Piccolo Kitchen in Down

Hands down the best Mediterranean/Adriatic food you'll get in Northern Ireland. The owner is an absolutely lovely man who constantly keeps raising the bar in terms of quality. One time, he personally made me a Beef Panzarotti and it was literal perfection. I'm not one to review, but Piccolo Kitchen absolutely deserves its success. Order already!

The food was good, but a bit bland. Unfortunately the place is a bit small, but that's the case with all shops here. And I also think it's a shame when you have to clear away the previous person's dishes and rubbish in order to have a table.

Best pizza i ever ate even better than in Greece, for such a small place a huge surprise we loved it

Great food, quick and pleasant service and we managed to get a table within 5mins.

Pizza was delicious as always. Lasagne was always a firm favourite but slightly disappointed in it this time. Portion size was definitely smaller than any other time we have visited and the rest of the dish was filled with the tomato sauce to bulk it out. Garlic dip was delicious. Staff were lovely and despite the large crowds getting food to take away they remained pleasant and managed to maintain their smiles. Piccolo never fails to provide good food. Worth a drive to Newcastle for a visit here alone!

Amazing energy and amazing food.

Was in Newcastle with my daughter and we both decided we'd like a pizza. Googled where we could go and decided on Piccolo Kitchen. Ordered two pizzas which were made from scratch with quality ingredients. A really nice touch was, although we ordered 2 pizzas we were given 3 - it was explained to us that the chef thought one was slightly over cooked and he made another one and they gave us the third pizza at no extra cost anyway. Honestly, all of the pizzas were delicious and I think the gesture demonstrated their desire to serve the best pizza they could - top marks for it!! As you can see from the photos the hygiene rating is 5 which is reassuring. Great experience and if you're looking for authentic pizzas I highly recommend it.

One of the nicest Pizzas I've had in Ireland!

We've been there first time and it was our random choice. We were nicely surprised with the food. Pizza was made from fresh ingredients and very tasty. We also ordered chicken goujons, chicken wings and chips which were fresh as well, crispy and tender. The garlic sauce was first class! Thick and full of flavour. Customer service (a young brunette served us) was welcoming, friendly and helpful with choices and organising table for us even though it was busy evening. The place is small but we and other family fit in with prams 😉

Lovely staff but omg the pizza with the wood smoke smell. My grandson on a visit from Brazil and travelling the world to sample pizzas 😋 said his best pizza ever 👍👍👍

The place to go in Newcastle for great Pizza unfortunately they no longer do their great burger and chip take away.

I was here with my fiancee today our food was delicious and the portions were massive

Nice selection however the pizza base was very soggy.

Stopped by for a lunch with my son, pizza Milano was great, chicken gujons with fries freshly prepared and crunchy, even made to find a table for sit in, nice staff, fast service, good to know whe when come again in Newcastle

Amazing pizza owners and staff very friendly 10/10 pizza base taste Amazing toppings of great quality

Myself and my partner got food poisoning from the takeaway pizzas. Do not go!!

Any time I ordered the pizza, it was delicious, but whatever you do, do not order Carbonara. It's microwave preheat, most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. Pity, as have been many times in Italy and know how delicious Carbonara can be.

Very nice staff, very quick and great pizza. Love it.

Best pizza this side of italy hands down

I have visited this restaurant on a number of occasions and they impress me every time. Freshly prepared pizza right before your eyes, eat in it take out. The best in Newcastle without a doubt

Incredibly delicious pizza and the dip was just next level. The prices are also okay. So glad I decided to go there. Best pizza I've had in a while!

Nice food and not long to wait for food to be served. Been a few times and only once I didn't have to wait on a table.. Very busy little place. Order at till and find a table if any availabile.. Once ur order is call u collect from til and tidy up after yourself. None of this is an issue for me. If u were less able it could be an issue plus I would also say not much room for a wheelchair. When eating I would say u are conscious of others waiting for your table so not somewhere u would sit for a long time and people watch.

Took just shy of an hour to get my food

Pizza was burnt and inedible around the edges. Minimum quantity of toppings and asked for cherry tomatoes which were just scattered on the pizza after it had been cooked. Not worth it.

