We stumbled across Al Forno as we were on our way into town for a pizza. We decided to try it out as it looked really nice and authentic (and my partner was getting hangry). I’m vegan and my partner isn’t, so it can be hard for us to find somewhere without having researched it beforehand but I thought if there aren’t vegan options I can just get a cheeseless pizza (it’s actually not bad). I was lucky enough that they had a whole vegan section of the menu. I can’t remember the last time I had so much choice! I forget which one I had, but it was soooo good. I did ask for half the amount of cheese, as vegan cheese can be a bit funny tasting. And while it was really tasty, I’m glad I only had half the cheese as I think it might have overpowered it otherwise. The flavours worked so well together, and the crust was so light and fluffy. They had a good pasta section too, so I can’t wait to go back and try that with some garlic bread. AND they had a vegan lemon cheesecake which I also can’t wait to try. It was a great find.

Looovvvveeeddd it! The restaurant it’s quite petit, but great flavor! The menu offers a lot of Vegan/ Vegetarian and Gluten free options! So that was great. Our pizza was delicious and definitely extended the expectations and w vegan cheese. We ordered the Al Pollo one (recomend it) The staff was the nicest! The waitress SO attentive and polite! I don’t remember her name but def hard working. For the price, for me a traveler was quite expensive and we ordered a Pizza and a glass of wine at it was £22 pounds. No desert no more drinks. So yeah :( They deliver in Uber eats and it was full of orders. The door kept opening. We went at night and it was packed, luckily we could sat down. But the wait was about an hour if there’s no more space. BE WARE. As it was a small place the noise was quite overweight, but the food made up for it. The decor is really nice. Definitely recommend

Al Forno is a busy and popular pizza restaurant that offers an extensive range of options. I went for the vegetarian Greek pizza, which was delicious and served up straight from the oven, cooked to perfection. The pizzas are large and very filling, but be sure to leave room for dessert! I had the tiramisu, which was delicious and also a large portion. The staff are friendly and welcoming and service is quick. The only very slight criticism I have is that the pizzas are served on a piece of paper, laid on a wooden platter. I’m sure this is for reasons of hygiene or something, but the paper has a tendency to get cut up and come away with the food, which is irritating. But don’t be put off, Al Forno is well worth a visit and you will leave satisfied and very full!

Just received our 2 pizzas & both boxes have clearly been turned on their sides. Really disappointing! Who, in their right mind, would tip a newly baked pizza box upright, rather than leaving flat? We order from Al forno fairly regularly & the pizzas taste great, but they can a bit hit & miss. Several months ago I got the best looking pizza I think I’ve ever had (I always opt for Fiorentina) It was like a work of art, (wish I’d taken a photo!) with plenty of toppings. Next pizza delivery, there was no comparison & toppings about a third of the previous - please, at least be consistent! And, today, to our squished pizzas! I’ve no doubt they will taste as good, but please instruct your delivery folk NOT to tip the boxes on their sides!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Al Forno Pizzeria, it was pretty good. The pizza was yummy and the service was excellent. I had the al funghi pizza with caramelised onions, which was pretty good. The crust was thin, fluffy, and the sauce was flavorful and not too acidic. We had chips on the side, which were cooked perfectly. The service at Al Forno was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and kind, and she made sure that we had everything we needed. Overall, I had a good dining experience at Al Forno Pizzeria. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the food arrived swiftly. For the quality of the pizza, I’d expect it to be cheaper. That’s where they lose a point.

As our AirBnB was next door, we wanted to try that Pizzeria we had a good feeling the day before when we got the key there. There was a lot of consumers the day before and same yesterday evening so decided to book for a more quiet time. Good idea... Well placed as requested, waitress was taking care of us. Pizzas were really good as done in a real fire place. The team work together in happiness. I can only recommend to try the place. I didn't put 5 stars because of the "surprise" on the bill... A 6.40£ fee in addition for the cutlery to eat there. It's common rule in Italy... I didn't know that UK restaurants are doing that also... So take care on that point or eat it at home...
