Crave Ilford

Compared to the Brick Lane one which we loved, the visit here was shocking. We were the only customers. There was no welcome. The seating area was filthy. The ingredients they use was left in the seating area including boxes of cheese which you can see in one of the pictures. There is no door leading to the toilet door. The tables were filthy. It's nothing like the pictures uploaded on here from three years ago. They simply do not care enough about people and the freshness of the food they are serving.

When Crave first opened, it instantly became my favourite pizza spot. Their Tandoori Fusion Detroit Pizza was honestly unbeatable, nothing else came close. It’s been a while since I last ordered, so I decided to treat myself today, but unfortunately the quality just wasn’t there anymore. The base was more like thick bread, there was barely any sauce, it tasted dry, and the toppings felt sparse. Overall, a real disappointment, especially considering how incredible it used to be. I don’t usually write reviews, but I’m hoping the owners take this feedback seriously and bring back the original quality and taste that made Crave stand out in the first place. If things go back to how they were, I’d happily return, but for now, I’m not sure I can.

I can’t say enough good things about Crave Pizza! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with friendly services. The pizzas are absolutely top-notch—perfectly crisp crust, generous toppings, and a great balance of flavors. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. Their sides and dipping sauces are just as delicious, and the portions are definitely worth the price. It’s become my go-to spot whenever I’m craving pizza. If you’re looking for great food, excellent service, Crave Pizza is the place to be. Highly recommend! 🍕
