Elan Pizzeria in Northumberland

The most attentive & happy staff, pizzas were delicious and a great price also! Finished with two tasty coffees.

Were gutted, up here for a week and the elan is closed temporarily, hope it re opens as every year we come up from Warwickshire and every time we visit this fantastic little restaurant. ❤️

We were a bit apprehensive about going as we thought it had changed hands, but it hasn't. Everything is exactly the same as it always was. We order the Focaccia sharer to start, which is the best Focaccia in any Italian we have ever visited. Followed by a chicken tikka and medley pizzas which were both gorgeous. We were too full for a dessert. The meal was excellent value and the most reasonable resturant in Seahouses.

The most attentive and happy staff, great atmosphere, pizzas were delicious and a good price also! We finished with two tasty coffees.

Great little pizza place. Young lady serving by herself did a great job, slow service but she was doing her best.

We decided to have takeaway pizzas from here as we were a party of seven and had left it too late to book a table. The pizzas were very tasty on a thin bases. The ordering and collecting service was excellent.

Had a very nice evening here. The welcome was very warm despite the lady serving being on her own and clearly rushed (although ably assisted by, we assumed, her son). We are vegetarian and vegan and the vegetarians loved it. Better than the chains out there. Food was fresh and well seasoned. We had two pizzas and the cannelloni. Desserts were the cheesecake, orange cake and waffle. There were also amazing milk shakes consumed! The vegan of the party had less choice and had to take the jacket potato with baked beans. Nice enough, but not really an evening meal and difficult when everyone else devoured their food and you have food envy! If they could find a way to sustainably provide plant based cheese, even at a higher charge, then it would have been amazing. It also meant no vegan desserts which was also a shame. One small issue with the food (the jacket came out with cheese) but was rectified quickly without fuss. This was appreciated and no marks removed. Busy atmosphere and great to see a business doing its best to thrive. Worth a visit. Would return again.

Wow what a find. Our first visit and we were blown away with the quality of the food. Although busy, as it was half term we were welcomed and served our food fairly quickly. Pasta and pizza were delicious not a crumb left, also we had the cheese garlic bread which was also very good. Would most definitely recommend this pizzeria if you are staying in Seahouses and we are definitely going back. Service was also very good and very welcoming.

Great place, fitted us (a family of four in) even when they were busy , very friendly and food was great .. I had the inferno pizza .. lovely.. salad leaf with goats cheese wasn't great but still five stars .. thanks again for having us in.

This place is an absolute hidden gem, we went on a Saturday night for my birthday and it was quiet but it deserved to be so busy! There was one lady serving and she was absolutely lovely, very attentive and perfect service :) I had the cannelloni which was so tasty and a big portion for the price, my partner had the pizza which was so fresh! would definitely recommend this place for some lovely food for a low price :)

What an absolute little gem of a place! This small, family-run pizza restaurant is fantastic! Exceptional, friendly and warm customer service and freshly made pizzas that would be very hard to beat indeed. In fact, they don’t just accommodate gluten-free diners. I had the best gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had anywhere. Lovely house wines and super-fresh salads too. Book in advance and don’t even consider going anywhere else if you want a great pizza. Thanks for a really lovely evening.

Welcomed with a smile and prompt professional service. Pizza's were very tasty with the waitress noting individual requests. Chef ammended individual additions/omissions from pizza requests as stated. Despite being busy waitress was attentive and on the ball. Good value for money. Only negative was lack of anchovies/black olives but I understand many people don't want them.Would recommend.

Visited Elan many times and food and service is always excellent

My Wife & I stumbled upon this place whilst wandering around Seahouses. We both wanted a light lunch instead of the usual fare on offer ie Fish & Chips. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very pleasant lady who showed us to a table in the rear area of the restaurant. There were already a few diners in & the place had a nice friendly atmosphere. My Wife ordered a Jacket Potato with Beans & Cheese & I ordered a Ham & Mushroom Pizza. We didn't have to wait too long, the food was cooked perfectly, the pizza was everything I hoped it would be. My Wife's food was just right, good portion size & very tasty. Upon finishing our meal we had a conversation with the lady owner who was utterly charming. Elan is a great little place which we would definitely recommend & would definitely go back to should we ever be in the area again.

