House of Salad

Restaurant

😠 Ordered a take away vegetarian pizza. Worst pizza I’ve ever had ! Raw vegetables,raw onion, dough was not cooked through and the mushrooms were not even cut up. When we called up to talk to the manager he took it personal and didn’t take any responsibility for the poorly made food. Never going back... People often mention pizza, service, great, staff, restaurant, pizzas, Great, friendly, delicious, excellent,

When we called up to talk to the manager he took it personal and didn’t take any responsibility for the poorly made food. Never going back and recommending no one to go there. If I could give this place half a star I would.

    We had an awful experience, the whole place was stinky and the service was terrible.

    Very poor customer service and the quality of the food is just horrible. Cannot understand why people would buy from them. The bathrooms are as awful as the food.

    I walk pass this shop regularly and has been wandering for a long time why there is a repulsive odour around this place, until now that I was told this place doesn't take care of their bin properly. In my opinion, they are not trustworthy especially when it comes to hygiene. If someone doesn't care about their rubbish bin, who knows what they put in their food and how they prepare it.

    Very tasty meal, fresh pizza with an excellent base and high quality toppings and a lamb salad, also made from super fresh and tasty ingredients.

    We received our first pizza with almost no cheese, almost raw vegetables and the dough in the centre still raw. When this was politely shared, the manager thanked me for the feedback and said it’s the best he could do. Needless to say we won’t be returning to the Salad on Pizza-Dough House.

    One of the worst restaurant I have ever been. Look like they have enough customers so don’t want any new ones. specially the guy with beard and ugly mustach doesn’t know how to talk with customers.

    My 9 year old daughter wanted to order her own meal over the phone. She called house of salad during a busy period. The women on the other end of the phone quickly recognised it was a child, stopped what she was doing and gave her full attention. Explained the difference between the pastas on the menu etc. I was listening on the other end and was very impressed. This phone call could have gone two ways. Either cut my daughters confidence down, or built her up. My daughter was so proud after ordering her own dinner, which is massive for a young ladies growth. Thank you house of salad. Not only is your food excellent, but your customer service and experience is second to none.

    Hit and miss. I've tried the lasagna here and it's been excellent but the pizzas have let me down multiple times. The one tonight was extremely bland

    Came here for dinner with my partner. The food was delicious, tasted fresh and was cooked to perfection. As good as the food was, it was the service that impressed me most. The two servers I interacted with were friendly and attentive. They seemed to magically appear whenever we needed them and did a great job of making us feel cared for and special. I will definitely be returning again and recommending this restaurant to all my friends!

    We had an absolutely lovely spontaneous dinner here on a Wednesday night. Cosy atmosphere, warm and attentive staff and the food was amazing. Highly recommend the gnocchi bolognese and Californian pizza (gluten free base was delicious). Would travel here from Docklands again anytime!

    Found hair and a fly on 2 separate occasions, they where nice about it and offered to make new food. This was a few years ago so they may have changed for the better, pizza was fine nothing life changing.

    The most helpful and generous staff? Probably. I go here all the time and am always happy with what I get. Don't let the name fool you, their pasta and pizzas are awesome. We sometimes (often) get chocolate mousse on the way home after a late night meeting. Always hits the spot. Great service and great food. Families very welcome.

    Nice food and not just salad

  • 5/5 Tim J. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a lovely dinner with friends here last night ordered 3 large pizzas and a salad. The salad was fresh and crisp with lots of flavour and colour, the pizzas were delicious and generous in size. The favourite was the house special with a little bit of everything, cooked to perfection in their wood fire oven and went down a treat. I would highly recommend house of Salad to anyone.

  • 5/5 David K. 4 years ago on Google
    Best pizzas ever

  • 5/5 Damon E. 3 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Ellis G. 1 year ago on Google • 2 reviews
    After receiving the wrong pizza I called to notify the restaurant that a mistake occurred. Mistakes happen, that is ok! Rather then apologising for the mix up the male owner started yelling at me and insisted I was lying. I have never in my life been spoken to in such an aggressive manner. For years I have supported this business but after the way I was treated I sadly can’t support them anymore. The younger staff are extremely accomodating and kind! Management should follow their lead and treat customers with a bit more respect.
