Dreaming Napoli — Restaurant in Barnsley

I found this place through Google reviews, and felt I needed to add another positive one.

I live a 15 minute drive from this place. Everywhere around us is poor to average, so we searched the area and saw what people had to say about this place. Thought we'd give them a try.

Looking at the menu, it seemed a little bit more limited than normal but seemed to use really good ingredients.

When we called to order, the guy answering was SO nice! An authentic Italian! In Barnsley! Brilliant! I was embarrassed to ask an Italian for pineapple on my pizza (yeah yeah, I know), but he was so sweet with my and really accommodating of me swapping ingredients around.

The place was dead easy to find, really near the main road, and was clean and snug. The smell hits you as you walk in, proper pizza dough.

He was as friendly in person as on the phone, even told me about a pineapple sauce that he makes himself. Going to try that next time!

So, onto the pizza. My god it was good. So authentic. The crust was SO good. I had a 4 cheese with pineapple and hubby had Nduja - generous on ingredients and great quality.

Normally I'd only have half and have the other half the next day. This is the first time in years I've had a full pizza in one go.

We'll definitely be coming here again, it's overtaken our normal favourite place. Thank goodness it was closed!

I didn't get a chance for photos this time as I demolished it the moment I got in the house, but next time, I'll update this with photos.

Keep up the good work.

EDIT: Just been for the third week running. It's now my day off treat. ☺️

Further edit.: I don't think we've gone more than 2 weeks without having a pizza from here, in 6 months. They've now moved to a restaurant in the centre of town, but it remains the best place for takeaway, authentic...

Really fed up of this place now. Never stays open til the advertised opening times. States open until 9.45 on Uber eats. I'm not an early eater so thought I'd leave it til later to order at around 9.30pm. Put items into basket so I can place order at 9.25 oh and guess what. No longer taking orders. This is the 3rd or 4th time they have closed earlier than advertised so I couldn't place my order. Even the website says open til 10pm. Extremely frustrating when trying to plan an order. Will take my custom else where now and not even bother trying to order anymore. Either stay open as your advertised times or alter your times! Saves customers disappointment when you close earlier than stated!

Edit: In reply to your comment, this is not the first time this has happened and there is always an excuse as to why you close early. It really is not good enough from a customer point of view. Either change your opening times or stay open until the advertised time. Gone elsewhere tonight and will...

So where do I start…..we found this little gem of a place as we was working round the corner and popped in to give it a go, we now come back every 2/3 week when we are in the area for one of his pizzas, the owner is an absolute legend, very polite, and goes the extra mile for his customers. The ingredients on his pizzas are all top quality and you can tell 👌 the deserts he has on offer are all amazing so would recommend people to try them. I’m sorry I didn’t take any pictures of the food because by time I get it I don’t have time to take a picture of it cos I can’t wait for it haha. ( Greedy I know ) the prices for the food in general is very reasonable also.

This place is a little GEM, if you haven’t tried it, do!

He’s also put a few extra seats outside for people to enjoy the food outside.

Hats off to the owner and keep doing what your...
