Pizza · Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle's pizza crowd rates this one highly, and it's easy to see why with a young family in tow: buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating when the weather plays along. Service is quick and genuinely warm — people are seated fast and looked after, which matters when a toddler's patience is thin. The pizzas come out of the oven fast and generous; a single one comfortably feeds two sharing, so a child can pick from yours. The smashed burger pizza and the cacio e pepe both draw praise, most of the base is available gluten-free, and there are vegan choices, though the vegan menu is short. The atmosphere is laid-back with a DJ at busier times, so it's lively rather than hushed — and walk-in tables aren't guaranteed, so book ahead.
