Busy. Really nice staff who helped me to charge my phone as needed it to orientate myself. Really nice. The pizza was yum...deffowithin the top 5 of pizzas I've ever had. Go!

Warm welcoming atmosphere and the best pizzas in York, very family friendly.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend.

We travel for 1 hour and a half to eat here, delicious pizza, like in Italy. Friendly staff, quick service. Everything is amazing, we don't have time to take photos, the food disappeares in seconds.

The best pizza in England! The place is very cozy, fanrastic atmosphere and the staff was super friendly, especially Elena! Well done all, we'll defenetely come back 🫶

Felt like we were back in Italy! All I can say is wow, definitely one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had and the homemade tiramisu was divine! What a way to spend an evening in York. Very welcoming staff, very attentive and always wanting to help! Couldn’t fault

Great Napoletranean pizza ... only thing missing was the Mediterranean sea. Excellent service and atmosphere. Pietro, waiting staff and pizzaioli are great. A must in York, ciao!

Best place to have Pizza ever in York!! Guys are awesome. Amazing hospitality.

We drove all the way from Newcastle to try pizza at Cresci and were not disappointed! Amazing authentic pizza and starters, better than what you would find in a lot of pizzerias in Italy. Elena and the staff are professional and helpful and prices very reasonable. We will return for sure,!

While the restaurant did seem like it was still being put together, the overall ambience was very good. The food was amazing, and easily the best garlic bread I've had in a long time! Great staff too - very polite, friendly and helpful.

The food is of great quality and the staff were all friendly and helpful, special thanks to Elena who was extremely attentive throughout

Incredible food. Fantastic portions and very lovely staff. Our waiter Cristina was so friendly and kind. Closest thing to Italy outside of Italy. The Venue itself was cozy and very clean and also very welcoming. I highly recommend going. 10/10

Excellent pizza and service. Very kind and helpful staff.

I loved this place! We came back 2 days in a row because it was so good! We tried 4 different types of pizzas, and all were great. The best was the pomodoro pizza!

Best pizza I've had for ages. Loved the little potato fritters, and the pizza with Lardo on top was excellent. Great for families or for a get together with friends. Proper pizzas, straight out the oven, to your table. Service was warm and efficient.

We went in on a Monday evening without a booking and were found a table upstairs. It was nice and clean with pleasant decor. The beer menus were a bit tatty but don’t let that put you off. All the staff were friendly. The service was good and we were well looked after and the pizzas were fresh and tasty.

Best pizza in York. La Norma is my absolute favourite and chef armando made it perfectly. If you want authentic Italian pizza this is the place to go. Service excellent and food even better. 5 stars is not enough. Mi piace da morire. grazie mille. :)

Amazing pizza, you wouldn’t think this place is in uk, feels exactly like Italy.

As Italian, this place is absolutely APPROVED ♥️ Ben fatto ragazzi!

Really nice. Excellent pizza and wonderful friendly service. Great for families!

Delicious food! Both our pizzas were delicious and we loved the crust. Come before the dinner rush or make a reservation because seating seemed a little tight

Lovely authentic Italian-Napolitan restaurant. It's hard to find places where you can taste a good pizza as if you were in Napoli. Great value for food and the staff are very friendly, the guy at the entrance (don't know the name sorry) was super friendly and provided a great welcome, our waitress Monali was also very friendly and attentive. I would recomend it.

6 of us met up here to get our weekend off to a good start. The staff are lovely - knowledgeable and welcoming and the food is fantastic. This is a place where even a dairy-free pizza is not a problem!!

We’ve never been to York before and we stumbled upon this place whilst exploring the city center on our first evening. I’ve never felt so welcome. From the second we walked in it was honestly just a fantastic experience. The food, the staff, all of it was an easy 10/10. If I’m ever in town again. I’ll be sure to visit. Thank you.

BEST PIZZA EVER. The dough was absolutely perfect: better than any pizza I’ve had in the uk. The tomato sauce was… *chefs kiss*. The cheese was impeccable. I went to Italy last year and tried a lot of good pizza, this one was better than all of them. Staff were so nice and friendly!! Good vibe overall. Would give 6 stars if possible…

Amazing italian pizza place around the corner!!!! Heaven on earth!!! Felt right at home !!!

