As far as I'm aware there aren't any proper Italian takeaways that deliver in my area. The local Prezzo do take out but my car is in for repair so that option was out the window.
I found Italian Job Express via Just Eat and their menu sounded like what I'd been looking for. Pizza, pasta, focaccia, Italian inspired starters and burgers. I was torn between the sausage pizza and a carbonara but in the end pizza won. It always does. My other half ordered an Italian burger made from sausage meat and we got a rosemary focaccia to share.
Delivery was pretty quick at around 40 minutes and I was really looking forward to some good Italian food.
That is not what I got. What I got was a poor imitation. My sausage and mushroom pizza was completely devoid of a base sauce which made the cheese taste plasticky and feel squeaky to bite into. There were plenty of mushrooms but the sausage was on the sparse side. The dough was incredibly dry and dense.
Our "focaccia" wasn't really a focaccia at all. It was a garlic pizza bread with some rosemary thrown on. Despite being a bit cold it tasted nice. You can't really go wrong with those flavours.
My husband loved his Italian burger though. He had such a different experience of this place but when I offered him a slice of my pizza he agreed with me on all counts.
There was pretty much nothing authentic about the Italian food from this place. The pizza tastes like one you would order from an Indian restaurant, which I never do, and the focaccia was tasty but NOT a real focaccia bread.
It looks like my wait for truly authentic Italian delivery in the East End is still on. -

Awful service.
I placed my order on Just Eat and was told to expect it an hour later. An hour and a half later I called up to find out when I'd be receiving my order only to be told that they hadn't received it, even though I had an email confirmation AND a pending direct debit from my account. I have order from this take away before without a problem but they were clearly not up for helping and tried to pass the blame to the website. They took my money but didn't even apologise or send out another delivery! I will not be ordering from here again and I would recommend that you steer well clear of this place!
