The Fat Pizza in Rochford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great pizza, delivery time was good too ... Heard it has New owners so it's on the up again... Not ordered for a while but pizza was much better than papa John's and dominos will definitely be ordering from here again

Poor quality and extremely late delivery

Not ordered for ages as I heard the owner was ill and it temporarily shut... So thought I'd give it another go as I've enjoyed their pizza in the past.... Mmmmm. Lovely and it didn't take long to arrive still nice and hot, the delivery man said they were up and running again with new management and staff... 1st choice again!!

Always worth it. Delivery only so can't rate the atmosphere

Joke of a company canceled order 5 minutes before due to be delivered hungry kid then when I phoned they say that it was cancelled your end. Avoid these dirty thieving scumbags

Almost never on time, but I don’t really care. If you’re just interested in good pizza and sides, with no real time restraint, then it’s the place to go. People critique it as if it’s Dominoes, but it’s a lower price pizza outlet with some great deals and even better flavours. The pizza is so good that almost every time I order it my dad turns up at my door with the milk asking for forgiveness.

Ordered from Rayleigh. Order accepted then 5 mins before delivery due, they cancelled the order. Avoid avoid.

Shower of s***! Allowing customers to order food when the place is not even open! Now I have to wait for a refund. I was really hopeful for Fat Pizza- they had rubbish service when they started but seemed to be improving. My daughter loved their food so I persevered for her sake. This is the final straw for me. Nobody's food is so good that they can keep people waiting so long for it, and to allow people to order when the place is shut is unforgivable. Not everybody has the money to order from elsewhere whilst they await a refund- I'm lucky that I do. But its for those who don't that I write this review.

Never used to be this bad. Hardly any topping and extremely overpriced. Was so late arriving and cold by the time it got delivered. Very rude and unhelpful staff . Would never order again

A very overpriced burnt cheese on toast. I would have asked for another one but it was so late when it got here was too hungry to wait another hour. Terrible

Don't order from here. It states delivery in 40mins on their site. Ordered at 6.17pm and finally received it at 7.53pm! Excuse was "it's busy as it's Saturday" (like every Saturday?!) I called 3 times with no real apology and no compensation or way of trying to keep me as a customer. The delivery finally arrived and it was warm (not hot). I won't be ordering again.

0 is what I would like to leave . Nearly two hours for pizza delivery 5 minutes up the road. No compensation. No customer service. Refused to let us speak to a manager.

Free item was removed from order. Contacted many different numbers and sent a couple of emails that were seemingly ignored. Better off going with Pizza Gogo, Dominos or anyone else if you live in Rayleigh or one of the neighboring towns. Very disappointed with the poor customer service. I was a repeat customer. Won't bother again.

Placed a large order recently relatively late, but it was within reasonable time for order to be prepared. The order was rejected 20 after it was placed. Called multiple times only for there to be no answer. Won't waste my time again.

Ordered last night paid by card waited an hour nothing turned up tried to call the restaurant nobody was answering phones was calling for 30 mins before eventually giving up and going hungry. Terrible service called the next day and the staff literally do not care no explanation no care no apology simply told to apply for a refund online avoid this place

How is this place still in business ? Are they money laundering or something? Food is awful , not to sure how to explain it but food tastes like it’s been cooked in an oven that has never been cleaned

We ordered 3 gluten free pizzas for our daughters birthday party. 2.5 hours later. We called back and were told the order had been cancelled, as there were no more gluten free bases. No communication whatsoever. Thanks a bunch Sh*t Pizza.

So, this afternoon I ordered one BBQ Fat Alone deal and an extra large meat feast. The deal came with coleslaw and curly fries and two drinks. I put the order in, around 4pm for a 6pm delivery including extra mushrooms and BBQ sauce. The driver rang me at 6:17 and said he was five minutes away and the delivery turned up at 6:25. This was after I had been told that it was on it's way at 6pm for a seven minute journey) and there was no coleslaw with the order, very very little amount of BBQ sauce, about three pieces of mushroom and three halves of meatballs. And the fries were soft and squidgy. My partner is diabetic so had already taken her insulin around 5:45. The pizzas were very bland and I think they just use the cheapest cheese that you can get. It basically tasted like a very mild cheddar. I ate about a third of my pizza, because I was very hungry and my partner ate about the same, even though she had taken quite a bit of insulin, expecting the pizza to be as good as previous ones we had bought. I rang the shop after eating to enquire about the missing coleslaw and tell them about the food and they offered a £10 credit to use in the shop. As if I'm going to be using them again. When I said no thanks, the man basically slammed the phone down on me. Buy from here at your peril.

