"Absolutely perfect the crust the pillowy dough and the pepperoni is the kind they use that shrinks to small dishes of flavor that is as crispy as it is delicious they take the pepperoni pizza to another level shaking everyone ear, thank you."
"It was decent, but if you're going to charge $35+ for a 14" pie (the "large") I'd expect it to be close to changing my life in terms of quality. This wasn't remotely near that. For context, most frozen pizzas are 14" and cost under $10. Better pizza joints in the area (e.g. Slice House) are $34 for a 20" pepperoni. This wasn't bad in flavor/texture by any means, but it's a terrible value for the price. Won't be going back and hard to recommend for that reason."

"The spicy potato soft taco is filling with a nice sharpness that helps take the hangry edge off. The cheesy roll up is like an easy, smaller quesadilla but smoother. Chips and nacho cheese sauce (I mix two packets of hot sauce in the cheese to give it a nice kick) are oddly soothing and a fun food"
"I'm in town for the week and ordered twice now and both times have been hot, fresh, flavorful, and completely accurate. I threw them a curve ball and requested two Double Stacked Taco with slightly different customizations and they nailed it. S tier Taco Bell."

"Not a lot of places open late. Midnight. Ordered a supreme pizza and wanted to try something different and ordered a small curry chicken masala. Both tasted good. Lots of toppings with a Good crust. The small was only $15.99 and would be enough two peoplei think. The medium is enough for 2-3 people. If they arent piggies. Came with a good red crushed pepper and cheese. The Door Dasher was polite too. "
"The Butter Chicken Pizza is FIRE!!! Based on the $8 coupon I had, this is an amazing deal (size/flavor ratio). If you're a fan of Round Table Crust, this is almost a carbon copy, which to me, is amazing. The chicken is spicy (seems to be a similar sauce to the Garlic Chili Sambal) which is mild to me, but could be a hazard for the weak. Add the fresh cilantro, red onion, tomatoes and this pie really POPS!!! I would definitely this again, especially with a coupon. Would be great with a cucumber raita. :)"

"Exceptional Service and Delicious Pizza! I recently had the pleasure of ordering from Fast Pizza Delivery, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. This restaurant truly lives up to its name by delivering not only pizzas but also exceptional service. From the moment I placed my order, the staff displayed remarkable professionalism and friendliness. They took note of my specific preferences and ensured that my pizza would be made to my liking. The ordering process was seamless and efficient, leaving me impressed with their attention to detail. When the pizza arrived, it exceeded all expectations. The crust was perfectly crispy, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. Each bite was a delight, and I found myself savoring every mouthful. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and it was clear that the chefs took pride in their craft. What truly sets Fast Pizza Delivery apart is their punctuality. Despite the busy evening, my order arrived right on time. The delivery person was courteous and greeted me with a warm smile. It's refreshing to receive such prompt and reliable service. I can't stress enough how satisfied I am with my experience at Fast Pizza Delivery. They not only delivered a delicious pizza but also delivered on their promise of excellent customer service. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving a mouthwatering pizza with a side of top-notch service. Kudos to the entire team at Fast Pizza Delivery for their dedication and commitment to providing a remarkable dining experience. I will definitely be a returning customer, eager to enjoy their delicious pizzas again and again."
"So disgusting. The cheese gets a rubber texture as it cools and the sauce is on the sweet and bitter side. I would never order pizza from this place again. I'd also like to note that I ordered a "medium" but upgraded to a "large" (going from a $17 pizza to a $30 pizza) and they made it a medium. The mozzarella sticks were stale and cold (the cheese was literally as hard as string cheese). Im so disappointed in the quality of the food, given all the good reviews I read prior to ordering. "

"The Cheesy Bites Bundle is an inventive reimagining of the classic pizza experience, a composition that merges structural innovation with flavor diversity. The 28 cheesy bites that encircle the pizza form an architectural marvel each bite represents an individual enclave of molten cheese, delicately housed within a golden crust. This serves as an interactive prelude to the central narrative: eight slices of pizza that provide a harmonious blend of crust, sauce, and toppings. The assortment of dipping options pepperoni ranch, chipotle ranch, and marinara is not merely a gratuitous addition but a considered enhancement, each dip lending its own distinct personality. The pepperoni ranch delivers an umami richness punctuated by the familiar allure of cured meat. The chipotle ranch introduces a smoky heat that resonates with the adventurous palate, while the marinara robust and tangy remains a stalwart classic. This creation transcends the boundaries of traditional pizza, inviting the consumer into a participatory culinary experience. It is a celebration of flavor, texture, and ingenuity that exemplifies Pizza Hut's commitment to accessible indulgence. "
"Was almost midnight. A friend of mine in another town ordered stuffed crust where they live while we were on the phone so they got me craving one. The cheesy crust was the only exciting part of the pizza. The rest was like cardboard. Most pizzas whether pick up/delivery still arrive in good condition. I couldn't eat more than one slice. Not to worry, I'll try again another time."

"For the price, there are better options. Semi tasteless, cut into small squares which made it so the "slices" had very little toppings on them, and the thin crust was basically no crust. Delivery time for a 2mile drive was just over 45 minutes, bringing the total wait to just over an hour."

"Their pizza is best in the area. I've had DIY 14" Chicago Cracker- Thin and their ny style, as well as Detroit style. You cannot lose. The ingredients are top notch, preparation is perfect. Crust is amazing. And best compliment I can pay it: legitimately tastes like NYC pizza."
"Another DIY Sicilian for the fam! It was high fives around the table tonight and thats before we opened the box... as usual the boys at SOH created another masterpiece, so grateful. Its literally the most flavorful pizza due to its fresh ingredients! The basil is fresh and placed on the pie after baking which amplifies every bite. The crust is airy and light, but thick! I recommend the addition of the ricotta when making your selection give it a try... the sauce is light and refreshing definitely not overwhelming or acidic... I'm telling you if you want a great pizza you got to give this place a try. I know it's a $70 DoorDash but you get what you pay for and in this case it's worth every penny go get you some...I've never met anyone at SOH but when I do, I'm gonna bring them some brewski's. Peace"

"The deep dishes had close to zero sauce, and barely any cheese. I basically ate bread with cheese on top. There were a few pepperoni slices, but they were mostly scattered around in the box. Crazy Bread had zero parmesan cheese on the bread and were packed like sardines in a parchment. The only cheese was, ironically, on top of the paper, and it was a few flecks on top. "

"The Santa Monica was fantastic especially paired with the creamy Chipotle sauce, but the Pumpkin Cheesecake was disappointing in that it was far too much for a small prepackaged slice from Cheesecake Factory. It was good, but absolutely not worth the money. Wouldve been 5 stars if it wasnt for the cheesecake being such a letdown."
