Istanbul Pizza House

Istanbul Pizza House on Front Street in Pelton is the Turkish-style pizza, kebab and chicken takeaway in the Pelton village centre north-west of Chester-le-Street. The shop's own site (istanbulpizzahousedh2.co.uk) lists chicken tikka and tandoori chicken pizzas alongside donner kebabs, with reviewers singling out generous toppings and the chicken pizzas in particular; the kitchen carries the halal label on its own and aggregator listings.

Aggregator volumes are substantial — around 4.2/5 across 1,000+ ratings on the shop's own site, 4.98/6 on Just Eat across ~679 reviews, and similar on menu.reviews. The shop currently carries a Food Hygiene Rating of 2 ("Improvement Necessary") from the August 2024 inspection — worth noting honestly alongside the popularity of the food. Collection from Front Street; local delivery within the Pelton area.
