What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the exceptional sourdough pizzas with creative toppings and the inviting, trendy urban garden atmosphere. While the pizza is consistently praised as a standout, some find the sides less impressive and occasionally encounter minor frustrations with seating policies. However, the friendly service and overall deliciousness make it a highly recommended spot.
"Really great place, had a 10 min wait to get in but sat outside looking at the menu and before we knew it we were asked to come inside, I had a lovely cocktail "rumrage" 🍸 followed by the mushroom pizza mac-n-cheese with bacon bits both were out of this world, all the stuff we spoke to were lovely and helpful, great price to, they could easily charge more if they wanted to I recon but the pricing is very fair.
Highly recommend 👌"

"Wow what a find after having a drive out to Shrewsbury. Visited on a Friday evening and was fully booked, we had a call in 10 minutes to say a table was ready! We got served by a lovely friendly lady with dark hair. The food was delicious - Best pizza we have ever had and great value!
Thanks for a lovely meal and we will visit again when in the area!"

"Came here on a busy Saturday night without a reservation, they took my details and rang us after an hour (much faster than we had actually expected!) and sat us down as a table of 7 in a cosy booth. The food was delicious and the service was great!"
