Reviews Summary

Diners consistently praise Cheese & Tomatin for its exceptional, world-class sourdough pizzas, featuring creative toppings and a perfectly baked crust. The cozy atmosphere and genuinely friendly staff also contribute to a highly recommended dining experience. While most reviews are glowing, a few guests found the cheese texture and topping flavor less impressive than expected.

"A small little quaint place is what it looks like from the outside. It’s actually spacey when you go inside. The staff is friendly and provides great recommendations. The food is absolutely amazing. Everything is so flavorful and fresh. You will definitely not leave hungry. I recommend pairing your pizza with a good pint of beer or cider."

David Hernandez

"I liked the vibe of this place, the pizza oven looked cool in the takeaway section. We sat in for food next door. I wasn't too keen on the pizzas though, the cheese was too think and chewy and toppings weren't very flavourful. The garlic dip was a saviour."

Col D

"Even the Italians next to us said it was good, that's how good the pizza here was! Me and parents came from Hong Kong and lived in the States, all of us agreed that this was the best pizza we have had!
The texture of the dough is spot on and they use sourdough to make their pizza dough (the good old traditional method!) The ingredients for the toppings are so fresh and absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend anyone to eat here!
The servers are also very friendly and welcoming. Shout out to the Romanian chef! He absolutely deserves all the good reviews here on google!"

Cheese and Tomatin’s creations have been earning rave reviews for years and a margherita will only set you back £11.30. The business began serving pizza from a trailer in Tomatin and although it has worked its way up to two successful locations – the other one is in Aviemore – the casual vibe remains. If you’re after something a little bit more exotic on your pizza, the Stornoway black pudding and haggis option comes highly recommended.
