Pizza Planet

Pizza Planet is a busy, late-opening takeaway in the Denton Holme part of Carlisle, catering to the after-work and after-dark crowd with a sprawling menu of comfort food. Pizzas are the headline act — from a simple Margherita Pizza to loaded specials — but the kitchen also fires out kebabs, burgers, fried chicken and stuffed wraps, so a mixed group rarely struggles to agree. The signature Doner Kebab is a popular shout for anyone after something hearty to round off an evening.

It is firmly a fast-food, order-in kind of place rather than a sit-down one, and that is exactly its appeal: hot, generous and quick when hunger strikes. Reviews are mixed, as they often are for high-volume takeaways, with most of the praise going to the variety and the value of the bigger deals. If you want one kitchen that can knock out pizza for some and a kebab or burger for others without a second order, it is a convenient catch-all for this corner of the city, with delivery covering the surrounding streets.
