Pizza · Plymouth
A reliable choice on the Barbican when you need pizza that won't take an hour to arrive and staff who don't blink at a fussy order. Parents consistently describe the team as warm and unflustered even on a packed evening, happy to tweak an order or walk you through allergies without making it awkward — genuinely useful when you're juggling a picky five-year-old. The dough balls come out soft and buttery, and the bases have that thin, slightly charred crisp kids inherit a taste for early. It's clean, roomy enough for a pram, and not so loud you can't talk across the table. High chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options and free parking all help. One snag: it can get very busy at weekends, and there are occasional reports of turning people away at the door — worth booking.
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.
A budget-friendly Plymouth grillhouse with a kids' menu and a 4.5 rating from nearly 500 diners — easy for a family meal out.
