I’ve been a customer for 5 years - Paolo and the team deliver consistently excellent Neapolitan-style pizza. Absolute gem for Derby, hope they never leave Mr Grundy’s!
Delicious pizza as always. Good quality toppings. Good choice of vegetarian pizzas.
One of the best pizzas in the UK. I'm Italian, and this is exactly what you'd find in Naples. Great location with a beer garden and amazing service. Paolo is very friendly and professional. My wife and I have been regular customers since we moved to Derby in 2021. I would 100000% recommend it.
The pizza chef certainly knows how to bring the flavor of good Italian pizza to this small part of England: he is passionate, has good technique and uses excellent ingredients (even tomato sauce and mozzarella seem to come from across the Channel). A small note: metal plates cool the pizza too quickly, ceramic ones (especially if slightly heated, during the winter season) would preserve the crunchiness for longer!
Fantastic true Neapolitan-style pizza, very nice service, Great experience!!
This place is a hidden gem; the pizzas were unique and reasonably priced. I got the trademark “Stella” pizza. It was fresh and full of flavor, well worth the hype. I will be coming back here again to try all the unique topping combos they have.
at mr grundys tavern wed-sun, great pizza, crispy bottom and slightly thicker dough. Got the Stella which had filled corners with cheese and assortments of filling so great for those of us who are less decisive
If you know your pizza your mind will be blown!! This is truly authentic Neopolitian pizza made exquisitely. Those unfamiliar with the art of Neopolitian pizza may find the crust doughy and the middle squishy but to me these are pizzas of beauty, made lovingly withe the best authenitic ingredients and I have rarely sampled to this quality outside of Naples! If you want thin and crispy go to pizza hut... The Stella here is the best I've tasted outside of Naples and love the way they experiment with different ingredients and flavours. I was travelling 30miles for a decent pizza before this so over the moon to have such an amazing pizzeria in Derby!
