The Pizza Guys in Braintree mixes a classic pizza takeaway line-up with a few playful “not-very-Italian” specials, plus burgers, wings, loaded sides and proper dessert add-ons. If you like a menu where you can build a full night in, from pizza through to milkshakes and brownies, it’s very much set up for that.

Overview

The Pizza Guys is a local Braintree takeaway that puts pizzas front and centre, but it’s not limited to the usual Margherita-and-pepperoni routine. Alongside the familiar favourites, the menu includes several house pizzas that lean into kebab shop and burger bar flavours, with drizzle-style sauces and side dips that are designed to be part of the order, rather than an afterthought.

Beyond pizza, you’ll find a neatly organised spread of add-ons: chicken wings in a few styles, loaded fries and wedges, nuggets and chicken strips, plus a burger section and a short but useful salad list. There’s also a comfort-food corner with mac and cheese and a Korean-style crispy chicken option, and the sweet section is strong enough to be its own decision point, with brownies, school cake and customisable waffles.

What You Can Expect

Pizzas start with the basics and move quickly into more bespoke combinations. Traditional options include Margherita, Hawaiian (ham and pineapple), Farm House (ham and mushroom), plus a run of “takeaway favourites” like Hot N Spicy (red onion, pepperoni, jalapeño and spicy beef) and BBQ Chicken (mild chicken, BBQ sauce and sweetcorn). Seafood fans are catered for too, with options such as Sea Food (tuna, prawn and sliced tomato) and Tuna Delight (tuna, sweetcorn and red onion).

Where it gets more distinctive is in the signature-style pizzas built around non-traditional toppings and finishing sauces. A few that stand out for how they’re described:

The Masala Pizza, topped with masala chicken, chopped tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños and mozzarella, served with a mint yoghurt dip.

The Burger Pizza, using beef “ball chunks” with chopped tomatoes, red onion and gherkins, then finished with a burger sauce drizzle.

The Doner, topped with beef doner, chopped tomatoes, red onion and mozzarella, then finished after baking with garlic and herb plus sriracha.

There’s also a build-your-own pizza option that starts with cheese and tomato and includes a set number of free toppings, which is handy if you want to keep things simple for fussy eaters, or you’re ordering for a mixed group.

The menu leans into sides and “extras” as part of the main experience. You’ll see classic options like curly fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, jalapeño cream cheese poppers, chicken nuggets, chicken popcorn and chicken strippers. Fries and wedges can be ordered as plain or “loaded”, with the loaded versions described as coming with sauce, crispy onions and spring onions.

Wings have their own section, including BBQ chicken wings finished with spring onion and sesame seeds and topped with a BBQ and honey-style sauce, plus hot wings finished with Frank’s buffalo sauce. There’s also a roasted wing option that starts plain, then lets you choose a sauce.

What to Order

With so many moving parts, it helps to order in “builds” that match how the menu is designed.

1) The “not-Italian” pizza build
If you’re ordering here specifically for the house twists:

Start with The Doner (with garlic and herb plus sriracha drizzle), or The Burger Pizza (finished with burger sauce drizzle).

Add classic or loaded fries on the side to keep it takeaway-style.

Pick a dip to match the flavour direction, garlic and herb for the doner route, burger sauce for the burger route.

2) The spicy-and-crunchy build
For people who like a bit of heat and lots of texture:

Choose Hot N Spicy or Vegetarian Hot (jalapeño and veg).

Add jalapeño cream cheese poppers or mozzarella sticks.

Finish with hot wings for a second spicy element.

3) The comfort-food build
When you want something heavier and more “snackable”:

Order The Guy’s Mac & Cheese, described as mac and cheese pasta with a homemade creamy cheese sauce.

Add Korean Chicken K-POP, described as Korean-style crispy chicken topped with sweet honey BBQ sauce, spring onions and sesame seeds.

Round it out with loaded wedges so you’ve got something to dip and share.

4) The “deal night” build for groups
If you’re feeding a few people and want a structured spread:

Pick two pizzas plus a couple of sides and dips (the menu’s deals are built around exactly that format).

Add garlic pizza bread as the shared middle-of-the-table item.

Choose wings (BBQ or hot) as the “everyone grabs one” side.

To finish, the dessert list gives you a few clear directions. There are bigger homemade brownie options (including Biscoff and Cadbury versions), an old-school sponge “school cake” served with custard, plus customisable waffles and cake slices. If you want a drink-dessert combo, the milkshake section is built around 16oz options like Biscoff Dream, Chocolate Explosion, Mint Chocolate and Strawberry Bliss.

Dietary Options

There are clear vegetarian and vegan choices within the pizza section.

Vegetarian pizzas include a standard vegetable mix (mushrooms, sweetcorn, green peppers and red onions) and a hotter version that adds jalapeño. There’s also The Greek, which includes feta, mozzarella, olives, red onion, peppers and cherry tomatoes with herbs.

Vegan pizzas include The Vegan Margarita (plant-based cheddar cheese with tomato sauce) and The Vegan Veggie, which adds vegetables like onions, mushrooms, peppers, olives, sweetcorn and baby plum tomatoes, again with plant-based cheddar. There’s also a build-your-own vegan option starting with vegan cheese and tomato sauce.

For gluten-free, the menu notes that the gluten-free base is only available in a 12-inch size. It also flags an important detail: only the ham meat topping is gluten-free, and other meat toppings may contain gluten, even though they’re shown as selectable. That’s a useful call-out for anyone who needs to manage gluten carefully.

Beyond these notes, detailed allergen handling is Not stated.
