Why will the website not let me register?

It is possible you already have an account registered with us using that email address and password.  If so please attempt to log in as an existing customer on the log in screen.

Why am I unable to log in?

This would most likely be due to you not having an active registered account, an incorrect password or a non-registered email address.  Please ensure you have registered and if you are a returning customer do not attempt to register again with the same details as this will fail.

What do I do if I’ve forgotten my password?

On the log in screen there is a link beneath the returning customer section with ‘forgotten password?’ written.  Click on the link and then enter your email address.  You will be sent an email explaining how you can reset your password.

Where is my order?

We have been made aware that during busy periods it may take up to 10 working days for delivery in some areas. Unfortunately this is something that is out of our control and very much depends on their current staffing levels and the volume of parcels they are processing. The vast majority of parcels are still being delivered within their usual 3-5 working day, but we would ask you for your patience during these difficult times.

What are delivery options for outside Mainland UK?

If you wish to order a product to be delivered to another country or outside of Mainland UK, please call us on 0115 9894254 and we will be happy to provide you with a quotation.

Any orders placed for overseas delivery that are made directly through our website will be placed on hold and we will attempt to contact the buyer to ensure the correct postage is paid for and applied to the order.

Do you offer next day delivery?

Yes, Next/Named Day delivery service is available based on our current lead times. Estimated dispatch dates (when your order is handed over to our delivery partners) are now included on the delivery page during checkout, to help you decide which method is best for you.

Our team will always endeavour to keep to this date where possible, however there may be occasions where this is carried over to the next working day due to situations out of our control.

Do you offer specific day delivery?

Yes – Nominated day delivery is available at £5.95 for single items or £6.95 for multiple items.

Please note, whilst every effort will be made by our delivery partners to deliver on your nominated day, there may be occasions where this may not be possible, i.e Extreme weather conditions and/ or where a delivery has been attempted, but no-one answered the door to accept the delivery. In these cases, Our delivery partners should contact you directly and/or leave a calling card and will aim to try again on the next working day.

How do I send my order to a friend at an address other than my own?

During step 1 of checkout you will find the address page. If you wish to deliver to a different address simply tick the box then insert the address.

What if I want to send orders out to multiple addresses?

Can I order online and collect?

Yes of course. For all those using our click and collect service through the website, please wait for collection until after 2pm if possible, unless an alternative arrangement has been made for you. This is to ensure that your order has enough time to be produced and packaged prior to collection.

Upon arrival, we ask all customers to give us a call and then remain in your car where one of our team will bring the order directly to you to help minimise contact during the collection process. We appreciate your understanding and co-operation with these measures.

Adverse Weather Conditions

Dietary and allergen information is available on the individual product pages by clicking on the ‘Ingredients’ tab.  If you do require further information, we would ask that you send us an email at customerservice@gourmetchocolatepizza.co.uk or call us on 0115 989 4254.

Do your pizzas and gifts contain nuts?

We produce a wide variety of chocolate pizzas and gifts, some of which do contain nuts as their main ingredients. Although, as a rule we try to avoid the use of peanuts in our factory, we unfortunately cannot guarantee that all of our supply chain is free from peanuts, and all of our finished products are made in an environment that uses other nuts, such as hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts.

For your reference, all of our products are labelled with a “may contain traces of nuts” allergen warning. If you would like any further information, please don’t hesitate to drop us an email or give us a call on 0115 989 4254. 

I can see that some of your products contain E-numbers, is this something to be concerned about?

Some of our products do contain E-numbers, especially those that include a printed plaque. Please note, the E-numbers listed in the ingredients are often used in trace amounts, or as part of the decoration, however they may have an adverse effect on children if consumed in large quantities.  

Is the range suitable for vegans?

We believe our dark chocolate is suitable for vegans, however as it is made in the same environment as our milk chocolate we cannot guarantee it is free from milk traces. Please see our vegan-friendly page for all vegan products

How many slices is each size pizza cut into?

Our 7″ and 10″ pizzas are cut into 8 slices, and our 4″ minis are moulded into 6 easily snappable slices – making them perfect for sharing!

What is the best way of storing my chocolate products once they have arrived?

Chocolate should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat.
