Pizza Grazie in Blackpool

This is a charity, dishing out food to the homeless and housed in a church, and as such you shouldn’t expect fine dining conditions. But I’ve had fewer friendlier welcomes in restaurants than I got here. The pizza (er - lots of meat; can’t remember what they called it) - wood-fired, was splendid, crispy, loaded and well-cooked. The dough balls - cheese and garlic - were marvellous. I’ll never look at Pizza Express’s again. First rate. The service was excellent. Thanks!

Great place and lovely atmosphere, food was amazing. Would definitely eat there again. Was recommended by some good friends around the area.

We where going to go in based on reviews we called by in the day as we were staying 5 mins away but the stench of cannabis coming from the place was disgusting, I put this down to a lad in a car with his windows steamed up and other guys blocking the doorway, we called back later that evening on the way back to our hotel and the same again door blocked and stunk of cannabis and before you reply these where guest one of them was in chef's gear so unless it was fancy dress the place has a drugs issue not where id like my family to go but based on what we experienced in Blackpool maybe the place to go nowadays if you want a smoke and a feed

Just finished off a fab, freshly made italian feast. The meatballs were tasty and in a really authentic italian tomato sauce. My husband and daughter had pizza which they both really enjoyed. The service and atmosphere was great. This little blackpool gem is well worth a visit.

This truly is a hidden gem, would highly recommend if you like Italian. The service is second to none! What a lovely place and the food really was delicious, incredibly fresh and cooked perfectly. Also feels good to help the local community and help raise funds.

Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream was delicious . Love the way you can pay it forward and how much they help the homeless. Thank you. If we come again we will definitely come here.

Absolutely brilliant place to eat. Came with my 11 year old and we both loved the food. We had the spaghetti meatballs which were delicious and the arabiatta which was also yummy. I highly recommend this place, so much choice for food and the staff really look after you. And so nice not to eat fish and chips again!!! Thanks so much for a lovely evening we will definitely be back.

So happy I found this little place on the Internet! After a real crappy meal elsewhere the night before It was so lovely to have amazing service. All the boys waited hand and foot on us. The food was sooooo good! Pizza's we had were yummy and super cheesy and my Arabiata (if that's how you spell it) was really tasty! The young boy (sorry I didn't ask for a name) was actually in the kitchen as chef for the 1st time this evening and the food was just amazing!! Shame we are going hoke tomorrow otherwise we would have gone back! 100% recommend

Absolutely amazing food, wood fired pizza delicious and authentic Pasta amazing Friendly staff, and a nice setting Will go again

we were here as a group and it was absolutely amazing the atmosphere was amazing and the staff were all so so lovely aswell. not to mention the food was delicious- certainly recommend

Visited on a Saturday evening as a family of 5 - 2 adults and 3 young children 2yrs, 4yrs and 6yrs. We were greeted by the young but very competent polite staff. Were offered a complimentary pizza bread before ordering which was an instant hit with the kids. The food itself was amazing and was very well prepared and presented. The staff really made it for us and were very happy to chat and were especially engaging with our young crew. Would highly recommend and will certainly return when back in Blackpool. Keep up the great work guys. Be Blessed. The Fleetwood Five.

One of Blackpool's best, Great food, great place, hidden gem, great friendly staff, highly recommended to all our guests and family

A quirky small pizza place off set from main Blackpool. This place is a converted chapel. Very friendly staff. Pizza was delicious, loaded fries (£10) with bacon and cheese were nice. But bring your own booze, this place only sells cans of pop. Would recommend.

Just visited for our dinner after looking at reviews on trip advisor and as it suited for our son who has a dairy allergy. All pizzas were freshly made and delicious. Staff are very friendly with a relaxed environment. Would definitely recommend visiting here.

I am extremely fussy and this restaurant blew me out of the water with the standard of food the taste the service, the kindness of the team. They really pull out all of the stops.. nothing was too much trouble, I ordered special food that was not on the menu and it came piping hot and really tasty. I will definitely be going back to this establishment. Well done to you all. If I could give you more than five stars, I would 👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What an outstanding eatery. Not only does the team do amazing things for those in need, but it provides a fair, kind, warm, welcoming establishment with some AMAZING culinary delights... As a family we visited, the food was out of this world, fresh, piping hot 🔥 and so so tasty, I have an allergy, and the chef prepared me an excellent bespoke meal - nothing was to much trouble 🍝 They ensured the highest customer experience You really need to put this place on your to visit List - I cannot recommend it enough, The whole team are an absolute credit - THANK YOU 👏 for making our visit so memorable… l will definitely be visiting again.

