Dinos Take Away

Dinos is one of the longer-running independent pizza and kebab shops on Nottingham Road in Ripley, sat a couple of doors from Classic Canton at the Park Corner end of the road. It is a small, busy shop that has built up a reliable local following on the pizza-burger-kebab middle ground.

The menu is pizza-led — margherita through pepperoni, BBQ chicken, meat-feast and the standard house specials in two or three sizes — alongside burgers, doner and shish kebabs, southern-fried chicken, munch boxes and the usual sides. Reviewers single out the generous portion sizes and the fast turn-round on collection orders; deliveries through Uber Eats and the other aggregator apps typically arrive inside thirty to forty-five minutes in normal conditions.

It is one of the Nottingham Road shops that runs through the standard late-evening peak and catches the household-mixed-order trade — a pizza for the kids, a kebab for whoever wants one — without the volume pressure of the Park Corner late-night kebab houses. For collection on the drive back along Nottingham Road, it is one of the obvious stops.
