Pizza Punks Belfast in Belfast

Really quite disappointed & I would say generally we are easily pleased. Thought BYO, good option. They charged 80p per beer & charged for more than we had. The food was £38.95 for 2 courses. We said we only wanted main. Apparently they couldn’t ring that in the till you had to have 2 or 3 courses ( but they couldn’t ring ring in £7 supplement if you wanted steak & the byo charges) So because we had to we had starters. Chicken Caesar salad…. Had 2 bits of chicken less that 1cm in size. The whole salad was not great! Then had beef. Was nice but really quite small with a tiny bit of mash. It was nice but honestly felt ripped off paying 39 quid for the 2 courses. Service was just ok. Defo would not go back

Great food 😋. Service was exceptional 👌. Good location close to Grand Central Station. Will most definitely return for more.

Food was good service was so kind and excellent.

Had a fantastic night for a girls night out! Great spot, highly recommend! Big thank you to Paige for wonderful service 🌟 you were fab!

This was a great experience. Our server Paige was brilliant, so friendly and so responsive. Will definitely be back soon.

Had a great night at pizza punks Belfast for the late night pizza. Both pizza and cocktails were great. Amazing service from Paige, absolute queen.

We had an amazing night, Paige was our waitress and she was amazing, so friendly and attentive she really made us feel so welcome.

Food was good the thing I found wrong was the waiter came to me with the bill as a paying customer let the customer come to pay whenever he/she is ready to pay

I got a steak with vegetables and potatoes. Higher price than other restaurants but the quality is high. Excellent service from the waiters. Advised!

First time there had beautiful meal ,nice and hot , staff were excellent, will definitely return. Loved the idea byo 👍🤩

Went for a family birthday.. amazing service and delicious food will definitely be back again

Hands down one of the best salmon dishes I have ever had! Sam was a hardworking server and the 3 course option was great.

Hope St? More Like Hype Street – Overpromised and Underwhelming!” When my friend and I popped into Hope St for dinner, we hoped for an evening of inspired food and ambience. Instead, we stumbled into what felt like a time warp back to the 1970s, with decor that wouldn’t look out of place in a grainy rerun and background music seemingly lifted from “Classic Rock for Lifts: The Greatest Hits.” With a name like Hope St, they’ve got the gall to lure you in with lofty promises. Sadly, “hype” is all this place has to offer. We kicked off with a squid starter, only to be served a portion so meagre we wondered if the chef expected us to bring a magnifying glass. For a hefty price, the dish was more of a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appetiser—one of those sad little plates that make you wonder if it was a joke. It might’ve been forgivable if the rest of the meal had any semblance of flavour or finesse, but Hope St proved determined to double down on disappointment. The wait for our mains felt like it belonged in the realms of fine dining, but the sad reality was anything but. My friend’s seabass arrived as if in some lukewarm limbo, drenched in a bland pasta sauce that might’ve been alright if it hadn’t been sitting there gathering dust. As for vegetables, they seemed to be on some sort of budget-saving operation, with barely a hint of anything green or fresh to be found. Then came my veggie pasta. What can I say? Pathetic would be putting it mildly. Limp noodles and a half-hearted toss of veg that looked like it had simply given up on life. If you’re after an experience that makes you question your life choices, look no further. My friend, ever the optimist, tried to raise these issues with the staff, who then spoke to the manager. Or so they claimed. Alas, we never saw this elusive manager ourselves, as waiting for them would’ve added another hour to an evening already overstretched. On reflection, the empty tables and lacklustre vibe were all the red flags we needed. In the end, we left feeling short-changed and uninspired. Save yourself the trouble and skip Hope St.

Very disappointing meal. Squid starter was very small and priced at £9. Tiny slivers of squid at more than £1 per piece!!!! Shop bought mayo on the side. Sea bass main was £23 and again very small with a few bits of pepper and courgette in a soupy sauce and no carbohydrate to complete the dish. Fish quite cold. Pasta main was £17 and was in same soupy vegetable sauce as was in fish dish. Chef should be ashamed and owner as well. Trying to create meals at minimal cost and fooling the public if reviews are to be believed. Disgraceful lack of respect for local diners and tourists who deserve better!!!

