Jake was more helpful than any bar staff me ever I have ever had. He was was very sweet about showing me how to engage with the company and better still he showed me how to express my concerns with the bar. However as polite as he was he maintaining complete professionalism, I would most definitely visit again xx

This is my second time at this establishment and my god I have had such different experiences both times. The food I ordered on my second visit was absolutely tragic. I have enough experience with frozen pizza to know that the pizza I was served was a Chicago town stuffed crust pizza, 3 times the price than it can be bought frozen from any supermarket. Also my friend asked for a shot after looking at one of the student deals which included shots and was then told that they didn't have shot glasses. Also the two terrible frozen pizzas weren't even cooked properly, as you can view in the picture one of the pizzas has been covered in the burnt bottom of an oven and my own personal pizza has stiff bits of styrofoam. Really disappointed and not to mention the rudeness of the staff, absolute disaster and you'd be lucky seeing me or my group coming back here.

However, what truly sets Riley's apart is its exceptional service, epitomized by the one and only Alfie.It was a chilly evening when I decided to treat myself to a savory pizza from Riley's. Little did I know, this would turn into a remarkable culinary experience, all thanks to Alfie's extraordinary service.As I placed my order over the phone, I couldn't help but notice Alfie's cheerful demeanor, even through the static of the line. He took my order with precision, making sure to note every detail of my preferences. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of Alfie's impeccable service.When the time came for delivery, I eagerly awaited the arrival of my pizza. To my surprise, Alfie himself was at my doorstep, carrying a steaming hot box of culinary delight. His smile was infectious as he handed over the pizza, radiating genuine warmth and hospitality.But it wasn't just Alfie's demeanor that left a lasting impression—it was his attention to detail. Despite the bustling city streets, Alfie had ensured that my pizza arrived piping hot and perfectly intact. It was evident that he took great pride in his work, going above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction.As I took my first bite of the pizza, I was transported to a culinary paradise. The flavors danced on my palate, each bite more tantalizing than the last. It was clear that Riley's spared no expense when it came to quality ingredients and meticulous preparation.Only bizzare moment was when Alfie yelled to his colleague… ACKNOWLEDGE ME… which I thought was pretty funnyIn the end, my experience at Riley's was nothing short of magical, all thanks to the exceptional service of Alfie.
