This place was wonderful! Not only was the food amazing, it also had the service/atmosphere to match. I could eat their bruschetta and lasagna everyday! Everyone in the group loved their orders too. Thank to Sophie for being so lovely & experience even more memorable for the group with her service. I look forward to visiting again!
Authentic Italian pizza that is very delicious. Excellent customer service by the staff. The pizzas are at an affordable price. The service is fast and quick. This pizza is a must-try if you are in Cardiff. Very cozy atmosphere.
A Unique and Fun Team Activity – Pizza Making at Its Best! I was tasked with organising a staff social for a small group from our Cardiff-based team, and wanted to do something a bit different—ideally something food-related and hands-on. As a pizza lover, I hoped to find a local pizza-making class, but came up short… until I spotted that The Real Italian Pizza Co offered children’s pizza parties. We reached out, and they were happy to adapt the experience for adults. So we booked it—and we’re so glad we did. We were warmly welcomed by our hosts, Hester and Shesna, who greeted us with generous antipasto platters and offered drinks as we settled in. Once we were all fed and ready, Chef Kris took over and the real fun began. He gave us a quick intro to the pizza dough process, explaining the ingredients and techniques involved, and then we got hands-on with some dough kneading. It was a relaxed, friendly session—perfect for a group with mixed levels of culinary confidence! We moved on to shaping pizzas using pre-proven dough, choosing from a wide selection of fresh toppings. Kris talked us through the stretching technique and even joked that one of our team had shaped theirs so well, they might be hired on the spot. Finally, we brought our pizzas to the oven where Kris gave each one a final flourish before expertly firing them. Within minutes, we had our creations back, piping hot and delicious—ready to eat and compare (with plenty of banter, of course). Overall, it was a brilliant afternoon—something a bit different, easy to organise, and very well hosted. We’d definitely recommend it as a fun, food-focused alternative to the usual team lunch.
We were very nicely attended by Naomi. The pizza is excellent, cooked expertly and perfectly. The bresaola was excellent as well. I was fascinated by the wood oven. Wonderful experience. Recommended!
This is a really good place which may not be well known as it deserves to be. Good food, portions, service and vibe. Pizza crust was easy on the gums and jaw. Toppings flavoursome (though a little more sausage would have been nice). Chilli oil was volcanic. Gorgonzola mayo was doing well not to pour over the rim of it's pot. Bruschetta was stunning.
Having been to Italy, I know this is real Italian! The food was very delicious. I found the pizza heavenly. All staff were wonderful and a shout to Naomi for her exceptional service.
Ordered Vivace pizza, it was really good. The gnocchi I ordered was so so. The drinks with cucumber is really nice and refreshing too!
Pizza is made in a wonderful wood fired oven in this lovely place we discovered by chance. Fast, clean and friendly service. The pizza tasted very good!
