Dough arrived a day after expected, not sure if responsibility is with the courier or not.
Dough has made some nice pizzas fresh from the delivery so pleased with that.

Tasty, speedy and worth it!
Quick delivery, well packaged and a good price for the ease. Out of the freezer night before into a tuppaware / container to prove. Loads of semolina flour, makes a brilliant pizza! Used both the sourdough and classic and both lovely

What a great find
What a great find! Arrived so quickly, very fresh/on ice. Unfortunately it was raining so the pizza oven was a no go, the dough worked perfectly in the oven though. Delicious, crispy, crusty base, very happy, will defo order again!

Product great, service was easy and delivery-packaging spot on. Sourdough stretches well, better than I can make myself. Will use again.

Glad I tried it.
Hubbo makes dough every Friday. But heavy work schedule got me ordering from GBOF. Glad I tried it. I found it a bit heavy tbh. Like a light crispy base. Great service though.

Hi Moira
We are glad you gave us a go while the "Hubbo" was busy, and thank you for the kind words regarding the service.
Regarding the base, if the dough felt a bit heavy, it usually means it hasn't quite been pressed and stretched out to its full 10–12" potential. Our dough is designed to be stretched nice and thin to get that light, authentic finish in the oven.
Next time you fire up the oven, try working it out a little further to get that crispy base you’re after—it makes all the difference.
Best regards,
Team GBOF
Very poor customer service

Hi Mark
We are really sorry to hear about the trouble with your order and the experience you’ve had with our support. Having an order go missing is frustrating enough without feeling like you're being left in the dark.
Our team has been working right through the Bank Holiday weekend to clear a backlog of messages and get back to every single customer. If you haven't seen a resolution yet, it's certainly not because we’re ignoring the issue—we’ll always ensure a lost order is either replaced or refunded.
Please get in touch with us again or keep an eye on your inbox; we are prioritising missing orders and will make sure this is put right immediately.
Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted.
Best regards,
Team GBOF

Missed an item off my order, rather than offer to send it out they only offered a refund.

Hi Karl
We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with how we handled the missing item.
While we would love to be able to send out every individual item the moment it’s missed, as a small business, the logistics and environmental cost of shipping a single product separately make it very difficult to justify.
Our policy is to issue a refund for any missing items immediately so that you aren't out of pocket. It’s the most direct way we can resolve the error, though we appreciate it wasn’t the outcome you were hoping for on this occasion.
If there is anything else the team can do to help, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Kind regards,
Team GBOF

Hey Rowan
We are sorry to hear that your order wasn't right and that you didn't enjoy the dough.
We take a lot of pride in our 36-hour proofing process and using 100% Yorkshire-sourced ingredients to ensure a premium result, so it’s disappointing to hear we missed the mark for you this time.
If the order was wrong, we would like the chance to see where the mistake happened and put it right. Please reach out to the team directly with your order details so we can look into this further for you.
Kind regards,
Team GBOF

We are sorry to hear your order hasn't arrived yet and that you’re frustrated with the service.
We have been working hard to communicate that we're currently experiencing a backlog, with alerts on our homepage banner, our delivery page, and within the order confirmation emails to flag the 2–3 day delay. We do our best to make these lead times as clear as possible so there are no surprises, but we appreciate it’s still a pain when you're waiting on your dough.
Please rest assured that we are working through orders as quickly as possible. Keep an eye on your inbox for a dispatch notification, which will be sent the moment the courier has your parcel.
Thanks for your patience while we get back on track.
Kind regards,
Team GBOF
Not to be trusted
You didn’t deliver my order, told me it was my fault, although the address was sufficient for others to make deliveries. The delivery agent said it failed to deliver on an e mail at 7.30am yet their van delivered something else here at lunchtime so they clearly didn’t try.
I was then told as the delivery had been returned to the supplier (clearly not true as they are too far away to have got it back within 3 hours of the delivery failure) and had spoiled so I needed to pay again.

