Pizza King

Pizza King sits on Park Corner at the top of Nottingham Road in Ripley, a short walk east of the Market Place. It is a straightforward independent pizza and kebab takeaway built around the standard menu the area expects — a long list of pizzas in three or four sizes, garlic bread and dough-ball starters, a kebab section, burgers, chicken wings, wraps, and the usual sides and dips.

The shop runs its own online ordering through its website and also lists on the main aggregator apps, with collection from the counter on Park Corner and delivery across central Ripley, Codnor and the immediate Amber Valley estates. It is the sort of operation that runs hard on weekend evenings and is set up for volume rather than fuss — the kitchen turns orders round quickly and the team is geared to phone and online orders rather than walk-in dwell time.

For a quick pizza and chips run on the drive home from Ripley town centre, it is one of the more visible options on the Nottingham Road corridor.
