Half a cheesy pizza with a topping of choice served alongside a generous portion of chips and a tub of creamy coleslaw – many people would struggle to think of a better option when it comes to a takeaway.
Pizza platters have long been a popular go-to meal on cheat day – and bizarrely, it turns out that Grimsby and Cleethorpes may be one of the only places in the UK to offer them.
According to comments on a post to the Dull Men’s Club Facebook page, which boasts more than 970,000 followers, many people across the UK had, until now, “never heard” of a pizza platter.

The original post reads: “The area I live in Grimsby and Cleethorpes, UK, every single takeaway pizza place does a thing called a pizza platter. Half a freshly made pizza, chips/fries and coleslaw. It costs the same price as a full pizza.
“Apparently our area is the only place in the UK and in that regard, the world, to do them which I find strange as we have about 30 pizza takeaway places and every single one does them.

“Can my fellow dull people confirm or deny the rumours that we’re the only place to make these beauties of the night for when you’ve had one too many.”
Thousands of people flocked to the comments section in response – and it appears that Grimsby and Cleethorpes could be one of the only places in the UK to serve pizza platters.
One person wrote: “I’m from Doncaster, but now live in Lancashire and I’ve never seen this. They do boxes where I live called munchy boxes, which are very similar but have some form of meat product instead of pizza.”
“Newcastle now, Kent before that… never seen this. Pizza is almost always served on its own,” said another.
Another person said they had “never seen” pizza platters in South Yorkshire, but “now wanted” one. One commenter said they were “super jel”.
One woman claimed that her local takeaway shop in Wales serves pizza platters, but many Welsh people replied to say they had never heard of one.
Whether the “rumours” are true that Grimsby and Cleethorpes is the only place in the world to serve pizza platters remains a mystery …
