Best pizza restaurants near Southampton according to TripAdvisor
What A Pizza! Shirley
Rating: 5/5
Location: 162-164 Shirley Road, Southampton SO15 3FP England
"I’m a big pizza fan and honestly for me, this is the best pizza in town without a doubt-. Dough for me it’s just perfect. All ingredients look very fresh. We N ever had a problem and we are there at least once a month.
"If you fancy a really good pizza and a nice atmosphere with a very friendly staff just go to “What a pizza” you won’t be disappointed. Don’t forget to try beer with raspberry syrup. Leave space in your stomach for their delicious Tiramisu."
It's a Pizza Thing
Rating: 5/5
Location: 38-40 Adelaide Road, Southampton SO17 2HW England
"I love the pizza here more than any pizza anywhere, and yes I'd include Italy. It's the dough/crust as the first winner, then it's the balance of flavours on each variety. Having a pleasant ale in the pub with the pizza just tops it all off."
POPSI'S
Rating: 4.5/5
Location: 80 Bedford Place, Southampton SO15 2DF England
"Absolutely fantastic pizza. Great service including texts and emails (if you request them) confirming your order and letting you know when your pizza is ready for collection.
"Make it the perfect experience by enjoying some amazing craft beers across the road in beards and boards and ordering from there over a craft beer, or three."
Piccolo Mondo
Rating: 4.5/5
Location: 36 Windsor Terrace, Southampton SO14 7SL England
"Very tasty classic Italian cuisine with great portions and prices. The staff are friendly and attentive and the setting is so authentic, just like it is in Italia - they worry more about the food being good than about the decor."
Franco Manca
Rating: 4.5/5
Location: Westquay Shopping Centre Unit WM09, Watermark, Southampton SO15 1QF England
"The only place in Southampton where you will taste authentic Neapolitan pizza. Don’t waste your time with any other place selling pizza. This is the closest I have come to finding pizza that I eat in Naples. Only wish they had one in Winchester."
