Harrow Hollywood Pizza — Restaurant in London

So... I've been going here for years!

AND; (*They didn't 'pay me', to say any of this, Nor... Am I 'affiliated', with them, in any way... It's important I say this, because:

I'm 'spilling-all-the-tea', here!... So here goes, with an honest review...

(*I was also born in Harrow, and have seen, '1st-hand', just how 'down-hill' everything has gotten, especially here in South Harrow), it's literally a 'slum' town now...

Anywayz... There's still some 'Gems' in Harrow, and THIS Pizza Place (and Chicken Shop) is ONE of them!

I've had some good experiences, and some bad, (but not always the restaurant/staff's fault), So... I'll do my best to explain the 'ecosystem' here...

Also, I spent some time in America/USA/New York, so I KNOW what good pizza & fried chicken really is, (and I can honestly say)... The pizza's here, are some of the best you'll ever have, and I've had in London/UK,

but... In my experience...

The Pizza's here are absolutely delicious, ONLY IF...

You don't go on a Wednesday (*Often their busiest time ,due to a special: "Any Pizza, Any Size" offer), etc. Which, TBH, is just £1 less for an Extra Large Pizza any other day, so... Really not worth the stress of going-in on a Wednesday, for sure!

Also... It helps IF... You're not rude or abusive (*like many customers I've personally witnessed) & actually treat the staff with some courtesy & respect, like human beings!

You know exactly what you want, and can 'articulate it', clearly, to a member of staff, (either over-the-phone, or in-person).

IE: If you don't want your pizza "burnt to a crisp" THEN... for God's sake = TELL THEM! aka: Say the words: "Please don't burn my pizza, i want it CHEESY! and not too well done, please", (and my pizza's are always EXCELLENT)!

Like other posters have said here, if you do go on a Wednesday when they have their "Any Pizza, Any Size" Offer for just £1-off an: Xtra Large Pizza (@ around: midday/evening), the staff are, of-course: 'SLAMMED' with an insane amount of orders (*and they do just "churn" them out quickly), and therefore; quality is severely affected! So... Maybe don't go on, a Wednesday night?

Yes... For the love of God, if you want your pizza to be nice, don't go on a Wednesday (when the whole of South Harrow 'descends' upon this little shop). Exercise some common sense, and your Pizza's will be delicious! (Like mine!)

FINALLY: It's a family business, and it doesn't hurt to tip them sometimes, (*if you can afford-to). Most of the staff here work insanely long hours, and on minimum wage, so a little respect goes a long way with this crew.

Yes, it's a business... Yes, they're 'supposed-to' provide a good service, in exchange-for: cold. hard. cash. However... They're also human.

If you get the above criteria right, you can expect:

-piping hot pizzas! -marbled to perfection! -gorgeous 'cheesy' pizza's that = 'melt-in-the-mouth' -And... a free pot of yummy garlic dip, with every pizza! -(In my experience they always use quality ingredients, have the softest/freshest dough, and the best quality cheeses)!

Tip: Pay £1 extra for some xtra cheese, and ask them not to brown the pizza too much, IE: (i just say = "Can i have it 'CHEESY' please!", and... Welcome to PIZZA BLISS! = You're Welcome! = (I always go-for Xtra Large - (15 inch), thin crust, and with £1 extra cheese).

**My pictures are of a 'Tandoori Special' pizza, thin crust, and... i paid £1 extra, for extra cheese aswell! YUM!!! I asked them not to brown my pizza too much and i like it 'cheezy'!

My advice... Meet these guys 'halfway', (with a little dignity & respect), and... welcome to pizza HEAVEN! (People Skills)!

Hope my review was helpful!

A V....

Ordered three pizzas and specifically requested the smallest one to have NO peppers or chilli’s for my mum who has a health condition. They added a bucket load of spice in that specific pizza, didn’t even try to make another pizza once they realised their mistake in the shop. I called up to complain and then finally they did offer to make another for no charge but I would have to collect it and they can’t have someone deliver it as the drivers are busy? Why should I waste my petrol and time for something that was your fault ? YOU SHOULD deliver to me as it’s YOUR mistake.

Please understand that you can’t just make what you want as you please. I requested non spicy as my mum has a health condition and can’t eat spice. Food allergies are dangerous and if you as a food business can’t rectify your mistake properly for your customers that’s...

Always have such good experience here staff are really nice and friendly very welcoming . Today i had gone in to get food . The guy serving had told me 10-15 mins for my food after 15-20 mins i had asked him how long as i had a bus to catch. He had a bad attitude ‘saying sit back and watch ‘ ‘i told you the time’ . When asking for the time beforehand i had asked him how long due to me catching a bus . Honestly for a customer who is so often visiting them and supporting their business this is outrageous.

Furthermore , i had gotten pizza with them before this and pizza had come with a few pieces of chicken and more vegetables even though i had ordered a chicken pizza (should have included chicken and some...
