Ahhh, Monday nights. Where previously it was the time to slump into the sofa after a hard day's work, with the rest of the week ahead, now it's filled with excitement. Dripping with tension. Alight with atmosphere and anticipation. Why? For two reasons.
One: Because it's 'family night' or, as some of my fellow Yelpers will know, Game of Thrones night. Yes -- it's back, and it's already gotten ridiculously good. Don't worry, there are no spoilers here, but all I can say is that Monday nights are now worth getting excited about.
Two: Because it's the night that I order myself a ridiculous pizza for tea. And that pizza shall now, and always, come from Pizza House Co.
We always watch GoT at my friends' house, because they have Sky. As such, I was in need of a new place to grab something easy to shove into my mouth whilst balking at Joffre and swooning over Daenerys. (Who isn't in love with that amazing blond hair? She also has DRAGONS!) A swift look at Just Eat revealed these guys, who are conveniently about 30 paces from my friends' flat, serve up exactly what I need. They're so close, in fact, that the last time I ordered the delivery guy laughed at me for not collecting. (No time to explain to him about GoT -- things were kicking off.)
I'd foolishly assumed that, given the luck of the proximity, the pizza would be standard. Not so! They use actual, real mozzarella. (So far as my tastebuds can determine.) This makes each slice an immediate pleasure. They also allow you to make your own, at reasonable cost, so there's no need to miss out on those onions you always enjoy atop your pie. (FYI, mushroom, pepperoni and onion is a winning combo.) Thin crust is great -- not too bready, nicely crispy, crusts are edible, pizza has the perfect amount of grease and sauce, and the toppings are not cheap or lame. It's not exactly gourmet, but it is DEFINITELY what you want of a takeaway.
The chips are simple and not amazing. But who cares? Pizza. Maybe one day I'll stray from my now-standard order. I doubt it. I may as well pre-order the next 10 weeks or so, too. Bring on Mondays, bring on GoT, and bring on Pizza House Co. The perfect combination!
I have been going to this pizza place for over a year now and I have never been disappointed. The cheesy garlic bread is to die for.
Definitely recommend this pizza place over Dominos Pizza.
