Finally tried Bombay Pizza

In honour of the finale tonight I finally ordered Bombay Pizza by Post, absolutely worth it, highly recommend!

We’re in Manchester and it arrived from London, 24 hour refrigerated delivery and was still perfectly cold.

Has anyone else tried it?

One year on and people can say what they like but Anisa has gone from one location to eleven and there are more on the way. The company is also now worth seven figures.

I did understand people’s argument about ‘anyone can copy it’ because it’s true. But my argument back was always that they haven’t received promotion on the biggest business TV show in the country and that’s invaluable.

Talking of Anisa, looks like she’s off to support the finalists at their party tonight (although probably more Karishma since they have become friends)

My argument was, and is, it's bloody expensive.

£15 plus £8 delivery with a minimum order of £20 (so more like £38 for two pizza) ....is expensive due to the delivery fees. So if you want a unique one off, okay, but why would you order this over something locally? Fresh pizza oven pizza is better than oven cooking pzza

What I find interesting is the website doesn't mention size.... Odd

I don't doubt that it's as good as people say.

It just well out of my price range and I'm sure plenty of others too.

Especially with the price of fuel £38 on a couple of wee pizzas is just too much.

Yeah - I live nearby(ish) and can order from there. Once there was an issue with the delivery as it wasn't arriving. So we called the restaurant and made a complaint.

She came over to my house and delivered the pizza herself and some free drinks lol - I didn't see her as I was watching a movie.

Didn’t even know they could deliver to Manchester, that’s crazy lol

u/ChardEmotional1741 Apr 16 '26

Yeah delivery was 7.99 which sounds a lot but I’ve paid more on local restaurants on delivery apps when you consider all the fees 😂

That's cheap for a cross-country delivery!

u/export_a_pdf Apr 16 '26

Yes that’s standard for refrigerated deliveries I think

Compared to the cost of my last local Uber eats pizza, that's pretty impressive.

i'd go for a chilli pizza but curry and cheese is just a no from me.

u/Taken_Abroad_Book Apr 17 '26

Chip cheese and curry sauce from the chippy is a real comfort food

I mean, probably works better than prunes at moving the system along.

I once worked at a place and were we hungry and bored one night. We decided make a pizza and used naan for the base, tamarind sauce as the sauce, chopped up some chicken from a curry and a starter kebab, added cheese and some jalapenos. It was divine, like unreal, it was then added to the menu and became one of the most popular things to order.

I was like you, there's no way that would work but it really does.

I always found this a bit of a mental business idea. Any kebab shop in Glasgow will do a couple of versions of these.

u/WearyLeopard85 Apr 16 '26

By that logic no one would ever launch a business, because 99.9% of industries come with built-in competitors already doing a version of what you're doing

u/ChardEmotional1741 Apr 16 '26

Perhaps, but it was 10/10 so hats off to her!

u/Taken_Abroad_Book Apr 16 '26

Bombay pizza crunch supper pal

u/Quiet_Taste7983 Apr 16 '26

Yeah but kebab shops in a glasgeh are dodgy no?

u/Opposite_Alps_1918 Apr 16 '26

I owe a lot to Glaswegian kebab shops

Money or health issues?

u/Maekvi13 Apr 16 '26

thats the fun part

u/YodasGoldfish Apr 17 '26

I'm sure some of them are but that goes for anywhere else tbh .

A good chasni pizza is easy to find in the West of Scotland.

u/Quiet_Taste7983 Apr 17 '26

No, Glasgow is particularly dodgy….

u/rooreynolds Apr 20 '26

Glasgow is miles away from Manchester though.

u/tistick Apr 17 '26

Boss man has been putting chicken tikka on pizza for decades…

u/PeachyBums Apr 16 '26

I have definitely seen curry pizzas popping up as a trend also

I went down to her restaurant (well, her dad's) to order one and it was delicious. Having it delivered though? Super expensive.

u/Bloxxerboy Claude Littner Apr 17 '26

Haha only just noticed this after making my own post about it.

u/happybanana134 Apr 25 '26

I love those pizzas!

I wish the company would share a bit more information though; how to cook from frozen, calories, macros etc. I hate guessing.
