Love this place!! Been in so many times since it has opened and each time it has been fantastic! Top quality food, great prices and service is faultless. It has a lovely atmosphere with a lovely family touch! Highly recommend and will be back!
Had a pizza here last Saturday and it was very good traditional pizza. Went back again this Saturday and had the lasagne. It was homemade and delicious. Next Saturday going to try a panini, they look epic. Great food, atmosphere & service and very reasonably priced.
A nice place to have pizzas and pasta. The ambience is warm and cosy. You can see the pizzas being made in the oven. The pizzas are neopolitan style. Fresh and delicious! They also do takeaways. The staff is friendly. It's a fairly popular place so better get a reservation, particularly on Fridays and week-nights :)
An Italian gem in the heart of Bedford. How pizza is meant to be. Courteous service, and willing to accommodate extra diners arriving. A really nice place at great value.
Really lovely place lovely atmosphere great food. Would certainly recommend to anyone comming to Bedford. Authentic Italian food, Authentic Italian atmosphere. My only down side, and this is only small! The music was a bit too loud, a thumping base that if up one notch more on some tracks might have been painful. But it didn't really detract from the great food and service :)
Very likely the best pizza in Bedford. Just right amount of crust and great combination of ingredients. Also the service was top notch. Fully booked the moment it opens so it is good to reserve your table in advance if you want to seat inside. Will for sure visit again.
By Bedford standards this is a fantastic outlier. Dough is flavourful and well prepared. To be hypercritical, there are a few things keeping it from getting to the "Italian pizza" level. The main point which could be improved is the ingredients. I had the Napoli, and the olives, for example, tasted like generic tin olives. The tomato and mozzarella, although there was nothing wrong with them, were not bursting with flavour (as is possible). Anchovies can have a pleasant flavourful oiliness alongside the saltiness, but I didn't find it here.
All this to say sourcing better ingredients could up the game to an even higher level - but then again seeing as everyone seems happy maybe it's not worth the extra cost :P
Fantastic pizza, great atmosphere, friendly staff and interesting decoration. The La Diavola was really good, I highly recommend it! Next time I will ask for it without the pepperoni, just the N’duja is enough.
Definitely best pizza in Bedford.
Mortadella and pistachio was fantastic 💯
If it would offer mortadella and ricotta, it would be 120/100 👌🏻
We were supposed to go to another of the many Italian pizzeria in Bedford (apparently there is a huge Italian community here, due to a brick factory over 500 years ago that was employing a lot of Italian immigrants in the area). Anyway, the pizza was ALMOST perfect (for an Italian fussy pizza eater like me) the dough was delicious and burnt in the right places (if you have one of these all-even-doughs, with no bubbles and no little charred burnt parts here and there.. the pizza is not properly hand made with a dough recipe that ghost the Italian original one (there are many, but the general idea is that the pizza should follow certain standards).
Got a pizza with pepperoni (many recipes were "British style" hence the ALMOST, although thank God there were no pineapple in the pizza menu!!!) and nduja (a spicy spreadable salami from Sicily), the pizza was very good and I will come back here if I was in the area.
The pizza place itself is cosy and small, with an original 1070 Italian Vespa hanged on the ceiling!!
A must for all Pizza lovers, and all Italians in the Bedford area!!
Oh I almost forgot! They have original San Pellegrino fizzy drinks, you have to try the blood orange juice, if you never did (in the photos)
Try it and subscribe to my review for more Italian, good food suggestions!!
Was so keen to get home and write this review in support of all the other 5 star reviews.
I simply cannot be more complimentary. One of the best restaurant experiences I have ever received. Authenticity, politeness, quality of food, service of food, portion size all in abundance.
We are returning customers but usually have take away pizza's, to have one fresh out of the oven is a completely different experience and one I encourage all to try.
Will be supporting this business long into the future. Thank you for the service we received.
Visited with a group bookkng for weekday lunch. Really nice atmosphere. The service was super quick. Ordered La Divola pizza (spicy pizza) but wasn't too hot or spicy. Service was good and food for our large (10 people table) came out super quickly.
All made fresh behind the counter, with a pizza oven in the corner of the restaurant.
Will definitely go back again to try some more dishes and dessert.
