Panificio Chirico Bakery in Bedford

The best place to eat real Italian pizza in the town

Not the same as previous owners, the pizza base just wasn't the same

Lovely pizza. No frills, no fuss, just on-point. Would go again.

Great value for your money, excellent produce, highly recommended

Since Enrico and his mother sandina decided to betray the memory of amadeo and employ polish folk the bread is bad just isent edible thear is a polish women thear who doesn't understand Italian and only remedial English she told me she had been heer 12 years and she can hardly speak a lick of inglish si vergonia

The pizza itself was lovely but we received the wrong one which was disappointing

Gentleman who runs this joint is rude and arrogant. Don’t know what hygiene class this guy went to.! horrendous service followed by an awful pizza, or what he called a pizza. Shocking

Avoid this place. Better off getting a cardboard pizza from Asda

They use biodegradable bags! Thank you for your effort

Lovely bread, friendly staff. Will come back again

Good selection of Italian bread.

All pizzas are made by hand infront of you by friendly and welcoming staff. Everything is fresh. Tomatoes all cut on the day, herbs sourced locally, based made by the same people who make the wonderful bread you see being sold in town in the chirico bakery van.

Very good pizza and bakery! Authentic and priced competitively. Would regard it as a hidden gem.

Fantastic pizza best in Bedford 100% come to here you will not be disappointed

Top team as normal and very helpful

Very friendly and pizza is great we always use them

I started buying the sourdough bread from their van on Bedford market and since the outbreak of the virus have chosen to visit the bakery (behind the pizzeria).Until i found the one i prefer called a large greek, my wife and i would bring back 20 or more French baguettes on each of our frequent visits to her parents in France and we would freeze them and only use them at dinner parties, but since finding the wonderful bread from panificio chirico we have delight every day.I cut the large greek into 6 pieces and freeze them. It takes a few hours to defrost and i cut into thick slices 15 - 20 mm and put into the toaster for 3 - 4 minutes, the let it rest fo 2 - 3 minutes, put butter on and it just melts in the mouth with ham, salami, cheese or jam! Magnificent is the only way to describe this bread.

Always great pizzas and service with a smile. Excellent delivery service

Excellent pizza. By far the best in Bedford.

These guys have a bread van that visits Bletchley higher street every Thursday 7am - 3pm. I buy what they call a ‘large greek’ loaf here every week (£4). It’s truly outstanding, so much so lots of family, friends & work colleagues ask me to pick some up for them too. Keeps well & obviously you can freeze it too. Highly recommend.

Amazing pizzas and the staff are so helpful and friendly. My new place for pizzas. No other pizza compares

Very good, very prompt. Will use again.

The Best pizza's in The Bedford

Real authentic Italian pizza at a good price.

Not as good as I thought it would be

Delicious homemade bread. Good price. Nice staff.

Lovely friendly people and gorgeous bread

Best traditional Italian pizza and bakery in Bedford. Very competitive pricing and friendly service!

Bedfords best kept secret for traditional pizza, have used on occasions when near by real taste of Italy, once tried you'll return.

Good price, lovely taste, could have done with being a little thinner, however toppings were good and taste was good. Plenty to go round with plenty of left overs for 4 adults and 3 children.

Fabulous authentic Italian pizza, served from a converted old council house.

Great service, tasty pizza. Real deal.

Authentic, delicious pizza every time.

Without doubt this is one of the best kept secrets in Bedford. I've been buying my pizza there for 15 years and now make the trip down to chirico from Northampton. The family size pizzas are great value.love it.

We love the pizzas from Chirico’s. Tasty every time. The large pizzas are great for parties too! Definitely would recommend them

Great food and very affordable, but the staff are extremely rude and very arrogant, not what I expected, very disappointed, if the service was as good as their pizzas I would’ve given it 5 stars

Excellent even I enjoyed it and do not usually eat pizza

Great service. Always very pleasant, efficient and friendly. But best of all - GREAT BREAD.

I called to order a large pizza for delivery, the telephone service was excellent, very professional. The pizza was delivered in very good time, was hot on arrival and tasted wonderful. The gentleman who delivered to my door was very friendly and polite, I was so impressed that I gave him a tip (which I do not normally do). I will be ordering from here again. Great service and great tasting pizza. The only downside would have liked to see a few more prawns on the pizza, but that's not a problem as I am more than pleased with my whole ordering experience.

Best Pizza in town 👌🏼😋 Fast,fresh and Authentic. It’s a shame they don’t serve Vino. Happy to drive out of my way to get a take away from here

Wow! Prob the only last true Italian bakery and original pizza takeaway in bedford . Tucked away off main ampthill rd , main a6 trunk road near to Aldi. Think the baking starting around 2am onwards and even though pizza shop closed till 5pm evenings u can call into side entrance to buy leftover breads until late morning as they send most to wholesale customers avd market daily . Still good selection available around 11am my visit . Fantastic breads , warm lovely fresh tasty breads . Thanks

Best pizza in Bedford been a customer for years, haven't been let down once. Also try the home made bread they made behind the pizza shop, delicious.

Not really a pizza person but this is Simply the Best .... the only pizza I eat

Great authentic Italian pizzas with fresh and tasty ingredients

We eat the sourdough bread it is delicious!

i have been getting pizza from chiricos for at least 15 years and they are the most authentic and tastiest pizzas in uk , chirico also sell authentic southern italian style bread which is also superb.

