Davardi's in Salford

Amazing food, Wonderful atmosphere and very pleasant/accommodating staff. i would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone in the area or close by. The food never seizes to disappoint and has had customer returning for decades now!

Really go pizza’s an good service top draw 10 out 10 servers

Service was fast not that many in eating staff was friendly I've never tried here before my boyfriend family said how nice this used to be so gave it a go I got half meatball half English pizza got to say it wasn't the best the meatballs was bland and so was the pizza it was also soggy not good at all my boyfriend said that wasn't how he remembered it never again overrated

Best pizzas I have ever tasted, other dishes available. Excellent service and the facilities to eat in and bring your own wine/beer . Excellent.

Just moved here from Canada and haven’t been able to find a good local pizza place until now. Pizza is great, service is great and prices are great

Superb pizzas and great service - nothing too much trouble for the staff. Thanks 😊

Ordered pizza on line ,went to pick up after an hour still not ready had to wait another 30 minutes, got the 2 pizzas home totally over cooked no cheese on either one and totally over priced .Just not the same standard of food they use to produce as myself and my partner have been using divardis for years

Went to this place many moons ago but decided to try it again because we had just tried a new place near us on new hall lane and we wanted a comparison. Apart from the decor it was as though we hadn’t been away. Staff as friendly. Atmosphere very much as good and food excellent. If you’ve not tried this place then all I can say is WHY NOT.

A lovely evening out with family, celebrating an 85th birthday. Can't fault food or service. Has been refurbed since my last visit. Would recommend to others, make sure you book a table. They offer take out as well

Used to be an institution. Been coming here over 35 yrs. Nicely decorated shame about the food! Bland ! Meatballs tasted off!

Fabulous service. Not in your face all the time and food is excellent. Bonus you can take your own alcohol. Local too

Been going to divardis since I myself was a toddler! Now we drive 25 mins to pick up a takeaway and give my daughter the same experience! Fabulous as it always has been! 100% worth the drive to get pizza this good, the BEST for miles 😋🍕

We came to Davardi’s a few weeks ago for a family meal. We were not disappointed at all. The atmosphere , food and service was brilliant! A special mention to the young lad who looked after our table for the night. He’s a credit to your team! 👏🏼

I've been coming here for 30 years and it's still as good now as it was then.

Excellent food great service sadly very small seating area

This is the best pizza bar, you will ever find in your entire life! 💕💕💕 No one can beat this place, it's just amazing🥰🥰🥰

I was very disappointed with my recent visit to the pizzeria. The service was slow, the food was poor quality, and the prices were excessive. I certainly will not be returning anytime soon.

Very relaxed Atmosphere. Very relaxed Service. Forgot a couple of items we had ordered. But took them off of our bill.

Came as part of a group of 11 for a birthday meal. The atmosphere was chilled and relaxed. The venue can be described as cosy. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was lovely, clean plates all round. Would like to come back.

Must admit I only found Davardi's when dating my then Girlfriend, now wife, in the mid 80's. I remember if you phoned a say 6pm your pizza would be ready for 8-30pm. This is not a criticism this is really how busy the place is. I have never had a better Pizza ever, before or since. I live in Spain now, and have always tried to try a Pizza from reviews but honestly they have never compared to Davardi's. I'm back to the UK next week and make a point of getting over for one

We placed an order at 5.57 pm tonight told just over an hour it’s now 19.40 pm I rang and was told we are busy I’ve been up and Woking since 5am ?????never ordering again no discount nothing !!!!!!!

Been coming here since 1975..always been great food service & atmosphere!!

Take away American and garlic mushrooms. The best. I will be back

Been going here since i was about 18 now 57. Think that speaks for itself 😊

Davardis has been around as long as me, and that should tell you something! Yes most great things were created in the 70s. Called in a couple of weeks ago to eat in, and we weren't disappointed. I decided to go for the Irish and the other half had the special, which was a meaty option. Pizzas came out quite quickly and hot. They were also eaten quite quickly as they were so tasty! It is no wonder that this fabulous little place has survived so long. 😊 The staff are friendly, the service is fabulous and the pizzas are out of this world! They also run as a takeaway too. Just one thing to note the restaurant section is not licensed so if you want to have a drink with your pizza uou can bring your own bottle and glasses if preferred. However we just had soft drinks in the glass tumblers provided.

Favourite family place for pizza

Brilliant food again for 18 people. Well done Davardi team!

