Food Temple

Food Temple is a small pizza-led takeaway on the central Hilltown, trading from the same Williamson Street junction unit that houses the long-running Chinese carry-out. The kitchen is set up for a broad menu rather than a single line — pizzas in the 12- and 14-inch sizes lead, with risotto, kebabs, hot dogs, baguettes, paninis, rolls, soups and a burger sideline running through the rest of the card.

The shop trades evenings into the late hours with a slightly earlier start at weekends, drawing collection trade from the immediate Hilltown closes and a delivery radius (with a £10 order minimum) that reaches across the upper Stobswell and Coldside terraces. Just Eat reviews on the Food Temple record run into the low thousands, with regulars singling out the freshness of the pizza dough and the homemade-style finishing on the toppings; the aggregator pages also carry the usual mixed comments about delivery times at peak slots. For DD3 households who want something other than the Chinese or Indian side of the hill's takeaway scene, Food Temple is one of the busier pizza-and-grill options.
