stingy with them in the slightest) but they also have mock meats and tons of flavour and juices added even without cheese.
I really wasnāt asking for much from this place. But if youāre capable of putting a load of meat toppings on for meat eaters pizzas. Then it surely canāt be that difficult to add a load of veggies to a vegan pizza.
Moral of the story. Stick to the well known pizza restaurants and donāt buy here. Itās...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHello, I have been eating pizza in many places but this one is unique! Always perfectly cooked, simple but high quality ingredients. The dough is delicious, you will never have any stomach problems like after other, well advertised pizzas(especially the one witch starts with d)... Iām a chef witch 15 years of experience, really fussy and grumpy š and seriously I can say only positive thinks about this pizza place. The only think witch is missing in the menu is tomatoes as a pizza ingredient, thatās it. I assume that itās because of the fact that there is a delicious tomato sous on the bottom. The Queen Margarita is almost addictivešThis is a real Mediterranean experience, not cheap american style pizza for stoners. If I could advise the owners, it would be the production of homemade garlic sous because it goes perfectly with this pizzaš. In Fireaway pizza you can also buy Italian fuzzy drinks witch have 22% of juice inside,from Bibite Polara Company(Sicily). The one witch bloody orange is so good that I started to buy it in big amounts from Italian seller. Side portions are decent, you will never complain about that. Delivery is always on time, they are really well organised. I ordered at least 10 times and it was never late. Many thanks for owners, keep doing what you are doing becouse in my opinion nobody in Basingstoke can compete witch you!

Ā Ā Ā Read moreI am writing this on top of my below review: Owner called me last week and apologised for what happened. Thanks a lot for your call and understanding the concern. I really appreciate it. She also gave me a good deal. I ordered a customised pizza yesterday and that was one of the best pizza I ever had in my life. Love it Thanks a lot Remya and Guru . Normally I used to have 3/4 slices but yesterday my wife was yelling on me for leaving 1 piece to her hahaha. I would wish to order the same pizza again and again..
The taste of pizza is good. However I had a very bad experience. On 16Jan I have ordered a customised pizza and what they delivered is a different one from what I have ordered. I then called them up and informed the same , they have offered me a deal In my next order. I have called them again today for ordering a pizza and asked them about the deal. They responded saying there is no deals for me. I have explained the person who answered the call everything but they said they canāt find anything in the system. I regret now, I should have opted for a replacement pizza instead of a deal. And also sad that we are going to miss...
