Ped's Pizza in Havering

Food: Incredible Napoli style pizzas made fresh right there. Without doubt the best pizza in Gidea Park / Romford area. Service: Very friendly, helpful staff. Atmosphere: It's a small cosy establishment, casual dining with a really great atmosphere, especially in the winter months! A faultless restaurant offering good prices, incredible food and friendly service!

We've been coming to Peds for a long time at this point and I can honestly say it is the best Pizza place around. It's our favourite restaurant in Gidea Park. The dough is always fresh and delicious, the monthly specials always add something new to the menu and if that doesn't take your fancy, then they have a long list of established pizzas that will make you want to come back again and again. It's great to see a local restaurant run by a local. Matt and the team do a great job and if you are in the area, this is certainly the place to go! Also the brownie is 10/10! 🤤

I ordered a pizza to be delivered, and when it arrived, I noticed it was uncut. While it’s true that most people at home would typically have knives to cut the pizza, there’s always the possibility that they might have been planning to eat it in a park, or had just moved into a new house and didn’t yet have their kitchen cutlery unpacked, or perhaps intended to share it with neighbors or friends who were helping them with work outside and lacked access to proper cutlery. The pizza was tasty, a bit cold, but this was maybe because of the distance.

My favourite pizza. Love the base and generous toppings

Delicious pizza, highly recommend.

Very attentive staff and the pizzas were incredible.

Have eaten in the restaurant multiple times and had takeaway. Every time the pizzas have been excellent with the service top notch as well. We have tried making pizzas at home with little success so thought we would give Peds class a go to pick up some tips. We had a wonderful time with the owner who took the time to understand what we were looking for in the class and answer our numerous questions. Great value class as well as it came with two pizzas each and lots of drink refills. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks you Ped

Terrible Experience — Not Worth the Price I recently ordered pizza to take away from this pizzeria, and I have to say it was a complete disappointment. The dough was rubbery, incredibly hard to chew, and the bottom was burnt to the point of being bitter. There were only a few tiny pieces of salami on top, but they were practically inedible because they had been placed over the cheese and nearly burnt. For some reason, the pizza was excessively greasy by the time I got home, which made it even worse. The promised pumpkin ingredient was barely there, just a few small pieces in one corner of the pizza. To top it off, the pizza wasn't even round—it came in an odd, rectangular shape, like a parallelepiped. It was totally unprofessional and poorly made. For £13, I was expecting a decent meal, but what I got was far from edible. With great reluctance, I gave it one star, though it didn’t even deserve that. I definitely won’t be ordering from here again.

Best pizza you can get, period.

Amazing fresh food good price for the the food/drinks you get

Great as always, best pizza in East London/Essex!

Great but no goats cheese pizza

Nice pizza cooked in a traditional looking oven albeit gas or electric not wood. Unfortunately the actual overall guest experience is somewhat lacking. The pizza making experience that can be booked sounds really good, you can also buy their dough to take away only what isn't mentioned is that you have to buy 10 portions and order it a day in advance ??

We come here every couple of months for date night. Started getting the local delivery in lockdown and we were so excited when the restaurant opened, it did not disappoint! Really fresh lovely pizzas, just the right amount of toppings, great Italian lager and generally a lovely place to eat. We will keep coming back ☺️

You can’t go wrong with this place……Great pizza and always consistent!! This is our go to pizza place since day 1 when it opened….we don’t go anywhere else for pizza. Prices are good and always been reasonable with the price hikes. The Nduja pizza is a must if you like a bit of spice…..compliments to the owner!!!

Ordered for the first time tonight and the pizza was amazing. Wish I had tried here sooner!

delicious neapolitan-style pizza, stylish interior, friendly service.

They only start preparing takeaway orders (deliveroo) when the drivers arrive to the restaurant. This results in, generally, a delay of 10-15 min which is the time preparing the order. So if you order through deliveroo add 10-15 min extra to the time the app tells you the driver is gonna arrive. I'm a driver myself and this restaurant always operated in this way. This could be more as sometimes the driver ends up rejecting the order after 10 min waiting resulting in more time to find somebody that accepts the order and travel's to the restaurant. Been rejecting orders specially on fridays but from time to time I accept one just to see if they improved but no still the same. Edit: I understand it's hard to get the orders prepared at the same time when it's busy but you should aim to start preparing before the driver arrives. What's been done for more than an year is starting preparing when the driver arrives. The good rating is due to the good product that you serve. The pizzas have quality indeed but there's no competitors in the area so people don't have another option apart of waiting more 15-20 mins to get their pizzas delivered.

