Diego's Joint — Restaurant in Sunderland

Me and my boyfriend visited as a late birthday celebration. Straight away you notice their unique furniture/decor and huge selection of local drinks. We ordered a pizza and cheesy garlic bread, 2 beers, and juice, and it was INCREDIBLE. All of the dough is fresh, cooked pretty much in front of you, and really cheap for the quality of it! This is the first food place where I’ve walked in and instantly felt at ease, the lady working (I think called Claire?) was so so lovely, she told us about the events they have on, one of them being a comedy night which sounds really good and we hope to be back for! Diego’s is named after their dog, and you’ll find most stuff in his name/decorated with his face on which adds a cute homely vibe to the place. We will DEFINITELY be back, this is going to be our new go-to place! We highly,...

Visited with my Boyfriend and Brother after visiting the Sunniside Local Heros food fayre. Was greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. The gentleman serving was friendly and chatty and so kind of him to help with the coffees bringing them over to the table. Service was very quick and the coffee was perfect. Loved the quirkiness and off beat vibe to the place, very chilled and laidback. Dog friendly. Lots of good deals and offers. Will definitely return to try the real ales. Prices were excellent. Good place to meet up with friends. Would be happy to go in alone.

Edit: Thank you Team Diegos for your response. I haven't tried the real ale (as it was about 11.30 am when I visited hence the 4 stars. When I do I will adjust the stars accordingly if I feel it's needed. Thank you...

What a lovely spot! We had been meaning to pop in for a while but never had until today. Mel was SO welcoming to us, and our two dogs who were absolutely spoilt with posh biscuits.

The reggae & ska music was great for a Sunday afternoon, the freshly made-to-order pizza was delightful and Mel's homemade lemon drizzle cake was a pure delight (her Nana's recipe). Oh, and I can't forget the special sausage treats from the doggie menu - everybody is catered for.

There is a wide selection of drinks at very good prices. We will definitely be back and might even be brave enough to try a quiz night!

Thanks for your warm and friendly...