Wow, what a beautiful place and the staff was so nice. Food was top!

Had an amazing experience here. From the food to the service as well as the atmosphere everything is 5 star deserving. I will definitely be visiting again when we visit Belfast

Really nice atmosphere and delicious food!

Wonderful food and service in an intimate setting.

It is a rare case when you get a lot above expectations and what previous reviews have described. An excellent place for business travellers. Servis is swift and polite. Clean and a variety of choice. Cultural and religion adoption were available. Location is most convenient. Close to city centre and few steps from the popular hotels.

The food was amazing. Delicious wild mushroom rissotto! And pudding dessert! I will absolutely come back! Great service!

My husband and I ate in Hope Street last night and it did not disappoint. The floor staff were very friendly and worked extremely hard as the place was busy. There only appeared to be three staff but they were efficient, constantly on the go and nothing appeared to be too much bother for them. There was a lovely atmosphere with couples, young people, families and single diners all just having a good time. The food was delicious, the goat cheese fritters were the lightest we've ever had along with a complimentary starter that was lovely too and had a little kick.! The main courses were superb, served nice and hot and tasted fresh and flavoursome. We had chicken and seabass. Unfortunately we were so full up we had no room for dessert but the menu had a good choice. There was a small corkage charge for bottles of beer and wine but overall it was good value for money and being able to "bring your own" is an added bonus. We had a very enjoyable meal, compliments to the chef and thanks to the waiting staff for making the whole experience a pleasant one. We would recommend this restaurant and will definitely return. Thank you.!

Lovely last minute find & five minutes from our hotel....great menu with varied choice...we didn't order starters but offered complimentary bread and chilli beef which were delicious...main courses couldn't be faulted..brisket of beef and hake with risotto...would Definitely recommend a visit her...great service and well priced

Went there after work with 2 others and for pre theatre menu. Food was sublime. Pork Confit was the best I've ever tasted. Fishcakes for starters were absolutely delicious. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their plates.Atmosphere was quiet and relaxed, as we were very early on a Wednesday. Soon filled up, however around seven. The finest aspect was the service. Anna served us throughout, and was extremely polite and helpful. Service was excellent, food sublime. Will definitely be back again very soon, and highly recommend 👌

Delicious very fresh food and charming service. There’s a great range of options and very reasonable prices.

An elegant restaurant with excellent service and food. It is a BYO with a small corkage charge. We had a doube beef and a salmon. Both were full of flavour and delicious. We followed with the Eton Mess. Wow. Would definitely return.

Amazing food! Lovely staff- went for a birthday and they were very accommodating in helping us celebrate- 100% recommend :)

We did a walk in the food is amazing 5 star food Owner engaged what’s going on fantastic you will not be disappointed

Went to get a takeaway lunch with my husband who is a coeliac (gluten free) no issues when ordering as they have gluten free bases for an additional £2 and change the pizzas to accommodate. However when he was half way through it he found some macaroni pasta in the box and has since been unwell ruining the end of a good holiday. The service was quick and the accommodated for myself who is dairy free. Pizza was average, was shy on toppings. Shame they couldn’t managed cross contamination for a coeliac

I don’t know what people Are smoking in Belfast…but I want some!! You have to be high and have some serious munchies to come here. I went here because it had decent review with over 550 people, but honestly the food was not good, the atmosphere was old and dated, not in a pub style way (which would be ok). The wait staff was average at best. I had put in a google search for best sticky toffee pudding since it was my last day in Ireland and it was the only dish I didn’t try on this trip . This came up as an excellent place and was by my hotel. Truthfully I wouldn’t feed it to my Dog (if I had a dog). This coming from a guy who can eat at McDonald’s or a high end restaurant and enjoys most the food. Google needs to do better in qualifying these places as I feel robbed of my money.

