Forza Pizza Bar in Wirral

First visit tonight. I’ve heard great things for a while but never tried until tonight. Literally the best taste explosion I’ve had for a long time. The staff were amazing and the chefs were friendly and accommodating. We had the bruschetta trio to start which had a bit of everything for our party. Two of us had wild boar pizza which was handcrafted and baked by a young man who looked like he was living his best life the concentration on his face was impressive. I can’t wait to come back and work my way through the menu! Hidden gem in the heart of west Kirby.

Fantastic restaurant. Casual, homey feel. Friendly attentive staff. Delicious food with surprisingly quick service, and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back here, and soon! Recommend the lemon sorbet, and the diovolo!

Not a massive fan of Italian food but absolutely love Forza. Gorgeous food, lots of great, tasty original 'specials' and meals from the menu. Very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and first class service. Would highly recommend 👌

Best Italian pizzas you can get on the Wirral, very close to authentic Italian ones with authentic toppings and ingredients from Italy. Wish they were slightly bigger like in Italy.. Prices should perhaps reflect the same as pizzas in Italy, 5 euros for 1 margherita pizza...One area of improvement, staff could be more attentive and friendly. Overall a positive experience there and would go back again.

Fantastic place, very friendly, great food!

We have been ordering pizza from Forza for collection for quite some time. We love their pizza with fresh and good quality ingredients. The gluten free pizza is exceptional. Different to other places where you get a schär base this one is freshly made from sourdough. We sometimes wish there was a bit more sauce or toppings, but you can order them at an extra cost. The staff has always been very kind and accommodating. Thank you!

Had feta and spinach ravioli in this pleasant Italian restaurant. Superb... vibrant, fresh flavours beautifully presented. Good service and pleasant, helpful team. Will return when in West Kirkby. Excellent

Excellent, really tasty, Pizza, as usual. Nice ambience and really friendly, helpful staff. Best Pizza in the area. Busy for a Tuesday night!

We ate at Forza on Friday evening, ( 3 mid-age ladies) and had a delightful experience! The pizza’s were outstanding, the service excellent, the staff very friendly and attentive, the ambience just spot on! Will be back again very soon! Well done guys, you’ve got it just perfect!

Fabulous food and service. Good value. Relaxed atmosphere. Only complaint- when asked if we wanted tea or coffee, it transpired that there was no decaf and no milk! Rather strange. It rather put an abrupt end to our evening.

Came here for my birthday meal, the second time we have dined here. Pizza was wonderful, staff were very friendly and helpful and Chef was absolutely great. Best Italian in the Wirral!

lovely pizza and lovely staff member mia served us would give 6 stars!

Loved this place absolutely banging pizza couldn’t recommend anymore. Boss playlist aswell (cool bit of reggae).

Excellent pizzas every time, would highly recommend

Pizza was lovely.like the open kitchen idea and Music selection Brilliant.recommend a visit

As a vegan, I love Forza. There aren't many places that do a decent vegan pizza (it's usually just veggies which can get a bit boring), however Forza have vegan "cheese" which means they can pretty much make any pizza they have be plant-based, so it means I've got loads of choice! (Although I always go for the friarelli with vegan cheese, it's incredible) - thank you guys for stocking it. They're always really accommodating, and it's a lovely casual/relaxed atmosphere there.

Went there on a recent trip to the UK. Cold, wet, sloppy pizza. Poor. Service was the same. Empty quiet and awkward setting. Avoid.

Authentic pizza for a reasonable price. These do takeaway and delivery as well. Eating in is a pleasure and the service is very attentive and well organised, always with a smile. Credit to the staff. Easily the best pizza in Wirral. No competition.

Wow, what a hidden gem. Great food, ambience and value for money. Best carbonara we have had outside of Italy.

Wow, what a fabulous restaurant which needs to be more talked about, as sadly under the radar. Great ambience, good value for money but most importantly excellent food. The best carbonara outside of Italy 🇮🇹 I urge people to go and get this hidden gem on the map.

