Koru Peaceful Pizza in Newcastle upon Tyne

Koru is a gem of a place. Very very tasty food, beautiful ambience and super nice staff. I love their pizzas, lots of choices, quality toppings and a fabulous dough. Basically everything you need for the perfect pizza! They are always happy to let you walk in without a booking. Staff always makes you feel extra welcome, can't praise them enough!

Amazing place, fantastic pizzas and the fact you can bring your own wine makes it a brilliant venue for a reasonably priced evening

Great service, lovely atmosphere. Just about everything on the menu has a gluten free option. Will be coming back!!

I tried the spicy beef pizza but did not enjoy it, however my friend had duck & hoisin sauce pizza which was much better but a little sickly &/sweet so I could not have eaten one to myself. It was very hot outside and in and we were at the very back of the restaurant furthest away from the door and air. The staff are friendly polite and on the ball. Not sure I’d go back

Really nice cafe with a large amount of dishes able to be made vegan or gluten free, so great for a group with multiple dietary requirements. Went with 8 people and all enjoyed their meals.

Went there for the first time. Really loved the atmosphere. Felt very calm and peaceful. Service was quick and food was excellent . Would love to go back . Definitely recommend.

I was pleasantly surprised the wood was amazing I enjoyed an amazing pizza, the rest of the table all had different dishes which all looked amazing.

Amazing food and staff couldn't be more helpful, we pre booked and pre ordered for 11 of us and every single dish was superb! We will most definitely return

Brilliant night thanks to Rebecca, Charlie and Gill. Great food and service, making a big birthday bash even more special. Thank you so much :) X

Starters and desserts are pretty good. Average pizzas, expected base to be better cooked and crisper. neapolitan style also needs longer in a wood fire oven

This is the best atmosphere of any cafe I’ve ever been to. Beautiful aesthetics. Rose Latte is delicious — it’s like drinking a Turkish delight. Service is friendly & caring, both staff and owners. Amazing food. Don’t skip a visit! So worth it.

The staff were lovely and the food was fantastic.

Return to Koru great BYOB, favourite for everyone.

Lovely pizza place. Their salads are great too. The place is lovely, people are friendly and the prices are good too. We are very local and love it and my kids love to go there on their own as well. It is so nice to have a place like Koru on Salters road which is not the nicest place in Gosforth. Love it !

Great food, helpful staff and good value. Very dog friendly too!

Had a lovely meal here. Pizza was delicious and you can bring your own drinks.

My new favourite restaurant! Nice menu that caters for everyone and the staff are so lovely & helpful. Would definitely recommend. Can’t wait to return!

Great food at a charming place away from the high street. Service was excellent from the staff who went above & beyond to cater for our needs. Well recommended for a return.

A great place to eat. Italian based menu with plenty of options for vegan, vegetarian and other dietary requirements. Atmosphere is really relaxing with soft music and general bustle of a restaurant. We ate around 4pm with our two young children, there were a few other families with young children and the staff were really engaging with them, which was nice. Food and ingredients were really fresh, you could look into the kitchen as it was being made which is always in my opinion. Another little highlight is that you can bring your own drinks in and pay a corkage fee, I think this one pound per bottle but I can't remember. There was also a wine menu if you don't want to bring your own. The space inside was nicely decorated with eastern style art as well as drawings and colourings that kids had done. Loads of plants and books as well which you can enjoy while having a coffee and a cake. There also a nice outdoor space to the front. All in all a great restaurant and worth a visit.

Lovely place which could easily get overlooked. Great atmosphere and friendly accommodating staff. Booked as part of a group of 8 on a Friday night and some of our group were a little late. This was no problem and never felt rushed to order. We also hung around a little after finishing and despite it being busy never felt like we had to leave. The menu is extensive and there is so much to choose from. I had the florentina pizza and the toppings tasted delicious. I’ve marked down a point for food purely as personally the base wasn’t my personal preference. But I can’t fault the service atmosphere and general vibe of the place. Would definitely return

The food was delicious and very reasonably priced, The staff was very attentive,photo was starter focaccia bread with olive oil and balsamic dip,beetroot houmas and mixed olives then we had greek pizza and pasta to share all in all very good

Visited Koru for first time last Sunday as part of a foraging course. So only had an Oat latte which was exceptional, along with the whole vibe of the place, owner and staff. Menu looked fantastic so will definitely be back for food

Lovely place to meet for coffee or eat as a celebratory meal. Staff are friendly and food is lovely.

Delicious food and very friendly and accommodating staff, it was a pleasure to eat there and I hope to visit again soon!

Update Jan 2024: Another gorgeous meal here. Impeccable service. Beautiful atmosphere. Interesting mixed clientele. And talented folk in the kitchen. Perfect for date night, friends, or family meal. Aubergine goats cheese pizza had so much flavour and was loaded with toppings. Goats cheese bruschetta was mwah too. Highly recommend. Book early to get your 2 hour slot here. Original 2021 review: Gorgeous place with beautiful stone baked pizzas. I had the chorizo and coconut cream pizza and there were so many I wanted to try on their interesting menu. They have a nice little kids option too. Beautiful interiors too - I feel like I could spend all day here! Highly recommend

Had such a lovely lunch here and the staff were so responsive to my particular needs. It certainly is peaceful and relaxing with a perfect ambience. Great value to thanks we'll be back.