Family run pizza restaurant just up the main road so we were able too eat with out booking friendly staff and tasty food would return

Popped into Elan tonight for a takeaway and was not disappointed. They were about to close the kitchen after a long bank holiday weekend service but kept it open for our order. The pizza’s we ordered were 10/10 and I’ll definitely be returning. Staff were lovely and very welcoming!

First time at Élan today, for take away, and will definitely be going back - next time to dine in. Great service, delicious food, very fresh and plenty of options. Would highly recommend!

Amazingly nice staff even with not many they were willing to open the kitchen for a few more minutes just for us the food was also amazing the lady at the front desk was very nice I recommend you get a pizza or jacket potato. VERY GOOD 👍

Hadn't been here in quite a while and think it has changed hands. Food was good and the staff were super friendly. Wine was OK, but missing the BYOB, and the gin and tonic really needed ice and a slice.

Ate here twice during our week away. We have been coming to this restaurant for years and it's never given us a bad meal. Really friendly and delicious pizza. Sad that they have stopped doing 'bring your own' with the wine but the proprietor explained that a few thoughtless people had taken advantage of them (it was only £1 per bottle corkage), so it's not longer an option.

We’ve been to Elan a few times in the past, and it never disappoints. The lady front of house was very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. The pizzas were the best we’ve had in ages - my husband loved the Caprino, with goats cheese and pesto. Great value for money, and lovely to support a small family business.

Been to Elan many times and never fails to delight! They embrace my love of pineapple atop my pizza and the lady owner was whizzing around on her own managing the floor like a machine. Fabulous service, hospitality and the food is always delicious.

Busy little restaurant which serves one of the best pizzas I've ever tasted. Thin crusty base with just the right amount of toppings. Milkshakes are good too

The food is absolutely atrocious used to be a great place no starters pizza was awful like cheap frozen supermarket one can see why place was empty do not go here online menu is out of date. 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Elan pizza was very good choice of menu. Good value wines were very reasonably priced. Children’s menu and milk shakes great value. Very friendly. Worth a visit good value

The food was really good, pasta well cooked, with excellent homemade sauce, the restaurant was quiet (cold Tuesday night), atmosphere was fine, the music a bit random. My only gripe was the small glass of soda and lime @ £3.00, seems somewhat pricey!!

Great food good prices and lovely staff

We dined out at Elan on a Tuesday evening, which was fairly quiet, but it was only Tuesday. The various foods looked great as it was being served at the tables. We ordered a pizza & a lasagne both of which looked great & tasted WoW! The service was good and the restaurant is casual, which I like & very nicely appointed. A real winner & somewhere I would highly recommend 👍

I ordered takeaway, I turned up, front of house spoke to the Chef and he said 5 mins, sure enough it was 5 mins and the Pizzas were lovely. Highly reccommended

Delicious pizzas - recommended!

Excellent service. Friendly staff. Absolutely gorgeous food. Loved it .

Always visit when in the North East. The Manzo Piccante with Northumbrian beef steak mince is a favourite.

The best gluten free pizza I've ever eaten. The gf pizza base was on a par with the regular bases, the toppings were excellent and the overall price was very good too. Note that from 1st November 2023 the restaurant is no longer offering bring your own booze. That very much wouldn't deter me from visiting again.

My wife and I have just finished what I consider to be the most amazingly wonderful pizzas we have ever had. And they came from Elan. Hot, beautifully put together, and absolutely delicious. We have eaten in Elan, and often have their product as a take-away. But know this. For value for money and excellence in product, Elan is just right.

