Hi Matthew
Thank you so much for the high recommendation! It is always incredibly frustrating when the delivery networks have a hiccup, but we pride ourselves on getting things sorted as quickly as humanly possible so your pizza night doesn't suffer.
It's great to hear that our customer service team resolved it swiftly and, most importantly, that you loved the dough once it arrived 🧡🔥🍕

Hi
We are really sorry to hear that you had a leaky jar!
We securely tighten everything before it leaves our hands, but the constant bumping and vibration of the courier network can sometimes jiggle a lid loose along the way. It is a rare annoyance, but definitely not what you want to find when you are getting ready for pizza night!
We want to make sure you aren't left out of pocket. Please reach out to our support team so we can put this right for you. Thanks for being so understanding and leaving 4 stars despite the hiccup!

When things go wrong...
It's when things go wrong that you get to see how good your supplier is...
My shipment of dough got held up by the courier company. For three days. It sat in a van and was ruined when it arrived. I'd ordered it to arrive in time for my son's 18th birthday. He'd chosen a pizza party in the garden for his group of friends.
I'd contacted GBOF as soon as I became aware of the delay. I was contacted by Steph, who was incredibly helpful in resolving the situation. Once we were certain the dough was not going to arrive on time or in good order, Steph put another shipment on an overnight delivery to ensure the day was saved. And she also followed up to make sure everything went to plan.
Such amazing customer service is hard to find!
Well done Steph and GBOF!

Hi Ted
That could've been a major doughsaster and what an absolute rollercoaster! There is nothing more frustrating than watching a courier tracking link stall - especially when an 18th birthday party is on the line.
We are absolutely thrilled that Steph was able to step in and save the day. She is a massive credit to the team, and we will make sure she sees this brilliant feedback. We firmly believe that how you handle the bumps in the road is what really matters, so we are incredibly proud that she got that overnight replacement sorted and checked in to make sure it all went smoothly.
We are so glad the fresh batch arrived in time and the garden party was a success.
A massive Happy 18th to your son!

Hey Mark
Thanks so much for the 5 stars! We are really pleased that the box arrived safely and so quickly.
We put a lot of care into our packing to make sure your dough reaches you in top condition, so it is brilliant to hear it did exactly that. We cannot wait for you to actually fire up the oven and try them out. Let us know how your first pizza night goes!

Hello Adam
"Delicious and simple" is exactly what we aim for!
We put in the 36-hour proofing time so that when the dough reaches your kitchen, the hard work is already done. We are absolutely thrilled that you found it easy to prep and, most importantly, delicious to eat.
Thanks for the 5 stars!

Ordered gluten free doughballs for…
Ordered gluten free doughballs for pizza. These came with no instructions and I had to google what to do with them. Instructions were very vague. They turned out horribly. Very dry dough. Did not rise at all. Stodgy and unpleasant. I’m sure instructions would have helped as gluten free dough is very temperamental.
March 5, 2026
Reply from Great Balls Of Flour
Hi Jane
We are really sorry to hear that your gluten-free dough balls turned out this way. You are completely right—gluten-free dough behaves very differently from traditional wheat dough, and having the right guidance is absolutely crucial to stop it drying out.
Please accept our apologies that the physical user guide was missing from your box. We do have detailed instructions and specific video guides for handling our GF dough over in the 'Help' section of our website, but we completely understand how frustrating it is when the physical guide isn't there in the box to point you in the right direction.
We would love to help you get that perfect, honest pizza base you were hoping for. Please drop us an email so we can put this right for you and share the links.

Great product
Great product, glad i found this. Definitely worth watching the ‘how to use video’ online before - but the sourdough base is very tasty
December 23, 2025
Reply from Great Balls Of Flour
Hi Luke,
We are really glad you found us, too! 😊
You are absolutely spot on about watching the video first. Because our dough is crafted by us but purposefully shaped by you, taking a couple of minutes to see how it handles makes all the difference. It takes the guesswork out and helps you make great pizza straight away.
We put a lot of care into our 36-hour proofing process, so we are thrilled you found the sourdough so tasty.
Kind regards,
Team GBOF
The effort to perfect the technique is worth it
I’ve been buying dough from this supplier for years, and if you struggle at first, stick with, it’s worth it. The dough can feel sticky, but a little of their pizza dust or covering in fine semolina sorts it quickly, and the technique soon becomes second nature.
I used to buy only the Neapolitan dough until I accidentally ordered the sourdough. It needs a gentler stretch, tastes fantastic, and I now wish I’d listened to the owner’s recommendation much sooner.
I’ve tried every supermarket dough out there; none come close. This really is in a league of its own. Customer service is excellent too, you can tell it’s a proper family business.
I love Italian restaurants, but my stomach doesn’t always love me back. These doughs have been a game‑changer: great flavour without the “after‑effects.” Pizza Fridays have now expanded to Wednesdays and Sundays… Great Balls of Flour is slowly taking over the week

