Pizza Pickup closed down

Good, if you look at the Tripadvisor reviews, almost all of them are coincidentally from a user who has only ever reviewed once, and rated Pizza Pickup very favourably, giving it 5 stars. We all know that this means it is the owners/employees deliberately writing these and misleading people into thinking the takeaway is the mutts nutts.


This is dishonest and sneaky, so im pleased if they have gone out of business.

How is size not relevant to price?

Yes - but I still go in there every now and then as it's next door and a sneaky last pint and a big bar to sit at.

To me, VDR is almost pizza hut/domino's standard of pizza... however, the ankle-biter seems to love the food, and I like the beer, so we seem to end up there quite a bit. It sometimes seems to get busy in the evening, mainly with drinkers, with the food as alcohol-absorbing stodge for those who want it.

I never tried pizza pickup but saw they had a sandwich board outside saying they were voted best pizza in London on trip adviser or something along those lines... Was meaning to try it at some point.


I like Voodoo Rays. It's quick, good variety of pizzas, easy and tasty!

dishonestly manipulated the voting themselves, they failed to add. Isn't it peculiar how 'the best pizza shop in London' suddenly closed down? I'd of thought they would be fighting to contain the insatiable demand from breaking down the doors!

Went there once a while back; felt a bit sorry for the owner guy in there who chatted to us. The writing was on the wall (read: going to fail) even back then.


Think they'd had fairly 'meh' reviews from a couple of publications after opening which obviously didn't get them off to a good start, but underlying this, the interior/ambience was all a bit wrong and the pizza, while fine, was unremarkable. They needed at least one (or preferably) both of these to be better have succeeded.


Voodoo Rays looks more inviting in terms of ambience. That said, we've never been in there because the pizzas - sorry, pizza pies - on show look ghastly.

Wasn't that my point about the debt ridden Pizza Express?

No one wants a saturated pizza. Base goes all soggy.

Shame, but they were outgunned by Voodoo Ray which opened opposite shortly after they did.


There never used be many places to get decent pizza round here, but now there are quite a few so competition is tough. I went in there a couple of times, and it was absolutely fine, but didn?t really have a USP

Yep. VDR is actually a great place to take toddlers. Plenty of space, booth seating, good toilets and decent tunes. Pizza menu is limited and its probably mlre a bar tbh but it wins for other reasons. That said its never that busy - another reason I like it.

    • The dustmen kindly broke my garden gate this morning,  so I am looking for a replacement.  I could make a complaint to the council, however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. Many thanks. 
    • My front gate has expired! Does anyone have an unwanted one - ideally wrought iron? Many thanks. 
    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery.