Don’t bother! I ordered one of their cookie dough desserts and wish I hadn’t bothered. It was cold to start with, the cookie dough tasted like day old kebab meat, absolutely vile. Threw it in the bin after the first bite, made me feel sick.

gone right down hill, the quality has really got worse, we will not be using them again, we having been using them for a few years up till now

Worst pizza I've ever had. Came through burnt and cold, an absolute joke of a pizza. How did anyone send that out and think it was okay? I rang the store and he didn't seem to care much and acted as though he was use to getting complaints. I said I wanted a refund so I'm hoping I get one because there's no way that pizza was worth £20

Waited over an hour for my food then called up to ask where it is to then be told it’s been delivered when it clearly wasn’t. The lady was useless told me I was lying and couldn’t help at all then hung the phone would never order from there again. Costumer service is atrocious!

Cancelled our order and didn't notify us.waited 2 hours with two hungry kids and had to ring to be told.

Waited over an hour and a half for a cold pizza and cold cheesy garlic bread. The worst pizza I have ever eaten. I phoned up 5 times just to be told every time that it was 15 minutes away. Crap service and crap food. Never order from here.

Useless. Waited an hour for my order, only to be phoned and told the restraunt was actually closed. Now I've got 4 unhappy kids and have to wait for a refund.

ordered the pizza about 2 hours ago and only just got it. The pizza was cold.And when we spoke on the phone was not helpful at all.

Generic filth!!! The burgers are absolutely disgusting. Straight from a packet. garlic bread wasn't even the same as in the picture. the buns weren't toasted on the burgers. the chicken wings were pink in the middle. The shakes look ok but I'm throwing them away anyway. End of the day extremely overpriced don't call yourself the fat Burger company and don't even make the fing burgers.

Been waiting 2 hours for a delivery. Called up twice and the only response I had was “it should be there in 15 minutes” no customer service either. Used you a lot before. Sad to see your service decline. No very good on a Monday day

Should have read the reviews first :( At time of ordering it said 30mins delivery, 2 hours later and no sign and can't get through to them.

Bit of a wait so add aboit 20 to 30 mons to waiting time......but worth the wait food was top quality.

Never got my order. Absolutely disappointed . Didn’t even sound bothered when I phoned them. Have to go through a refund with Uber eats now

Ordered last week for me and my boyfriend, over an hour+1/2 wait. When it eventually arrived the food looked (and smelled) inedible. If its any consolation, this place used to be good but something happened:(

Ordered through uber eats. Order never arrived. Tried to call resturant. Very rude & hung up on me! Never again 😒

I ordered from here... whilst waiting I read the reviews. Ekkk all 1 star very uncomplimentory reviews. I had a tin of beans on standby.... but. My food arrived in good time and was hot. The burger was very nice and the milkshake was lush. Cheesy garlic bread good also. Is it worth the money emmmm it's a bit pricey for what it is but it certainly doesn't deserve all 1 stars. 4 from me.... oh and the delivery driver was lovely too. Oh and I am always super fussy.

OMG Excellent Burgers you will most definitely end up wearing it if your not careful but i love a messy burger, i like the fact that the burger box opens up just like a plate for your Burger. Nice big juicy thick burgers definitely not a kebab shop burger, sorry no pictures we scoffed the burger beforehand 🤣🤣 x

Ordered just simple burger on Uber, waiting for more than hour, tried to call to cancel my order as it’s getting too late for eating, no one is picking up the phone and I cannot cancel my order

Waited over an hour for order didn’t arrive when spoke to fat pizza they denied knowledge of order despite payment taken and acknowledgment

This is the worst place to order food. They are so rude and disrespectful. Please never order anything here.

Would give 0 stars if I could, ordered through deliveroo at 9.55pm, said would arrive at 10.35. 11.00pm still not arrived so decided to call- restaurant shut at 11pm. Absolutely fuming, still tried to call them, phone hung up on me and then after calling again it went to voicemail which was full so couldn’t leave a message. Checked my account and money has been taken and deliveroo says that they are ‘working on my order’. Disgusting operation they’ve got and will not be ordering from them again and will be asking for a refund- it’s now 11.15pm and still no order!!!!

This is NOT for the restaurant, but for the delivery service. We used Fat Pizza over the years many times, as of late the quality of the pizzas have gone down hill, the cost of the pizzas are sky rocketing and we put an order in of £46 and didn't even receive our order, still arguing with Just Eat to get a refund!! This is one customer they have lost, and reading the reviews I can't see them being able to sustain the business. I went to Tesco in the end and bought 6 pizzas, mozzerlla bites and Jalapeno bites, all for under a tenner.......

we have used fat pizza regularly for years, but the standard has dropped in the last year, after our last order which was not good we have decided to not use fat pizza again

Probably the worst shop ever. Never order. They are robbers.