Unprompted review
Reply from Great Balls Of Flour
Hi Jillian,
What an absolutely brilliant review—thank you so much for taking the time to write this, and for sticking with us for years!
We are so glad that the "happy accident" with the sourdough order paid off. Bubbles (our sourdough mother) works incredibly hard during that 36-hour proofing process to break down the gluten. That is exactly why you get all that flavour without the uncomfortable after-effects you sometimes get at restaurants. It really is a game-changer.
You are spot on about the technique, too—a little pizza dust, a gentle stretch, and you get authentic perfection every time. As for taking over your week... Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday sounds like a perfectly sensible schedule to us, have you had it for breakfast yet?!!
Best regards,
Team GBOF
I bought sourdough balls
I bought sourdough balls. The amount of dough was not really enough to work with for a 12” pizza. We like a fair amount of topping on ours and that wasn’t possible with such a fragile thin base. If it was easier to work with it might have been easier to create a larger area, but it was tricky to get an even stretch and create a good shape. I followed the guidance but it didn’t rise much either and was pretty chewy. Might have to revert back to making my own dough. Only got these as I’m trying to reduce gluten due to chronic illness.
February 23, 2026

Hey KSea
We are really sorry to hear your first bake with us was a bit of a struggle, especially as you bought these to help manage your gluten intake. Sourdough is absolutely brilliant for that, so we'd love to help you get the best out of it!
Our dough balls are 250g, which is the traditional standard for a 10-12" Neapolitan pizza. Because it's a traditional dough, it creates a wonderfully thin base that isn't really designed to hold a heavy load of toppings. If you love a fully loaded pizza, a great trick is to just stretch it a little smaller, to about 10 inches. That gives you a much sturdier base to hold all your favourite ingredients!
It definitely takes a little practice to get the stretch and rise just right with a proper sourdough, but please don't give up just yet. Drop us an email if you'd like some tips—we'll gladly help you nail it.

Arrived when promised
Arrived when promised, put 4 straight in the fridge and cooked 2 days later, my boy said his Garlic Bread was banging, easy to spread with good elasticity. yes its cheaper to make your own, but can I be bothered? nope, and I've never quite managed to get them as good.

Hey Mat
It is great to hear that your boy thought the garlic bread was "banging"! 🍕🧄💣 That is exactly the kind of honest feedback we love to receive.
We completely agree with your approach. While making dough from scratch is always an option, our entire goal is to save you that time and effort without compromising on quality, taste or that essential elasticity. It is brilliant to know the fridge storage worked perfectly for your schedule, too.
Thank you for choosing us to do the hard work for you... but letting you get the glory 🤩

Functional Refund
The delivery was speedy and we have yet to try the product. However, the tomato sauce arrived smashed and broken glass & sauce covered the contents of the parcel. Considering the inconvenience to us, the offer of reimbursing £4 seems quite poor. One of our family members has coeliac disease and we were excited to try a GF pre made dough but this experience has tainted the purchase for us.
February 9, 2026
Reply from Great Balls Of Flour
Hi Emily
Thank you for your honest feedback. We sincerely apologise for the smashed sauce. Having to clean up broken glass is incredibly frustrating and certainly not the standard we aim for.
We invest heavily in secure, protective packaging to prevent this exact scenario, but occasionally, parcels are handled with enough force in transit that even our best packaging cannot withstand it. It is especially disappointing to hear this impacted a much-anticipated gluten-free meal for your family member.
I also want to touch on the £4 refund. I realise that no amount of money instantly makes up for the inconvenience of a ruined box. The team calculated that £4 would be over-reimbursed to you by about 30% of the discounted price you paid for the sauce when it is included in the bundled box, ensuring you were not left out of pocket for the item.
We hope the dough proves successful for you, and we are sorry for the difficult start.

Discount code didnt work
I tried to buy the £50 box as a gift but discount code would not work
February 2, 2026
Reply from Great Balls Of Flour
Hi Lynda
Thank you for the feedback. It was a lovely gesture to buy the £50 box as a gift, so I am sorry the checkout process put a dampener on it. 😔
The code didn't work because it was likely a "Dough & Base"- specific code. These work on all our edible dough products, but they don't apply to the larger hardware kits or gift boxes (unless it is a special "Store Wide" event).
We do try to note this in the T&Cs, but we appreciate it isn't always obvious when you are in a rush to buy. I hope the recipient enjoys the kit regardless! 🍕
