Square - Slices & Pies in Newcastle upon Tyne

Absolutely heavenly thick slices drenched in fantastic toppings. Seriously good comfort food - highly recommended!

Popped in here after a few beers in town. What a great choice. The best snack pizza and fries I've had in ages. Really hit the spot. All the lads enjoyed a slice or two. Detroit style pizza is the future! Will definitely be back next time I'm in Newcastle. Bada bing was the dogs, with truffle and parmesan fries. Nom nom !!

was amazing food and i’ll continue to come back again and again

Not worth the hype. Basically fancy Bruschetta passing itself off as Pizza. Ordered two slices and what minimal cheese there was ended up burnt round the edges, not nice when you wait 15 minutes for it to be “fresh” . All the toppings were too overpowering, ended up leaving most of it.

First time visiting here and it won’t be the last! The food was amazing and the options were great! Friendly staff and a nice chilled atmosphere!

The food was delicious. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Amazing pizza and amazing staff. We were going to take a picture of the whole pizza but it was too damn good. Also not as overpriced as you’d imagine, very reasonable for a group.

Food is actually very good but I'm not sure it's very healthy. Price is ok. I like the idea and vibe. Carry on with the good work guys.

Rwllay enjoyed our food here. Lunchtime special was great value

I wasn’t expecting much when I tried this because I usually don’t like this style of pizza but wow was I surprised!! It’s so thick but so soft and all the different flavours are amazing, the sauce on the pep talk is just out of this world. If you love this style of pizza you will not be disappointed.

The only place in Newcastle that serves Detroit style pizza. I can’t attest to the authenticity but it’s great food and a nice location.

Phenomenal food, amazing service, and dog friendly! Dog was treated just as well as us

It was our first time at square and we were not disappointed at all! The staff were so accommodating and friendly, big up to the server helping us out today - also the food was absolutely amazing! Waffle fries and the pizza all freshly cooked and so crispy, could not have asked for anything more. Will be back!

Went for restaurant week the deals were better on house was quiet when we got there had a wait for the vegan option but all in all good

On the way to the museum we went in to eat something, the place is small with some places to eat at the counter. We ordered a pizza and some bread with cheese and garlic. They were delicious and the price was acceptable.

My girlfriend and I were out for a date night dinner. We thought we’d try some authentic Chicago style pizza (where the cheese is under the sauce). We were greeted by the most friendly staff you could ask for! They were so helpful with allergies and anything we asked! Alas! Our pizza came, but it was evidently pre cooked and heated up for service. The hot honey and ranch dipping sauce was amazing. However the pizzas were a slight let down, compared to social media advertising. The sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection. The waffle truffle fries however, lacked in some flavour. Overall, we had a positive experience, although the food was presented well, flavours weren’t so prominent.

Probably the best pizza I have ever had, we had a selection of 4 different slices, along with the truffle and Parmesan waffle fries and they were all equally great but I would say the Clancy wiggum was my favourite. Staff were extremely friendly and were really helpful which made for a great experience.

The slices were great and our favourite was the bada bing. Never tried Detroit style pizza before so not sure how authentic it is- the pizza's base was similar to that of a focaccia. We went towards the end of the day so the slices were reheated, perhaps fresher ones would have been a lot better or if you go when there's no fresh pies being made perhaps ordering a full pie will be better? The slices were saucy enough so did not really need any additional sauce, the marinara sauce they came with was an amazing combo. We got the candied jalapeno mayo and it was more candy than jalapeno. I think more sour/spicy sauces on the menu cut through the richness of the pizza and complement the slices better. Think it's a great and convenient lunch spot!

Service 10/10 so friendly! Food was amazing and really good portion sizes, with delicious toppings Super reasonably priced for what we got! Can’t wait to try different options :)

Fantastic pizza and lovely staff

Every time I go, I'm pleased that I did. Great red top square pizza with seasoned waffle fries

Amazing pizza, definitely recommend. I got the red top and my partner got the bada bing and we shared the garlic bread. They were all unreal, and the garlic sauce is to die for too. They were cooked fresh and were a reasonable price for the quality. Service was good and the inside is small but nice and modern. We went at 12:30 on a Thursday and it was pretty quiet so we managed to get a seat.

Really nice original pizzas, great variety of options and ingredients. The restaurant is located in city centre next to other pubs, restaurants and shops. The staff is very professional. 100% recommended

The vegan pizza "Lulu the cow" was just heavenly 😍 I can't wait to try more!

Great Detroit style pizzas. The flavours are amazing, and some of the best pizzas I've had for a long time. Staff were friendly and welcoming. It's worth noting that this is a small place with limited oven space, so good things come to those who wait. Also, seating is stools around the edge of the small but busy counter. Don't let this put you off, though, as the food is top-notch.

