Knead Pizza in Plymouth

The pizza dough is soggy and soft, pizzas need cooking for longer. Fantastic service and lovely atmosphere but let down by the pizza. I've been to Italy several times and never had such a soggy and soft base, but as you said it's your take on it. Thanks for the tip about pizza express.

Good priced, great tasting pizza in an intriguing historical setting.

Amazing in all aspects. Can't fault and highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely food, drink and atmosphere - couldn’t recommend more! Very important to support your local and feel very fortunate to have such a lovely restaurant so close <3

Made an order online, took the money, I had to drive to collect and they were closed. Not the best experience. Can’t get through on the phone, will wait and see how they resolve.

Great wood fired pizzas in unique surroundings. The restaurant is in a 16th century merchants house that just oozes charm and history. Food really good and staff very friendly.

Excellent pizzas served up in a historical building just off the main drag in Plymouth’s centre. Pizzas were very enjoyable although I prefer a slightly crispier base. Plenty of toppings without being swamped, lovely flavours. But the crispy potatoes, oh my! THE best. We’ll be back.

Beautiful building, slow service, especially when there were only two tables, pizza not fully cooked, 12% service charge added directly to the bill, not pleasant compared to the inattentive service, especially when the 10 year old ordered coffee with the dessert, I think it should be warned, will not go there again.

Food was lovelly couldn't fault it. Service good as well, just the wonky table th only minus point. But would highly recommend

Delicious pizzas and lovely setting

Just go! You won’t regret it 🍕 🌟 10/10

Amazing staff and HUGE paper shaker, wanted to take it home!

Authentic, authentic, and utterly delicious. The medieval banquet hall(s) are tastefully decorated, the pizzaiolo's transparent 'box' and the fire blend right into the courtyard, and you feel right at home the moment you step in. Grazzie mille!

We were served by Gia, she was so lovely and really down to earth, she wasn’t over the top and just herself, I really wish everyone could be served by her💗

Having been here a few times I can confidently say it has never disappointed. On my last visit we had the joy of having Gia as our server and she made the night 10x better. Would highly recommend Knead to anyone!

We had a family birthday celebration, 9 of us in total. Firstly did not receive a email confirmation of booking so tried to call. I called 3 times with no answer, so had to leave a WhatsApp message to confirm booking. We brought some candles and a birthday cake and had asked if they could bring it out after our meal as a surprise. They turned and said sorry we don't do this due to food allergies, and walked off. Pizza's arrived and my pizza was very soggy and doughy in the middle, however the roast potatoes starter was amazing. We then asked for the bill and was told they don't except cash, card only, I was not made aware of this until I asked for the bill. This is disgraceful and customers should be made aware of this when placing an order. Service very poor, food poor but venue is amazing, but we will not return.

Really very good sourdough pizza, although it doesn’t warrant the automatic addition of a service charge. Check your bill, and only tip if it’s deserved. £85 quickly becomes an undred pand. 😳

Just perfect pizza, lovely staff and a really cool place to eat!

Waitress was really nice and accommodating. Majority of the food was really delicious but the meatballs unfortunately tasted off, had a chicken taste to them (did ask and found out they were fried in the same stuff as the chicken) Lights above the tables are a bit blinding but otherwise lovely atmosphere/place

Stunning food in a beautiful venue

Amazing food fairly priced within a gorgeous historical building. Highly recommended.

