I’d rate the pizza amongst the best I’ve ever had! I recognise that it is a pizzeria, but the menu was a little limited for other options that weren’t dough based, so if it’s just pizza you want, this is THE place!!

A local friend recommended we grab pizzas and they did not disappoint! The potato pizza was a standout - the paprika addition was delicious. Food was quick, tasty and the staff were lovely. Recommend booking on a busy weekend. But worth it!