Someone I know said they do very good pizzas so as a Italian I had to try and to be honest is the best one I ve eaten in Essex. Very good service and fast take away.

Personally the best pizza I've had in the UK. Hoping they open for lunchtime during the summer.

What an amazing place. Decor rustic and industrial, loved it! Pizza wa a truly one of the best I have ever eaten and I have eaten a few!!! Crisp thin base and sweet tomato base. Tried the Butternyt base sauce, also very nice but I’ll stick with tomato thanks. The Nduja pizza was my choice but tbh, the Funghi pizza was by far my favourite. Well done Chef and also superb front of house! Loved it and defo be returning very soon.

Great hidden jem, not far from Romford. If you like Pizza you definitely have to give them a try. Expect something different then Domino's or Papa John's. This is actual pizza (Italian Style) with a really thin base and a mix of ingredients meant to give your taste buds a unique experience.

Wanted to come for a while. Visiting mother-in-law so came… bloody wish I hadn’t waited! Pizzas are on point. What makes it, is the very planned and very cheffy unusual toppings. Really really great. Pickyness; more beee choices. Maybe a draught tap? But honestly I’m looking for gripes. Boys, doing a sterling job. WAT HERE PEOPLE!!!

amazing local place - the pizza tasted splendid. the service was super quick and friedly. we will definitely visit again!

Superb pizza and great value too. Much nicer and cleaner than chain takeaways. Highly recommend

They need to have pepperoni and pineapple on the menu. My only gripe

Great spot! Very authentic, deliecious food Make sure you book the tables and not the bar stools though.

Been here twice in the last week. On Saturday we ate in and were squeezed in last minute without a table which was great. It’s a small place but nice and rustic. All of our pizzas were great but my son’s pizza with salami was too spicy for him (we didn’t realise it said spicy salami on their chalkboard menu on the wall). My wife and I’s pizzas were fabulous. What caught us by surprise was £3.25 for 11 olives, £2.00 for a tiny pot of chilli oil and 50p for chilli flakes. Never been charged for chilli oil or flakes even in Napoli. Understand they’re a new business but there was no warning of this and not even the chalk board let me know. Waitress tried to say it’s on there but admitted it wasn’t after I challenged her. Tonight we ordered and was told to be there at 6:15. Arrived on time. Was told it’ll be a further 5mins at 6:17. At 6:28 I was approached for payment and when I asked how long, was told it’ll be another 2 mins. At 6:37 it’s finally in my hands. Didn’t appreciate the poor service. Aside from that, the pizza just didn’t taste the same. We live 5 mins away by car. Dough was chewy and didn’t have that great rich taste especially with ingredients like the beef for the Manzo pizza. Maybe it was just an off day but Saturday was just as busy so don’t understand the difference. A sorry for being 22mins later than told and keeping my car running wasn’t great with no gesture of goodwill to truly say sorry. Do better guys because the Saturday on pizza was phenomenal and learn to manage expectations better. Edit 11/04/24 - thanks for taking the time to respond Matt, most appreciated. Learnt something too about the steam in the box. However, you are wrong about chilli oil being £1. My wife and I both saw the receipt which clearly stated £2.00 Chilli oil. Maybe we were double charged then? As for the cost of chilli oil, totally understand economics behind the decision. as someone who also makes his own chilli oil using good quality olive oil imported from Spain but still don’t think this should be charged. Even the way it was provided in a small round metal dish was a messy way of pouring onto our pizzas. Either way, thanks for taking the feedback onboard. We will be back for more in the future.

There is not much to say more than this place is definitely the best pizza restaurant in Romford. Really good job, guys 🤙🤙🤙

My children had a pizza making class with Matt and we were all blown away. The information we learnt and the pizzas itself were another level! Highly recommend. Can't wait to return. Thank you for a lovely few hours. Kids loved it.