My first visit to Davardi's was back in 1971! My First ever pizza. It was nice to be able to sit in to eat out pizzas today. Delicious . Lovely friendly service

Absolutely Gorgeous! Staff as always Wonderful! Food "By far the best Pizza I've ever had!" Atmosphere lovely ! We love it here... When it was sold Many years ago I thought "Oh No!" But Sarah & Tom are doing an amazing job! Keep it up guys xxx You have life long custom from us xxx

Been going to Davardis for over 40 years , had 3 owners in that time, the food has remained consistently good and its a bring your own booze. Well worth a stop off for a friendly no nonsense evening. Small dining room so booking is recommended.

Been going for 50years always enjoyed plus u take your own wine in 👍😁

Wonderful pizzas never had a bad pizza be here old favourite half Irish Half American with extra meatballs and onions stunningly cooked will be back soon.

Omg came here last Saturday night and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff where all lovely and friendly ......thankyou to you all and Chelsea that served us ❤️

Amazing food as always! Would recommend this to anyone who is after a delicious pizza!

Fantastic pizza takeaway with authentic traditional pizzas. Best pizza takeaway around! The Italian potatoes with cheese and tomato are superb!!

Nice pizzas probably the tastiest I've tasted in a very long time in the Salford. Mine was Veggie would of loved a bit more Cheese. Had mushroom in a sauce lack of Mushrooms & Sauce.

Been coming here for over 30 years, the best pizzas ever, service with a smile and chat, like family, we took our kids, and now our grandkids, they all love it to, hats off to Davardi's, we have seen the changes in in generations, but the food is still the highest quality, they care about their customers.

Best Pizzas ever ! Often have them delivered too ! Irish with meatballs is my absolute favourite and the garlic bread

Been going here since I was child and now my grown up girls love it too. The best pizzas 🍕 ❤️

Can’t fault this place, never a bad meal in the many years that we’ve been going! Always friendly service too

I've been coming here for over 40 years, and suppose I've just taken it for granted. However, my sister and grandkids came up to visit from Devon, and i suggested pizza for a treat. The kids all loved the thinness of the base with the lush toppings, and my sister has put in an order for me to take some down next time i visit. She reminded me it was her that took me there for my very first time many, many years ago, and that the pizza's are still as tasty now as they were back then. Think i need to try one again this weekend 🤔

This is probable the best pizza place in Salford! It’s like a hidden little gem as it’s certainly not on any ordering app and you have to know it’s there! If you’re in the area pop in and grab a fantastic pizza, want to eat in book ahead as this lovely pizza bar with a smile is always booked well in advance!

The most amazing place to be reading the reviews after coming for many years makes me wonder what is wrong with humanity the most beautiful kind staff and amazing food ever and at a bargain price if you don’t enjoy this your absolutely crazy 😜

Had take aways recently but not been in the restaurant for about 35 years it was a place we used to frequent every weekend in our younger days. Food was extremely good and staff so friendly will deffo be back again soon

Well...what can I say? My uncle has been coming here since he was a kid and has always raved about it (they've been open 50+ years). They definitely keep it old skool with limited web presence, not even a working website and they only open 4 nights a week, it's definitely one of those places where if you know, you know 🤪 I finally got to go with him and the family to eat lots and lots of pizza for a family member's birthday meal and oh it didn't disappoint!! We tried lots of different ones and they were all really good. Nice and fresh, thin crisp bases with loads of flavour. The service was brilliant too. Hope to be back soon to try some more pizzas. Yum!

Ordered 18 pizzas to collect for a party, food was hot and on time and delicious as always! Can never fault this place been going for years

I've been coming to Davardi's for 30 years and it's been 5 stars all that time. Great job, best pizzas around!

Nice place lovely staff and nice price.

Great food and great friendly service

Ordered some pizzas and garlic breads for my brother's birthday party. Always been the best pizzas ever and didn't disappoint. Fabulous service as well

The most delicious pizza and such a wonderful, family run restaurant. We feel like part of their family!

Great family owned business with the best pizzas around

Not been for a while but so disappointed. Pizza was rock hard and overcooked. Ordered tiramisu and it was tasteless. No coffee etc in it just cream and huge chunks of chocolate.

They managed to squeeze us in last min no booking, really friendly great service and always fab food

I order first time and for sure I order again but don't forget slice pizza 🍕🍕🍕😅😉 Vegetarian pizza 😋 yummi

Really nice pizzas and staff are always friendly and pleasant. Here and Harry's pizza are by the best in the Walkden/Worsley area!

The best for miles around. Made from fresh ingredients. Great Pizza and Italian food. This is the only place we go for Pizza. Eat-in or free delivery.