The best pizza around. Great staff, always a friendly, warm welcome. Really enjoy going here.

Food was class. Staff friendly and helpful. We gona come back 👏

It's good pizza. It's a sit in rather than a dine in experience. I've been here a couple of times and the quality has been consistent.

The busiest pizza place, the turn around and high quality food is unbelievable!!! First time trying tonight, placing our order was easy with a friendly welcome! Myself and the kids got to watch the pizza dough rolled out, prepped and cooked which we all loved!!! The pizza was amazing!!!!! Cannot wait to try again!!!! One of the pizza chefs waved at the kids which made them so happy!!! Definitely a child friendly place!!! Honestly cannot recommend enough!!!

Pizzas were great, sauce and toppings were nice, cheese wasn't the best. The pasta wasn't good. It was overcooked and almost tasted microwaved. I would go back however and give it a second go for comparison. It was rather expensive for all it was too.

Delicious pizza. The friendly staff accommodated kids sized portions.

Hands down best pizza in Newcastle

The pomodoro (which I think was the only vegan option) was tasty - crispy crust, nice tomato sauce. Service was fast too.

Pizza as it should be staff friendly and helpful good portions and not to bad on price

Very tasty pizza plus they were the only decent pizza place that was still selling takeaway pizzas on a Sunday evening.

Great pizzas and the hot wings are awesome. Fab place to eat and great friendly service too.

Ordered pizzas for takeaway via the website, which wasn't the most user-friendly experience. It's probably better ordering over the phone. Tried pizzas here a few times and they are nice enough. Usually a fan of anchovies and artichoke on pizzas, but they really didn't taste nice from here on the one occasion i got them. In the end, I had to pick them off the pizza as they spoiled it.

I can safely say that this was the best woodfired pizza I've ever had. The pizza and garlic bread pizza were cooked to perfection and tasted really fresh. The pasta dishes that came out to other tables looked delicious. I'll definitely be driving from Belfast again just to get pizza and maybe to try the pasta dishes.

The food was 1st class and very well priced 😁

Stopped by this place looking for a delicious takeaway pizza. Made our own vegetarian pizza, by choosing the ingredients available on the menu. The staff is super friendly and the pizza was fresh, tasty and so enjoyable. Would I recommend this place? Yes, yes and yes😊😊🍕

Loved the pizza but dislike fish , pizza texture was amazing dough was perfectly baked

Food was delicious. So fresh and cooked perfectly. Seating a little uncomfortable

Nice wood fired pizza friendly staff good seating area

We ordered few pizzas and 3or4 pasta dishes. But non of it had any flavour we had to put so much salt on. Person who made my carbonara was probably a kitchen porter. That was one horrible looking dog food. For £8.90 i got 5 little strips of bacon with penne stuck together and something what they called parmesan cream but i think kitchen porter forgot to put parmesan in or maybe he thought parmesan is cream I don’t know. Its sad. The place has so much potential with wood fire owen and good chef you can do so much but right now its fail. Pizza looks good but again no flavour. We paid around £70 but left most of it in there. Size of pasta portions will not feed a child not an adult.

Has become our regular spot for a post-hike re-fuel. Pizzas are top notch!

Absolutely amazing food and prices are really great. Their pizza is far superior to any of the big chain pizza places.

Lovely pizza's and nice friendly staff

Love the wood fired pizza from here! :)

Típicas pizzas y con una excelente ensalada césar en un pueblo de costa interesante por el mar y la montaña más elevada de Irlanda

Amazing hand rolled pizza, made to order. Nicest pizza I've ever had. The wings are lovely and spicy. Beware tho. When they say spicy they mean it!

Great pizza. Really enjoyed it.

Fantastic pizzas 🍕👏and very Friendly staff

Delicious pizza, quick service even though it eas busy

Excellent pizzas and chips. 10/10. One of very few places I've found a pomodoro (marinara) pizza with no cheese on the menu. Kids were very happy with the food.

Best wood-fired pizzas in town (possibly all NI!)

Fantastic took the family out for a mid week treat and was delicious

Great wood fired pizzas, lovely pastas and desserts. Reasonably priced with friendly staff.