Delicious food. Amazing staff who when above and beyond with similes and genuine friendliness. Lovely setting and atmosphere. Affordable prices. Thank you xxx

Lovely atmosphere and decor Delicious food Very accommodating as we had our baby in his pram

My husband and I went with our two kids, for the older Birthday celebration. The food was great and the staff couldn’t have been more lovely. This is a must visit if in Gosforth

Twelve of us shared a great evening at Koru on New Year's Eve. We all agreed that the food and the service from the very friendly staff was excellent.

Hidden gem not far from Gosforth High St. Great for pizza and bring your own drink!

Great food, great staff, great value

Lovely little place with great staff and a really nice atmosphere. The pizza was excellent as well.

We always return and we always have a good time!

The most flavoursome pizza i’ve had in a long long time. Super fresh, a huge varied menu with something for everyone, and lovely staff :)

This restaurant is a total hidden gem. Beautiful inside with stunning food and a relaxing atmosphere. I visited for lunch and will 100% be returning for dinner

Never had anything less than stunning food and service in a fabulous environment 👌

Wonderful food, atmosphere and the service from Jill was 10/10. Our boys loved it and ate everything.

Amazing food with comfortable and beautiful vibes. The taste of foods is surprising. It is worthwhile to sample everything on the menu. Most surprising is that the menu has matcha latte which tastes absolutely delicious. The lady and young man always smile and are energetic. Thank you for giving us yummy food and a great environment.

Super food served in a lovely venue by friendly staff. Thank you!

Delicious pizza gluten and gluten free. The staff were friendly and we loved the plants and eclectic decor

Really comfy, cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Delicious food at a fair price. My partner and I went for evening pizzas and the focaccia was wonderful too.

Excellent restaurant. Decent prices. Take your own wine

What a pleasant restaurant. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, excellent service & sensational pizza (yes, sensational). Can't wait to return.

Can't fault Koru. Fantastic consistently great food. Lovely friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Our favorite restaurant.

We had a couple of pizzas and a salad, which were absolutely delicious. Having been so happy with our mains, we opted for some desserts, the banoffee sundae, and the waffle. Unfortunately, these were not worth the money. The ice cream in the sundae was melted by the time it was served, and the waffle seemed to be microwaved (a bit too long) from a packet. My advice: stick with the mains.

I love to eat chili pizza, it's delicious

Koru is a great restaurant with helpful, friendly staff. Their vegan options are great, some of the nicest pizza in Newcastle for sure.

I don't really want more people to come here but I can't avoid saying how good it is!

A real gem. Really popular so book ahead

This was the 2nd time we've been to Koru, the pizzas are fabulous and there are many gluten-free options available. We took our own wine. The service was prompt and friendly. We will definitely be going back 😋😋

Lovely wee place. Been twice now, and the staff were always lovely and welcoming. Good selection. My only qualm is that my pizza is regularly overcooked, to the point of chewy and difficult to cut and eat. And for a predominantly-pizza place, they really need to supply pizza cutters, instead of blunt fork and knife only.

A super awesome place with superb food, fantastic prices and the best staff ever!!

Such a lovely place! Food is beautiful. Staff really friendly and accommodating. Really nice atmosphere inside. Can BYOB as well which is a bonus 😊

Absolute 10/10 food, staff and atmosphere. You must try the focaccia! New favourite eatery in the north east.

The dogs love going here and will activeky want to go in when they get the chance! The pizzas here are pretty amazing, with a lovely pineapple and mushroom one. It’s got lots of vegan options too. Definitely one of the lovely little local gems in gosforth

A very nice and quiet place to eat and socialize. The menu has some interesting options. We completely enjoyed our paninnis.

What a lovely place, great atmosphere. Fantastic choice of pizzas that are delicious. Nice cakes.

Lovely atmospheric pizzeria in the heart of Gosforth. Unique decor and great you can take your own wine to go with their gorgeous oven baked pizzas!

This is my go to restaurant for Italian food. Family friendly, food tastes good and a nice friendly atmosphere. They don’t serve alcohol but they allow you to bring your own. There is a shop next door where you can buy your drinks from so not a massive inconvenience. 4 stars due to the hike in prices, I used to eat there every weekend but now not as much.

Fabulous large family gathering and experience

Sweet place. Reasonable prices. Kind, committed people

Great if you like to gamble. Sometimes a lovely experience with really tasty, unusual pizza combinations. Sometimes, the pizza dough is flat and you get squashed on a table that is far too small despite prebooking.

Wonderful place, really lovely decor and atmosphere and nice food!

Lovely toasties. Pizzas looked great too

Great food, freshly made pizzas, delicious homemade desserts, all in a friendly atmosphere and for a fair price. You can BYOB too! Some of the tables are a bit cramped is maybe the only downside.