I'm an easy customer, but the service in Pizza Punks was shockingly bad. We were led to a table with little or no warmth or interaction, handed menus and left to our table. We waited 10-12mins or or more while waitresses walked by with no eye contact, spraying nearby tables half heartedly, until eventually I had to walk to a girl rubbing cutlery to ask if someone might take an order. While giving orders we were told that some ingredients were unavailable, as were the Mocktails... fine. I'll have red wine (one choice only.. Merlot) OK.. to be told another 10 mins later than in fact there's not red wine at all... Really?? in a pizza restaurant. Pizzas ordered and ready on the bench waiting for anyone to pass and decide to deliver to the hungry slightly fed up patrons. Pizza was admittedly tasty but service badly let this restaurant down. For the first time in years, I didn't leave any additional tip to the "discretionary 10%" We won't be returning.

The staff was very friendly and extremely attentive. the food was delicious and nicely prepared. However, the music was too loud and some guests were probably even louder because of that.

Friendly, happy atmosphere. Very attentive service. Flavourful seafood risotto - thought I might not manage it all, but soooo good, I found that yes! I could. H had beef brisket that was tender and delicious. We had no room for puddings but having read other reviews, I wish we had. Thank you Hope Street Restaurant.

Lovely food and pleasant staff .daube of beef and chilli beef starter was fantastic followed by an amazing sticky toffee pud

This was honest-to-godless one of the best pizzas I've had in my entire life (and I'm over 40 and come from an area of the US known for its vast culinary options, so that's really saying something!). I got the salted chili chicken pizza. Others at my table got different offerings and everyone was quite happy with their food, both vegan and non-vegan. Some interesting beers too. It was kind of loud in there, but that's to be expected.

A really excellent restaurant. The food was delicious. I had the calamari, the hake and the Eton Mess, all of which I highly recommend. I did pay more than £40 for one person, but I think the quality of the food made it worth it.

We went to pizza punks for dinner, what can I say about it. Well it was noisy, they served pizza and cocktails ! Yes, cocktails how very Punk! I had a "Ruby Murray" which actually was very good, if not weird!

Called in as we were peckish but not starving. Got a pizza between us & a side salad. Once I tasted it I wish I had been starving as it was one of the best pizzas I've tasted in years. Crispy beautiful base & very tasty top. Even the side salad was exceptional. Hadn't tried pizza punks before this but certainly would again.

Very good quality cuisine. Pleasant service. Very good value for money THANKS

Outstanding all around!!! It's a BYO. So make sure you have your wine with you....

The food was wonderful. The dessert was great. Don't order the Irish coffee though. We have had a dozen across Ireland and this is by far the most American Irish coffee ever. Not good!

We had the Belly Pork Confit one of our best meals ever. Great service. Not to be missed

My friend and I came to Belfast for a 3 day break. Our last evening 29th August we decided to try Hope Street Restaurant which is a hidden GEM. We had not booked but we were able to get a table. It is bring your own drink which we hadn't.The young lady offered to go to the shop to purchase the wine for us. I thanked her and went myself. My friend and I ordered starters and main. My friend chose fish cakes and belly pork which she said was the best meal she had whilst on her visit. I went for Thai chilly beef which was so tender and plenty. My main was prawn linguine with chilli cream sauce. We decided to share Eton mess even though we were stuffed. Thank you to all the staff waiting and chefs for their incredible service given. We will certainly be back and will tell our friends about you.

We visited on 22nd August and chose the restaurant based on the reviews. We had an exceptional meal and first class service. Our main course was delayed due to an equipment issue in the kitchen but we were kept informed. We didn't mind as we weren't in a hurry and when the belly pork arrived it was delicious and well worth the wait. The goat's cheese fritters are highly recommended too. At the end of the meal, we were given a dessert without charge as well as not charging us for our drinks,both of which were unnecessary, but a sign of excellent customer care. We had a lovely evening and will be sure to visit again.

We came here on a Wednesday evening for the pre-theatre menu and it exceeded our expectations! The waiting staff were friendly and attentive, super quick service. My mum ordered the pasta but didn’t realise it had cream in it which she can’t have, the waiting staff were apologetic even though it was not their fault and quickly ensured we got a replacement meal quickly. The chef also sent us out an extra dessert for free due to the mix up. Top service, amazing food and amazing value/prices. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Belfast!