Clean premises food food and quick service

Big fan of pizza and have to say this place does pretty tasty ones 🙌

Excellent value for money and delicious pizza! Always try to visit when in Newcastle🙂

Really delicious pizza. I think it's related to the wood-fired pizza in Belfast.

Great spot for a decent breakfast fry. Haven't tried anything else. Staff very mannerly helpful and efficient

Pizzas were freshly made and very tasty , staff were polite and quick , would come back

Amazing range of food - their wood fired pizzas are made to perfection with good sizing available, their burgers are a great size and taste delicious, chips are cooked well and the lasagne is a great size and tasted brilliant. The staff have been friendly everytime and the food is served both for takeaway and sit in at a great time! Wish it had a bigger sit-in area but not the premises fault for that! It is the first place I order out of everytime I am here for dinner.

Fantastic pizzas - really good dough produces a great tasting base. A proper pizza. Good choice and varied menu of options. Great service and no long waits. Couldn't recommend enough.

Always great! Goats cheese pizzas are fab

Amazing service and freshly baked food 300

Lovely wee place to sit inside and enjoy an amazing, tasty and fresh pizza. The pizza was the best I've ever tasted from anywhere and the fries were so fresh and tasty! Defo recommend

Very disappointed in my Pepperoni pizza tonight. Not good.

Nice fresh and gluten free available

Food is amazing and the service is great,best food place I Newcastle

Delicious pizzas and really cheesy lasagna

Can't go wrong with a wood fired pizza.

Excellent service, friendly staff and delicious pizza! The recipe for success! Thank you guys! You made our day perfect 👏

Delicious gf pizza and pasta dish delivered piping hot. Thank you

Great pizza if you don't like cheese you will like this cheese pizza

First time having a Piccolo pizza.. It was lovely and will definitely be back. Price, service and quality!!

Staff excellent pizza yum just the right amount of stuff on it

Me and my partner ordered in advance for our two pizzas thinking it would be ready when we arrived, but faced a half hour wait upon arrival (this can be excused because it was a busy saturday evening and new regulations had just been put in place). When we received our food it was luke warm at best, which to me says that it was sitting for a while unnoticed. We got back to our accommodation and re heated the pizzas, but even then I could only describe it as average at best. The dough was very chewy (this couldve been due to the reheating) and the flavour just wasnt there- there was no real distinctive flavours or textures. To the restaurant's defence, the cheese was delicious- really creamy and melty, but everything else was only sub par. If the food came hot I would've easily given 3 stars.

Always love the pizzas in here when in Newcastle, only place I would go to for a pizza in and around this area.

Top of the range pizza cooked perfectly

Great pizza. Quick service. Good gluten free options.

Always fresh well priced pizza here highly recommend

Very good pizza. The dough is crispy with a bit of a chew and there are decent sized air pockets in the crust. I got a margarita and added parma ham, very tasty but I would've liked buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil with olive oil.

Never a let down wings are something else

Really friendly and amazing chicken wings

Delicious stone baked pizza. My favourite is Picanté. My wife loves the gluten free base option. Friendly staff. Great prices. Sit in, takeaway, & delivery. Highly recommended 👌

Appeared nice from outside but no evidence that I could see of social distancing.

Delicious pizza. Great value. All of the family is happy!

Omg the best pizzas! There it's a fairly good setup for social distancing. The flavour selection is great....and as an anchovy lover its thee only pizza place that can satisfy the craving....the dough is beautiful....our family actually eat the crusts.....goats cheese, black olives.....through to plain but tasty margarita! So your pizza can be as plain or pretentious as you like!!! Delish!

Honestly the best pizza I've ever eaten, and I've had my share of different pizzerias. So fresh, ingredients are perfect and sauce-to-cheese ratio is superb.

Theeeeeee best in newcastle and beyond

Terrific pizza, recommend the Piccolo Della Casa or build your own - both fantastic value. The best thing about this takeaway is the wee side order chicken goujons - 4 delicious pieces and loads of chips thrown in for free! Great service & such good value for money. Thanks Piccolo for great lockdown weekend food!

Excellent service and great food

Excellent pizzas, best in the town.

The costumer service is extremely good and I will eat regularly here

Lovely and cosey place to eat, food is delicious