This is an unforgettable experience. Daniele was a charm, he made us feel at home. The food was delicious and we would relocate in York just to be close to the place. Greatly recommended to anyone looking for great time and great food.

The best pizzaa, best cannolo and people ever♥️

A little loud but the foods good

Incredible pizza enjoyed by the whole family. Cristina was great. Top service

The food was unreal ! The staff were amazing and the smell soon as you walk in! If you wasn’t hungry before you will be !!! Thanks for a great evening guys !

Fantastic Pizza cooked to perfection.

Finally stopped in to try this place today - pizza is gorgeous and an absolute bargain, especially in somewhere as pricey as York, and the lady who served me was so friendly and welcoming. 10/10

Amazing pizza and frittatina napoletana! I’m Italian and I can assure you that this pizza is the real Neapolitan one and tastes way better than the average one in Italy. Thanks also to Elena, very welcoming and kind.

Atmosphere is amazing and you get well looked after, all of the food speaks for itself and ifs a perfect example of true Neapolitan pizza. If you have any doubt on where to eat tonight let this reviews make your mind up. We will be travelling down from the NE to eat here again asap!

What can I say! Food is exceptional, traditional and authentic. Service is second to none your really do feel welcome and feel like you’re being looked after by a family.

On the advice of locals I tried this Pizzeria . The location is beautiful , the staff is very nice and they understand your desire. The pizza is so good, prepared with the best ingredients.

All things considered I think this is the best place to eat in York. - The service is friendly, familiar and efficient. Exceptional in my opinion. - the decor is all really nice, clean, open and has views onto Piccadilly - The prices are reasonable, not ‘cheap’ per-se, but definitely reasonable. One can get a Margherita for £8.90 and there are no service charges or tipping pressure when paying. - The pizza is as good as you get anywhere , I’ve been to Naples and eaten the pizza, this is as good as those famous Naples pizzerias if not better. - Welcoming environment/atmosphere for families and also completely comfortable for people dining solo, like me! I come here 2 - 3 times a year, today was my 1st time this year and the place never fails to delight me.

The best Italian pizza in York. Excellent attention too. 10/10

We visited with some friends, and the staff were wonderful. The food was truly authentic Italian! The only downside was being seated near the door, which caused a draft whenever people entered or exited. I’d recommend requesting a table upstairs to avoid this.

Espectacular pizza italiana. Realmente el mejor lugar de York para comer una excelente pizza italiana. Rico? No, riquísimo! 10/10.

We ordered pizza, beer and an exquisite lemonchello! Everything was amazing! Super recommended! The best Italian pizza in York! 🍕 The staff is super friendly and helpful. We will definitely return!!

Pedimos pizza, cerveza y un exquisito lemonchello! Todo estuvo increíble! Súper recomendable! La mejor pizza italiana de York! 🍕 El personal es super amable y servicial. Sin duda volveremos!!

Service: the service was lovely! Everyone was so nice and welcoming! Best service I’ve ever had. Food: 1- the pizzas are to die for. They use San marzano tomatoes, so the sauce is divine! And the dough was excellent.

Really great pizza and good friendly service. A really enjoyable evening and would definitely visit again..

Awesome experience this is now our go to

Went for a quick bite to eat this afternoon, brilliant pizzas with an amazing selection of toppings! All made better by enthusiastic and polite service :) Definetely recommend!

Wow, pizza was great but what I’m really here to review is the incredible service! My husband and I visited on our trip to York last weekend and we were looked after by the lovely waitress Ruby. She took excellent care of us and gave amazing recommendations when we asked where else to go in York. Her suggestions made our weekend! Seemed genuinely interested in talking to us, was knowledgeable about the menu and told us to get a pizza we ended up LOVING! Although it was busy and she was running around everywhere, she still made time to see to us and we really enjoyed chatting to her. Would highly recommend this restaurant for a great experience!

It was my first time at Cresci Pizzeria and I really enjoyed my meal, the staff were also lovely/friendly. Will come again,

You cannot miss this restaurant in York! It’s genuinely one of the best pizza places I’ve ever tried. They also have many halal options if preferred. Lastly ofcourse do NOT miss their tiramisu and thank you to Christina for the wonderful customer service.

You enter the restaurant and you feel like you're in Italy, excellent quality products, fantastic pizza and appetizers!

