The Pizza Parlour is really a small restaurant that offers pizza and pasta in a more refined, but still casual, environment than many of us are used to unless going to Pizza Express. The Pizza Parlour is just as tasty as Pizza Express but not nearly as dear with it super size pizza - enough for three - only setting you back £11 for most toppings. There is also beer and wine which makes it some like more grown up experience but all of this can delivered if you still want to slob about in your pyjamas. Even though I do like a Domino's, you can still taste the difference here as the pizzas taste fresher and have a real home-made quality to them.

Can anyone hear the word Friends without the theme tune following? Well, it's in my head now…read moreanyway. Opposite The Nile, Friends is another rather decent clay oven clad flame griller of the takeout ilk on that expansive stretch of Smithdown takeaways. The food is brill especially the mixed kebab and the special garlic bread (Cheese, mushrooms and jalepeno. It's aneurism inducing but mighty fine.) Also, check the student deals if you need to fill a huge gap or have thrown the diet out of the window. Student meal: 10" pizza with two toppings, chips, two drinks...And a chicken fillet burger for £6.50! That is a serious amount of fastfood. We're not just friends now, we're blood brothers.

So after two nights in Liverpool I was ready to have a proper kebab. Being an American, I always…read morethought a kebab was a skewer but was confused because i never saw anyone eating them after a night out in the UK. Friends was close to where I was staying and was told that it was the best spot for them ever so after a night out in Liverpool we went over and grabbed some. The naan took less than a minute to cook in the clay oven and all the ingredients looked fresh. Once at the house we devoured them and instantly wanted more. I had no idea this is what everyone was talking about. I only wish I was able to eat one a day or every couple hours.

Carlitos is one place which I will always fondly remember because I have had countless delicious takeaways from here admittedly most of them when I have been copiously drunk. Carlitos is therefore always associated with good times, to be fair I'm not sure if it tastes so good sober but it has to be worth a go. The staff are amongst the friendliest I have encountered since coming to Liverpool and there service is top notch If you live in the Smithdown area and you're a drunken student type then Carlitos will be right up your alley.

Amongst the myriad of takeaways along the student-populated Smithdown Road, Carlitos stands out as…read moreprobably one of, if not the best at the ancient art of combining cheese and tomato with bread. It offers the usual kebab/pizza shop fare but it is their pizzas that really set it apart from the other Smithdown takeaways as they are consistently doughy, generously topped and delicious. Carlitos also offers several meal deals which represent good value for money as many cost less than five pounds, including the 'student special' (or 'student spesh' as it is commonly known) - a personal favourite of mine. Its quality food, excellent prices and cheerful staff leave you under no illusions as to where to go when on Smithdown Road - there is only one way; Carlito's way.

I'd avoid as there are many places which serve similar style food at a much better quality.

Goodfellas, cliché of a name and as you would expect this place specialises in Pizzas. There are…read morevarious other places on the Smithdown road which provide the same type of fast food and unfortunately for this place many of them do a much better job. For a place with an Italian name you would expect them to be experts in an Italian classic such as a good pizza but this is not in fact the case. The waiting time can be long and the staff don't really appreciate being bothered whilst they are busy which is not a great attribute to have for those who work in a people orientated business. The food is never really above average and you are a brave person if you try anything other than a standard margarita pizza. Goodfellas doesn't try hard to be anything other than average and you can see that in the results they get, if you're drunk and in need of some grub there are worse places you could visit but there are also a lot that are better.

Most of the food here is cooked in atraditional clay oven style which means that it's not quite as fast as your usual fast food outlet but if you get the chops by God you'll be glad you waited. Chops? In a takeaway? Yup, regular chops, cooked so the meat just falls of the bone and with a slightly spicy sauce - can't beat it.

I'm not entirely sure what is so different about clay oven kebabs but one thing is for certain you can taste the high quality. I have ventured into this place on many a drunken night and have always found it to be excellent value and excellent taste on the whole. This place is different to your standard takeaway and even serves roast chicken and the best word to describe that particular taste is succulent, I cannot describe what a treat it was to get roast chicken as opposed to your standard takeaway fare. This place is really refreshing and does the job whatever your needs, with excellent staff and great value The Nile is one of the best places to visit in Smithdown.

Like a lot of pubs on lark lane, they also do "buy two large glasses of wine and get the rest of the bottle free". The cocktails must be great as they ran out of a lot of ingredients which was a little annoying when I switched from beer to cocktails but the one I had was very good. They had meantime from Greenwich on tap along with some other more local and less local options including Erdinger. The music was good and we ended up staying until closing. We didn't try the pizzas this time but they looked great and good value - £10.95 for a pint and pizza or £9.95 for a large prosecco and pizza. They also have two rooms for free hire and there was a birthday party upstairs. We'll be back.
