Pizza · Cardiff
Sourdough Neapolitan pizza in the middle of Cardiff, and the dough is the thing people go back for — properly chewy, crispy at the base, with a good puffy crust. Portions run large enough that leftovers go home in a box, which suits sharing with a smaller child. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor seating, plus vegan options, and the team is genuinely good on allergies if you flag them when you order. Staff are polite and attentive, the open kitchen gives restless children something to watch, and the room is kept clean. Two honest snags: it's city-centre and gets busy, so book for weekends and holidays, and the table knives struggle with a crisp base — worth asking for pizza scissors. Prices are reasonable for what arrives.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