Amazing pizza, tasted absolutely incredible and one of the best things I've ever tasted. Shared a whole one between two adults and two children with some sides. Worked out great value. Would definitely come again.

Great tasting Detroit-style pizza. Delicious and generously topped pies with crispy, caramelised, cheesy edges. We tried the Bada Bing which was great if you like some chilli heat and the Clancy Wiggum, both really flavourful. I would certainly recommend a visit

Ordering online was easy, though I wish there were more options. When I arrived, unfortunately there was a technical error which prevented the restauranteur receiving the order, so unfortunately I had to wait 10 minutes to receive my order. However, they offered a free drink and prompt service to make up for it. The pizza had a good coating of spices and garlic, and meaty pepperoni, with the ricotta cheese being an interesting touch. The bread had a crispy base with a soft middle. The red sauce is a little too thick for my liking and I would like more mozzarella for more stringy cheese.

Best pizza of my life. Honestly will be chasing the high of this forever. It’s made it to my off menu lineup.

So good i had to take bite before taking a picture 😂 Premier League this place

This is legit the best pizza we have had in a long time. The crunch of the crust, the quality of the toppings… incredible. So incredibly filling and a must-try for anyone who is curious about Detroit-style pizza.

Visited for lunch the day after the bank holiday weekend. Opened for me and my wife despite having limited food left on the menu. Pizza was amazing, only place I’ve eaten that tastes like proper USA pizza pie. Ingredients were so fresh and tasty. Will definitely be back.

First time trying this establishment. Staff were lovely and really helpful, with plenty of menus so you can take your time and ponder without feeling pressured. There is an awesome selection of food and drink available. The I terror is lovely and it is in a prime location, would highly recommend to anyone to give it ago.

First time trying Square and it didn’t disappoint. Me and my mate opted to share a half and half pie and it was one of the tastiest things i’ve ate. You get 3 slices each on the sharer pies which is more than enough as the slices are really filling. The food did take a little while to come out but it was busy to be fair to them. I will agree with a previous review and say although it’s a cool little place, it’s not the comfiest place to sit and eat so i’d probably take out next time.

If I had to choose my last meal on earth it would be the veg-a-squarian full pie, never tasted anything like it, definitely the best pizza I’ve ever had and some of the best food I’ve ever had🤍

Best pizza I’ve ever had by far. The food was literally amazing and service was fab. If you’ve never tried it you NEED to go! Thank you to Toby and Amy the chef who looked after us. 10/10 - we’ll be back!

Best deep dish pizza in town, I had a vegan slice and seriously couldn’t tell it was vegan! Amazing, fries were 10/10

I visited here for dining in yesterday and the food was absolutely incredible. The pizza was fantastic and such good value for money. I would 100% return but not to dine in as it's too uncomfortable. I did not like the seating arrangements. The stools are very uncomfortable and there isn't much space to sit. However, staff were super friendly despite how busy it was and there were constant takeaways and delivery drivers.

Absolutely fantastic pizza place. The food was excellent and the staff really friendly. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Absolutely incredible. Had the pesto monthly special and it was so delicious. Especially the hot honey. Fries were decent, but like not really the main attraction for me. Pizza was so filling didn't really need them but still nice.

The food here was phenomenal, we had the chicky chicky parm parm pizza, pep talk and the garlic slices. we also tried their cookie which tasted beautiful. The staff members who served us was lovely and he was very friendly and explained everything to us. the only problem we had was with the cleanliness. we were the first to arrive before opening so i suspect the place wasn’t cleaned properly before hand, i have included some photos of the bathroom and the table.

Visited during restaurant week in January with my partner and thoroughly enjoyed our pizza. We both generally prefer a thin crust pizza, but Square pizzas are on a whole different level for deep dish! The dough is thick but light, toppings are flavoursome and the crispy cheese around the edges, for me, is the best part. Perfect for dunking in the excellent selection of dips. The staff were super friendly and while the food took about 25 mins or so to arrive, it was worth the wait. Will be going back!

Fully recommend - staff extremely friendly and pizza is lush. Pep Talk + Hot Honey sauce = winner.

Exceptional Detroit style pizza. Flavoursome and filling. Brilliant value on the restaurant week deal, nice staff and a great atmosphere despite uncomfortable bar stool style seating

Very good. Grew up in Detroit, best pizza I've had since moving here.

Incredible tasty pizza, adult type food, bold flavours, Detroit wins

One of the most yummy and delicious deep pizza I ever had! Totally recommend if you are around Newcastle 🍕

Saw this on the Robbie Knox vlog, and it was worth the trip. Incredible pizza and really friendly staff, who made good recommendations for the day.

The first time I tried this delicious and square pizza was in pizza battle and I remembered my picky son’s reaction was incredible since that day we got it many times form the shop super yummy and the stuff are friendly Highly recommend 👍🏻

The best pizza in the North East.