This is a new(ish)ly found favourite of ours in West Kirby. The starters and pizzas are absolutely superb. I eat a lot of pizza (probably not a good omission but then you don’t get a body like mine by just looking at food) and you’d be hard pushed to find better pizzas along the more authentic scale and certainly not locally. We’ve never had a pasta dish here but what we’ve seen coming from the open kitchen looks good and certainly is prepared with care as it comes through. Good selection of beers and wines and reasonably priced cocktails- strangely to us the Long Island ice teas we had tasted as if they had added some sambuca but they got us where we needed to go so no complaints. Staff all very friendly and service is good. Selfishly I’d tell you not to book as I’d like to ensure there’s always a table available for us, but ignore me as this restaurant certainly deserves your custom. Also certainly do not order the white chocolate profiteroles- they’re mine!!

We’ve been coming to West Kirby for a few years now for short breaks and have only recently found this absolute gem. Authentic pizza made with top quality ingredients. Absolutely delicious. Been twice and will be back.

Amazing little gem! We wanted to celebrate the end of a course/pass for my partner and found this little gem on Google maps! The food and the service were 5*! With me being Italian, I can say that I'm usually very fussy but the food and the atmosphere were delightful here! Finally a chilled place where you can have quality food and have a conversation without the need of screaming at each other because of the loud music. We'll definitely come back again to try more dishes🥰🐎thanks again!

Visited on a Saturday night as part of a large group. Service was good, wine was nice and food was amazing. We shared cheese garlic bread and I then had the beef ravioli, I could eat it again! Pizzas made fresh from an open kitchen, slight wait for a large table when prepping all fresh- that’s to be expected Definitely recommend and I will go back

The food was excellent from start to finish. Beautiful desserts. The service was excellent nothing was to much trouble. We had such a lovely evening 😀

Drove here, parked, walked to restaurant in the rain. Closed. 1730 On mother’s day. Maybe update your opening hours?

Fantastic food and service. We will be back very soon.

Gorgeous hand stretched pizzas, nice atmosphere, loved it ☺️

Forza catered my husband's 50th birthday party for me on Saturday night. They delivered 20 pizzas between 10 and 10.30 - all piping hot, all gorgeous. Real mixture (left it to them)with Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten free guests all catered for. Absolutely delighted and all guests commented on how amazing the food was.

Had a lovely meal last night with my son. Have to say this was the nicest Pizza I've had for a long time...would recommend the anchovy special. Staff were all really friendly. Would recommend and will be back.

We eat here regularly and it is always a lovely experience. The pizzas are prepared and cooked right in front of you and the vibe is just right - a little bit quirky (skulls and a glitter ball) but still has the intimate italian restaurant feel. In warm weather in summer they have the big front windows wide open so you feel like you are dining al fresco. The pizzas are a good size and filling so we often share a pizza and an artichoke salad between 2 of us and that is plenty for a mid week dinner. The staff are always welcoming and attentive. In shirt just a lovely place to eat. Viva Forza

Fantastic! We ordered 4 pizzas of a different variety and a garlic bread to share. All pizzas absolutely delicious and arrived hot, my favourite was the steak with blue cheese… AMAZING! My little girl can be a fussy eater, however, enjoyed every bite. Well done to the chef/s we will definitely be paying the restaurant a visit in person! Thank you!!

We had dinner last evening and had a wonderful time. The service was warm and friendly. The food came quickly and was delicious. We stuck around for dessert, which we rarely do when dining, because we had such a great time. Great atmosphere. Fantastic value for money. Will definitely be returning and bringing some people with us. I walked in a few days before to make the reservation and the gent who took the reservation was really friendly too.

Great pizza, best on Wirral by far. Not a five star review as the caprasse salad was disappointing with cherry tomatoe halves, and the pesto pasta tasted more like blended basil, no pine nuts, garlic or parmesan.

If you read some reviews haters gonna hate! We don’t usually do pizza, but having just come back from Italy we had a pizza craving, so after checking out the options Forza seemed like a good option. Their pizza dough is made with 00 flour and the tomatoes are San Marzano. Our server was lovely, taking our orders promptly and delivering our food and drinks with minimal waiting. They have a great selection if Italian wines, we tried a few which were the perfect accompaniment for our pizzas. When the pizzas arrived the crust was crisp but soft and the base was perfectly cooked - no doughy soggy bottoms which can often be the case when you go for pizza. The pizza sauce was incredible- a testament to the use of the San Marzano tomatoes. What’s more the pizzas are cooked in front of you. We absolutely loved our evening in Forza the staff, food and ambiance were superb- we can’t wait to go back - Thankyou Forza.