We had takeaway pizzas while on holiday. Absolutely beautiful! Some of the best pizza we have had. They were all piping hot, even with our 5 minute drive back to the holiday house. We rang to order and arranged a time to collect. Particularly recommend the Kiev pizza and the goats cheese pizza with pesto. Our only complaint is that the garlic bread was a bit dry; would try it with cheese next time

Had takeaway pizzas was a bit disappointed on the size for the price when they say thin they mean very thin did taste OK but not worth the price the cheese cake was nice but again small for price such a shame but would pass it by next time

Having not booked in advance we walked in and luckily they were able to accommodate us. My husband had a chicken tikka pizza and I had the duck pizza, service was super quick, both were excellent and the ice creams we had for dessert were delicious. Would definitely recommend the Elan and wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Had a fantastic takeaway from Élan tonight. Variety of starters, pizzas and pasta - all were excellent. Highly recommend.

Lovely food . Great atmosphere. Very reasonably priced. Nice and twinkly at night ❤️

All good. Friendly staff quick service and delicious crispy based pizza. Would definitely recommend. What else can I say. Best pizza in seahouses.

Possibly the fastest I’ve ever been seated, ordered, served and paid in any restaurant. No sooner we’re we seated we were asked to order and still eating the starter when the pizzas arrived - unbelievable. In and out in around 50 mins is not my idea of a relaxing dinner out. The Pizza was better than average, certainly better than the well known chains but it was spoilt by the ridiculous speed and churn.

Really amazing range of pizzas here cooked very well. Great restaurant. Bit deceiving, as it doesn't look much from the outside but one of the best places in Seahouses in my view.

As we were camping nearby, we popped in here one evening to pick up some pizzas. The pizzas were delicious with plenty of toppings. We didn’t eat in but the dining area looked very welcoming.

We got a takeaway from here The pizza was quite underwhelming and the lasagne didn't taste like it had been freshly cooked. .at these prices we did expect more Quite disappointing

Lovely spot, friendly staff, reasonable prices. However, the pizza just did not do it for me. The base was like a.flat bread with no air, it almost appeared to be pre-cooked and not at all fresh.

Simply excellent. I wasn't expecting much, but this was the best Italian meal I've had for years. Very friendly service. Great food: traditional Rome-style pizza with tasty lasagne. Highly recommend.

We ordered 4 pizzas and some dough balls to takeaway. The wait was 15 minutes which was reasonable and when we returned at the allotted time our order was just being boxed up. Our order was accurate and of excellent quality. The staff member we dealt with was very friendly. I would certainly I sit again.

Great food, staff really lovely too

Dark and dingy place, can’t see the menu never mind anyone else! Pizza came in 5 minutes, forgot the drinks and I had to search for the toppings we asked for. We felt rushed and didn’t rate thr taste the amount or oregano on my pizza was over the top! Would not return

Lovely authentic Italian food. Good for people with food allergies. Staff attentive. Will definitely return on our next visit to the area

Lovely restaurant with very welcoming and helpful staff.

Had take away pizzas. Excellent even after having been transported home. Lovely thin crusts, plenty of toppings. Would order again

Ordered 3 pizzas. Fajita pizza, very basic. Vegetarian pizza, superb and the meat feast, very poor. Put in a 12" box but all probably 10", so for over £40 total rip off. The meat feast was basically minced spicy sausage with a few bits of dried chicken thrown on. Must say we were really disappointed after reading the reviews, very basic pizzas 😠

Ordered a takeaway pizza whilst on holiday on 5th September 2023 and was really impressed with the pizzas and such helpful staff.

We had Two takeaway pizzas and a side salad and it was absolutely stunning! Service was prompt and friendly. Highly recommend to use if camping locally like we had 👌🏻

Lovely pizzas. Focaccia and garlic mushrooms also lovely. Only lost one star as one pizza was incorrect but as we had driven back to cottage and it was a party couldn’t do much about it. Just nice size pizzas. Friendly staff and quick prep to collect.

