Reviews of Barbarossa Pizza

Having wanting to visit Barbarossa for a while, I finally got my chance when the Mrs was out of town. I’m a big fan of wood fired style pizza restaurants and visited several ones. This one situated in the heart of Middlesbrough’s nightlife is tucked away from the swarms of drunkards. The restaurant is open and you can watch the kitchen staff in the kitchen working around the fire. The sourdough bread is probably the best you'll taste, I’m told their bread is prepared over 7 days. I couldn’t understand the plates of bread crusts going back to the kitchen as waste. The sourdough bread really added authenticity to the pizza and incredible. I opted for meat feast and added goats cheese, rocket, spicy Italian sausage. The pizzas held the weight of the topping, some pizzas the toppings fall off but these held. Meats great quality and didn’t leave too much grease behind. Washed down with a BrewDog lager. The food came out rapidly if not too quick. I was eating alone but the waitress sorry I didn’t get your name but you liked after me. Which made the job of eating alone, a lot easier thank you. There’s nothing at all wrong with this restaurant but they could benefit from more Italian style starters like arancini etc. Good effort on the craft beers but this Italian get some Italian craft beer in there. Not the usual suspects of birra moretti, menabrea and peroni.
