A taste of Italy overlooking the sea in Lyme Regis is what you’ll find at Poco Pizza. This place serves authentic wood-fired pizza – thin, crispy and charred at the edges. Ingredients are carefully sourced for their seasonality and flavour, and you have the chance to pair your delicious pizza with a luscious glass of Italian wine or a chilled beer as you enjoy the magnificent views out over Lyme Bay.
The Yard Pizza

The Yard Pizza is a family-run restaurant in the heart of Cowbridge, serving Neapolitan-style pizza and pasta. These guys pride themselves in producing authentic pizza. The dough is made daily in-house by talented chefs, and by sourcing the best ingredients direct from Italy and local producers too, we believe this creates the best flavours possible. We’d even go so far to say these pizzas are up there with the best in Wales, let alone the local area!
So Dough Pizzeria

Home to authentic Italian pizza, homemade fries and Bangin’ service, Bangin’ Pizza Johnstone is the second venue in the Bangin’ Pizza franchise; the first venue in Dumbarton has seen roaring success in the first two years of business, winning the ‘TSB Small Business Award’ in 2021. Serving all the classics, alongside vegetarian and vegan pizzas, the dough here is super light and digestible as a result of proving for a minimum of 48 hours and has been developed using a secret method to allow for an incredible pizza experience. These guys only use the finest ’San Marzano Tomatoes’ from Italy, while the flour is a special sourdough hybrid. The meats used are sourced from the finest suppliers in regional Italy and all of the organic vegetables are locally sourced in Scotland. Bangin’, in a word.
Anello Pizza

Anello is the second pizza project from partners Kate and Jim Morgan, creators of the award-winning Rudy’s Pizza in Manchester. Together with new partner, Rick McCollom, Anello brings together the founders’ passion for Neapolitan pizza, a friendly and relaxed space, and a pursuit of creating an environment dedicated to experimenting and learning. While the team uses a blend of British milled flours (Shipton Mill) to create its dough, the pizza is firmly rooted within the traditions of Naples. These are made on site daily using a mixer designed to replicate the delicate motion of mixing by hand. This technique, along with a minimum 24 hours of proving, keeps the crust soft and easy to digest. The organic tomatoes and fior di latte mozzarella come here from the Campania region of Italy, as the climate and methods of production there still go unrivalled. All of this lends beautifully to create extremely good pizzas of the highest quality.
Tonino’s Pizzeria and Delicatessen specialises in top quality Italian cuisine, bringing good mood food to Inverclyde. Not only will you be served delicious antipasti platters and pasta dishes, but the pizza dough (including a gluten-free option) is made fresh on-site daily and the range of toppings include high-quality Italian meats and a selection of cheeses. Whether you’re looking for a delicious sandwich from the deli bar for lunch, a place to relax over a coffee, or somewhere to enjoy pizza with friends then Tonino’s is the place to be.
Notorious Pizza Co.

You can find the legendary Notorious Pizza Co. on Queen Street, where it serves Neapolitan-style pizza with an Irish twist. This journey began back in late 2016, when three friends, DJ O’Brien, Ruairi Glavin and Odhrán Hassan realised it was extremely difficult to find authentic pizza in Northern Ireland. Noting a gap in the market for high quality pizza, the wheels were set in motion for Notorious Wood Fired Pizza Co. which began trading in mid-2018. Today, this place is one of Northern Ireland’s most loved pizzerias with a generous menu that includes Meat Sweatz, which features diced mozzarella, chicken, bacon, slow roast ham and pepperoni.
For Rudy’s, it’s all about the pizza. Just like in Naples, the dough here is made on-site every day, takes 24 hours to double ferment and just 60 seconds to cook! It is soft, light and floppy, so fold for strength or tuck in with a knife and fork. There are Rudy’s locations across the whole of the UK, making this one of the country’s most loved pizzerias.
This venue is currently not accepting online reservations through Dish Cult.