If only there was 6 stars for atmosphere.

Good variety of unusual flavoured pizzas.

The pizza is delicious! I had The Rainbow pizza and the olives and sundried tomatoes were so tasty. Its great for vegans as they do vegan cheese and vegan options for a number of different pizzas. The staff are really friendly and the atmosphere is really cosy and welcoming.

The food was good but could have used a little more flavour. The pizzas are filling but the main meal/pasta portions are tiny and I left still hungry. In addition for a place called peaceful pizza the wait staff were rude and kept rushing our party. We got told 4 times there was an upcoming booking. Okay, we get it. And then they rushed us out. I've never had such bad service just because another table has arrived. I won't return and it definitely wasn't a peaceful visit.

Excellent, lovely freshly made food. As good as ever, service was impeccable

Fantastic pizza, great atmosphere, really friendly, helpful staff

Went here for a spot of lunch with a friend for a catch up and loved the decor and atmosphere. Would recommend it x

Great staff and service, enjoyed a family lunch at very reasonable price.

Best pizza ive ever had! Cant wait to go back.

Tried the Pizza - really nice , would definitely vist again

Wonderful atmosphere very cosy and great playlist ! Lovely decor and great staff ! Pizza is very good, the spicy pasta not so much….. Would recommend

Someone recommended Koru saying it was the best pizza ever and dog friendly so had to try it. The pizza was deeeelicious, we went at 4pm so was really quiet, super fast service, lovely people, they made a big fuss of patch the pirate puppy and gave him treats and things to keep him quiet while we ate. It’s a cool vibe/ aesthetic. Highly recommend, I can’t wait to go back!

Friendly staff and eclectic vibe. Delicious pizza. BYOB. Desserts were scrumptious!

Quick service. Lovely pizza and starters, fresh ingredients and great taste.

1st time there and the food and service were excellent. We'll be back.

Pizza is so healthy tasting but not that filling. Good spot for evening sun outside and off licence next door had decent selection of wine which you can take with you to restaurant

Nice pizza , nice staff. Love that you can take your own alcohol. Not a big place so would strongly advise booking

Lovely little pizza place with fantastic vibe. Bring your own, so great value. Lovely staff!

Very nice place; I like the interior with many plants; friendly owner 👍🏻

Pleasant staff and very obliging excellent food cabt wait to return.

Very cozy Nice friendly atmosphere Chilled out music Delicious food You can bring your own alcohol if needed

Chilled out cafe with delicious pizzas. We had a take away, ordered by phone and were given a pick-up time, paid on arrival, by the time I’d paid the pizzas were in my hands.

Nice and cost place to have pizza in Gosforth. Would be amazing if they had brunch!

Lovely staff and lovely atmosphere.

I thought this place was nice. The pizza I had was really good but the pasta dishes my two friends had were pretty average. Service was friendly. You also take your own alcohol, we went next door to the Spar supermarket and bought a bottle of wine. Overall an OK experience.

A lovely little bistro pizza restaurant witharelaxedatmosphere. Very friendly and professional staff. The only issues is that they only online menus they have are on Facebook which we don't subscribe to. The pizza and pasta are really tasty and freshly baked using local produce they also have an extensive GF menu, as they don't have an alcohol license you have to take your own but there's a small corkage fee. We will definitely be going back soon if we can get a table booked.

Had a lovely starter and dessert. My pizza was ok but lacked a bit of flavour. Would definitely recommend it. Great atmosphere and setting.

Nice atmosphere, delicious pizza and friendly staff.

Great venue - very cosy and atmospheric and lovely food

Best stoned baked pizzas around! Beautiful deco with plenty of tables and lovely terrace for summer time. There’s no alcoholic drinks on the menu but they welcome you with bringing your own!

Extremely great pizza. Had the Peking duck pizza which I would recommend and would get again!! Friendly and helpful staff!

Pizza was delicious. Staff lovely

Absolutely love this place. Me and my husband love coming here. The atmosphere is amazing and all of the staff are so lovely. We go for coffee and cake regularly, and occasionally (I.e once a month 😅) we get food too. We have tried a lot of things on the menu and I have yet to find anything I don't like. Its clear a lot of thought has gone into the menu! I personally love the coffee, and the sticky toffee latte is my favourite coffee I have had anywhere. The staff are the best. They know us by name and they also remember what we said last time and ask afterwards. Its so lovely and we genuinely enjoy chatting to the staff and finding out how they are too! Everyone and everything at Koru is so refreshing, their food and drinks, atmosphere but also their attitude. They are so down to earth and so open about their mistakes, growth and experiences. Everyone makes mistakes, but it's how we get up back up again and learn from them is whats important! It is so refreshing how open they are. They also clearly care about their staff which I think is so important! Koru is perfect for a cute date night, a cake and coffee catch up, or a family gathering. If I could give more stars I would!!!

What a wonderful surprise to find this superb eating place on the doorstep. Had a good feeling as soon as we walked in and the food, service, ambience were all exceptional. So far as I'm concerned this is definitely a go-to place and discovering that the establishment is dog friendly is a further bonus.
