Il Pirata Pizzata — Restaurant in Bradford

I've waited several months before I wrote this review. Been several times now and each time every pizza and corresponding toppings have all been well balanced, flavourful and perfectly cooked. It's an open kitchen, so you can see them at work too ! They may not have a fancy pants, copper glad 100 thousand pound oven.... but what they do have is passion, creativity and a respect for ingredients. I watch them handle those dough pucks, light and pillowy with real life in it. Don't expect thick bases etc...you have to appreciate their particular style and allow the flavours and Chewiness of the dough to make your taste buds tingle. I love the simple, yet well thought out interior which reflects the chefs personality. The service is very friendly and non-judgemental. The team work well together and are very helpful. The atmosphere is great and they have a well thought out drinks selection. I'm not sure what else I can say, suffice to say it's a real Gem, worth a special journey for sure !

il-pirata were our go to pizza take out when they were a mere pop-up last year. We are so happy that they have made the leap and got their own premises locally to us, they knock the competitors out of the water. We finally got the chance to pop in yesterday afternoon and have a dine in experience. It’s evident that they have really taken care to do something different with the decor. It’s pretty special. Not the usual green/red combo. As for the food (the main event) it didn’t disappoint - I’m not a wordy type, so I’ll keep it short. It’s a revelation, like no pizza bread /topping you’ll get at your usual take away - absolutely dish-licious

We had: Diavola Marco Nibali Scarponi (veggie version) Margarita (for the kids) And some good...

Just finished my pizza in Il Pirata and very impressed. The pizza is amazing, the Biga dough beautifully light and airy and the quality of ingredients used on the toppings is plain to taste. If you are used to, and after, a regular pizza joint this isn't the place for you. This is beautifully crafted pizza with awesome ingredients in quirky setting. Service is great with a good selection of beers for the boys, possibly slightly lacking on the alcoholic side for the girls.

Great local little business using great ingredients knocking out great pizza.

My only gripe, and its one of the world in general rather than this place specifically, is that it's cashless which is a big bugbear of mine.

All in all though, if you like a pizza,...
