    Anyone know if they've closed? The wife said she walked past it last night and it looked like it had closed. Hope not, best pizza in Greystones I reckon.

    They were open on sunday.

    I don't think it's the best pizza, but certainly the most convenient! It's nice to be able to just potter across the road when you want one.

    I was talking to the owner once, he had just taken a call from Seabourne for a delivery. I remarked that it was insane, why not just collect. He pointed at the apartments across the road and said that one of them rings for delivery regularly. Mad! He doens't care, more money for him...

    Isn't it free delivery? I live in Seabourne and would always walk across but I could see the occasional appeal if I was in my pj's and didn't want to get dressed, either that or if there was torrential rain.

    But yeah, regularly is just lazy!

    surely the whole point of a take away is laziness. No cooking, cleaning or shopping for food and it arrives to your door. Free delivery for overpriced pizza.melted cheese over toppings so you can't see exactly how little toppings there are.

    I have seen some shop refitting going on since early Monday morning. It'll reopen under a new guise. Pizza Hut? Who knows?

    I wondered if anyone tried it.
    The Pizza hut sign went up today on Godfathers.

    You'd be better off going & buying one of those tescos value pizzas. The cheese wasn't even real. Gross.

    pizza hut hq! Who'd've thought such a massive junk food chain would've set up their hq in a small shop in little old charlesland. We should feel honoured. Hail to our food making betters, i say!

    No more 7'' personal deals! :( Chips are still the same, had the new chicken chunks (BBQ sauce). Were alright, not as good as the old ones. Might have a pizza tongiht. Fingers crossed.

    Big improvment I thought...

    Had the pepperoni lat night and thought it was absolutely yum. It's a definite improvement. I'll sorely miss the onion rings though :(

    Thank God it's changed over. Only had the old pizzas twice and they were so greasy, horrible. Looking forward to trying the new place.

    I had the Pepperoni and it was much better than the old Godfathers one - the base is so much nicer.

    I also got the Cookiedough - Oh My God - it was heaven........ luckily I am pregnant so I can eat as much of it as I want for the next 5 months :D

    Woot! Pizza Hut! That's great - they don't seem to have menu dropped the local area yet though - I think their pizzas are great - we get them in work all the time!

    Had some pizza from there last night and imo it tasted the same as Godfather's did.

    Apparently it was mayhem down there last night with people coming back with wrong orders. So says the gf's parents.

    I'm pretty disappointed about the change. I thought Godfather's Pizza was delicious. Ordered from Pizza Hut today and I thought it was terrible. :(

    OK, to sum up, that's 7 yeas and 5 nays, with one "meh".

    Takeaway pizza conossieurs are a fickle lot.....

    (I liked it - improved sauce and base, and the garlic flakes added a nice touch...)
