A North East pizza shop has had people laughing and left others furious after sendng sarcastic and sharp responses to unhappy customers on Just Eat.

After The Pizza Shop in Middlesbrough were sent bad reviews, the restaurant's boss made it their mission to respond personally to the criticism.

The Linethorpe Road takeaway has more than 2,700 reviews, with an overwhelming amount being positive and described the shop as being 'spot on' or having 'great service'.

However, some others didn't find their meal from the restaurant up to scratch.

On one occasion, one customer who left a bad comment was called 'Mr Owt for nowt', as well as Delia Smith or Gordon Ramsey.

One person who took issue with the pizza shop said the food was 'stale and cold', despite being delivered on time and having a lovely drama.

They added the parmo dish came with only ten chips.

In response, The Pizza Shop said: 'You got your food fresh and hot. Also didn't realise we had an expert food critic who counts the chips in her food.

'Next time you order we will send you 20 chips. All you have done to whinge about everything you even counted the chicken parmo bits.'

A different reviewer claimed the parmo was 'dry' and that it felt like they were 'chewing on cardboard'.

The venue hit back: 'Stop please exaggerating. Parmo was cooked through the oven so what you saying about cheese is impossible.

'Also, I've never chewed on cardboard that's a strange habit.'

Another one-star review was responded to with: 'There's always one who spoils it'.

Other snappy comebacks from the pizza shop included the owner joking a family kebab wouldn't feed an entire family, asking if the customer had thought about going into acting, calling a customer Gordon Ramsey.