Saw the doc Poverty in the UK..... This was you???? WOW, great job!!!!! R E S P E C T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greetings, Robert B, The Netherlands

This restaurant is a little gem! The food was really tasty but what really made it was the staff. Everyone was super friendly and helpful and the service as quick. Lovely place and we’ll definitely be back

My friend and I ate at this gem of a restaurant after an afternoon at the Opera House. From the moment we arrived I was impressed with not only the surroundings, the superb staff and the delicious food, but also the wonderful ethics of this charity run establishment. To be able to have such a high quality dining experience at the same time as supporting the homeless and food-impoverished of the area is a first for me, but it will certainly not be the last. I know where I will be eating on any future visit to Blackpool! Highly recommended.

If you like Italian food, this is probably the best you'll find in the North West. There really is nothing like it. The pizza is phenomenal, and they often do specials - at the moment, there's a turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, bacon, and onion pizza on the menu. A bit strange, one might think? It was magnificent. They cook a huge tray of lasagne, which tastes amazing, and whatever they don't sell in the restaurant goes to the homeless on the streets of Blackpool. The same goes for everything else they prepare. You can buy a "pay forward pizza" for a fiver, and that pizza is guaranteed to feed a homeless or needy person in Blackpool. But what truly sets this place apart is the quality of the food. I can't put into words how amazing it is. Come and try it. Danny is a great waiter. Mark, who runs the place, is definitely either Bez from the Happy Mondays or Paul Weller in disguise, and he's a lovely fellow. Everyone who works there is amazing. You will definitely get looked after here. This place deserves your visit and you deserve to experience it!

If you are visiting Blackpool this is a go to restaurant, the food was absolutely to die for and the customer service was amazing, I had garlic mushrooms for starter they was so delicious and then had a festive pizza for my main and again...

Everything was spot on. Bring your own bottle. Staff are great and so accommodating. Grub was delicious. Get the carbonara, you won’t be disappointed. Pizza is also delicious. Great value for money.

Best dining experience I've ever had staff was so friendly pizza cooked to perfect alongside a welcoming manager, we felt at home I highly recommend this restaurant

Blackpool’s best kept secret. What this team manage to do is amazing. First of all, outstanding food, first and foremost. A talented team of young chefs, hardworking and very humble - not out of place in a top London restaurant. Nothing too much trouble, great...

We came here after 15 days of travelling, so hungry for good food. We were greeted with the warmest service. Our food came out hot and fresh and it was honestly the best pizza ever. The dough balls were insane, I wish I had their...

First time visiting Blackpool. Walked for ages amongst a sea of crappy fish & chip places and greasy spoon cafes, and stumbled across this absolute gem of a restaurant. Delicious, home cooked food. Friendly staff & excellent service. Best meal of our trip and that...

Fabulous little restaurant just behind promenade. Excellent service from cheerful young man. Pizzas, bruschetta and garlic doughballs were delicious. Very good value and portion sizes. We ended up having to take pizza home. Salad with bruschetta lovely and fresh especially given we visited on a...

This is a volunteer based Italian style restaurant, established to provide food and services to the homeless in the Blackpool community. Apart from the amazing work they do with the homeless and needy, they offer an amazing restaurant to the general public. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The food and service are above excellent, the place is spotless. This is genuinely the best place to eat in Blackpool. I will visit this place every time I am in the resort.

Another fantastic meal with the family. A very fussy child is always stuck for choice as loves the pizza and spaghetti bolognese in equal measure.

This place is fantastic.. Staff so friendly. Food fabulous. Great flavours and quantity. Cannot wait to see you guys again. Worthy cause also. Remember to tip x

Amazing food & service & massive portions! Brilliant prices too and very accommodating for us a table of 18.

What a little gem this is!! Beautiful food and friendly staff. The help and support they provide the community is invaluable 🫶

Couldn’t wait for the restaurant to open this week. As normal 5 star service and excellent food. Love the charity concept and wouldn’t go anywhere else Chef Chris does amazing pasta and the kids love Chef Alfie’s pizza Can’t wait to visit again soon

Pizza grazie has some of the best food in Blackpool and what makes it even more special is that the fund's generated by the restaurant go back into the local community via the shop downstairs and free pizza Fridays Service is spot on Honestly if...

Was staying round the corner from here and a couple of the other guests had mentioned this place so we had to give it a try. On entering the building we was greeted by Mark and Danny took us to our table. We ordered two...

This has to be the best Pizza place I have ever been to. The food was amazing and the service was out of this world. Keep ups the great work.

Incredible food and service. We had carbonara and pepperoni pizza. Would definitely come again. Great community atmosphere. Profiteroles were delicious. Alan was an excellent waiter.

Food was poor and service was worse, felt like they did not want us there. High price and the place is not worth it. Stay away as complete waste of money

Magic wee spot. Food was class. The starters were big portions and the dinner were also big. The waiters were helpful and on point too. X

From the outside we were a bit sceptical however once we were all seated and ordered the service was amazing all the staff were lovely. The food was absolutely beautiful possibly 1 of the nicest pizzas I’ve eaten. Love the charity community that they are...