Best pizza in Newcastle hands down, great prices too. A single pizza plus chils fed me, my wife and two kids.

The pizza is delicious, but there are not many halal options But the options for vegetarians are nice

Excellent venue serving THE BEST deep dish pizzas, either by the slice or the whole pie. The dough is beautifully light, yet filling and the toppings on the 'Pep Talk' compliment each other perfectly! Try the Ranch dressing too, perfect for dipping that amazing cheesy crust in. One slice is perfect for you, lunch or pre theatre or drinks, a full pie (as the menu states) will easily be enough for 3-4 hungry folks. Excellent quality ingredients, great service and the pizzas are amazing, the prices are excellent too, I've taken a photo of the menu. 10/10.

always SOOOOO tasty!! one of my favourites ever,, if anyone was to ever ask me for food recommendations in ncl square would always be one of the top ones i’d mention. the people are really really nice too!!🥰🥰🥰 a biiiiiig fan<33

Possibly the best pizza I have ever eaten, portions are huge and very reasonably priced for the quality. This is now my go to pizza, can’t wait for the next one!

Popped in yesterday, we had pizza, dip, drink & lattis chips all for £8 each. Absolutely delicious, thick pizza, fresh ingredients, very substantial meal, we were very happy, staff were lovely too and very attentive . Will definitely be back & have already told friends.

Whilst herbally refreshed and very hungry, ordering takeaway food in the digital age can very easily be exciting , confusing, frustrating and incredibly rewarding all at the same time, and so it proved on this fateful Saturday. After delegating one of our number to 'just choose something, anything' we settled on the delights of FEDs chicken emporium. The promise of tea brined fried chicken in a bun with a hash brown and american cheese proved too much temptation to resist. Two of our group made their choice pretty quickly and we passed the digital chicken portal along to the third and least decisive. A debate ensued regarding the volume and variety of side dishes required with our order which was eventually resolved by proceeding with the highest estimate of consumption. On confirming our order with the digital chicken portal, disaster struck. In our zeal to perfect and finesse our order, we had missed the deadline for ordering and the kitchen was closed! A wailing and a gnashing of teeth ensued. Apologies and commiserations were exchanged. Heads were shaken in disbelief. We gathered our wits and forged on with our mission. We would not be denied. The digital chicken portal was redeployed and repurposed, and on our next roll of the dice we alighted on the delivery menu for Square. A consensus was reached. a whole pizza, half and half with some waffle fries, and enough dips to banish the sad memories of the fried chicken that never was. We placed our order. Sucess! Our groaning bellies would soon be filled. After a period of anxious waiting with several checks to ensure that our order had been successful and would soon arrive, we were rewarded by the sound of the doorbell. We laid the table for dinner and began our meal. On first glance, we were confused. Had we accidentally been delivered some piece of conceptual art in a well designed cardboard box? Had the Baltic started to dispatch prints from its shop on Deliveroo? If this was indeed the promised pizza, it was a far cry from the kebab meat and pepperoni offerings of our younger days. The base was completely invisible beneath the mountains of vibrant and plentiful toppings. Roses of an ethereal white substance blossomed in regular patterns on the surface, each lovingly spinkled with a lusty red coating of chilli flakes. A delicate chiffonade of herbs brought natural colour, balance and an impression of some nutritional value. At this point it would have been easy to become lost in blissful reverie, but the imperative that had carried us this far overrode all of our other instincts and we fell into a silence only punctuated by crunching noises and the occasional groan of delight. When future generations look back on this time and perhaps wonder what we were doing, whether any of us were aware of the looming crisis or indeed prepared to take action, to fight for a better future for our children or our children's children the answer will be plain. No, but some of them made great strides in serving delicious takeaway pizza, and some of them wasted their time and energy writing lengthy google reviews about it.

Great costumer service and amazing pizza Detroit!!!

Incredible Detroit pizza, cannot recommend this place enough

Pretty tasty pizza. Bit pricey but it's good.

Amazing pizza, our fave in Newcastle!

Pizza was cooked tremendously. Probably would have given it a 5 star but I chose the wrong pizza because it had BBQ sauce on.. My fault

Excellent Detroit style pizza in the United Kingdom

Really tasty pizza selections. I'm a pretty big eater and not a pizza lover by any means. But decent amount of choice and the thickness of the pizzas mean I would stick to 2 slices at most. The pizzas were really nice, I got two slices waffle fries and a scotch bonnet sauce. The pizza options didn't have a spicy selection so if your more a spice person like me I'd get the scotch bonnet sauce. Service was quick and easy to do so no complaints. Overall if you like pizza I'd say give it a try with a few different selections.

The pizza is beautiful, but the experience was spoilt by the moody waitress who served us, very rude and unwelcoming. Such a shame as we visit here often as the food is great, however the attitude we have just been served would make it very hard to return!