Fantastic place! Beautiful food, friendly staff and very cosy atmosphere, the gluten free pizza was the best I've ever had and all the rest of the food we had was amazing. Just wish I lived nearer so I could come every week.

Lovely handmade pizza with plenty of choice. We visited as we saw from previous reviews they do gluten free pizza, my son is coeliac and he was absolutely fine. His pizza was very nice with a good base, he rated it 9.5 out of 10...

Amazing as always, we go here every time we come to the caravan and it is our absolute favourite place. Amazing staff, great food, reasonably priced and BYOB makes it a great night out x

Ordered takeaway pizzas to eat in our holiday cottage. The lightest pizza bases I’ve ever tasted. Really fresh tasting toppings too. Restaurant looked full and lots of lively chatter going on when we collected our order.

Always good, the focaccia with balsamic is amazing! Pizzas tasty, great wine (Newzealand Sauv)! Staff are lovely and friendly! Will be back..

When staying in Seahouses on our family holiday we had a great experience from Elan firstly with a takeaway then later went for dining in. The pizzas were really good, as was the Cannelloni and Lasagne which all had glowing reviews from the family. Plus...

Had takeaway- superb. Friendly and helpful people 👌

We visited in mid August, a family of 4. I am vegetarian so was pleased to see some options on the menu even if there wasn’t that many. The restaurant mainly serves pizza, no chips or anything like that is available. The pizzas were ok,...

I can see why this is the best rated restaurant in Seahouses. It might not be the poshest of restaurants, but for a small seaside town, it's a perfectly lovely down to earth place that serves pizzas far better than you'd expect and with great friendly staff. We arrived in town and hadn't decided where to eat, turns out the choices were fish and chips, places with overly fancy foods that didn't appeal or Elan, a pizzeria with a great range of options so there would be something for anyone who liked pizza. So we asked if they could fit us in as we hadn't booked and we were in luck, if we finished before 19:30, which was plenty of time. Still, we skipped starters and went for the main course as we wanted dessert as well. I had a meat feast, and my wife had that one with the egg on it. Have to say the meat feast was spicier than expected but not too much, about at the right spot for a hot meal. My wife enjoyed her pizza so much that she didn't have space for dessert, so I thought I'd be good and skip it too. Plus, I couldn't decide between chocolate fudge cake and waffles, so that made it easier. Would definitely go there again.

Spotted while searching for restaurant. Lovely food, but not cheap. Service good. Would return if in the area.

Oh my goodness amazing pizzas! These must be the best pizzas I have ever had. They even make gluten free pizzas the same size as their regular ones! Also the staff here are so friendly. I cannot recommend Élan Pizzeria highly enough.

Had 3 takeaway pizzas tonight... absolutely superb

Lovely staff but found the restaurant too noisy (music very loud). Pizza's ok - not authentic to us. Garlic mushrooms - never experienced them like this before - not in a creamy sauce but more a runny/watery liquid?

Lovely staff, great pizzas. Really enjoyed our meal. Like the BYO for drinks, if you wish. The friendly, helpful staff made this visit for us. Thank you!

WOW - an amazing experience, such friendly and efficient staff in a very cosy and relaxed atmosphere, incredible pizzas and very reasonably priced !!! We will be back.

This is a fantastic place. We had 2 takeaways & ate inside on 1 night. We took our own cider which we thought was a great idea that you can take your own. Service was great, good music and atmosphere. The pizza was the best...

We ordered takeaway pizzas for tea - 5 pizzas, 30 minutes wait, piping hot when we collected them from friendly, attentive staff and absolutely delicious. Would thoroughly recommend 👌

Always use this place when we come to Bamburgh to stay. Volcano,4 Cheese and Mariana pizzas £37.50 Excellent value Ordered 20 mins in advance and then collected Perfect

Lovely restaurant with great food, great service and staff. Fitted us in despite being very busy both with diners and takeaways. We had pizzas and lasagnefollowed by super puds. Corkage £3. BYOB. Great!! Highly recommend but booking essential.