Superb authentic Italian food. Highly recommended.

The food in here is just so delicious. We have been a number of times. You can't fault anything. I do recommend to book, as it's so popular.

Super! Jedzenie świeże i pyszne

This is the best pizza on the Wirral. Traditional stone bake packed full of flavour. They have some great options for toppings and dips for the crust. Takeaway can be arranged and it’s worth it as nothing comes close. Staff are always really friendly on the phone and at the restaurant.

Tasty pizzas. And lovely atmosphere

A few years ago when I first visited, the Pizza, service and atmosphere were brilliant, unfortunately that's no longer the case. On our last few visits the pizza was average, and most recently, abysmal. Based on some of the more recent reviews, and from my own experience, the owners do not take criticism well at all, and are very reluctant to admit fault. It's that mindset which is likely the reason of their decline. To anyone considering eating here, save your money. There are significantly better pizza restaurants in Liverpool and Chester.

0 star. Food was terrible service very Very poor and over priced. Like thay can't be bothered serving you

We enjoyed a perfect meal at Forza. The meal was a joy, the pizza base as near to Neapolitan as you can get, salad toppings succulent and sumptuous and salami, anchovies and prosciutti excellent. Jonathan, the pizzaiolo is clearly gifted and the rest of the waiting -on staff, patient and good humoured. It's a cool oasis away from the summer sun-drenched Wesy Kirby, with a front window wide open and welcoming to all passers-by. Thanks to everyone for a date-night meal from la dolce vita...

Dirt pizza BAD service and overpriced for the poor quality also from passed replys by the owner to reviews seems to have problems with disabled people who cannot spell BOCOTT THIS PLACE Disability discrimination is a crime

0 stars if i could... Tryed to get a pickup order at 8pm today was told there was no dough what type of pizza shop has no dough very poor service AVIOD!!!!

Really good pizza 🍕 made in an authentic itallian pizza oven. You can tell they use high quality ingredients too. Hope to come back for a return visit soon

The small antipasti was excellent value and the steak and blue cheese pizza was delicious. Will definitely be visiting again

Great food and owner was a lovely man, will definitely be back soon.

This restaurant deserves all 5 stars as ticked all the boxes. First visit for us which was actually quite busy for a Wednesday night. Great atmosphere. Food was amazing, loved the bruschetta starters and ravioli was the best. Will definitely return. Highly recommended

Great pizzas, drinks, service and tunes!

The service was good staff friendly. The pizzas were Fantastic but I couldn’t give them top marks. When we received our plates the only thing they had to offer was garlic mayo. I’ve never been to a pizza restaurant that doesn’t have hot sauce or some type of accompaniment for your meal. But just to reiterate pizza amazing.

The food when it arrived was fantastic. However the service was awfully slow. We had to chase for our starter and our mains. We did get a free glass of wine each after asking for one. At the end of the meal, we spoke to the owner about it and he gave the excuse that there was only one chef but he gave no apology. I would have gone back but won't be as the owner was rude and unapologetic for the poor service and generally didn't seem to know how to run a restaurant - you should ask customers how their meal is at least and try to make them happy. Such a shame as the restaurant and staff are great and the food is top notch, just be prepared to wait for an hour and receive no apology. And no, the free glass of wine doesn't excuse no apology - we'd already had two bottles of wine between four and didn't really need another drink but wanted one to pass the time between courses.

A beautiful little place, welcoming atmosphere and ambience. Lovely to be able to see the food been cooked, and able to chat to the chef. Food was excellent. Would certainly recommend.

Great place. Pizza is superb and it's great how you can see the chef's prepare them. Good kids menu options and very accommodating to dietary requirements. Really nice place.

The standard of the food is by far and away better than any of the other Italian restaurants in West Kirby. I also felt that I was getting good value for money. The setting of the restaurant is not that of your typical Italian restaurant. Forza is a bit more informal - but I'd still strongly recommend this place.

The best little Italian! The food and cocktails are delicious. Staff are really friendly and knowledgeable/helpful with dietary requirements. They also had the most yummy gelato we've ever had.

Booked a table for a large amount of people including children and they were able to accommodate and we weren’t crammed in. The staff were extremely welcoming and genuinely seemed to care that we enjoyed our experience to the last detail, nothing was too much and the food was excellent. We’ll certainly visit again next time we’re in the area which won’t be long.

