Speedy Pepper in Darlington

Absolutely terrible takeaway. Food due at 18:15, rang up when it was 30 minutes late to be told the driver had just left (the usual takeaway line) he turned up 15 minutes later with an item missing and a poor unrelated replacement. The pizza was cold and had clearly been stood there awhile, probably since 18:15, the chips needed to spend more time being cooked and less time on the counter top. This used to be a nice takeaway but has clearly gone downhill, and as a result will be getting no more of my money, never again!

We went to this shop after a night out. We arrived and paid around £24 for our order and didn’t even get it as one of the workers walked out while the other one was crying in the back room which was visible for all the customers. We waited about an hour for 2 donor wraps which we never received as they turned off the lights and said they were closed after many people had already paid for their orders. So please avoid this place at all costs. Also the worked seemed to be either high or drunk behind the counter as she seemed extremely distant from her work and even told my friend after waiting for an hour already that he would have to wait for longer because he was being “cocky” which is extremely unprofessional so would 100% not recommend this place for food at all.

Delivery took too long, food was cold and for some reason the people who work there cant read a simple order. I asked for a sizzler pizza and i got a completely different one, came with jalapeños and onion. Never ordering from here again.

Zero rating - food didn’t show up !!!

Food was good, but the delivery driver tried to ask for more money for delivery, because we were 5 miles from the take-away. He was told to take it up with the shop as I had paid £3.50 delivery charge as part of the order via Just Eat.

food was delicious and pipeing hot

Got charged for delivery fee on main order,asked for a further £3.00 by delivery driver who said we were out of the area,no problem with the food

Ordered a dinner kebab and chicken burger. Kebab was inedible, rock hard, dry and crispy! Will not be ordering again!

Order did not turn up. Cannot call restaurant

only half of the order arrived. couldn't get hold of anyone to complain about it because the phone number was not in use. so cant talk to anyone to get refund. will not be ordering from speedy pepper again. absolutely shocking.

Parmo absolutely disgusting, burnt to a crisp, delivery driver tired conning me out of a bottle of coke aswell, seemed off his lips 🤣

Awful place. The only thing worse than its food is the service.

Absolute disgraceful. Barely any parmo for £7.50. When questioned? That’s a full parmo! Horrendous portions and even worse attitudes. Will never go again. Ripping people off!!

Talk about Price gouging £9 for 2 portions of frozen chips.

Order hasn’t shown up restaurant number won’t answer

Always a great experience, love the calzone and the driver/owner is lovely. I order very often and I forget to leave my reviews sometimes, so I do it all at once, for the genius that wants to report me, go for it, the orders are legit, we just love the place, and you can kiss it :)

very tasty chicken parmo. Good size

£30 order. Chips were re-heated and doner meat burnt and inedible. Pizza was chewy but didn't taste bad. Salad was fresh but seemed to be the only thing that was fresh. Contacting just eat for a refund as I wouldn't pay that for sub standard food and half binned. delivery driver was nice possibly the owner. Who ever is writing the spoof reviews under the name sabrina to get his star rating up I am also reporting to get taken down as misleading customers!!!

Missing half the oder but not to worry at the half that did arrive wasn't fit for human consumption.

I got a bargain meal all was ok apart from the kebab meat. It’s absolutely burnt. Cudnt eat it if tried. Was solid no taste. Terrible..

£13 pound special rubbish,hardly anything but kebab meat and tiny sliced burgers,never again,rip off!

Absolutely clueless, my girlfriend’s coeliac which is completely gluten free, asked the guy behind the counter if they know what gluten free is and he just laughed, avoid at all costs, absolute cretins, my other friends got food and it was horrible, cold and full of gristle

90 mins for delivery was rough, but delivered spot on target time so no complaints. food was delicious as always, I've not been let down by quality or taste. Will for sure order again.

Great meal and service enjoyed

The food was disgusting, im in touch with just eat regarding a refund, the phone number for the restaurant does not work, I hate this place?

i have waited well over half hour late not happy not accepterble we ordered over an hour ago

Food didnt turn up and phone numbers on line didnt work .... !!!

Spot on. Both pizzas really nice. Inferno could have been a bit hotter (more jalapeños), and Coke Zero given, not Diet Coke, but doesn’t deserve a mark down.

Food was good quality but packaging was very poor. Why still using polystyrene boxes? It makes the food sweat. Pitta bread was small and very chewy. Chilli sauce was very sweet & sickly. Needs changing to hot sauce. Chips, chicken & onion rings were very good. Could do better though.