Its hard to quite encapsulate the dichotomy of eating in and taking away with Knead Pizza. I will try my best though. When you're there, eating in the gorgeous building, or in the open-air courtyard, with a beautifully illustrated wine menu, looking at your lover across some low light, life feels so good. The pizza comes out looking and tasting incredible. Not a single fault with it. The underpaid staff ask “how is everything for you” just as you've scoffed a whole olive with a stone you're trying to pick clean, and you're a glass of wine down and forget about said stone “mmph vuh ghhd fankh phew”. Life is good when you eat at Knead. Delivery, however… Its the same pizza, tastes just as good. No complaints there. If you get the correct pizza that's the hard bit done as its a 50/50 chance of a key ingredient missing, or its straight up a different pizza. I'm veggie as well, so this can cause quite a problem when my fake meat bits are actually real. And as for the dispersal of the ingredients on the pizza? Do you remember Club Penguin’s Pizza Parlour game, Pizzatron 3000? Well I am utterly convinced this is the layout of the kitchen now. A conveyor belt of delicious sourdough pizza bases are going past the chefs as they hurriedly, as fast as their minimum wage paid hands can take them, throw the delicious toppings onto the order. And by throw I mean throw. If Im lucky enough to get the right pizza, Im half as lucky again to have the toppings on more than just a single side. And I know its not the delivery guys fault either, I can clearly see the pizza was cooked like this too… Anyway. Eat in, is a 10/10. Take away? Its like betting all on red at roulette.

Our new favourite pizza place, we love it. The pizzas are delicious. Service is top notch. Takeaway pizzas too! Amazing

Best pizza in Plymouth with great staff and a lovely atmosphere!

The best pizza I've had by far, honestly an outstanding place 👌

Excellent pizza, service and great setting.

The location and interior is very cool, the pizza was great too! Friendly staff and reasonable prices (:

Calamari, Pizza, and Cinnamon dough bites were all delicious. Cool looking place. Servers were friendly as well.

We were in a real rush to eat before going to the theatre, and they accommodated us really well. They took our order straight away and then rushed it through the kitchen for us, and the pizzas were AMAZING! We'd booked the well room but then they'd opened the courtyard and moved us into there, and it was a really beautiful place to eat. In summary: we were awkward and demanding customers and they were absolutely brilliant about it!!

Lovely pizza, one of the best I have ever had.

Experience amazing free pizza😃🍕with my friends. Taste of the pizza was really amazing. Recommended to everyone !🎉

Lovely restaurant with great service. Issue was the food and charging policy. We chose two different gluten free Pizza’s which at Knead is a crushed potato base (which are £2.5 extra each). Sounds lovely however was a big miss in my opinion. They seamed like Aunt Bessie’s roasters slightly crushed into the base with pizza toppings on top. Taste not great and all very dry. To help make them edible we asked for some dip, and was charged extra for mayo and Tom sauce. For a nice Pizza restaurant I’d suggest or expect better. My advice would be to offer a cauliflower base or don’t advertise the potatoes as a pizza base option as it’s really not!

Beautiful restaurant, wonderful food!

This is are 3rd time here we always come here when we are on holiday here the service and the food is always very good and we would highly recommend it Paul and andrea

Amazing place. Best pizza I have had for a very long time. Great venue. Can highly recommend.

Ordered a takeaway pizza, but the bottom was burnt. It has a charred taste but not in a pleasant way.

Great food in an amazing location!

Unreal pizza with amazing service, made a mistake in what we ordered and the staff got it remade for us even though it was our fault and nothing was too much trouble

We had decided on trying somewhere new to us for a lunch and we were certainly not disappointed. This was really delicious pizza in a nice cosy setting with lovely service. I had been a bit taken by Franco Manca and their pizza in the last few weeks I will be honest. I think that Knead's pizza probably has a slight edge over theirs in terms of flavour. I had the Nduja Duja Like It and my mate had the Cardy P. We of course had a slice if each others and they were both amazing. We also both has sides, although these came out first and felt more like a starter. I had Calamari and he had the Chicken Milanese. Both were great. My calamari was crispy and perfectly cooked. Not rubbery or oily at all. His chicken he felt could have been leaning slightly to the dryer side but came with lovely rich sauce. The drinks I will say are on the pricey side. I guess being a smaller place, they can't afford to do the lunch deals the other place does and this is where they make their money. This is fair enough. One 'gripe' if I had to have one. The bill came and the nice young lady serving us said about the 'Automatic service charge that could be removed if we liked. I have made mention of this happening in another place and my discomfort at it. My friend and I had already discussed this as we had heard another customer mention it. We said we would like it removed please and we would pay her a tip in cash. This feels better and fairer all around to us. Especially as once the waitress had gone and my mate made mention of it, I looked at the bill and the 'automatic' service charge would have been 12.5 %!? Lets face it, there is nothing automatic about it. It has been decided by someone to apply this. As I said, a small gripe and this was a tiny moment that was dealt with very tactfully and well by our waitress. Just seems to be an odd thing that seems to be creeping in to British businesses. All in all, a great lunch. Worth spending the extra to support a local business, especially as it is quality food and service.

