Halwani's Pizza & Stromboli - Hilliard Location — Restaurant in Columbus

Edit: Owner had reached out to me and offered a free replacement. I did not get a chance to take him up on his offer as this location is a little far from me. Just wanted to adjust my review a little for their attempt to resolve my bad experience.

Previous post: Had a very poor experience on 9/14 ordering a chicken tandoori pizza. Should’ve checked the pizza before driving home. Pizza was very over done, dare I say burnt. I live about 30 minutes from this location so very inconvenient to go back and get a replacement.

I would have much preferred receiving a call that they accidentally overdid the pizza and would need some time to make a new one. Instead the employee gave me this one hoping I wouldn’t complain. First time ordering from this location. Never had such an issue at the...

Ordered a pizza and stromboli and dessert. Both pizza and stromboli tasted good when hot, and so-so when cold .

Wanted to try a new place, and Halwani's turned out to be such a good choice. We ordered pepperoni pizza and the cheesy garlic bread. 10/10 for both. Generous on the cheese, and both were flavorful without being overwhelming. Because this was a new place for us, we went super simple with the menu choices, but we'll likely come back for some of the more creative pies/stromboli on the menu. They have a small loyalty program, which is a nice addition, since we'd likely shop there again anyway, but now we're rewarded for being return customers. Always a plus. Small shop, but...