Hi Robin
We are sorry to hear about the trouble with your delivery.
When an address is missing a house number and uses a house name that isn't registered on the Royal Mail system, it makes it incredibly difficult for a courier to complete the drop. While other drivers might have found you before, couriers generally rely strictly on the official database. We would recommend getting in touch with the council and Royal Mail to ensure your house name is formally added to their systems to avoid this happening with future orders.
Regarding the return, once a courier marks a fresh product as "undeliverable," it cannot be redirected or safely sent back out. Because our dough is a fresh, temperature-sensitive product, it spoils if it isn't delivered within the specific transit window. This is why a new order is required, as the original stock is no longer fit for use.
If you’d like to discuss this further or need help getting the address details updated for a future attempt, please get in touch with the team directly.
Kind regards,
Team GBOF
Delivery said next day if ordered…
Delivery said next day if ordered before 12 I did order at 12 on Thursday so allowed an extra day did not arrive until following Wednesday. This was required for a family pizza party on sunday so we were most disappointed. Didn’t order the dough we wanted as that had a warning regarding delivery but the item I selected didn’t have this

Hey Sam
We can totally appreciate the frustration here, especially when you’ve planned a family pizza party around a delivery. We’re really sorry we missed the occasion for you.
To keep things fair during this busy period, we made the decision to dispatch all orders sequentially rather than bumping certain orders up the queue. While we updated our website and delivery pages to inform everyone that all orders would be subject to a 2–3 day delay, it sounds like that message wasn't clear enough on the specific item you selected. We'll certainly look at how we can make these alerts even more prominent across every product page to avoid this happening again.
We’d love the chance to get some dough to you for your next gathering. Please reach out to the team directly so we can make this right for you.
Kind regards,
Team GBOF
Really disappointed with the service
Really disappointed with the service, placed our order on Saturday 25th April and paid £10.49 for delivery with it due to arrive on Tuesday in time for a family party. It finally arrived today Friday 1st of May and the dough is warm! We weren’t made aware of any delays when ordering and only now see a message on the web page advising of delays. I received a notification on Sunday 26th saying my order was ready to ship??? I was really looking forward to using this company and would urge them to improve communication and find a better courier!

Hey Richard
We are really sorry to hear that the timing didn't work out for your family party and that the dough didn't arrive in the condition we expect.
We’ve been working hard to flag our current 2–3 day backlog across the site, including on our delivery page and order confirmation emails, but we appreciate it’s incredibly frustrating when an order misses a specific event. The notification you received on Sunday was to let you know your order had been processed and queued for packing; however, the actual transit time clearly took longer than it should have.
Regarding the temperature, it is very unusual for the dough to arrive warm, even with a delay, as our packaging is designed to maintain the right environment for fresh transit. We’ll certainly be looking into this with our courier, as that doesn’t meet our standards at all.
Please get in touch with the team directly so we can look into the transit logs and find a way to make this right for you.
Kind regards,
Team GBOF
Really wanted to like this company
Really wanted to like this company, the marketing and messaging is spot on but the actual ordering and delivery experience has been extremely poor. Chose and paid for nominated day delivery which was ignored, can’t get any response out of anyone (5 days to acknowledge my email and the response was abrupt and unhelpful), asked for an escalation and got a response that simply said my order was in its way, not addressing anything I’d asked. Order then finally arrived and there’s items missing - and good luck trying to get a response out of the company. Clearly under pressure and struggling to keep up with demand, but it’s been a very poor experience and the limited responses from the company are lacking in any ownership, empathy, or resolutions. Real shame.

Hey Matt
We're really sorry to hear we’ve let you down. You’re right—our mission is to get everyone a seat at the table, but on this occasion, we didn't even get the table laid for you.
We’ve recently been hit with a massive surge in demand that caught us off guard. While that’s no excuse for the lack of communication or the missing items, it’s the reality of where we are as we scale up. We clearly missed the mark on the "effortless" part of our service this time around.
We’d like to personally make this right and ensure you get the full experience you were looking for. Could you please reach out to us directly? We’ll make sure those missing items are sorted and that we take full ownership of the fix.
We appreciate that we dropped the ball on this occasion and are working hard to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Team GBOF
Very poor service - unreliable
The website offered me a delivery for Friday when I ordered on the wednesday - they then delivered the following Tuesday nearly a week later missing the party i ordered for. When i complained they have a ridiculous AI response that cant actually do anything - when i finally got a human they were pretty much computer says no to any kind of refund for the goods i didn't need as i had to buy from a shop that had stock. Don't recommend them unless you ordering weeks in advance and have alot of freezer space.

Hi Christ
We are really sorry we missed the mark for your party. We know how frustrating it is when plans are held up, especially when you've had to head out to the shops to find a backup at the last minute.
While we did have a banner live on the site and our delivery page updated to flag the 2–3 day delays, we clearly didn't make that obvious enough during the checkout process if you were still expecting a Friday arrival. That’s on us, and we appreciate the feedback regarding our automated responses; we’re working hard to make sure our human support is as helpful and empathetic as possible when things don't go to plan.
We’d like to take another look at this for you and find a fair way to put it right. Please reach out to us directly so we can resolve the refund situation properly.
Thanks for your patience while we get back on track.