You cannot beat a Forza pizza. Even during lockdown a takeaway on the prom was fantastic but its good to be back in the restaurant. Excellent local produce and the best dips ever - truffle creme fraiche, homemade salsa & aioli. Highly recommend for any occasion with equally good menu for dietary requirements. Can’t beat anything nduja but the burrata was special. Really reasonable and great atmosphere even being the last ones standing!

Excellent proper woodfired pizza. Ordered take out pizzas, the staff were excellent and pizzas were amazing.

Waited an hour and a half for 3 pasta dishes and a pizza. Food was average at best with the carbonara looking and tasting like raw egg yolk! Service was shocking with a complete lack of awareness from any of the staff. No apology or attempt to rectify the issues brought up. It was as if we were in a comedy sketch! I will never step foot in this restaurant again and suggest other people do not! 1 Star is being generous.

Amazing pizzas, Great friendly staff, very helpful , and gluten pizza bases

This was my third visit to Forza. The first two visits were good but this time there was a different chef and the food was not good. The pizza was undercooked and sloppy with hardly any cheese. We won't be visiting again which is a shame as the atmosphere is nice. The Manager was apologetic and didn't charge us for the pizza.

Visited Forza this evening with my husband. It was pretty busy, and a really nice atmosphere! We shared a starter which was divine. We both chose a pizza. I went for a gluten free base and was very impressed by it Our meal was lovely The staff... very friendly and welcoming, and they all worked extremely hard, especially the pizza oven hero Highly recommend, we will definately return

Great pasta & pizza. Super staff, very relaxed and easy going with young families.

We have eaten at Forza a few times; the pizza is excellent. Very good service too and yesterday it was no exception. The chef is visibly working very hard to deliver very nice,freshly prepared and well presented food ( I also had pasta once and it was very nice) . Only slight area for improvement is we did have to wait a little too long for our starters ( which were lovely by the way) but the place was quite busy to be fair.

Very nice pizza in a cosy restaurant.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Good to see the pizza chef not hidden away

Superb pizza, one of the best I’ve ever had in the UK. They accommodated our individual requests—just a half pizza for half price for one of us, and substituted ingredients for the other. Pizza dough/bread delicious, and the new salmon pizza was fabulous. Belly pork and crackling was wonderful too, I’m assured. All topped off by excellent service from lovely people. THANK YOU!

We visited the restaurant today to celebrate my daughter's 14th birthday. We arrived at 6pm and ordered our food at 6.20pm. Starters arrived and were pretty good. Our main course arrived at 7.20pm. They obviously misplaced our order and chose to fulfill a take away order over ours. The young waitress spotted the mistake and told the chef and then told us that it wouldn't be much longer (of course it was much longer). No apology until we were paying the bill (we noticed a surcharge of £2 for a gluten free pizza base that we weren't told about before we ordered). Atmosphere was good and great for families but I always believe that restaurants in West Kirby need all the help they can get and Forza failed to recover in style on this occasion. Would not recommend

Our recent first visit to Forza was nothing short of excellent. The food was so good. Myself and the missus had goats cheese salads together with three types of bruschetta with a bowl of olives as starters which was brilliant. For mains on came the pizzas and goodness me were they good. I had a more spicy pizza ( think it was called Diavola)) with chilli flakes which was so full of flavour. My wife something less spicy but absolutely so tasty. Although this was our first visit it certainly won’t be the last. The vibe and atmosphere in the restaurant was really relaxed which complimented an altogether great experience. I really didn’t think I could eat another thing but when I saw homemade Tiramisu I couldn’t resist. However, it must have been so popular they had run out. However, definitely next time. Thanks Forza.

Fabulous food, and fabulous service, will definitely be going back and definitely will recommending to everyone

What a lovely spot! We drove past it when we were looking for dinner and had to stop and check it out. The website didn't work and the phone wasn't picking up (and there were no menus on Google at the time!) But we really liked the idea of some authentic pizza as we're sick of the kebab shop styles. With that in mind, I ordered two of those and a couple of drinks. It did take a while but the staff were super friendly and the vibe was *lovely*! While I waited they offered me an orange juice on the house and they let me have a seat at the lounge. I'm not a local but I'd LOVE to come back when I'm next in the area, which might well be soon! The pizzas themselves were gorgeous, we had them on a beach nearby and they tasted outstanding. My only confusion was that they were never sliced, which would be a no-brainer for a takeaway order, but that's the only gripe. Honestly a fantastic bunch of people, a great meal and in a beautiful location. I tried to take some photos of the menu and of the inside to help other visitors too and I told the staff about the website not working as well. Highly recommend you pop in now that you have a better idea of what it looks like.

