One of the worst food experiences. Test less, horrible, disgusting, and pricey. We ordered a 10 inch Pizza he gave us a 7 inch, and insisted it’s a 10 inch one. Because I order a lot all the time, I know very well how does 10 inch looks like. The only thing was good in this place was a can of coke because it’s not his made. Stay hungry and avoid this place. It’s look like everything but not a pizza.

when it arrived we thought it looked fine, tasted fine, however when we started eating the wings they were raw in the centre, we have all woken up today with upset stomachs and nausea, the food was 45 minutes late. i will not be ordering from them again.

Not sure why so many people give this such bad reviews We’ve ordered from here a few times and always been good Can take a while to arrive but always been good (this is the reason the review is 4 not 5) Very large selection of food including pasta which the wife has had and said is really nice, unusual for a pizza / kebab shop, but hey if it’s good it’s good No complaints

All food was so soggy and undercooked and there was jalapeno bites and mozzarella bites all crammed in one box with a few stray soggy chips. I'm amazed these are aloud to serve food it was that bad.

Absolutely disgusting! I was served up a raw chicken burger, and kebab meats that was like eating stones. It made me very ill and I was vomiting. Even the thoughts of it now are making me sick. I brought the food back in after tasting it and I was told that I was wrong. Absolutely disgusting. The worst place I have ever been to for fast food.

ordered extra chicken on hawaiin pizza, tastied strange and left horrible fusty tasty in my mouth. Ordered apple pie for dessert, when taken out of cardboard box it had a chip stuck to it! Needless to say I didn't eat it. Rang the shop to complain but whoever was on the phone had such a strong accent I could not understand him even after asking him to repeat himself and speak slower. I was so fed up and still had a horrible taste in my mouth from pizza, I said I would report this on monday to the relevant agency. Awful, never again , will never recommend.

Ordered two deep pan pizzas last week. Working in Loughborough for 6 months, staying near to take away so would have spent a lot of money here. Pizzas dough was raw last week so being a clever blokeI thought I'd order a thin one. Two for one offer but I only wanted one as on my own. This week thin pizza was still raw, hardly any toppings when I complained rude bloke said all the toppings were under the cheese. I grabbed a fork and pulled off the cheese to reveal raw dough and no toppings. Rude bloke told me to get pizza somewhere else. Do not buy from here.

Me and the missus moved here a few months ago and came across this place by accident so thought we would give it a go. Every time the food is spot on! Usually I go for the burger meal and it’s top notch. I went for the Peri Peri Chicken Wrap tonight and they’ve only gone and smashed that too 👌Highly Recommended

We have ordered from here a number of times before and always ordered the pizza This time ordered all none pizza (Burgers chips kebab) and it was pretty poor Ordered large meat and chips, what arrived was a large chips with a couple of slivers of meat which was pretty over cooked. Chips were ok but all in all not good, it was all edible however have had far better from here and many other places in Loughborough. Very sorely disappointed

Any man, woman, or child that is keen for a phat meal need look no further. The size of the portions resembles that of Rich Piana or Ronnie Coleman’s bulking programme. 24/7 reliability and the service was gracious and wholesome. Dominic’s pizza chicken kebab cuisine brings joy to my life, and the lives of many others. God bless you Dominic, wherever you are.

Perhaps it is fortunate that I hadn't read the Trip Advisor reviews on this place, otherwise I would probably have avoided it. As it was, the fact that most other places had closed by ten thirty meant that we had little choice. We ordered a couple of pizzas to eat inside, and I have to say that they were pretty good. The bases were a bit thicker than I normally like, but they were fine, and the toppings were moist and very tasty. Service was good, the prices were most reasonable, and we enjoyed our meal. Can't say fairer than that.

Food was shocking to say the least. Ordered a large doner kebab but received what looked like a smaller portion than small. Food looked like they were what remained at the end of the night - not fresh and burnt. A very small portion of chips were also received despite ordering again a large portion. Salad was also almost non existent. Finally, the chicken burger was hard and cold. Overall, very disappointed. I will not be ordering from here again.

The order took nearly 3 hours to arrive despite quoted 45 minutes. The chicken was coated in a thick greasy paste where the oil had soaked into the skin and batter making that taste about as pleasant as a block of corn starch and fat sucked from Kim kardashian's upper thighs. The "so called" burger was equally disappointing. Cheap buns I can only assume we're sourced from the driest most tasteless parts of the planet, I wouldn't know where that is exactly but it must be comparable to the Sahara desert, or maybe the feeling you having in the back of your throats when you wake up after a heavy night out with double bouts of tonsillitis and and David Haye punching you in the neck. The burger was probably made of recycled cardboard, that is under the assumption that it's too difficult to get a hold of patty shaped asbestos. The chocolate fudge cake was ok, albeit because it was bought in and probably hadn't been exposed long enough to the rancid infestation of an amalgamation of cancer and gonorrhoea that resides within. To sum up, the best part of this meal was the start of the wait when I thought it might at least be on time, having paid £12 for this meal I would rather be given three types of HIV and diabetes than spend a further £12 to go through this obstacle course of disappointment, misery and potential new medical metabolic diseases again. Overall rating is two thumbs down, and a turd.
