Often thought the parade of shops opposite the craftsman could do with a pizza place

Takeaway pizza is dreadful but proper pizza is superb, if difficult to find.

I would say takeaway pizza is fine and proper pizza is much better, but then I absolutely love pizza. I am happy with a Goodfellas, or a Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, M&S, Asda, Tesco, whatever.

I just bloody love pizza!!!

Used vouchers today, but was still £55 for the 4 of us. No starters, no desserts, 2 for 1 offer.

That means unless there was lots of drink it was £27 per pizza!

Nope.

Couple of side orders. Drinks were all just soft drinks and only one each.

My two favourite foods are probably curry and pizza. Pizza from Dominos, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Pizza Express etc isn't proper pizza though.

Haven't had a Dominoes for ages now, went through a phase of always having them but not as fussed.

I prefer them from other pizza places, cheaper too. Failing that would just get them frozen, much cheaper and just as nice.

I like Pizza Express. I can't really do the takeaway pizzas these days, my stomach agrees with them less and I can never sleep properly. Getting proper old with things like that now.

Yep. Some of their pizzas are £14 each and there's nowt to them. Would expect something a bit more special than what I had, which was just a plain pizza with garlic oil, about 6 olives and then some rocket. Couldn't even notice the cheese.

I make my own. You take a slab of puffy naan bread, spread on a thin layer of pizza sauce then top with shredded cheese (I use a pre-packaged 4-cheese Mexican blend), then top with fresh tomato slices. Microwave for 5 minutes. Better than any pizza you can buy.
Another home-made favourite is pizza on a ciabatta roll. Cut the roll in half, fry the halves upside-down in butter, add pizza sauce and shredded cheese, microwave.

If they are £14 each that’s £28 for 4 pizzas on a 2 for 1 you must have overdosed on drinks and sides to spend £55!

2 for 1 was on the main courses only, not on the total bill.

Some of the soft drinks were expensive.

Ha!! Yep. Unlike our side orders, Grendel is giving me a good grilling.

I don't have the bill unfortunately. All I can remember was that my pizza was £14 and I think 2 of the others were more than £14. My daughter had concoction of sorts as her drink. It was quite a bit dearer than the others.

As with most things on here though, we're kind of getting away from the point.

One round of drinks (no alcohol), no starters, no desserts, 4 people, £55 after the 2 for 1 offer.

That meal most certainly wasn't worth £110!

I just think you’ve been over charged - I have been without an offer once and had 4 pizzas 1 side and 4 drinks and it was under £50

It was right, we checked it. They have put their prices up.

If I remember rightly the main courses worked out as just under £30. The starters came to about £9. That's then just about £15-£16 for the drinks.

It was right, but thanks for your concern.

We made comment when we went in that the prices have gone up.

Sounds ridiculous I suppose I haven’t been for a couple of years.

There’s some Mediterranean place in Kenilworth that does mega Pizza (not Zizzi)

Oh, and Thursday seems to be kebab night!

The lunch menu seems to offer steak and ale pie, but no pizzas!

Not sure it knows what it's supposed to be.

Incidentally, I had a macaroni cheese(!) pizza here: Welcome

Wasn't for me! And the place was a bit hipsterish but everyone else seemed to like it / rate it, so go by them, not me.

Does that mean a discount on their umpteen offers?

Don't think I've ever paid full price... thinking about it, for a chain pizza at all.