Half my order was correct the other half was abysmal. 'Tandoori chicken kebab' wasn't tandoori at all more like tikka and it was inedible! So so salty! And clearly they didn't read the allergen notes as it came with stuff I'd requested not to. Also both cans of coke were wrong, the menu says original coke. Yet coke zero arrived. Despite not having coke zero on the menu! Never ordering here again!

Waited 2 hours and 30 minutes for food that was barely warm and the contact number does not work

This place needs to be shut down, food taking 10 mins to arrive is dreadful. Basically attempted murder how they try to deliver food which isn’t even Cooke whatsoever, absolutely terrible.

Wrong toppings on pizza and it was like a frisbee garlic bread wasn’t the best and the parmo looked like it had been in auschwitz only got a 2 star because the kebab and garlic was nice

Hot food early delivery and fantastic food definitely continue to use again

Beautiful food became my favourite take out really nice and reccomend

Never ordered from here but would highly recommend food was hot lovely and good value for money large portion size will certainly be using again best I've had by far in this town

Got a really good deal, was delivered early and was plenty and very nice. 👍🏻

Food was good and the driver was on time. However I used the notes section when ordering stating that I do not want the driver to knock and instead text me when he’s here and I’ll come out. But this was ignored and he knocked anyway. This then made my dog bark and wake up my baby. Cheers

Excellent service, extras amazing, lovely gesture, thank youuuuu

"Full parmo" barely half a parmo there for £9

Enjoyable as I have gone off most puzzas and found theses and so much nicer

Garlic bread was over cooked and the chicken was cold the kebab meat was as hard as cardboard I ordered coleslaw and had 2 cans of pop delivered instead Not enjoyable any all I’m afraid and normally I love you guys

they forgot coca cola. told me he will come back in 10 mins passed 1 hour no cola here.

Gorgeous meal, will definitely reorder and recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice food, ordered easily and delivered within the expected time.

My paramo was burnt and I did not receive my bottle of pop

Food came quickly however was not worth the money. I would’ve rather walked to the local shop and got a frozen pizza. Chips were undercooked and soggy and the pizzas had no flavour at all, very thin and tasted of nothing but tomato purée. Definitely wouldn’t be back, big waste of nearly £30.

Ordered food and waited for over an hour and a half and no sign of it coming. Phone number is not even recognised at all. Don’t order from here clearly as bent as a £3 coin

Lovely food as always. Thank you.

Pizza was cold and tough and the chips tasted like cardboard.

The shop isn’t open yet they’ll happily accept orders

didn’t even deliver the food!! don’t recommend

Pizza was soggy stuffed crust still tasted of dough thin crust there was no crust or crunch

I’ve not ordered from here in a year it used to be lovely. The chips where cold and barely cooked. The parmo was burnt and dry and the pizza was awful.

Placed order as advert said delivery was 30/40 mins came just under 2 hours later asked for BBQ sauce and none delivered cheese burger came without cheese and large Parmesan was not large although tasty

Everything spot on chessy garlic bread awesome

Paid extra for garlic dip, not received and order was later than advised.

Good food ..Hot .... but was later than estimated

Ordered the big speedy box, was very nice. Chicken succulent, kebab tasty and shish very nice. Will order from here again.

Allowed an order to be accepted through Just Eat when CLOSED. Waited almost an hour past expected delivery time. Unable to call because they’re closed and only found that information out when I googled the restaurant. Close for deliveries on days you aren’t open! Now may not get a refund and certainly won’t be reimbursed for all your extra charges. Disgusted.

Ordered on just eat with no contact number for the restaurant or anything but has taken my money and so my partner went to see if it was open and it’s shut. Why accept an order if it’s shut and take my money?

Was the best. Unfortunately not this time

Food was crazy late and totally cold when it eventually got here- and the telephone number said not recognised so no way of contacting restaurant .. ruined the night.

I didn’t get what I ordered at all I’m wanting a refund

Delicious food but never received the chips

Ordered pepperoni but got margherita

My parmo tasted more like flattened road kill, with a light spreading of bechamel sauce, sprinkled with light cheese! That was NOT chicken and tasted of tyres and was as dry as a nuns crotch! The best thing about this was my kebab which was probably more likely to have been scraped off the road that my squirrel parmo! Will not order again from here!! Ps… this was a kids meal! I wouldn’t have served this to my dog never mind my child! Sorry but the truth. Please change your chicken supplier as it’s defo not chicken 😊

Don't order anything from here, disgusting food unedible and terrible service

Still no pizza waiting still and number is incorrect so cannot call restaurant. Also address states skinnergate restaurant, I have called these and not on just eat and do not deliver.....

Absolute joke. Took almost 3 hours to arrive. Was over cooled and cold. Didnt answer the phone all night and the delivery guy waa very rude. I wont be buying from them again.