Fantastic pizza, pasta and atmosphere. We were visiting Blackpool and had a big group of dads and lads. Mark and his team were super accommodating and it was lovely to meet so many locals too. These guys not only run a fantastic restaurant but they...

Interesting location, friendly and accommodating staff and delicious food. A charitable bunch as well! Simply put we didn't find anything we didn't enjoy about our experience!

Had a lovely meal for my dads birthday, the customer service is always brilliant and the food is even better. The sticky toffee pudding with ice cream was lovely

We booked online which was simple and we received confirmation our booking had to be moved to 30 minutes later due to soup kitchen element. This was absolutely fine. The restaurant is in a back street not far way from Pleasure Beach. Parking is on...

I've always had a hard time finding good food in Blackpool but this time I found this place on google maps and when I went it was great. The prices were reasonable. In a church with a friendly atmosphere, the idea of ​​opening a restaurant...

Outside looks cute, but different - hard to explain - but more like a church and drop in centre (which it is) than a restaurant. If you want a first date or very special meal out, this isn’t the place for you. It’s no Michelin...

After a long drive form the south west, we decided to stop for a pizza at Pizza Grazie. Apart from the excellent food (I’m Italian and the pizza and the bruschetta’s were excellent) the service and the atmosphere were even better than the food. Mark...

This was a wonderful recommendation - the food was lovely and the service great. On top of this though it is the whole ethos of the place and their mission to help others that makes it a must go to. Please do leave extra to...

Returned to Pizza Grazias whilst in Blackpool. Fantastic food, lovely people who run it and work there. Always take the time to have a chat with us every time we go there. Would recommend it so give this place a try.

My husband Pino and I did a search for best places to eat and Pizza Grazie scored top!…. now we know why! We both had seafood starters with linguini and wow!…Cooked to absolute perfection by the very talented/friendly chef Chris. We then had pizza and...

Last night we found our way to Pizza Grazie. It’s been a wonderful way to spend a Saturday evening with the most amazing men that are doing something great for their community. Having worked with Fallen Angels Dance Theatre and seen first hand the transformative...

Hidden in the heart of South shore just 1 street back from the promenade is a real jem of an Italian restaurant, it goes by the name of Pizza Graze. I heard via the grapevine that they have started to serve the best Sunday lunch...

The doe is so fresh and cooked perfectly in the pizza oven. Pizzas and garlic bread with cheese are gorgeous. The sauce on the base is even fresh tomato’s. Spaghetti Bol is gorgeous so fresh and the taste of the meat is lovely. Can’t fault...

Visited here with my family and Mum. The concept of this restaurant is humbling. The food was amazing. The service exceptional. Mark is a true gentleman and inspiration. My only complaint is we live in Lincolnshire so cannot visit every week! Please go and support...

We visited Pizza Grazia and were blown away by the concept and food. A registered charity who’s staff work for nothing (other than the chefs) and offer fantastic food. We travel to Italy every year and can say, with hand on heart, that the food...

What a lovely little place for dinner! A bit of a hidden gem off the prom at Blackpool, food was so good and very reasonable and the place was spotless. You can also pay it forward as this place is home to a charity which...

Come on ! 12.50 £ for a pepperoni pizza 9 “ . Charity for whom ? The owner ! . Lovely pizza but not @ this prices

I have been to many restaurants up and down the country, around the world but hand on heart the experience, ethos as well as the food is sublime. Hungry? This the place to go. No second thoughts just try it. The portion sizes are generous...

Was in on the 29/7 with my husband and wee girl they went out their way to make my wee girl macaroni cheese which she absolutley loved We both had a pizza which were one of the best we have tasted Staff were friendly and...

Wow. Superb service and the staff are friendly. We will be back. The family enjoyed themselves.not too bad in terms of the price. Good value for money.

The Meat Feast pizza here is absolutely delicious. Without doubt the best pizza in Blackpool. Will definitely be back to try other toppings or maybe even a Chef’s Special, which there are five to choose from. Which one first though?!

A great dining experience. You may approach this restaurant from the outside and think “do I want to eat here?!” but ignore the outside and go in. An old church / school building and a charity based venue supporting Blackpool homeless but honestly some of...

This is a real jewel in the sand. The food is exceptional. I have tried numerous vegan pizzas/pastas over the years……nothing lands a glove on this place. The staff are friendly and engaging. The cause they stand for is admirable. This is a 5* eatery...

Sorry no pictures as we all demolished our food. We have ordered a few times as a takeaway as locals in Blackpool and it was delicious so decided to go at eat in. This is a charity so you have to bring your own booze...

Pizza was amazing. Staff were brilliant, went above and beyond even when it was busy. Gave us free drinks as we had to wait a bit, & was just absolutely awesome service, could not fault. They deserve all the amazing reviews on here, for sure....