Try the family sized 30" X 18"👌🏼 A**

This is a small and friendly independent family run pizzeria that produces some of the very best traditional Italian style pizzas that I've ever tasted. Sizes range from 9inches up to massive party pizzas and are excellent value for money with good quality fresh ingredients. I can't speak to how good the delivery services since it's only five minutes walk from me. I would recommend Pizzeria Chirico to anyone who enjoys a good pizza.

No estoy en serio sobre mucho, pero cuando se trata de auténtica Pizza italiana cosas conseguir real; me encanta ... y por suerte en Bedford hay 3 que son de calidad fantástica. He tenido dos pizzas entregado de Chirico y que son fantásticas - mano en forma las bases son perfectos y las coberturas son hecho correctamente - el Quattro restaurante Stagioni Alexander ofrece cocina toscana e internacional es mi favorito, es de la mejor pizza que he tenido. También hay que decir que estos chicos hornear algunas de las mejores variedades de pan que he tenido también - disponible desde St Peters Square los sábados y los miércoles, así como la panadería en sí.

Siempre amable, siempre fresco, muy sabrosa, y una excelente relación calidad-precio. Este es un lugar muy auténtico la comida es genial que descubrimos las Pizza tartas encantador, muy abundante. Esto es parte de la panadería estos chicos tienen una furgoneta en el mercado de pan para que es también de primera clase. negocio familiar con personas que se preocupan por theeir clientes y la comida que producen. Como debería ser sobresaliente todo de nosotros! Muchas gracias.

I always choose Chirico for my pizza and have been doing so for probably at least the last twenty years.

Definitely the best pizza in Bedford. Real authentic pizzas that taste straight out of Naples. The calzone is a speciality and not to be missed.

I like their bread, I usually purchase it at the market on saturday, but my favourite is the pizza. Delivered at home in less than 1 hour (it took them 15 minutes last time I did), very tasty topping and nice crunchy dough.

Wow this food is so fresh and tasty & local too! They do great tray pizzas and you can buy thrir bread on the market too!

I don't think I'm exaggerating at all by saying these guys make the best pizzas in Bedford. I'm yet to try the bakery goods but if the pizza is anything to go by they must be great. I might have to order a pizza tonight now its in my head.

You can have whatever pizza you like and its always ready when he says its going to be ready, no lame excuses.

Pizza Chirico, is by far one of the most reputable Pizza Takeaway in Bedford, I recently enjoyed a mouth watering cheese, tomato, pepperoni and ham 12" Inch Pizza, cooked to perfection with Fresh ingredients, that were bursting with flavour. Thank you Eric and Sandra, and see you again very soon.

Very good PIZZA. Authentic Neapolitan pizza. Served by a very enthusiastic football fan who cooked the best pizza ever. Best. Thank you very much.

All fresh from hand made dough.... Lovely ingredients making it one of the best in town.... And Bedford has a lot of choice when it comes to pizza... For better than the multi-chain places....

Delicious authentic Italian bread and pizza. They also have a market stall on Wednesday's and Saturday's in the town centre. Highly recommended

very good price for a pizza especially the tray, great value

You cant beat the pizza,s from here, they are the closest you will get to what you find in italy. Always fresh and tasty and great value for money.Once you try them you wont go back to the big chain pizza companys.They now deliver......

After recently and regularly buying our bread from here we decided to have a pizza on Saturday night. It was delicious-the base especially. The topping was probably cut up a bit too small for our particular taste but nontheless all round good pizza. If you don't go for pizza tho, you must try the bread.

I ordered at midday two trays of Pizza for New Years Eve to be collected in the evening. The order was not ready and we were forced to wait 30 minutes. When it arrived, it was far from freshly made and once we got home and opened the boxes, it was cold, burnt and completely dried out just as if it had been made earlier and kept in an oven for several hours. I phoned to complain (I have been using them for years and this was well below their normal standard) and was treated with contempt. I was told to order my takeaways from someone else in the future and the telephone was put down on me. Never again!

An incredibly authentic pizza restaurant. Fantastic value for money (far cheaper than dominos or pizza hut). Probably the best pizza you can get outside of Italy.....Bedford is very lucky!

One of the most authentic you will find anywhere outside of Naples.

Bedford has a thriving Italian community, and a work colleague suggested that I try Pizzeria Chirico (I'm a bit of a foodie, you might say!) This small shop is tucked away down a side street about 5 minutes from the centre of Bedford and opens Wednesday - Sunday 5pm - 11pm (this info is on the menu, and I'd tried a couple of times to go previously, but it was always closed.) The pizza here is excellent, all doughs, pastes and sauces are made on the premises. The flavours are very different to your run-of-the-mill takeaways like Domino's and Perfect Pizza, Chirico's pizza's are how I imagine pizza tastes in Italy. Classic combinations like the Margherita (cheese and tomato) are here of course, as are the Quattro Stagioni (four seasons) combination of tomatoes, mozzarella, mushrooms, ham, pepperoni sausage and oregano. Then there are the less well known Pugliese (probably originating from the Puglia region of Italy) which contains egg, onions and grated parmesan cheese. You won't find crazily named pizzas endorsed by cartoon characters or advertising the latest TV talent show. Instead, you'll be treated to tasty, honest , authentic Italian pizza, cooked with passion and integrity that cannot fail to impress. Go give 'em a try, I promise you won't be disappointed!