£27.50 for two burgers with soggy buns Garlic bread not cooked soggy cheese all stuck to box Curly fries hanging out of the box not cooked stone cold

Honestly, an awful experience. Tasteless. AVOID

I wouldn't be surprised if they spat in my pizza, it would have been the majority of the topping. I ordered what was called a Meat Feast. There's more letters in the title of that than meat itself. I went for over £30 to get free delivery to only then notice a service charge afterwards because my attention was taken away by the bag fee when it doesn't come in a plastic none reusable bag or any bag. I'm sat here eating this thing anyway but I'm looking at what looks like out of date frozen chicken cubes. I think for my own health I should stop eating this disappointment right away and go and throw up. Fat pizza wasn't that bad a few years ago but the last 2 times I've had it it's been awful. Think I'm done with this company. My wife's pizza must have only had 5 tiny pieces of pineapple on it as well ... personally I think it serves her right putting pineapple on a pizza but it's besides the point. ... Swerve these clowns at all costs...

These guys just shouldn't be running a business. They are a complete joke. Waited an hour for my delivery. Called to chase and was told in an almost accusatory tone that they hadn't received my order, argued with me about this for a good few minutes, only to change their mind and say they had received it after all (no apology for confusion or lateness though!). Food arrived completely COLD AND DISGUSTING. The desert came with ice cream that was basically liquid. I called to request a refund and was told to email the request, which I did, but i've been ignored. Unluckily for them I'm a qualified journalist so I know my consumer rights. Not only will I be seeing if I can do a news piece about appalling customer service locally, which of course will feature them as the focus, I am also lodging a complaint with the retail ombudsman. I ENCOURAGE ANYBODY WHO HAS HAD BAD SERVCE FROM THEM TO DO THE SAME. They will be significantly fined if there are multiple complaints and they will possibly lose their licence.

Would give zero stars if I could. Do not order from this restaurant. Once they have your details you constantly get spammed with offers. You have to text a premium number that charges £3 to reply to stop... And it doesn't stop!

I would like the manger to call me pleasee

I paid £11 for this inedible slop. The strawberries and bananas are off. The whole meal we ordered went in the bin. Disgusting food

I ordered once, a long time ago, every week I'm getting spam messages from you, in order to opt out, I have to send a text with extra charges wich seems like a scam.

Great pizzas regular discount deals. Genuinely better tha. Pizza Hut and domino. Fresh food

Very quick service and very good pizzas!!!! I will use Fat Pizza again. Phil Hunter, ConnectionsAtHome

If you use this company then be prepared to be spammed with constant texts with offers with no option to opt out as the opt out number doesn’t work! ***Update*** they don’t respond to emails EVER and when you phone you get put through to an extremely rude receptionist who really couldn’t care less .. absolutely appalling!!

Dont eat here waited ages for it to turn up to then open the box to 3 garlic breads with cheese and one slice without. The pizza was so doughy and bland it was disgusting only ate one slice made me feel sick the sausage on it was horrible and half a tub of bbq sauce all over it. It werent particularly hot either. It was tasteless and discusting. They then refused to change my pizza for ages to then giving in but then that came all mangled in the box. We ordered at 6.10 and it didnt arrive til 7.20 then the replacement one didnt arrive til 8.30ish with our cookie dough just sat there the whole time. We then gave the replacement back straight away as opened it in front of the driver and it was all mangled in one corner. Lost my appetite after all the muck around and tasteless food. It was all thrown in a box. The only decent thing was the dips and the drink. Dont waste your money order pizza somewhere else. They said they couldn't refund us because we paid cash on delivery. We have order number proof of purchase and they have proof their end to. Its a joke. They could have sent the cash we gave them back to us but they didnt. Ill be going trading standards about them and citizens advice. Not a very good company thought id try something different and wish i never. Ill be sticking to what i know best in the future.

Lucky to get 1 star. One of the worst burgers I've ever had. Absolutely tasteless, overcooked and dry as a bone. And if that was an 8oz burger then I'm JC himself. I opened the fancy box and first thought I had the wrong burger. I couldn't believe I was being charged nearly £10 for what I was looking at. A word of advice. Putting a rubbish burger in a fancy box doesn't make it a good burger. It's window dressing and your customers see through it. All the food was lukewarm, if you can't deliver warm food then don't bother. I don't understand how you manage to make a burger with several different ingredients on it and it doesn't taste of anything. My burger had 3 pathetic little mushrooms on it. Businesses like The Fat Pizza in Rayleigh make me angry. Not only do they waste your time and your money, but they take business away from good operators who take pride in what they do and who produce a good, consistent product. Judging by the other reviews I'm not so sure they're going to be around for very much longer. And maybe that's not a bad thing. Avoid!