Have ordered from forza a handful of times now, the Pizzas are always fresh, never disappointed would highly recommend

I normally suffer after a pizza with my stomach. Had no issues here at all. They cater for people with a wide range of allergies and intolerances as well which was good. Food was lovely, service great. Make sure you book a taxi in advance as getting one after 11 is difficult

Best pizza I have had in for a very long time

Great food, excellent staff, fantastic music. What more could you ask for?

Excellent really friendly service. They have gluten free options on the menu and really knowledgeable about food allergies would definitely recommend.

Lovely pizza but disappointing service. 40 minute wait for two pizzas in a far less than busy restaurant. No apology offered!

The menu is a little limited but the food is good quality and it is served quickly. Prices are reasonable for the area.

Lovely staff, wonderful pizzas, great music. A really enjoyable evening

Great Pizzas Have eaten in before but this time was 3 pizzas to go Ready on time Nice dough, not too much cheese and tasting toppings

Genuinely fantastic pizza, dough is perfect texture and flavour! We have tried many many many authentic pizza places across the north west and this is top of a very competitive list! The freshness of the tomato sauce is what puts it at the top for us. Service is also great, super friendly and helpful!Our favourite monthly treat meal

I have been ordering delivery from Forza for a couple of years now ( they were incredible during lockdown ) and we have never had anything other than exceptional food each time. I feel like for a long time this place was going unappreciated, but people are starting to realize and now they are as busy as they deserve to be. Specifically, the pizza SLAPS DIFFERENT. the tomato sauce you can tell is san marzano or some equally premium tomatoes, and unless im wrong there is nothing added. just super fresh tomato sauce. crisp, smoky pizzas that don't play games with you, they are everything you need to get right. If I had one tiny (not critiscism, maybe suggestion?) Some sort of deal when ordering multiple pizzas. Don't get me wrong it is absolutely worth the price, but pizzas and deals go together like garlic and butter! Order up one of these jawns and allow your mouth a PROPER BEATING.

Excellent pizza with high quality ingredients. We keep meaning to try a pasta dish, but the pizza is so good we can’t help but order it again! Have eaten in the restaurant and had quite a few deliveries particularly during lockdown. Delivery is excellent- food still hot and arrives exactly at specified time. Highly recommend

Ok food and nice staff but no coffee….plus over priced……won’t be going back

An extremely overlooked place in West Kirby. Ordered for collection and the pizza was amazing. The menu has something for everyone. Will certainly be ordering again

Absolutely amazing place, the pizza was incredible - I would probably eat every day if I could. The staff were lovely and the restaurant was really cute

Great little place that is overlooked in west Kirby! Proper pizza at a sensible price! Home made tiramisu is worth the visit alone!!!

I dropped in when I was passing by to see if I could order a pizza and pick it up later, they immediately said they could do better than that, they could deliver it to my house! The pizza was delicious with the extra toppings I requested included. I would strongly recommend Forza.

Fresh, hot and tasty pizza . Best fennel suasge pizza I've ever had, do not go anywhere else

Fantastic pizza. Had the burrato and it was the best pizza I’ve had in britain. Great service and a lovely restaurant.

Amazing as always, the best dough creates the best base and with this menu everything tastes beautiful. A special treat when you fancy Pizza.

The best pizza I have ever had! The staff are friendly and attentive. Looking forward to my next visit.

Very good pizzas and friendly helpful staff. Cool atmosphere. We’ll be regulars for sure.

Very nice italian restaurant! Staff are very friendly, great service, delecious food. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and so relaxing.

Very attentive staff and the food is lovely

This restaurant is fantastic. It has a huge Jamie Oliver oven for the lovely food they supply. Really friendly Staff and excellent quality food.

I have had a spaghetti carbonara twice here with a glass of wine. The food was excellent and came very quickly. It was so delicious and tasty cooked to perfection. I can highly recommend this restaurant but it is not cheap. You get what you pay for. The Staff were very friendly and helpful.
