Hollywood Pizza

So... I've been going here for years! AND; (*They didn't 'pay me', to say any of this, Nor... Am I 'affiliated', with them, in any way... It's important I say this, because: I'm 'spilling-all-the-tea', here!... So here goes, with an honest review... (*I was also born in Harrow, and have seen, '1st-hand', just how 'down-hill' everything has gotten, especially here in South Harrow), it's literally a 'slum' town now... Anywayz... There's still some 'Gems' in Harrow, and THIS Pizza Place (and Chicken Shop) is ONE of them! I've had some good experiences, and some bad, (but not always the restaurant/staff's fault), So... I'll do my best to explain the 'ecosystem' here... Also, I spent some time in America/USA/New York, so I KNOW what good pizza & fried chicken really is, (and I can honestly say)... The pizza's here, are some of the best you'll ever have, and I've had in London/UK, but... In my experience... The Pizza's here are absolutely delicious, ONLY IF... - You don't go on a Wednesday (*Often their busiest time ,due to a special: "Any Pizza, Any Size" offer), etc. Which, TBH, is just £1 less for an Extra Large Pizza any other day, so... Really not worth the stress of going-in on a Wednesday, for sure! - Also... It helps IF... You're not rude or abusive (*like many customers I've personally witnessed) & actually treat the staff with some courtesy & respect, like human beings! - You know exactly what you want, and can 'articulate it', clearly, to a member of staff, (either over-the-phone, or in-person). - IE: If you don't want your pizza "burnt to a crisp" THEN... for God's sake = TELL THEM! aka: Say the words: "Please don't burn my pizza, i want it CHEESY! and not too well done, please", (and my pizza's are always EXCELLENT)! - Like other posters have said here, if you do go on a Wednesday when they have their "Any Pizza, Any Size" Offer for just £1-off an: Xtra Large Pizza (@ around: midday/evening), the staff are, of-course: 'SLAMMED' with an insane amount of orders (*and they do just "churn" them out quickly), and therefore; quality is severely affected! So... Maybe don't go on, a Wednesday night? Yes... For the love of God, if you want your pizza to be nice, don't go on a Wednesday (when the whole of South Harrow 'descends' upon this little shop). Exercise some common sense, and your Pizza's will be delicious! (Like mine!) FINALLY: It's a family business, and it doesn't hurt to tip them sometimes, (*if you can afford-to). Most of the staff here work insanely long hours, and on minimum wage, so a little respect goes a long way with this crew. - Yes, it's a business... - Yes, they're 'supposed-to' provide a good service, in exchange-for: cold. hard. cash. - However... They're also human. If you get the above criteria right, you can expect: -piping hot pizzas! -marbled to perfection! -gorgeous 'cheesy' pizza's that = 'melt-in-the-mouth' -And... a free pot of yummy garlic dip, with every pizza! -(In my experience they always use quality ingredients, have the softest/freshest dough, and the best quality cheeses)! *Tip: Pay £1 extra for some xtra cheese, and ask them not to brown the pizza too much, IE: (i just say = "Can i have it 'CHEESY' please!", and... Welcome to PIZZA BLISS! = You're Welcome! = (*I always go-for Xtra Large - (15 inch), thin crust, and with £1 extra cheese). **My pictures are of a 'Tandoori Special' pizza, thin crust, and... i paid £1 extra, for extra cheese aswell! YUM!!! I asked them not to brown my pizza too much and i like it 'cheezy'! My advice... Meet these guys 'halfway', (with a little dignity & respect), and... welcome to pizza HEAVEN! (People Skills)! Hope my review was helpful! A V. Happy Customer :)