I didn't want to have to say this but people if you want good pizza that turns up on time, don't order from here. An absolute joke of a pizza business where a pizza ordered just after 4.39 still isn't here at 7.23. They started off so well......but honestly, don't bother. Save yourself the issues.

We ordered food and yes we appreciate it was Friday but the length of time waiting was ridiculous, items were missing and food was cold, would rather be told the wait times and decide then if we would order than he told a time and it be much later

Honestly probably the worst service Ive ever had, was waiting for 2 hours for just a dessert and then when it turns up the one other simple thing they need to put in the box with the dessert was ice cream and they couldn’t even get that right, The refund was only credit which you can only use with them which I won’t be doing anytime soon, this has happened a few times now and to also my friends who have used them, benefit of the doubt a few times but just seems to be the norm for this place so never again

Ordered through Just Eat on a Tuesday night. Not a huge order, just one pizza and two sides. Ordered at 6.30pm. Still waiting and it is now 8.30pm. Each time we enquire where our food is the time gets pushed back further. Will not be...

Said the delivery would be 30 mins took 3 hours chicken wing were revolting pizza lacked toppings and tasted doughie and bland just disgusting

Two hours to wait for food is unacceptable. Ringing for 10 min to be told 4-6 mins for delivery, only to get a text that its expected in 24 min. I'll be doing a charge back!

Food cold on arrival, burger was like shoe leather tasteless (cat enjoyed) curly fries and onion rings soggy chicken nuggets bland best item was garlic bread an garlic mushrooms but they were cold as well, cookie dough over sweet and no ice cream 80% of...

Not great at all, definitely avoiding in the future.

Disgusting system. Can’t keep up with the orders! Give you a time made up out in thin air! Two hours for a pizza is shocking

Pizza was as little late but amazing still gave me icecream tubs for the wait :)

Absolutely shocking. Pizza turned up burnt to a crisp.

We Ordered 2 burgers with curly chips and onion rings, the chips turned up cold and pretty hard I would say definitely under cooked, and mozzarella sticks instead of the onion rings, I tried to call straight away with no answer then numerous other try’s...

Never bothered sending the food, claimed first that the driver broke down and then that we didn't answer the door. The door we sit next to 🙃

Order: #2424527 Order made at: 17:11 ETA18:05 First call:18:23 Staff were polite and assured us that the food would be with us in 15minutes. We were told the store was busy ( not that this is an excuse for poor service). Second call: 19:03 Staff were polite. I was told the food would be with us in 10 minutes. The food took a further 17 minutes to arrive. We were offered £15 off our next order. Arrival: 19:20 Delivery driver was polite. An item was missing from the order. The food was stone cold. The food was eaten out of pure hunger and inability to wait any longer for food. Third call 19:28 Staff were polite and offered to send the order again. Having already waited a long time and having a young child who was hungry I declined this offer. I only requested the dessert that we hadn’t received be sent again. I requested a refund and was told the only way to obtain this would be by sending an email. Summary: Staff were the only positive quality about the experience. The staff were apologetic but unable to offer much in the way of compensation. I query their training given the fact that were unable to find my order on the third call and left me on hold in silence for a 3-4 minutes. Then they were unable to facilitate a refund on the phone and I as a customer who had already had a negative experience had to go to extra effort to receive compensation. I believe the food would have been satisfactory had it arrived at a hot temperature. The only thing that could encourage me to try the fat pizza again would be a full refund. The desert didn't turn up until 2100. Over 24hrs later and I've recieved no response to my complaint. Absolutely shocking!

We ordered the 28inch pizza to share between 4 people. It was very disappointing. The pizza arrived late, there was very little topping and it was barely warm even though it had only come approx 3 miles. Would. It order from them again

Me, my brother and my nan, ordered fat pizza and our allotted time slot was between 6.05 and 6.20, but at 7 it still hadn't arrived so we called. They denied all knowledge of our order eventhough we had a confirmation code and an ID...

Me my sister and my nan ordered at 6:00 with an arrival time of 6:20, at 7 it still hadn't arrived. We rung up and asked what was going on, the worker denied all knowledge of our order even when we had a verification code...

