🍦 Why Foody Voody Hits Different From Other Chakwal Spots

The ice cream is the reason. Most fast food places in Chakwal treat dessert as an afterthought — a few scoops of generic vanilla from a freezer. Foody Voody has a dedicated ice cream bar with options that kids actually get excited about. Their Foody Voody Special Cup — layers of vanilla and chocolate ice cream, brownie pieces, chocolate sauce — isn’t just a dessert. It’s the main event. My niece finished hers in two minutes flat and immediately asked for another. Compare this to Pizza Garden’s dessert menu: they have ice cream, but it’s basic. No brownie pieces, no layered cups, no dip cones with sprinkles. Foody Voody wins on dessert by a mile.

The slushes are the second thing. On a 40°C day, a finely blended slush that isn’t just ice chunks is a gift. Their Blueberry slush is sweet, tangy, and actually drinkable through a straw — not frozen solid. At Qaiser’s Kitchen, their slushes are more like ice with syrup. Here, the texture is right.

The pizza is fine. Not great, not terrible. The Crown Crust has a cheese-filled edge that kids love, but it takes 30 minutes to arrive — even when the place isn’t busy. For pizza quality and speed, Domino’s or Pizza Garden are better. But those places don’t have a Foody Voody Special Cup waiting for you while you wait.

🍽️ What We Ordered — Dish by Dish, Honest Scores

⭐ Foody Voody Special Cup — Rs. 400 (9.5/10): This arrived in a clear plastic cup, layers visible: vanilla, chocolate sauce, brownie chunks, more vanilla, more sauce. My niece grabbed it before I could take a photo. The brownie pieces were soft, not hard or stale. The chocolate sauce wasn’t too sweet — it balanced the vanilla. She ate it so fast that chocolate ended up on her chin and her shirt. Worth every rupee. 9.5/10.

🍦 Dip Cone — Rs. 250 (8.5/10): My nephew’s choice. Vanilla cone dipped in chocolate with sprinkles on top. Messy by design. The chocolate shell cracked when he bit into it — that’s how you know it’s fresh, not sitting in a freezer. He had chocolate all over his face. Zero complaints from him. 8.5/10.

🍫 Kitkat Cup — Rs. 350 (8/10): Ice cream topped with crushed Kitkat pieces. Simple, but the crunch factor worked. The kids liked it but preferred the Special Cup. I tried a bite — the Kitkat added texture that the regular cup doesn’t have. Worth ordering if you want variety. 8/10.

👑 Crown Crust Pizza (X-Large – Rs. 2300): This arrived 30 minutes after we ordered. The kids were already full from ice cream. The cheese-filled crust was stretchy — my nephew pulled a string of cheese from his slice to his mouth. Toppings were generous: chicken, mushrooms, bell peppers. But the base could have been crispier. For Rs. 2300, I expected better. The kids ate one slice each and stopped. 7.5/10.

🍟 Loaded Edged Fries — Rs. 500 (8/10): These came piled high with cheese, chicken chunks, and sauces. The fries underneath stayed crispy — not soggy like some places. I ate most of them while the kids played with their ice cream. Good value for the portion size. 8/10.

⚠️ What went wrong: The pizza took 30 minutes. The outdoor table we sat at had crumbs from previous customers — we wiped it down ourselves. The service was fine but slow. The biggest mistake was ordering ice cream first. The kids were full before the pizza arrived. Next time: pizza first, ice cream for dessert.

💰 Total bill: Rs. 4,000 for two adults and two kids. Would I go back? Yes — but I’d order the pizza first, then the ice cream. And I’d call ahead for the pizza so I’m not waiting with hungry kids.