Best pizza I've had in a long time very cool really cool atmosphere 😎 👌 👍.

Came for what looked like a traditional pizza, and was not disappointed! Everything we tried tasted fantastic. Highly recommended.

A bit pricey but you get what you pay for . It's nice to get a vegan pizza

Great food, good value, unique vibe in medieval building

Fantastic pizza place, best pizza I've had in a long time. Great location in an old medieval building makes for an unforgettable experience.

Amazing atmosphere and food, staff friendly however the pizza barely fits the plates so it makes it awkward to cut it

Went there for lunch on Saturday. Although the Restaurant was packed and we didn't book, they managed to sit us down. The ladies working on the floor looked busy but they handled it very well. Great tasting pizza as always.

Lovely atmosphere in a beautiful building. Ordered 6 standard pizzas and asked about the "gluten free" option pizza, smashed crispy potatoes with normal pizza toppings. We were told, and I quote, " you take your chance"!! All the pizzas had a soggy middle, the potatoes were far from crispy and were gross and as for the gluten free " smashed crispy potatoe base" it was far from that. The potatoes were disgusting, looked like dull frozen supermarket spuds. It was revolting. We did complain and yes we did get a refund on the potatoes and the "gluten free pizza" HOWEVER... A WORD OF WARNING FOR ALL THE CELIACS OUT THERE DO NOT GO NEAR THIS PLACE AS MY SON HAS BEEB ILL FOR THREE DAYS SINCE HE WAS DEFINITELY GLUTENED ON THIS VISIT. GLUTEN FREE " YOU TAKE YOUR CHANCE!!" WAS HOW THE WAITRESS PUT IT DISGRACEFUL

NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY To put it bluntly the menu is misleading they say they can do a potato base gluten free but they CANNOT. DO NOT SAY ITS GLUTEN FREE IF ITS NOT GLUTEN FREE. I am a celiac and took the risk of the cross contamination of the pizza base as I had no other options. When my "pizza" came out it was frozen roast potatoes in a circular dish half the size of a normal pizza. It was honestly a shocking attempt at a "gluten free" which may not be gluten free pizza which is in fact just loaded frozen roast potatoes. This pizza was an absolute insult and I'm genuinely angry at the thought of it. Even the normal gluten pizzas were not good they all had a soggy bottom . Good taste but the dough was soggy. I can here before I was diagnosed about 6 months ago and the pizzas were very good but clearly it has gone downhill

What a very disappointing meal. My daughter booked here for her birthday meal and previously she had eaten here and loved it.however. From the moment the server served us we knew it was not a good start to the evening. One of our guests wanted the raspberry lemonade with a shot of gin in the reply was no we can’t do this? Although they had two cocktails on the menu that in fact had gin in. The mojitos were too sweet and way too minty. We all ordered pizzas, one chicken side and two rosemary, and garlic oil potatoes. We had a gluten free with us do we enquired about that option and he said they cannot guarantee this is suitable for celiacs due to cross contamination in the kitchen?????? However we were there and we in the process of all ordering and he ordered the “smashed roast potato base”. Hmmmmm well how disappointing this was!! It was so tiny looked like a child’s portion and was not smashed roast potato base it was a bowl of potatoes with a pizza topping on which he said was terrible. The rest of the pizzas were all soggy and slimy, no one finished them and were not very flavoursome. The advertised roast potatoes in garlic and rosemary was shocking!!! They looked and tasted like aunt Bessie’s frozen ones and were horrendous. We all left nearly all our pizzas. I complained about the food and they took the potatoes and GF pizza off, still the server made no comment on the amount of food was left. All in all we will not be back and was very upset with the food. My only regret is we did not take photos. !!