I was get my pizza from pizza pilgrims until trying this place. Well done 👏

The best pizza we have had in the UK! We come here all the time and are never disappointed by the food or options. Great selection of pizzas wines and the monthly special is an added bonus! If you want pizza go to Peds

Seriously the best pizza I've ever tasted! The atmosphere is a relaxed, laid back vibe with friendly staff and the food options are just the right amount to not get lost for choice. If you want authentic pizza, no need to go to Italy, just come here. Sensational! Definitely will go back very soon as this is my new fave pizza spot! Thanks guys 😋

Another great meal at Peds! Never disappointed 👍… lovely food and lovely staff. Thanks to you all x

Great pizza totally recommended love it!

Unreal pizza. Can’t get better. Menu is great too. Brilliant options.

Absolutely delicious Thanks ❤️

Great to have a nice pizza place so local. Lots of vegan options, and great range of drinks. Highly recommend

natural food, not less than amazing I tried the vegetable pizza, I loved it well, I used the takeaway service quickly actually

Excellent pizza, thank you! We'll definitely be back.

Great local pizza spot, just as good as anywhere you would find in the city! Highly recommend

Lily, euan, rhys were very hospital and extremely friendly.......what a night.....

Can’t complain about food but service wasn’t great .waited ages for starters whilst they were cooking food for takeaways .wouldn’t bother going again

Best Neapolitan pizza in London 🍕🤩🍕🤩

Beautiful pizzeria, absolutely loving it !!!

Absolutely brilliant food and a great place. Lovely service as well. The best pizza places around.

Best pizza shop by far i have went to! I had to pay for a uber for them to deliver because address was too far for deliveroo that's how nice it is

Great service, friendly atmosphere and authentic pizza.

We came for the pizza making course between Christmas and New Year and would highly recommend. The owner Matt walked and talked us through the process from start to finish and was extremely patient (some of the pizzas were less circular than others!) My partner and I have a pizza oven at home (we buy our dough from Ped’s too) and we were able to learn a lot more about how to level up our pizza making. My sister and her partner hadn’t made pizza from scratch before, but were able to do so and enjoy doing so with Matt’s guidance. Food and drinks were all included and we all really enjoyed our afternoon. We regularly eat here as the food & service is great and the price is very reasonable too. Will be back soon!

Delicious pizza, good value, lovely staff, fresh decor. Will definitely come back!

Excellent quality pizza with some great topping options and very good service. Pricing was also very reasonable! Would highly recommend.

I had my birthday party here in October. Matt and the team catered for it so well and the food was outstanding. Would highly recommend.

Takeaway delivery cold, very expensive and generally poor.

As a local we've been here a few times and it never disappoints! Ped's is a must for any pizza fan, the pizzas are so delicious and there is a great selection of options on the menu. Also a huge fan of the crust dippers and Ichnusa beers!

First time here, was a brilliant place to come and have some freshly baked pizza and beverage with my friends and catch up.

Lovely place, ordered a takeaway but stayed for a beer. Great service and pizza was fantastic.

Loved the food at Ped's Pizza, one of the best pizzas I've had. Truly authentic and excellent quality ingredients and good value for value for money.

Nom nom nom what can I say Ped's is elite!! One of the best pizzas and so close to home. The monthly specials are always fun to check out and add a burrata to your choice you won't be disappointed.

Such a cute little place! Food came so fast it felt like we'd barely ordered before it appeared. Without doubt the best pizza we've had outside Naples and this even gave the inventors a run for their money! Can't wait to come back again. How often is too often to come here?

I was very surprised at how good the food was in Peds Pizza! I’m not exaggerating when I say, I ate the best Pizza I’ve ever had! Was perfect size, perfectly cooked . Great price , nice staff . 5 out of 5 from me! Thanks

Very poor quality ingredients, was very much looking forward to this but it disappointed. The garlic ontop the garlic bread was burnt. The meatballs were very poor as well.

Couldn't have the pizza I wanted as they had run out of peppers (there are supermarkets open late pretty much next door so surely an emergency purchase could have been made as limited number of pizzas on the menu). Waitress wasn't great, not very helpful and felt the dine in experience wasn't worth it. Shame had been looking forward to going here since it opened.

Great authentic Italian pizza and excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

Great pizza place. Been quite a few times now and the food is always excellent, fresh and delicious. Staff are great, reasonably priced. We will definitely go again.