What a fabulous restaurant. We visited on a busy Sunday night and we were so impressed from the moment we arrived. The service from Shailesh and one other server was exceptional 👌 We ordered pork belly and sirloin steak for our mains and it was out of this world! Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and we would 100% return! Thanks so much for a fantastic meal and night and we will see you all again soon. Thanks to all staff involved aswell as the amazing head chef Danish! 🥰

We, as a group of five, stumbled upon the review on Google and decided to try. Lady who hosted us was extremely nice and helpful. Even exquisite food didn’t surpass her hospitality. The different meals were simply fantastic and really really tasty. It’s interesting that alcoholic drinks aren’t served in the restaurant. But you can bring your own and staff will serve it for you with your meal In a nutshell, it’s the place where you would get the great food in a fantastic another My recommendations are slow cooked brisket and daube of beef. Piece of art

Both the appetizer and main were delicious. It seemed like a place famous for food. There was no service charge and I was satisfied with the price as it was 34 pounds for the appetizer, main and coffee.

The food was gorgeous, the staff were lovely and they even gave us some dessert on the house! We had a really enjoyable stay. I'd recommend the Thai chilli beef as a starter, really flavourful and I haven't had anything like it. Thanks for a beautiful evening!

Excellent food and very friendly service. There is only a small selection of non-alcoholic drinks. You should bring your own drinks, which seems to be common practice in some restaurants in Belfast. But this wasn't a problem. You can buy these in Tesco Market not far away. We can recommend the restaurant without reservation! Thanks for the great evening!!!

I recently dined at Hope’s - The menu boasts of premium European dishes which were well crafted. Whether you’re a foodie or simply seeking a memorable dining experience, Hope’s won’t disappoint. The attentive service by Ashiya, the cozy warm setting, and mouthwatering flavors make it a must-visit.

Went for the pre dinner menu before a show, and it was very fairly priced and the food and service were great, I would definitely come back here again, you should give this place a try! I asked for my steak medium rare and it actually came out medium rare, a rare occurrence in Belfast these days, it was great!

Very nice place, excellent quality food, very friendly staff. The raw materials are of high quality and the service is attentive and courteous. Very clean place. Highly recommended!

Great service, awesome food. very nice atmosphere. they don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own for which they charge a small opening fee. That's a big savings there.

Great food, very good portion size and absolute value for money. Also incredibly friendly service, Anna is the sweetest. Will definitely eat here again

Excellent menu and the food was plentiful, well presented and greater taste Pleasant atmosphere and great staff

One of the best food and service in Belfast. I was with my family and had a fabulous experience at the restaurant.

We came to Hope Street for their pre theatre menu and it was amazing! 2 courses very reasonably priced and plenty of options including vegetarian. The mushroom risotto was unbelievable and would highly recommend it! The staff, in particular our waitress Anna, were very attentive and friendly, making the experience wonderful! We will definitely be back. The only thing i would comment is that £5.50 for corkage seems a bit steep, especially if you’re bringing a couple of bottles :)

Our last night in Ireland. In search for Sticky Toffee, a dessert popular in Europe, Hope Street in Belfast came through. I had the tomato soup which was particularly flavorful and very rich. I really like the taste of strong soups. Paired with a crisp, well-balanced salad, it made for a perfect combination of light yet satisfying dishes. This sticky toffee is something. It’s like a brownie stuffed with caramel but it’s not caramel, it’s something else, maybe a date mixture? I don’t know and I don’t care. It was scrumptious. The freshness of the ingredients stood out here like everywhere in Europe. This is a solid spot to eat in Belfast.

Found this place out by chance and circumstance. The food was spectacular and was just so tasty. Recommend the thai chilli beef, goats cheese balls, soup and pork belly. Also really appreciated the attentive service and for squeezing us in when we hadn't booked. Atmosphere was tremendous and was great value.

