We started visiting here when they were just a pizza truck and keep coming back now they have there new place! Best pizzas in Southampton, better than any pizza restaurant around, freshly cooked and always a friendly and nice atmosphere in there. Highly recommend!!
If you can find this place, and I do mean 'if', you in for a real treat. Do not expect fine dining with silver service. This is really different! And sooo much fun! Pokey little bar with a built in Pizza oven. Seating is limited, but fun if you like sharing. The bar is a real 'local' bar, but the management so friendly and welcoming and pleasant locals making room for us.Beer from the keg; light weights can try lager in the bottle! Wine for those who do wine. Pizza is about it on the food menu, but a great choice, freshly cooked, served on paper bags on paper plates! Knives and forks are for wimps! And mega-dog friendly! This is so worth a try and a real different experience. But, as I said at the start; if you can find it!
Incredible food and relaxed atmosphere; a hidden gem. Great for meat eaters and vegans alike. I would thoroughly recommend for friends or family
We'd been here before, when the previous owners ran it. I think they were missing a trick with not doing any food, but now though, under new ownership, it's brilliant. Part of the bar has been converted into a kitchen, where they make and cook the pizzas, in a proper pizza oven. They were delicious and no soggy bottom! Lovely atmosphere, so we'll definitely be back. May try the chocolate pizza next time! Thanks!
Came here with my brother and our partners, to eat pizza - and they've run out! Very disappointing on a Saturday night at 20:00 for them to have run out of their main attraction; it just seems like poor planning (though maybe there is a reason - hopefully they'll reply here to explain). On the plus side the decor and atmosphere is nice and they seem to have a decent bar!
1st visit to the new location in Kemp's quay by the marina,having visited many previous times when they were in the pub car park in st Denys. Very impressed, good beer and the calzones excellent as always,took an extra 2 home to freeze for another day 😀 Glad you now have a permanent location with longer opening times, good to see you both again,I'll be back soon.
We were lucky enough to live opposite it’s a pizza thing when it was a van outside the south western pub. It was our secret and favourite food treat. It was my haven when I was pregnant and we were sad when we moved away from the area solely because of the pizza van. Today we took our daughter for her first ever pizza experience in their new restaurant. WOW. It’s a lovely location and such a lovely atmosphere. We were even recognised from our regular visits over 18 months ago which really shows how valued their customers are to them. Pizza’s were “AMAZING” as always and we will definitely make more 40 minute trips to this amazing place.
fantastic pizza nice atmosphere well worth a visit will be returning top top friendly staff and cracking pizza
Popped in to see the new layout after the change of ownership. Met up with a few friends... lovely selection of drinks and a friendly vibe about the place. The pizzas looked very nice and were popular - I'll try one next time...
Visited on a recommendation, and it was well worth it. The pizzas were delicious. Lovely crisp base. Nice bar friendly people.
This place is a hidden gem, I only went there because a friend who lives in the area recommended it, otherwise I would never have found it....but once you do find it, you’ll be happy! The pizzas are tasty and with a good choice of toppings, plus they’re cooked in a wood fire oven, just like in Italy, which makes all the difference..... There’s a good selection of drinks, including beer and people are friendly. Recommended!
I wasn’t sure when they moved here as it seems a bit out of the way, but it’s fantastic. The pizza is the best I’ve ever had and I really like their selection of beers.
I had been getting ‘It’s a Pizza Thing’ withdrawal so decided to try the new bar. Was concerned that the Über driver wouldn’t know where it was, but.....he knew and so did his colleagues as there seemed to be a constant stream! Word is out there! The next night we were in another local pub and everyone was talking about the Paddle & Peel! Great atmosphere, good prices, good gin and AMAZING pizzas!
We had a short break in a B and B in Dibden and were looking for places to eat and this place scored highly. So we set the sat nav and off we went. Got concerned when we ended up in a boat building ind estate. It was a Saturday so everything was closed and we thought surely we had it wrong! We slowly inched forward, directly into the water it seemed and there it was in the corner. We still weren’t too sure-but it turns out all the reviews were spot on👍🏼. This place has absolutely no frills whatsoever -basic as it comes so if you looking for glamour it’s not for you. However if you looking for genuine wood fired tasty pizzas then this is the gaff. Made very welcome and enjoyed a delicious traditionally made and cooked pizza served on a brown paperbag on a paper plate -no fuss no mess and bloody lovely 🤗
My first visit to the new premises. A little out of the way and I wasn’t sure what to expect after the cute little takeaway van. Happy to report that the eatery was busy on a sunny Friday evening. It has a lovely relaxed vibe (all ages, children, dogs), the pizzas are still amazing and they serve well kept cask beers. I will be back!
First time going to the new place instead of the trailer! Great atmosphere and even better pizza! Very friendly staff aswell. All round brilliant experience! Would recommend to everyone.
We’ve long been regulars of It’s a Pizza Thing at SWA but our first time at Belinda and Andy’s new venture. We were not disappointed. The pizzas were delicious as always, if not a little better! The relaxed vibe, tasty beers and warm welcome will keep us coming back.

Not quite what we expected - very basic set-up, but really lovely people. Some board-games on a shelf behind us. Great beer and the most fantastic pizzas! Beware, nothing else that isn't pizza-based, if that's important to you. We had garlic bread for starters, various pizzas for mains and then an amazing chocolate calzone (you get to chose your choc bars) for pudding ... thank goodness we only ordered one between four of us, though. Will definitely be back!!!