Epic pizza 🍕 hot honey & Nduja is a winner!

Authentic Neopolitan pizza. Absolutely delicious and good value . Had a lovely meal there on 23rd September. See you again. Sean and Nic x

Ordered a take away for the first time on a recommendation, disappointed all round quality and taste most of it went in the bin dry and taste less

Great pizza, lovely service, nice atmosphere

Staff are always so friendly, food was amazing. We tried the sun dried tomato with peppers and the margarita, both were gorgeous! And we learnt today that you can buy their dough!! Can’t wait to try it next time xx

Really gorgeous pizza and great variety of toppings. Saturday lunchtime, attentive polite staff. Will definitely come here again.

Best pizza I’ve had in the area . Brownie too. First visit today and will not be the last . Very tasty.

Lovely place and pizza for all the family. Highly recommend!! The chocolate pizza was delicious!

Wonderful place to have drink and Neapolitan pizza. We had Zucca pizza with pumpkin cream. It was delicious, all falvours where noticeable, salami was good quality. They had good variety of drinks, Soho not alcoholic one was a pleasant surprise. Toilet was clean and fitted with baby changing station. I'm sure I will visit this place again to try rest of their interesting pizzas.

Amazing place, food, and atmosphere. A great experience. It is incredibly clean and the staff are extremely friendly. It is an open planned restaurant and so you can see your food being prepared. Would definitely go back.

Been a few times now. All of the food is fresh and tastes delicious. All food is reasonably priced too. Staff are really friendly. Would highly recommend. We shall keep on returning.

Just ordered my first take away pizza from Ped's and it didn't disappoint! Hands down the best pizza around. Fresh ingredients and the pizza dough is👌. Great to have a traditional pizzeria in the area.

1st time here today and definitely not the last one. Pizza tastes amazing, highly recommended.

Went today, friendly service, lovely food and great value.

Stonkingly good pizza everytime

It’s usually very difficult to find a decent gluten free pizza anywhere. Ped’s pizza have really gone out of their way to cater for people on a gluten free diet, to provide what is probably the best gluten free pizza I have had in the UK!

Tasty pizzas, great atmosphere and a fantastic local spot. We always dine in, love it here and fast becoming regulars!

Lovely pizza and dessert was amazing

lovely stuff,very busy,ordered collection online, bang on time,recommended

Absolutely delicious! Possibly the best and most authentic Neapolitan pizza in london.

Delicious pizza and great, friendly service. Will be back soon

Really good food, clearly great fresh ingredients. I've had a few pizzas from here now since it started as a delivery only service,and I can't pick my favourite!

Best pizza's in GP! Burrata was an amazing addition. My daughter was excited that you are now serving gluten free bases. She wasn't disappointed. One of the best GF pizza's she has had!!

Great addition to Gidea Park! Lovely food, great atmosphere and reasonable prices.

Peters was amazing! Appreciate the great service😁

It's not a Napolitan's pizza. The pizza is quite bready and the tomato sauce is not great

Fantastic pizza and fantastic service. Couldn't ask for more.

Hands down the best pizza restaurant around! Highly recommend - delicious pizza, lovely atmosphere & super attentive staff.. 10/10 all round.

We have been going to Peds for years now. We started in the pandemic and never looked back. Awesome food every time and a lovely little restaurant now. Best Pizza around. Highly reccomend

The best pizza restaurant in Essex. Great pizza, great with kids and a lovely atmosphere

I’m Italian! And this is the best pizza I’ve had outside Italy! Well done guys ❤️❤️

Finally a GREAT pizza place in Essex. Delicious pizza, topping options are top, good wine, highly recommended

Ped’s pizza is the best pizza I’ve had in the UK. And I’ve eaten a lot of pizza. The ingredients are so fresh and the dough is spot on. The place itself has a lovely atmosphere and the staff and service is excellent. I’m keen to visit Naples to see if the pizza is as good there as it is at Ped’s!

9/10 would eat here again. Amazing pizzas, great service and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

this place has a great vibe / ambience , been 3-4 times now pizzas are to die for , honestly the best I've tried and I've had many!!! , great addition to Gidea park the staff are also very friendly , wishing the owner all the success he has obviously worked so hard for

First visit,very enjoyable,delicious pizzas and excellent service. Definitely coming back. Larry & Helen