The place is probably good, and the quality of the food is good, but we never got the good feeling here

We found this restaurant while looking for halal option, which unfortunately in Belfast, aren't too many. My husband and I enjoyed our time so much here! The owner told us that they do certain halal dishes that includes beef and chicken options! We opted for the pre theater menu and chose chili beef and fish cakes as starters and the restaurant gave us free goat cheese fritters! The chili beef was so delicious and the rest was good too. For mains, we got sirloin steak and butterfly chicken. Both dishes were heavenly! Steak was medium rare like I ordered. So many places get that wrong for whatever reason. And for dessert, we ordered sticky toffee pudding and apply crumble. The apple crumble was nice but the pudding stole the show! Can't recommend this place enough. The restaurant is small but not too small and cozy and the ambience is romantic. Perfect for a date :)

Very cozy place and totally recommended. Delicious food and very attentive staff. They warned us that the food would take a while to be prepared (in the end it was no more than half an hour) and they treated us to a starter while we waited. As if that were not enough, they invited us to a dessert at the end. We will definitely return!

Excellent food and great service!

Beautiful restaurant, with lovely staff, even gave us a complimentary additional starter, which was delicious. Would highly recommend. It is BYO for alcohol however so be aware of this if wanting an alcoholic drink with your dinner, but they do provide corkage and glassware.

Delicious food and excellent service!

We had the pre theatre dinner on Saturday evening and enjoyed gorgeous food, wonderful service and the best atmosphere. This was our first visit and will definitely not be our last, thoroughly recommend Hope Street.

We had the most beautiful meal in Hope Street Restaurant....the food the ambience and all of the staff were first class....it is a must do if you are in Belfast. Well done.

Great food, great staff and a lovely atmosphere.

Freshly prepared food was amazing. Great service. Food was just the right temperature piping hot main dishes. Dessert were out of world.

Had dinner here while on a Belfast trip and can't recommend it enough! The food was divine, and the staff very attentive and friendly. We received 2 complimentary dishes, while waiting for the food (I noticed they offered to every table), tap water bottles were constantly replaced on the table. We had different mains (pork belly confit, tomato soup, mushroom risotto, chicken supreme, beef brisket) and everyone enjoyed their foods. Finished off with sticky toffee pudding (delicious) and eton mess (could have done with a tiny bit more chantilly, but otherwise perfect). And sides and drinks. The whole meal costed us around 30 pounds per person. 100% go there for dinner, we were lucky to get a table for a group this size, they were quite full overall, so maybe book.

When there are more guests, the kitchen exhaust fan is not powerful enough, and the room is full of smoke, so all I want to do is finish eating and go out.

Fabulous meal from start to finish! Friendly service and delicious food. Priced fairly as well. Would recommend reservations.

What a gem of a restaurant. Really quality food, fantastic presentation and amazing flavours. We had the Thai Beef to start and was given a complimentary taster of the fish cakes. The portion size was larger than expected. For mains we had Daube of Beef and the Sea Bass with a side of Champ. Big mistake ordering the side because its was hardly touched. The restaurant is BYO with a very reasonable corkage charge. Overall I can’t recommend the restaurant enough. We’re only on Belfast 3 nights and we’re eating here for 2 of them.

Will be back.Does that sum it up.

I went there with my husband and received one of the best service ever. Perfect service with excellent food. You can feel the dedication they put in their food and service. I loved the food so much definitely going there again. Highly recommended 👍👍👍💯💯💯

You can’t miss visiting this restaurant if you are in Belfast. They have amazing starters like mutton cheese balls with salad with absolutely amazing mains and desserts. All crafted fresh in the restaurant itself by the professionals.

Awesome food, starters are genuinely decent. Start of the show is their Sirloin steak. So tender

Me and my family went here for our Dad’s 60th birthday. The food was excellent. The starters were all very tasty. As mains, the pork belly and salmon were definitely a top pick. If I was to return I’d love to try the beef as the beef starter was delicious. The service was amazing. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Would definitely recommend.

This place was wonderful. Service was absolutely amazing and the staff were super friendly. The food was incredible and some of the best I’ve had in a long time. I would highly recommend. They gave us an appetizer and dessert on the house. Absolutely amazing. Hands down the best brownie I’ve ever had in my life.

What a fantastic restaurant!!!! Food was incredible, service so personal too. Bring your own booze but they had a little soft drink menu. Would highly recommend

Visited directly after opening at 5pm on a Saturday evening and had the pre-theatre deal. The menu is conservative but all the dishes were very well cooked and the staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was full very quicly and had a real buzz.