Spontaneous choice for a mid-retail therapy lunch....and what a great choice! Lovely location, really friendly staff and fabulous food! We will definitely be back 👍🏻

Excellent for a nice relaxed lunch, new menu so lots of fun choosing. We meet our daughter here who lives in Plymouth and are never disappointed.

Best pizzas I've ever had, a hidden gem in Plymouth. Visited regularly.

Very delicious food! (Pictured is the vegan margarita, crispy potatoes and brownie). But I wasn't impressed with the dirty cocktail stick and what appeared to be cigarette ash in-between the table wood.

I'm a very fussy eater. Absolutely love pizza, but I have to know what I'm eating. One of my friends suggested Knead Pizza back in 2020, and I was very sceptical. After consideration, we decided we would go with Knead Pizza. We absolutely loved it at that point and have always gone back. The pizza is delicious. I'm very impressed with the level of service and how good the ingredients are. Definitely do recommend to everyone

Lovely fresh pizza, a pizza cutter on the table would be great for tho

Sensational. Recommend both the arancini and the potatoes!! 👌

Really good pizza in a beautiful setting. Service great even though they were short staffed and obviously stretched thin.

The food was excellent. We spent 30£ with tip included (12.5%) and we had a pizza for sharing and one small garlic bread with garlic mayo and 2 drinks. I’m putting 3 stars as the waitress's behavior was unprofessional. She appeared overly attentive to my boyfriend, it felt like she was flirting with him and completely ignoring me. It was as if I didn't exist. Ridiculous.

Collected takeaway pizza’s, really very tasty and were ready at selected time! Will definitely use them again.

Gorgeous place!! The food is amazing definitely the best pizza i've had in a loooong time, i usually go stable but i think here is better now

What a find ! We sat out in the courtyard where they were making the pizzas. Lovely atmosphere and set within the church building. Food was fantastic. It's neopolitan style so the pizza is folded. Really tasty butternut squash and goats cheese one. Homemade lemonade really tasty. Staff were lovely.

Lovely venue in an old merchants house, staff were really friendly and went out their way to cater for my daughter. Pizza was delicious!

Absolutely fab pizza house. Great food, superb service, based in one of Plymouth's oldest buildings. If you like great pizza, this is the place to visit.

The pizza was delicious. The menu is intricately crafted and the delivery is on point, very yum. I recommend sitting in the courtyard, she has a lovely air about her. Fairly quick service and an overall great experience.

Best meal in Plymouth by a country mile. Amazing pizzas, cooked perfectly. Thank you!

We love this place! We have been to Plymouth twice and this is on our list of must visits for something to eat. The place itself is wonderful, the food incredible and it's just a nice place to go.

Stumbled upon Knead completely by accident but it was absolutely amazing. Great service, great options and great atmosphere!

I’m a huge pizza fan and snobby foodie, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Excellent pizza, friendly service. Grade II listed restaurant is just amazing. Had lunch in the sunny courtyard. Highly recommend.

We went for a very late lunch, early dinner depending on your view of the time. So we had a pick of the table. I think the venue itself is worth visiting as it's in an old church building. Coming to the Pizzas. We loved it, husband and older child and myself. My son and I had the not so pepperlonely which came with spiced honey. Very interesting combo. But my younger child found the charing too bitter, too much tomato sauce and not enough cheese was her opinion. So this is something to note if you have a child with a fussy palette. She did love the vegan brownie so that helped her not leave on an empty stomach. I would recommend this place for a grown up day out or if your child isn't fussy.

Lovely pizza, highly recommended

Best pizza this side of Naples!