Ordered a takeaway really nice pizza. The staff were excellent.

We had to get a takeaway as the restaurant was fully booked — amazing pizza, very generous with the toppings! I had a gluten free base and it was delicious!

Great restaurant in Seahouses, we had garlic mushrooms, garlic bread, pasta and pizza. Everything was fantastic, the best garlic mushrooms ever! We brought our own wine for a corkage fee. Would return if in the area again!

Lovely pizza and pasta, great atmosphere, friendly staff and only £3 corkage per bottle. We had a great night.

We went on the off chance after reading the reviews only 1 table had customers we were told we could only stay an hour yet other customers 2 separate tables came in after us also without booking and no restrictions were put on them we felt very rushed tiramisu was nice but expensive. Lovely food let down by the service we felt very unwanted shame !

Passing through on the coastal route. Fancies Italian and struck lucky. Mainly thin pizzas on menu, but we had pasta, lasagne and canneloni. Excellent. Desserts great too. Highly recommended. Well done!!

Great byob pizza restaurant,serving some pasta dishes too..Always good food ,atmosphere and great staff and owners

We had booked a table approx. 6 months prior and informed them it was to celebrate our wedding. We were touched to arrive to a very thoughtful gesture of a wedding card and flowers. For a small corkage fee it is possible to bring your...

Nice pizza in a nice environment with really nice service. Can get crowded at prime dinner hours, so advance booking is advisable.

Great value, a lot of options for toppings. You can bring your own booze too. Kids loved theirs and the staff were super friendly too. Can recommend the classic fiorentina

Fantastic food and very friendly staff.

We stayed nearby and saw good reviews and gave it a try and were very happy with what was on offer. There's lots of choice of pizzas and (if sat in the right area) the kitchen is open to view so you can see your food being freshly prepared. Service was swift and very pleasant and the food was spot on so absolutely no complaints at all and would happily go back.

Everything about this restaurant was top notch. All the staff were really friendly and pleasant. We had garlic bread with mozzarella to share between us to start then a pizza each. Mine was a Pepperoni and my husband had a Volano. All the food was...

We cleared our plates! Delicious, simple and fresh. Waitresses were lovely too. Busy restaurant and I can see why. Really nice atmosphere.

We booked a table as we’d read good reviews and we were disappointed. It was a lovely little restaurant with lovely staff and the best pizza. We shared a vegetarian and a Stilton pizza with a rocker and Parmesan salad. Followed by waffle and ice...

2 take away pizzas and a starter 26 quid? Not really what we expected either. Small and not very filling. Will maybe try something else next time.

It wasn't the first time. We went with some friends and the pizzas are delicious. The staff is very friendly. If we return to the area we will definitely repeat!!!

You need to try Elan if you're in Seahouses or round about. The choice is absolutely amazing and the food delicious. So glad we tried it

Eat here! That's all I need to say. A small family run restaurant that has its core focus on food. Bring your own drink which makes its easy from the get go and the best pizza I've ever had! We stayed in Seahouses for a...

We were given a table even though we had no reservation. Several hostesses and waitresses checked on us periodically. The starter and the pizzas were delicious. Beer choice was limited, however you were allowed to BYOB. Could not fault it💕

We ordered the Vegetarian pizza tonight for a takeaway and it was a really delicious pizza, with a lovely thin base. However, we ordered it with extras and I forgot to ask the revised price when ordering by telephone. My partner returned from picking it...

Delicious local pizzas-great menu.

We ate here back in 2017 and returned when next staying near Seahouses in May 2023. Élan remains a very popular, busy pizzeria. Because of this, it can be noisy and the tables are close together but the service is excellent. The menu includes a...

If staying in or near Seahouses, do not miss this fabulous pizza palace. As if the pizzas were not enough ( they look good, taste good and are excellent value) you cannot fail to be impressed by the energy and hospitality of the staff on both sides of the counter. A table by the food prep area is an experience in itself. Top marks for quality, value and sheer energy . Dont missit.
