Legitimately the best restaurant in Bedford! Super friendly, incredibly tasty pizzas, and the best salad dressing I've ever had! Been coming here from years, and now I'm no longer living in Bedford I miss it! To the extent that I asked to come here on my birthday on a visit back Here for a meal on Saturday evening and it's just like I remember, a real family restaurant. I don't think the prices have actually increased in the last 15 years

I was out with friends for Christmas and the Pizzeria delivers pizza to the pub next door to eat, but I wanted to sit down and enjoy a meal, didn't turn me away as I was on my own and it was a busy Saturday night had a lasagna, garlic bread, coke, tiramisu and cappuccino came to about 24, all was excellent, can't wait for our next excursion to Bedford my friends will definitely join me. Have a happy new year.

Had an excellent meal here, seems like a proper traditional Italian place, if a tad basic in the tables etc. The food was on point though, one of the finest pizza's I have had, prices are very very reasonable, especially given the quality. Would 100% recommend. On recommended dishes it doesnt list the Diavola pizza that I had, so I have edited this to show that. Duncan

I have been coming here for a few years and have never had a bad pizza! Authentic Italian pizzas made in their pizza oven! The only bad thing I would say is that sometimes the crusts can be a bit over done but you do get that in the way these pizzas are cooked! Bedfords hidden gem!

Really nice genuine Italian atmosphere, the oldest pizzeria in Bedford. Genuine stone oven baked pizza at reasonable prices. Very tasty and satisfying pizza which is very generously portioned.

The best pizza around for years now. Family run with fantastic atmosphere and service. And the salad.... oh my god, I love their salad.... as much as the pizza. It's a great night out with friends.