I ordered from here last night. I got a XXL pepperoni stuffed crust meat feast and a couple waffles and desserts. The food was delicious And especially that it came in 35 minutes. Although one of our cheesecakes were missing the lady i spoke to, Holly, was really helpful and within 15 minutes I had my cheesecake delivered. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (I don't normally write reviews but I don't think the reviews on here reflect my experience)

Don’t Believe there misleading offers. Evidently there is small print somewhere that gets them out of honouring them. Customer service is a absolute joke run by a third party company that couldn’t give a hoot... I WILL NOT BE USING THE FAT PIZZA AGAIN !!!!...

So Greecey the fat went right through the box to the sofa! I don't know if you need to change the cheese you use, or use less.

Very rude customer service, poor quality and very late.

Decent pizza at decent prices, can’t ask for more. Great shakes, kids love them

After my first order taking 3 hours to be delivered I thought I’d give them another chance, never again. Our order was cancelled so phoned them and they reordered. When our food arrived items were missing, it was cold, the chips weren’t cooked properly, the...

Terrible waiting time I placed using the app which I was told ab hrs waiting after 1 20mins I called the restaurant to ask where my order was I was told there were busy and was told need to wait futher 15 mins. Half an hour goes by and still waiting 🙄 also there app is meant to say where your order is and when u see outstanding see at the restaurant is a joke. I would give zero stars 🌟 if I could Never use this company again and i advise others to avoid. Worse thing it was claimed it was delivered which it never was Stone cold arrived so not happy bloody joke

Massive pizza, only get the pizza though as the rest is not on par.

If I could give zero stars I would! Ordered through just eat and the service was shocking, restaurant denied they got my order despite accepting it through Justeat. Never got the food after waiting over an hour and trying to speak to speak to them, staff were very unhelpful and have logged a complaint with Justeat. Absolutely shocking service!

The food is fine but getting several texts a week and not being able to stop them is really annoying

Fries weren’t cooked well and pizza lacking toppings 😣

The cookie dough was nice. Average but not bad. But the waffles were clearly the cheap rubbish ones. I was so dissatisfied and disappointed. After paying £15 for 2 desserts to be delivered, I was hoping it was going to be immaculate but the waffles...

The pizza, burgers. Basically everything is amazing.

This place is soooooo good Most companys are stingy but they put just right toppings on the pizza not too many not too less I ordered at half nine and got my food on time I asked them to write happy birthday on a pizza box because it was my friends birthday and they drew a cake and done it not any company's do this place is really nice nothing else is better

Absolutely atrocious delivery times. Over an hour and a half for a pizza. I could have literally gone to Tesco, bought the ingredients and made my own in the same time it took them to deliver it. It wasn't even that nice. Tried calling to complain, couldn't get through after using 2 phones and a combined 17 attempts to ring. Avoid like the plague.

Ordered pizza for a friend's birthday, food was delivered under estimated time! Pizzas were delicious, the tomato base was amazing! Got milkshakes and cookie doughs for the kids and they loved it! Definitely will be ordering again!

I have ordered at least one hour ago if not two and still no pizza this is so poor of them as it said it will take 10-20 minutes have had no response from them.

Amazing Pizza - tastiest I have had in ages and great value for money ....highly recommend!

Love the pizzas from this branch in Raleigh great quality and always delivers hot and fresh would deffinitly recommend.

Really tasty pizza, Loved the stuffed crust especially. Ordered a large order for the office for lunch, arrived on schedule and was piping hot too, everyone was really impressed (and full, the pizzas are huge!) Excellent value for money, highly recommend!

Viral all round service part from driver who was agreeing with us all the way ,shop muck up are first dessert , so resent another because wasn’t giving cash refund which they should, if there taking cash !! Then second order came and went all...

Absolutely shocking service. 1.5 hours to get a pizza delivered. Slow is an understatement and when it arrived it was all over the box and tasted awful. I feel absolutely robbed of £20

They delivered the wrong pizza to us, we tried calling their number over 50 times.. no answer! Then we tried all the other contact options on their website.. messenger, Email.. Nothing. Disgusting customer service. It can't be that difficult.. we ordered one pizza.. how can you get this wrong?!! And no way of contacting them, that they respond to.

messed up order, over charged us & refused to refund. disgraceful customer service! DO NOT ORDER! SO unprofessional and pizza was disgusting too

The pizza may be ok but the driver is a disgrace he dumped his rubbish outside my house and I have it on camera.

hard curly fries with no cheese, which we asked for pizza was OK can of drink warm fast delivery would not order again

My son and his friends pooled their money together for a pizza, ordered through his account but said they would pay driver cash. Driver took the cash And the company took the money off my card which is on the account. A week later still no refund , called back they said it had been refunded. It hasn't. Very rude wouldn't use them again for the driver to basically steal from kids is disgusting pay driver
