“ What a Pizza indeed! Since finding Barstool sports's pizza reviews on YouTube, I started to obsess over finding the best authentic pizza in Southampton. I found it. Absolutely brilliant and outstanding pizza! And even better? It's a local independent business. You can taste the freshness of ingredients. All their elements and sauces are homemade, and you can taste the love and care in them for sure. Everything here is crafted with authentic intent, and I was very fortunate to have a great chat with the owner. Lovely evening. Thank you for a brilliant dinner ”

“ What a beautiful little hidden gem I never knew existed so close to me! Easily best pizza in Southampton (and I’ve tried a lot of them). We had the Hot honey and Bianca, both were incredible! Especially with the chilli and garlic sauce made by them! Service was exceptional, really good vibes and extremely friendly. Can really tell they genuinely care about providing a really good quality of service for their customers. We had such a good experience here and left extremely pleased and full! Definitely recommend trying the tiramisu and their current special of chocolate ice cream with pistachio both 10/10! We will be coming back here again and again... and again! ”

“ Great Pizza and great owner. We visit regularly and enjoy a warm welcome, great service, a nice chat and of course the delicious pizzas and starters. Also check out their specials and recommendations. They don't do ordinary standard Pizza, they have a good mix of toppings. Btw: Order a Magarita cocktail! If you are the driver, they also do mocktails with alcohol free spirits. The Pizza Place to go for in Southampton. ”
“ Absolutely fantastic! Arrived late after a long day of travelling and this did not disappoint! Pepperoni, goats cheese and hot honey pizza. Can’t recommend enough :) ”
“ Went to What a Pizza last night,fairly busy but as usual the food,service and atmosphere were excellent. The meat platter to start was spot on,spicy meat feast pizza could not fault. Kam does a great Margarita Cocktail and the homemade limoncello to finish with ended a great evening all at a resonable cost. Was great to see a passionate independant business doing well. Will be back. ”
“ What a pizza, what a place! As soon as you’re in the door you’re greeted with great customer service, so welcoming and friendly. The garlic bread was hands down the best I’ve ever had, and everything about the pizza was perfect. 2 full pizzas, 1 garlic bread, and 2 cokes came to around 40, you struggle to find restaurants with customer service and food this good at this price. 100% recommend. ”
