Pizza · Southampton
Pizza this good in a busy city-centre spot is usually a nightmare with kids, but the team here make it work — high chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options, and a few outdoor tables, with buggy access into the room. Food comes out fast from the wood-fired oven, which matters when someone is unravelling; one family were fed within minutes of ordering. Portions are big and cheap, the crust is properly crisp, and the spicy salami is genuinely spicy — worth knowing before you share it. The tiramisu gets rave mentions. The catch: seating is tight and it fills up on Friday and Saturday nights, so book ahead rather than turning up with a pram and hoping. It can get loud when full.
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.
Huge thin-crust pizzas, half-and-half orders and quick service, with high chairs and buggy access — though the music runs loud.
Central Greek grill with quick lunches, a generous sharing platter and warm staff — dark inside, so ask for a window table.
Roomy Tex-Mex with kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor tables; food arrives fast and the steak fajitas are the standout.