Great pizza. It was really exceptional and we loved the taste. I guess our pizzas were cooked with love.

Decided to visit for a pizza whilst in York after reading the fantastic reviews and we were very glad we did. Service was attentive and quick. Pizza was tasty, hot and fresh. What a great choice, we highly recommend visiting.

Excellent, superb pizza, service and atmosphere.

Very tasty food and original menu!! The tiramisu in and out of this world, sooo delicious. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed Cresci pizzeria and discovered it thanks to a link a friend sent us for recommendations to eat before we went to the theatre. The service was welcoming, and the food arrived very quickly. We sat by the window and it was good watching the world go by! I had a calabrese which was delicious.

From the outside I didn't expect to much but as we passing by very hungry we noticed this place seen the food on someone's table and said we should go in here. After walking around a bit we came back, very friendly staff what welcomed us in, it was a busy day but managed to find us a table. Probably the best pizza iv ever had. That k you so much to the staff and owner you made are night lol. Keep up the good work.

Relaxed pizzeria, gluten free bases available on the pizza although no gluten free dessert options. Good pizza, pleasant staff.

Excellent pizza with great service at a good price. The owner went above and beyond to accommodate our reservation for our party of 8. Highly recommend.

Having dined in London extensively, from high-end establishments to more relaxed venues, I can confidently place Cresci among the top three pizzerias I have ever experienced. Every bite of the Diavola Pizza teleported the chef’s dedication and mastery. This is more than just excellent food—it is a testament to the passion and precision put in by the chef. Cresci deserves recognition for the exceptional quality they deliver, and it undoubtedly stands out as a culinary gem in this city.

Fantastic pizzas with tasty, high quality ingredients and bases. We enjoyed everything about our first visit tonight and understand why it was so popular. I wish we lived closer!

This review is long overdue. I’ve been to Cresci many times before and adore it, the food is absolutely incredible and some of the best pizza in the UK. The service, however, is the best part by far, and one specific event still stands out to me. When I had a medical issue during a visit our server, Christina, went above and beyond for me and helped immensely. She made a genuine difference, which I will always be grateful for. When we returned another day we were delighted to be served by her again; she was so kind and friendly and left a sweet note on our receipt. Grazie mille to everyone at Cresci - especially Christina!

The best pizza in town, actually the best pizza I ever had! I definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to have a bite of italy in york.

We had food there a while ago and today we’re still talking about how good it is. That says a lot. This place literally has a certified issued by The True Neapolitan Pizza Association, and there are only about 1100 of them in the world. Friendly staff, quick service, spacious dining space, extremely good food, wouldn’t mind driving for hours to York just to have food there again.

Truly Authentic Pizza! These were absolutely the best pizzas we have eaten outside of Italy. The perfect base, San Marzano DOP tomato base, and proper Parma Ham, every element tasted exquisite. This may sound OTT, but with 3 now grown children we have eaten a lot of pizza, in many different countries, and different regions of Italy, and these pizzas were up there with the very best. We were lucky enough to get the last table, early on a Saturday and were welcomed by the Italian family owners. It had a lovely atmosphere, and a real buzz, and was really busy, so I would make sure and book!

Such a nice Pizzeria in the middle of York that tastes like proper Italy. Sizes are good and you get them for a reasonable price.

£11 total more or less quick nice atmosphere

Pizza was delicious, the dough in particular was very light and airy. Service was good with friendly waitresses. Will definitely be returning

I had a great yesterday afternoon at Cresci. The pizza was amazing and the service was perfect especially Monali, she was knowledgeable & offered fantastic recommendations.The food was perfect. We tried different pizzas and all of them were nice and super tasty. I definitely recommend and I'll be back soon. Great experience at Cresci

Visited here today earlier for the first time and the pizza was definitely one of the best I’ve had in UK, been to Naples many times now and this was certainly equal to the pizzas over there.

It's just as delicious as the pizza I had in Italy.

Reservation required, great staff and delicious food

Really busy which is a good thing, most enthusiastic staff I have experienced in a long time and the (vegan) pizza was amazing. We sat upstairs which I think I would prefer. Definitely somewhere to return to! 🥹

Lovely people! Pizza a little watery, but still delicious nonetheless.

