“ Such a fantastic idea. Pizza thing van set up at a friendly pub. We love going there. My favourite it is the vegan garlic marmite pizza. It is divine. ”
“ It's a pizza thing could quite be one of my best pizza related experiences to date and I'm half Italian so I know a winner when I taste one. Belinda and Andy are both lovely and full of banter that will put a smile on your face as well as the food they serve. 100% recommended . ”
“ Loved the pizza van when it was by the South Western. This is even better! Great beer, great prices. If I had to complain at all, its simply that there aren't enough vegan options, but there's plenty of veggie and they do have vegan cheese! ”
“ Very good pizzas. The pizza thin bases were delicious especially liked the cheesy. The calzone was also very good. This place is not in your normal type, don't judge a book by its location or drive to get to it. Would definitely go back again. ”
“ Absolutely excellent pizza! The crust is perfectly made—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—and everything tastes fresh. The owner is super friendly and welcoming, which really adds to the experience. On top of that, the prices are great. This place is a gem—highly recommend! ”
“ Great pizza van situated outside the pub front on most Wednesday Thursday and Friday evenings. Great selection of pizzas, all homemade in front of you in the wood fired oven and make sure you get the garlic drizzle on top. Each pizza is around &10, can't go wrong. They're so damn good and a lovely couple running the show. And even better you can eat them in the pub over a pint. ”
“ Ridiculously good! It's such a treat to have freshly made, highly quality, super tasty pizzas handed straight to you from the lovely folks who run the place. I had The Chorizo pizza and The Veggie pizza with jalapenos, both were equally amazing. The pizza itself has a very thin base and a nice, crispy crust. Just the way I like it! If you can live with the immense guilt of eating too many calories, the Garlic butter and Chilli Oil topping is 100% recommended. Both at once... if you dare... I'll be honest... Based on all the photos, I went to this place expecting an eat-in restaurant, but it's actually all made in a van! No worries though, since you can take the pizza in the Southwestern Arms pub and enjoy it with a drink, if you like. They actually have decent options for vegetarians and vegans which is awesome! They could probably benefit from adding more information on their website, but for now, I've attached an updated menu. ”