Love it!!!! Been going for ages with my family, my grandparents and parents love it and so does my cousin and aunty and uncle

Top quality pizza, been going here for over 25 years! Pizza has never changed food has always been excellent Easily one of the best if not the best pizza’s I’ve had up to now!

First Class, fully loaded, perfectly cooked pizzas. Long term customers both inside and take away and never disappointed.

The pizzas here are just on another level I’ve been going for 40 years and one of the biggest compliments I can give is that though ownership has changed the food is just the same. Michelin star pizzas, comparable to no other. Think that’s over the top then go and try for yourself

I ordered for the first time after a friend recommended davardis for years they delivered restaurant quality homemade food the lasagne was delicious nice rocket salad and rosemary wedges thin base of garlic bread and king prawns on toasted bread it was all super scrumptious and great value the portion size of the lasagne could have fed 2 we couldn't eat all the wedges and half the bread we were stuffed delivery as well what more can you ask for nice well prepared home cooked food will be back thanks for a lovely meal

After being told these were the best pizzas etc, place a take away order. Obviously a busy place with a small restaurant area at the rear. My order consisted of two Garlic breads, two Pizza's and side's. The garlic breads were at best average, the pizza was very poor, ingredients tasted cheap, the cheese absolutely tasteless. The only upside was the side coleslaw, which apart from being in a polystyrene cup was very nice. Overall for over £45 it was vastly overpriced. Sorry but i won't be returning.

Ordered takeaway pizza as a change from our usual place but wish we hadn't. the pizza were very mediocre and didn't have the authentic taste at all and the base of the pizza certainly didn't taste handmade. The toppings were poor too. Also ordered the rosemary and sea salt potatoes which were terrible - very greasy. wont be hurrying back I am afraid

We've been using Davardi's for donkey's years - best thin crust for miles. I moved out of area - but HAVE to get a Swedish with meatballs whenever I'm back in Farnworth or Walkden

La primera vez que comí pizza de Davardi en 1973 y solía venir de forma regular. Sin embargo, había pasado bastante tiempo desde la última vez que estuve, sabía que había cambiado de propietario hace unos años, ya que había conocido a miembros de la familia del nuevo propietario durante las vacaciones. Me complació mucho descubrir que, aunque las cosas se habían actualizado, el espíritu original de Davardi todavía estaba presente. Menú bastante simple 'pero con muchas opciones de topping de pizza. El comedor estaba ocupado, pero se las arreglaron para acomodarnos. Hubo una corta espera por la comida ya que era un sábado por la noche muy ocupado. La comida era tan buena como siempre. El proyecto de ley llegó a un precio razonable de 29. 90 para una pizza de pan de ajo, gambas al ajillo, 1 pizza alemana mediana, 1 pizza especial de davardi mediana y 2 refrescos. Volveremos, ojalá con más frecuencia.

¡Tuve Davardis por primera vez después de mudarme a Worsley hace casi un año y pasarlo cada vez que vamos de compras siempre diciendo que debemos intentarlo! Nos lo entregaron esta noche (sábado) 2 pizza, pan de ajo y gajos para 27, ¡incluida la entrega! ¡Realmente no podía fallar nada cuando llamamos por teléfono y nos dijeron que fácilmente sería una hora, que era exactamente! La comida estaba caliente y fresca muy agradable a todos nos gustó nuestra comida! Definitivamente lo intentaré de nuevo.

I’ve been here frequent times and the service and the food is excellent. Pizzas are always up to standard and I’d definitely recommend Davardis to anyone.

Me han dicho lo bueno que es Davardis y tenía la intención de llamar durante mucho tiempo. Pedí la carne carnosa y fue excelente. He derribado una estrella porque después de una hora tenía una sed ardiente, una señal segura de que la pizza estaba muy salada. Sin embargo, volvería, los sabores eran excelentes.

He sido cliente de Davardi por muchos años. NUNCA he tenido una mejor pizza, nunca se ha cocinado demasiado, hay muchos ingredientes y siempre hace calor en la entrega.Generalmente uso su servicio de entrega y, aunque la entrega puede demorar hasta una hora, siempre me informan de eso cuando hago mi pedido.Todo el personal es educado, amable y excelente en lo que hacen.Recomiendo encarecidamente Davardis a cualquiera porque, en mi opinión, hacen la MEJOR pizza en el Reino Unido.

