Herbies Pizza & Burger's

Speedy, Friendly Delivery with Delicious Fare

Occasionally, amid the clamour of London's sprawling gastronomic landscape, there emerges a gem which, like a good novel or an unpretentious bottle of Chianti, you simply cannot put down. From a humble perch within reach of a local Premier Inn, this rather unremarkable-sounding pizza joint presents a testament to culinary efficiency and unembellished goodness that sometimes populates hungry daydreams. Imagine: keen for something reliable after a grueling day navigating the city's maze, one turns to the comfort of sofa-oriented dining, only for expectations to be soundly, joyously exceeded.

Ordering is child's play—indeed it could possibly be entrusted to your lowest-brained relation on a foggy evening—and the delivery? It performs the remarkable circus trick of arriving ahead of its time. As for the chef, an enticing scent precedes their arrival, offering a bubbly, saucy slab of nostalgia that will have you clutching slices as though they were long-lost loves. While an evening's fare conjured within the confines of a budget-friendly chain hotel may typically set alarms of regret ringing, there's no surprise, just a reassurance warmly reminiscent of home. This spot has characters like warmth, geniality, and reasonable prices threaded right through it—the charming en passport delight that everyone doesn't realize they quite need until it's adorning the duvet-spread tablecloth of their travel-weary space. — Penelope Savory