This was a last minute Tuesday night booking and we only just got in so book early! Lovely welcome and swift service. We given a complimentary munchy thing which was amazing. Husband had brisket and champ which he ate with a relish and really enjoyed. Nephew had the steak which he devoured in double quick time. I had the green thai curry and was warned it was spicy, I like spicy but whilst it was pleasant and good quality, I wasn't bowled over. We would all go again as it has everything, atmosphere, good food and service.

A very good restaurant,one of the best foubd in belfast in these days. Good Also for my child. For italian tourists... is not possible order wine or beer,but you can bring your own alchool

I have lived in the UK for seven months and this is the most delicious food I have ever eaten. My friend was presented with a simple and delicious starter and I ordered the soup of the day, which was tomato soup that day and was delicious. For main courses, we had green curry and sea bass, each of which was delicious. The setting of the restaurant is very romantic and the music taste is very good. I wish I could live in Belfast and eat here every day🥺💕

Delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻

Delicious meal! We thought the servings might be small on the fixed price 2 and 3 course pre theater menus - but they aren’t! Unfortunately most of us couldn’t finish our delicious meals because we were stuffed! Wonderful food, service, atmosphere, everything! Just be sure to come with a big appetite and bring your own bottle of wine if you want that as they are BYOB.

So glad I booked this restaurant for my husbands birthday during our short trip to belfast. The food was beautiful, the best meal we've had in a long time. I had the chicken supreme, and my husband had the steak (which was cooked to perfection). Lovely desserts too. The restaurant is a BYO and we paid £5.50 for corkage for a bottle of wine. Friendly service, would highly recommend you won't be disappointed!

We were a large table (over 12 people) and everyone's meals were perfect. The food was amazing, can't wait to go back

The staff and the meal were superb in the restaurant.The 3 course evening meal was well presented and cooked to perfection. The service was fantastic. Would highly recommend for eating out in Belfast.

Good food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommended to spend a good time!

We ate here as a family of 5. We picked this restaurant because of the reviews on line, and it did not disappoint. The food was exceptional. The the atmosphere is cozy, and staff are very friendly and welcoming. A hidden gem in Belfast. My only complaint is that our stay in Belfast isn’t longer. We would’ve been back again to try more dishes on the menu.

So pleased we listened to the reviews of this lovely restaurant. The staff, food, all amazing, from the goats cheese fritters to the chilli squid , from the fab seafood risotto to the salmon, and the veggie Thai curry, all delicious.....ate as a family of four grown ups. Desserts too , only positive comments . Staff very kind and very efficient. Had a wonderful chat with Ashi, the manager, after service, great to exchange views and to compliment the chef too. BYOB a plus, but not the reason to book here , book for the food! Would definitely recommend this lovely restaurant if you are in the area. Rick Stein has eaten here. Thank you Ashi and team!

Absolutely delicious food. Great staff, service and relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Excellent food and service. The staff were extremely helpfull. I will definitely be back.

Hope Street restaurant is a hidden gem in Belfast. We have been going there regularly for several years, not just because it is BYO but also because there is an excellent choice on the menu, the food is superb and there is a great atmosphere there. The husband and wife who run it work very hard and are always so friendly. We have had large groups of friends and families there for birthdays and a graduation and we had great nights there So it is a restaurant we will continue to go to. We highly recommend it.

Five of us went for a Mothers day meal The food was delicious,no complaints at all , we had the pre theatre menu ,lots of choice, we brought our own wine. The waiter was really friendly. We will definitely book with this lovely restaurant again Thank you 😋

Had a great experience at Hope Street Restaurant for Mother's Day. Ordered the Thai Beef starter and 10oz Steak main and they were cooked perfectly and the taste was outstanding.

Disappointing. The pizza was almost cold by the time it arrived. The toilets were filthy, that's always a bad sign. The waitress stood at the opposite end of the table when she was taking my order and had to ask about 3 times what it was...

Great quirky pizza place, and the food is amazing! Salt and Chilli chicken pizza especially. We got the deal that’s on Thursday and it was very reasonable

Great place. Staff friendly and food fantastic. 1st time I had been. I would advise booking as very busy. Its BYO drink as well. Great choice on menu. Will definitely be back.
