Pizza King

Pizza King is a long-running independent takeaway on the Selly Oak side of Birmingham, a handy stop for students and families along the busy main route heading south out of the city. It is best known for its build-it-yourself approach, where the Create Your Own Pizza option lets you stack toppings exactly how you like them, backed up by burgers, kebabs and the usual late-night extras.

Feedback is mixed across delivery platforms, but it holds a respectable 4.2/5 on one major ordering app, with fans pointing to fair value and quick service when the area is heaving. Portions are aimed squarely at hungry appetites, and the menu sticks to crowd-pleasing comfort food rather than anything fancy. Vegetarians can put together a meat-free pizza without trouble, though vegans should check the topping and base options first. For anyone living or studying nearby who wants a customisable pizza fix without venturing far, it is a practical, no-frills choice.
