Pizza shop owner's brutal 7-word reply to customer's bad Just Eat review

A pizza joint owner left customers stunned after their snappy comebacks to unhappy Just Eat customer.

After The Pizza Shop in Middlesbrough received some bad reviews, the restaurant's boss took it into their hands to hit back at any negative comments.

The Linethorpe Road takeaway has more than 2,700 reviews, with an overwhelming amount being positive and described the shop as being "spot on" or having "great service".

However, as is often the case, opinions differed for other eaters, Teesside Live reports.

And when the shop's quality was questioned, its owner didn't follow the mantra of "the customer is always right" and hit back at multiple reviewers.

On one occasion, one customer who left a bad comment was called "Mr Owt for nowt", as well as Delia Smith or Gordon Ramsey.

In one response, the shop described how the comebacks are always "tongue in cheek" - and try to be "honest and straightforward."

One person who took issue with the pizza shop said the food was "stale and cold", despite being delivered on time and having a lovely drama.

They added the parmo dish came with only 10 chips.

In response, The Pizza Shop said: "You got your food fresh and hot. Also didn't realise we had an expert food critic who counts the chips in her food.

"Next time you order we will send you 20 chips. All you have done to whinge about everything you even counted the chicken parmo bits."

A different reviewer claimed the parmo was "dry" and that it felt like they were "chewing on cardboard".

In a sharp reply, the venue hit bacl: "Stop please exaggerating. Parmo was cooked through the oven so what you saying about cheese is impossible.

"Also, I've never chewed on cardboard that's a strange habit."

Another one-star review was responded to with: "There's always one who spoils it".

Other snappy comebacks from the pizza shop included the owner joking a family kebab wouldn't feed an entire family, asking if the customer had thought about going into acting, calling a customer Gordon Ramsey after their criticism and saying one customers mood was "off", unlike their cakes.