Very good pizza, proper one. Well done guys, you really rock 😜

Had an amazing time, brilliant food, great service. Thank you Sabrina!

Really good atmosphere, food and service from Sabrina!

A real Neapolitan pizzeria in York! Thank you for this (its in fact!) pizza(s) really very good I also recommend the rum baba and finally a real espresso in England

Been coming to cresci for many years now, the most authentic Italian stone baked pizza in the city and by far and away the best! Really friendly staff who will go out of their way to make sure you are looked after, delicious pizza and great prices. Spoiler- their tiramisu is out of this world!!! One of the best I've ever tried, so make sure you save some space

Trully original Italian taste! Brilliant staff. Simply the best pizza in York. Recommend 10/10

Superb, delicious pizza and the loveliest friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend stopping here.

I went to Cresci with my friends for dinner, and we had an amazing time. The pizza was absolutely delicious, just like the ones I have in Italy. From the moment I walked in, even though I was in the UK, I felt like I was in Italy for a few hours. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the customer service was perfect. Thank you, Cresci Pizzeria, for a fantastic evening!

very good food and pleasant experience. The staff is really kind and friendly

Best pizza I've ever had in the UK. Service is absolutely outstanding. Super friendly staff! AMAZING!

nice and welcoming place, very good food, staff is polite and efficient. It has been a good experience and I will go there again.

Amazing service and lovely decor! Amazing pizza and the best tiramisu I’ve ever had… The staff were lovely shout out to Nicole for being so lovely!

Hands down the best pizza I have ever had! Couldn’t recommend it enough, it’s a lovely restaurant and Nicole was wonderful. I would also recommend a tiramisu because it was otherworldly. It’s giving that ratatouille flashback if you get me.

Fantastic traditional Italian Pizza! Tasted just like we were in Italy! Fab atmosphere, wine, and pizza! We ordered a few different pizzas and each one was fantastic. The fritattina Cacio e Pepe blew our minds and even the simplest pizzas were delicious! Also the best Tiramisu I have ever had! Proper home made and delicious! It’s a limited menu more for traditional pizza lovers so if you’re a fussy eater probably go to spoons and enjoy your chips but if you love pizza and love authenticity it’s one of the best in York

If you're in York and looking for authentic neopolitana style pizza this is the place to go. As a pizzaiolo myself, this exceeded all my expectations. Pizza cooked beautifully, great selection of wines and I could have the tiramisu every day. Also special thanks to our server Christina, your service was the cherry on top of an amazing experience!

As an Italian I can assure you that it is the best pizzeria in York! Very kind staff, Cristina you are the best!

Great place for really good pizzas and Italian sweets. The menu is only small, in respect of the starters and sweets, but it's the pizzas you go for. We were recommended to go and try the place while visiting york. We booked a table in advance with it been the weekend, it was a good thing because the staff were turning people away - very popular ( would recommend asking for a table upstairs,if possible when booking- downstairs can get busy with people coming and going, at times. The staff and service we could not fault,we really enjoyed our evening. Many thanks for all your hard work.

Delicious pizza. We went for a birthday party and were well looked after. The extra toppings were overlooked by most, but i added gorgonzola to a tasty ham and cheese pizza which made it..

Authentic Italian pizza. Reasonably priced.

Great food, friendly staff, good vibes. 5 stars

Great vibes even better pizza. Thank you Christina!

Want a great pizza in York?!.. of course you do, why wouldn’t you? Anytime is a good time for pizza, and fresco do the best in the city, great fire baked pizza bases, tangy tomato sauce amazing mozzarella that’s both creamy yet tasty at the same time with imaginative toppings. Don’t believe me!! Go see for yourself, just not when I’m trying to get a table or a takeaway please( though it’s worth waiting for!!

Pizza was amazing! Great service! Great atmosphere! Elena was brilliant ! Definitely we will be back ! It is the best pizza in York!

Had the most divine experience at Cresci Pizzeria, I was catching up with a dear friend. The food and atmosphere were top notch, couldn’t recommend more. Chefs kiss. We were served by Nicole, she was absolutely delightful and made the experience even better.

Came here with a friend and the atmosphere was lovely, the pizza was really tasty and the service, by Nicole, was brilliant!

Had such a lovely experience here, Nicole who served us was very friendly and made our experience really great. The pizza is really great too!
