I was recently offered a £10 voucher in exchange for a review of takeaway.com, and on Monday after a nice relaxing day, my fiancé and I decided to use the voucher to order pizza.

The takeaway.com website is really simple to use, and is pretty much foolproof, as you are guided through a four stage ordering process.  On the homepage you are met with a text box for you to enter your postcode, and once you hit search you are given a list of takeaways that are registered on the site, and which deliver to your home.  My postcode brings up 34 results, and you can choose which type of cuisine you specifically want, so there are plenty of options to choose from.  There’s even an option to only show vegetarian takeaways, which for veggies like me is particularly useful!

Once you’ve made your choice (we went for a local pizza place we’d never tried before called Tushba Pizza), you are shown the full menu for the takeaway, including any meal deals or special offers, as well as delivery costs, the minimum amount for delivery, and the payment methods they accept.

Tushba does buy one get one free on all pizzas, which is great as it meant my carnivorous fiancé could have a meaty option whilst I settled for their vegetarian pizza.  We also ordered a large portion of chips to share, and the whole lot came to just under £14.  To add items to your order, you just hit the ‘+’ symbol next to the item, which then lets you choose how many you want of each thing.  Then, when you’ve added everything you want, you can submit your order.

The next and final page is where you enter your delivery address and payment details, and you can also pick a time for your order to arrive (we opted for asap as we were very hungry!), plus any ‘remarks’.  I assume this is where you tell them if your doorbell is broken or which buzzer to press, but you could always ask them to draw a face on your pizza box or something…

The whole ordering process only takes a few minutes, and is incredibly fuss-free, so you can just sit back and relax and wait for your feast to arrive!  Our order arrived in about half an hour which is pretty good timing.  The food itself was hot, looked amazing and tasted delicious.  The portions were also very generous, so much so that I couldn’t eat all of my pizza in one go so I had a cold pizza lunch the next day – yum!

Overall, our experience with takeaway.com was a positive one, and we’d definitely use the website AND Tushba Pizza again.