We have had several take always from the Monton Restaurant and they have always been excellent However, last night we order sides and they we all tasteless Garlic mushrooms was more like soup Italian tomatoes didn’t have any taste Wedges soggy We

Horrendous service. If you order over the phone please ring the day before. They take forever. Also repeat your order 5 times because the girl on the phone is a der der

Definately not as good as they used to be or as i remembered them. We ate in, thought it was overpriced as well for what we. Other ratings seem to disagree but its my honest opinion. Was'nt bad just ok.

Seguí viendo muchas fotos geniales en las redes sociales, así que decidimos intentarlo. Mi esposo fue a recoger las pizzas. Cuando llegó a casa, olía a podrido de las cajas. Tan pronto como abrí la primera caja, era obvio que era queso quemado.

Estado yendo o davardis desde los años 70 - no ha sido últimamente - fuimos y pedimos comida para llevar x 3 grandes davardi especiales y patatas al horno con queso), volví después de 20 minutos, qué colección magnífica comida! - no puedo esperar para nuestra próxima visita que será muy pronto.

Mi marido y yo hemos estado viniendo a Davardis durante más de 40 años y las pizzas y platos de pasta es excepcionalmente bueno. Normalmente comer en como puede tomar su propio vino y cerveza por un pequeño cargo de servir licor. Toda la familia han crecido comiendo pizzas davardis. El personal es acogedor y amable. Espero que se viene aquí por muchos años.

Ordered Pizzas for collection and arrived on time but was told Pizzas had been burnt. Waited again and unbelievably was told Pizzas had been burnt AGAIN !!!! Eventually after 45 mins. my Pizzas were ready. Well .when I got home one was still burnt and the Italian potatoes were dried up. The rest were below average and having used Davardis many times I can honestly say these were the worst ever, It will be a long time before I think about using Davardis again . Kath

After two takeaways from Davardi's (both Walkden and Monton), we're completely sold on the pepperoni pizza and can see it being a regular treat! The pepperoni is delicious - cut really thickly - and when you add jalapenos, it's perfection!

I have been coming here for 25 years. Made a special effort to get there for the evening when back up north.

Lovely pizza place for takeaway or eat in. Only a small restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Staff very friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

A fantastic little Italian place to eat in or take away! Staff friendly and meals are freshly made and served hot. Nice atmosphere & will definitely return.

If you like your Pizzas thin this is the place for you. A variety of sizes and toppings make this one of the best pizza parlours around. Great to eat in or takeaway and the deliver Recommended

Hemos visitado Davardi Walkden's en varias veces, y siempre disfrutamos de una fantástica comida en el restaurante acogedor que le permite llevar sus propias bebidas. . .

Lo que pasó con davardis? ? Una vez una auténtica experiencia italiana. Ahora un insulto a la cultura italiana que una vez fue. El quiche pizza/era cubierto con queso Cheddar añejado? ? Lo que sucedió. Y sobre el tema de las albóndigas. Por favor alguien podría dejar un sabor texto porque evidentemente no recibe un invito a este desagradable y caro tomate partido sauceless. Podría alguien por favor explicar como 2 porciones de la patata sin sabor amargo que igual cuñas hasta toda una spud se pueden cargar en el desorbitado precio de 7 libras y 50 pence? ? ? Me siento robado de mi una vez por semana tratan. Así que, en general, no creo que la próxima vez estoy sensación en el humor para un menú mediterráneo que se llama estos italianos de imitación.

We had a nice cheap meal here. Service wasn't great - e.g. no Parmesan cheese left which isn't what you would expect in an Italian restaurant and the waitress was overworked. Nonetheless for the price it was good and the atmosphere was friendly and cheerful.

Este lugar solía ser un lugar de cinco estrellas pizza, fue genial completo parada, así sabroso, y una buena relación calidad-precio.

Solía vivir en poco más de 10 años acerca de Hulton y hace una pizza de davardi era siempre impecables.

On approach you think you are entering just a take away but walk towards the back and there is a quaint little restaurant area it's clean and basic but thoroughly enjoyable you take your own beer/wine the menu is quite extensive and the staff very attentive but not in your face, the prices are seriously reasonable and the food is served quickly and piping hot, will definately be returning.

My wife and I have been coming here for over 25 years and always enjoyed quality food and service, but I've got say the last couple of visits since the owners have opened a new pizza bar in Monton we've noticed a drop in standards in both food and service, our pizza topping tonight was very sparse and burnt. I hope the owners haven't lost interest in walkden, this pizza house has built a great reputation over the years, we will still go again and trust standards have improved.