Dined alone, great pizza (I like it Napolitan style, which is why I chose the place), friendly vibe, super efficient service, atmospheric location, decent prices (£6.50 Margherita Monday!), tasty Pale Ale on tap - nothing not to like. Would come here regularly if I lived in Plymouth.

Fabulous pizza and venue. Would highly recommend!

Restaurant set in a lovely building, does seem that the tables are a bit crammed in but we visited at a quiet time so wasn't an issue. Pizzas were excellent, as was the service. Recommend the crispy potatoes which were delicious.

Easily the best pizza in Plymouth, I eat here every time I visit the city.

Real taste of bella Napoli in quaint old English surroundings.

Lovely food. House Red wine is tasty. Great atmosphere

The look and style of this place is fantastic. 16th Century converted abode, it has been very tastefully decorated. Service too is friendly, helpful and swift. Unfortunately for us, the pizzas we all had were a vit 'watery'. The food was hot, and this is the subjective opinion of the 4 in our party, but another 10 mins under the grill would have been a game changer. Great beers on tap. We would go again, but not rush back.

Great Pizza Restaurant in a Medieval Merchant House,very atmospheric, tasty food, organic European wines. Fresh mint tea melted my heart ❤

Great food, fantastic service and all round nice vibe. Will certainly go back again soon.

Went again for my daughters birthday. The mortadella pizza was unreal!! Food was, as alwat, outstanding. Really attentive, friendly staff. Love this place.

We went for a birthday celebration taking a birthday cake with us just to be told that there was a £2 per head charge for us to eat it. I actually thought the waitress was joking, but no.. it would have been £16 just to eat our own cake. Absolutely ridiculous and very disappointing that management think that's acceptable. I don't know anywhere else that does this. Poor waitress, she was lovely and looked so embarrassed. Knead Pizza, you need to do better!

I think the owner probably knows this, but adding a 12.5% tip by default and having waiters keep saying it’s “optional” and can be “take off” feels really awkward. Everything was great, but this tipping thing might stop me from choosing this place next time. Maybe there’s a better way to handle tips!

Great food, staff were friendly and helpful. Proper dough, good toppings, and the cheesecake for dessert was delicious.

Highly recommend the roasted potatoes as a side with the garlic sauce!! Felt like I was eating true Italian pizza!! 🤤 Great atmosphere, great food, great company!

Great pizzas with excellent friendly service.

Excellent night out well done to all the team

Lovely interior and the food was amazing!

Always delicious pizza, a really nice place!

Incredible food, beautiful surroundings

Amazing pizza and desserts Great atmosphere Lovely service given by the man who dealt with our order he made us feel very welcome

I have been to this place I think about 4-5 times now. It is my go to for friends that do now know it and in general. I recommend it to my friend for her graduation meal and I just know her and her fam would love it. I love the specials - the carbonara pizza was insane. I only wish they bring the starter / side back that was pumpkin filled fried ravioli or something. I got it when I first went to the place but have not seen it as an option ever since.

First time visiting and will definitely be back. Best pizza in Plymouth

12% service charge automatically applied to the bills?! This isn't America, tips are for the customer to decide and shouldn't be expected or forced on people. First time ever seeing an already applied service charge in the UK, absolutely should not become the norm. Put off from going back.

Fab place, great pizza will definitely return!

Knead is such a lovely and cosy place to eat at in the evening , lovely staff and amazing food . felt welcomed as soon as me , my brother and dad came in, thank you guys for giving us such a lovely time!! Definitely will be back again

Had dinner here with both my sister and father. The atmosphere is amazing, making the dine in experience relaxing. Additionally, the service was incredible, staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we wanted. Finally, the pizza's (we ordered a pepperoni and margherita) were phenomenal. The flavours of the tomato sauce, pepperoni, cheese, honey and dough complimented each other perfectly. Will definitely be returning here at somepoint!

Good service. Great atmosphere. Lovely pizza. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely love this place. Authentic Neapolitan pizza and a cracking selection of craft beers in a beautiful location.