💡 Things Nobody Tells You Before Your First Visit

• Order pizza first, ice cream for dessert. We made this mistake. The kids were full before the pizza arrived. The kitchen takes 30 minutes for pizza even when it’s empty.
• Call ahead for pizza takeaway. For dine-in, you wait. For takeaway, call 0332 5717144 and the pizza will be ready in 20 minutes. Saves you the hungry-kid meltdown.
• The outdoor tables might have crumbs. Wipe them down yourself or ask the staff. They don’t pre-clean between customers. We learned this the hard way.
• The Foody Voody Special Cup is worth the Rs. 400. Skip the regular cups. The brownie pieces and layered sauce make it better than anything else on the menu.
• Weekdays between 2-4 PM are quiet. Evenings (6-9 PM) are packed. Service slows down, parking gets tight. Come in the early afternoon with kids for a calmer experience.
• Parking is free street parking. Before 6 PM, easy. After 8 PM, you’re circling. We came at 2 PM on a Tuesday and parked right outside.

⚖️ Foody Voody vs Other Chakwal Spots

Vs Pizza Garden’s ice cream: Pizza Garden has basic soft serve — vanilla or chocolate in a cup. No toppings, no brownie pieces, no layered cups. Foody Voody’s Special Cup has brownie chunks, chocolate sauce, and two ice cream flavors. For dessert quality, Foody Voody wins. For pizza quality and speed, Pizza Garden wins. Different places for different cravings.

Vs Qaiser’s Kitchen’s slushes: Qaiser’s slushes are more like ice with syrup — you can’t drink them through a straw because the ice chunks are too big. Foody Voody’s slushes are finely blended, smooth, and actually refreshing. For texture, Foody Voody wins. For price, Qaiser’s is cheaper (Rs. 80-100 vs Rs. 100-150).

Vs Domino’s delivery speed: Domino’s pizza arrives in 20-25 minutes consistently. Foody Voody takes 30 minutes for dine-in pizza even when the place is empty. If you want pizza as your main meal and you want it fast, Domino’s is better. If you want a dessert-first experience and don’t mind waiting, Foody Voody is fine.

👥 Who Should Go to Foody Voody — And Who Shouldn’t

Go here if: You have kids who love ice cream and you’re okay with pizza being the second course. You’re craving a good slush on a hot day. You’re in a group that wants dessert first and doesn’t mind waiting. You’re ordering takeaway pizza and can call ahead. You’re looking for a casual, loud, family-friendly atmosphere where kids can be kids.

Don’t go here if: You want pizza as the main event — go to Pizza Garden or Domino’s instead. You’re in a hurry — the pizza takes 30 minutes. You need clean outdoor tables without wiping them yourself. You’re on a date where service speed matters. You want fine dining or quiet ambiance.

🧠 Local Knowledge — Things Only Regulars Know

• The Special Beef Shawarma (Rs. 400) is better than the chicken. Most first-timers order chicken. Regulars know the beef has more spice and better texture.
• Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons are the calmest. Weekends after 6 PM are a zoo — the ice cream line gets long, and the kitchen slows down. Go mid-week with kids.
• The Donut Pizza (Rs. 1000) is a conversation starter but not a meal. It’s a donut-shaped pizza — fun for kids, but you’ll still need to order something else. Regulars order it once for the novelty, then stick to the Crown Crust.
• If you ask, they’ll add extra brownie pieces to the Special Cup for Rs. 50. Not on the menu. My niece wanted more brownie — the guy said “extra Rs. 50” and added a handful. Worth it.
• The table closest to the ice cream counter gets the fastest dessert service. We sat near the back and waited 10 minutes for our cups. The family near the counter got theirs in 3 minutes.

⚡ Quick Reference Before You Order

• Say this to the waiter: “Foody Voody Special Cup for the kids first, then Crown Crust pizza. Extra brownie pieces if you can.”
• Don’t order pizza as your first course if you have hungry kids. Order it when you arrive, but get the ice cream after. Or call ahead for takeaway.
• Order the Special Cup over the regular cup. It’s Rs. 400 vs Rs. 350 for Kitkat cup — the brownie pieces and layering are worth the extra Rs. 50.
• Ask about extra toppings before you pay. Say “extra brownie pieces kitne ka?” — they’ll tell you Rs. 50. Not on the menu, but available.
• Wipe the outdoor table yourself before sitting. The staff doesn’t pre-clean. Grab a napkin from the counter.