We visited with friends and found the whole experience great...the pizzeria appears family run and you can either sit in to eat or order take away...We sat in in the small seated area at the back and ordered our food... this area is relatively small (with tables almost on top of each other) but i must say this adds to the atmosphere and all in the room were quite chatty & jolly... the added bonus of this place is you can brink your own drinks in eg beers, wine, etc at no extra cost, so are just paying for the food...The food is great - freshly made to order... mainly pizzas (obviously) of which there must be a choice of about 15... but also various pasta choices like spagetti bolognese, lasagne, canneloni, pasta bake, etc... plus side orders such as salads, potatoes, & garlic breads... there are also a few desserts like tiramisu to enjoy if you have room after your mains...All meals we ate this time (and those we've had before) were very tasty and reasonably priced... plus the service was excellent... It's a pity the room to eat in is not a little bigger as i'm sure the demand for the quality food on offer would see it filled no matter how big it was...Overrall, this place is a hidde gem and well worth a visit to try the ace food and great service, with the added benefit of being allowed to bring your own booze...

Went to Davardi's Walkden for a celebrity meal and really enjoyed it. The small but friendly seating area was bus but the service was good and there were plenty of people also having a good time making the atmosphere good. The food was well cooked and just the right amount to leave us all full without over facing us. Well done to the staff.

Ate here last Sunday evening. We needed to eat as we had just got back from France and had nothing in the fridge!We took our own wine. No corkage charge. We were lucky to get a table straight away. It's a very busy pizza restaurant as well as having a take away and a delivery service. We had pizzas. My husband really enjoyed his, personally I would down rate mine slightly as I struggled to cut it. Tasted fab though, but just a tad over cooked...

Went on a Sunday evening, eventually a surly ,disinterested waitress took our order.And then we waited and waited ,not recieving the starters we ordered, eventually the food arrived, 50 mins after we ordered it, only 2 other tables were taken so why the long wait? When the food arrived it was hard and burnt, when we informed the waitress we got an abrupt, sorry, no explanation for the long wait , late starters and burnt food. We have been loyal customers for 40 years and remember when it was a pleasure to eat there, sad to say not anymore.

I worked here for 10 years from 94-04, I've always been a great defender when people say it's gone down hill, but it has, it's lost the magic.It changed hands a few years ago, and the quality was maintained for a while, but now the staff aren't interested, often rude, and the pizzas are a dry, burnt shadow of their former selves.It could be down to the fact a new Davardi's has been opened in Monton, and that is the focus?Either way they've let it slip, and it's a shame.

Sad to see the demise of a once great institution. Many happy memories but sadly current offering nothing like what its'reputation is based on.

Just had one of the worst meals I've never eaten at this place. I can't believe that anyone would think this is a good place to eat at - where the hell have they been???I had garlic mushrooms that looked like they'd shrunken in the fridge before being cooked and my husband had mum's been to Iceland looking prawns. Followed by two pizzas which looked exactly the same, burnt toppings with a barely cooked base. We could only distinguish between the two by the supposed 'meatballs' on one of them, which resembled (and tasted like) what I imagine Pedigree chum would to a dog! The place is dingy, dark and in dire need of a good clean. In the midst of not eating, a lady walked through the 'restaurant ' wearing yellow rubber gloves and carrying two buckets past the 'diners' maybe these were sick buckets from previous customers!!! The girl who served us was pleasant enough but that's the only positive thing I can think of to say about Davardi's. Maybe it's the 'bring your own booze' thing that attracts people here, because it certainly cannot be the sub-standard fare that they serve. In fact, if you want a similar experience, pop down to Iceland, buy some two for one pizzas, go home, turn all the lights off, turn your oven on full, burn the pizzas to a crisp and tuck in - and save yourself £35 in the process!!!

I love this place. Can pop in for a fairly inexpensive night out with the family, taking your own beer really helps. Better yet, it's so tasty x

I have been using Davardis since 1976 and never had a bad one,, sit in and drink your own wine (very Reasonable) take away or delivery its consistant every time, Large Irish and extra salami yum yum!!

Such a lovely, little place to spend time. Great value for money. The food is delicious. The food is fresh. The staff are awesome. You can bring your own alcohol and they don't charge any corkage. It's a family run pizzeria and they always make customers feel welcome. I really can't praise this place enough, they have everything right. I wish more restaurants would follow their lead and realise that if their customers are happy, then they will keep coming back and will recommend it to others. They also deliver and their deliver guy 'Steve' is brilliant, very friendly and happy. We are going again tonight.

A superb little Italian restaurant that is cheap and cheerful. Nothing posh about the decor, staff or utensils. What you see is what you get, but what you get is very tasty and hot. It is a BYO (bring your own) as it is not licensed. Defo give it a try