Ordered a munchy box with coke and dip got some candy pizza thing a 10" pizza and no coke or munch box

Pizza was so greasy it was falling apart, far too salty too

No the best experience to be honest they forgot 2 cans of pop and a bottle of Pepsi of my order I rang the owner went mad over the phone saying I had to ring hot plate and speedy pepper 2 as apparently I don’t order from this restaurant however it had the same address and number that I rang he was then saying I had to call I speedy pepper 2 and hot plate as they use his name and it wasnt his fault and how speedy pepper hasn’t delivered in 8 years. Was spoken to disgustingly by the owner and even when I tried to ring back for speedy peppers 2 number if they had it he answer the phone by saying “ I have told you darling” which is no way to answer the phone and speak to customers I would have just let it slide but they way I was shouted at over the phone and how he clamied I never ordered from the this restaurant was shocking.

When the food arrived it was cold and to top it off the pizza was not the flavour I had ordered. This is now the 3rd takeaway in a row when ordering through just eat that has been wrong or items missing. Just eat really need to sort out the quality of business operating on their web site . It does not seem fair that I have yet again been charged delivery be service charge for a meal that was incorrect. You wouldn’t pay this in a restaurant if your meal was incorrect.

Decent pizza last night after a good skinful think I fell asleep in the street outside after parrttttyy

All I can say is I paid for food to be delivered and it never came 6 hours later still nothing will not be ordering from use again I wouldn't advise any one to pay by card as I still hoping they give me back the money for the food I never got

Ordered the food at 6 and received it at 8.30 ridiculous

2 and half hours for delivery, arrived cold! Awaiting refund!

2 hours late.. so much for “speedy”. Rung up and promised a delivery with 30 minutes - rung back 45 minutes later to have the employee argue with me that it wasn’t 45 minutes (when I offered to send screen shot of my phone call he backed down) finally arrived and we’d ordered 6 southern fried chicken strips and got 4 with two non southern fried ones, partner ordered large chicken kebab with about 3 pieces of chicken - do not order here!!

Delivery spot on food bang on cant go wrong.

Not exactly speedy. Food cold. No apology. Didn’t answer the phone when rang for an update. An hour and a half late.

Food awfull card box tasted better

Never showed up but took the order.

Lovely food and exactly on time!

Food was ok but for the money we paid for it really wasn’t worth it - bit if a rip off to be honest. £22 for 2 small chicken kebabs! Won’t be using these again I’m afraid.

I ordered BBQ pizza , they gave worst pizza never like Pizza its like a home made pizza .. very Disappointed, and chips was like sausage cold one……..

I haven't recieved my order yet!!!! Where is it?

Food wasn’t even delivered. Couldn’t reach them on the phone at all. No communication, no idea what happened to my order.

Expensive (but, town centre) based too thin for me

Absolute shambles. Ordered a chicken and shish kebab... received loads of donner, burnt burger and one bit of chicken. Disgrace of place. Never again

Order didn’t even arrive, the restaurant didn’t even answer the phone.

Took 2 hours to arrive, its barely warm. Tried ringing the takeaway 6 times phone off hook or not connected, but wasn't even ringing. Won't be ordering again from slow (speedy) pepper

I was disappointed with the pizza arrived warm at best. The restaurant could use thermal bags in future, one was not used here and the pizza had got cold and soggy

Ordered food for staff and residents of the lawns care home Darlington at 10pm order was due between 11.35pm and 11.55pm no order arrived at all, disgusting service!!!

Food wasn't hot when it arrived. Friend said her chips were underdone, and her baguette was soggy... :D pizza was okay but barely warm. Had food from here before and it was good, so hopefully better next time!

The pizzas had a funny lingering taste to them almost like a chemical cleaner or soap taste to them

Food was stunning best parmo I've had around darlington and donner pizza and cheesy garlic bread were stunning too

was delivered the wrong main i had ordered a large hot shot parmo but got a small chicken wrap disappointed to put it mildly .

The cabbage was not pickled and in big lumps. The Donner meat was thin and greasy, the chicken was slimy to touch and greasy. The chips were ok but covered in greasy food so made them soggy.the burger was over charred. You need to change your oil, clean your grill get a new donner meat cutter. This used to be the best shop in town. The only thing that is still amazing is the chilli and garlic sauce.

Discraceful, over an hour late, restaurant number didn't work, couldn't get in touch with anyone regarding order. Absolute shameful, this has happened once before but we thought it may have been a bad day but no. Same thing happened again on a Sunday evening not even a busy day. Never coming back and would recommend everyone avoid at all costs.