Amazing pizza....the Mexican special they do is one of humanity's greatest cultural achievements.

One of the best pizza places I've been to!!!

Hands down, THE best pizza I've ever had! Absolutely delicious. My favourite is the red top. Great customer service too. Love this place.

Delicious pizza slices, so much flavour and the dough is perfect!

Fancy looking place delicious Detroit pizza and fries the cheese is alright don't like the cream things on top the fries are great service is incredible.

Visited on 22 May at 7pm. It’s a small pizza place with not a lot of seating. The only seating inside were bar tables but they had regular tables outside. Wasn’t a problem for me. Ordered a half & half pizza of Bada Bing and Lola’s Classic. Both flavours were not bad but I do like Lola’s Classic more. It’s a take on a cheeseburger flavour pizza which just works! Bada Bing was pepperoni and sausage with whipped ricotta. I did enjoy the texture of the pizza initially as it was crunchy like a focaccia. But as the pizza started to get to room temp, it became much harder to chew and it really gave my jaw a workout. I didn’t really care for the cheese crust as well because I found it hard to eat as it would scrape the roof of my mouth. Overall, I would say the flavours are decent but wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice for pizza in the Toon.

The best pizza I've ever had? Maybe. Really nice little place, all of the staff were incredibly friendly and clearly care about what they do. Good vibes. Waffle fries were great too.

Living with a very picky pizza person, there are few places that achieve acceptance. Square is actively loved. Best pizza we've had in the city so far. But, definitely geared for take out. You can eat in, but it's better to go home.

Best pizza in Newcastle. This place is a real gem, the menu has a great selection of ridiculously tasty pizzas. Not much to say except that it is a must have if you're in the area.

I’m somewhat of a regular customer. But not for long, sorry. So the first time I ordered I loved it. I would go around saying it was really good. However progressively the quality has gotten worse. For pizza, it is expensive at £4-5 a slice compared to nearby places that charge much less and £24-£27.50 a pie. For the price you would expect the toppings to be a lot less sparse! The second last time I went, the pizza was almost sickly because it just tasted like sauce. Furthermore, the manager charged me extra for no reason. Unfortunately, I didn’t realise until I got home but I do have the receipt alongside my bank statement to prove it. I’m just a student and this was a treat to my brother, who didn’t even like it because of the quality, so to be charged almost £30 for that pizza felt like a betrayal. It’s also awkward because the manger seemed to be flirting very loudly with one of the staff members and neither were very friendly or attentive. I went for what I believe will be final time for the special they have, which is birria. As a British Mexican, I was excited, but honestly the depth of flavour was awful. Obviously I wasn’t expecting anything authentic but it could have at least had enough salt and made the caldo tasty and not taste like kebab shop chilli sauce. I hope they make changes and I might be back again, but for now I’ll stick to other places.

There's three places I've found in the UK that do the authentic Detroit style pizza; here, a place in London and a pub in York. Well, turns out this one's the best, the pizza is *amazing*. Was only on a flying visit to Newcastle, I'd probaby eat myself into an early grave if I lived anywhere near this place. If I'm ever up in the area again, this'll be my go-to for grub.

We ordered a shared pizza, perfect for date night. Generous portions to say the least (1 whole pizza might have fed 3-4), fab toppings, and great decor/vibe/location. The only slight downs we’re a looong wait for food (approx 45 mins) due to takeout deliveries, and a limited selection of drinks (all the beers seem to be super tart IPAs and the draught was off). Otherwise fantastic and would highly recommend, especially if you’re sick of the now ubiquitous thin sourdough style pizza.

Lovely pizza, the sauce and base were very flavourful! Only downside is that the indoor seating isn't baby friendly (there's only barstool seating) we had to sit outside which was a little chilly.

Fantastic pizza! Didn’t know what Detroit style pizza was but we will definitely be back! We were hungry so got 2 slices each and waffle fries and garlic bread strips which we couldn’t finish but everything was so tasty. The chewy base combined with the crispy bits from the edge of the pan and the toppings were yummy. Will definitely be back.

one of my favourite places to eat in town. the mid week deal is amazing value and i like the lola jean collaborations too.

Lovely staff and delicious food :) Keep up the good work

Selected slices from the display cabinet but still had to wait 40mins for them to arrive. We were told they had to be remade so other orders (seemingly Deliveroo) were prioritised ahead of ours. Needs better extraction too, not pleasant sitting amongst the smoky cooking smells.

Such poor service. Walked in, ordered 3 pizzas which were literally there in on the cabinet and waited half an hour only to be told they had to be cooked again. Really disappointed Have a feeling they gave them all to online orders before us

Pizza is amazing. Have tried the Clancy wiggum and the Lola’s classic. Garlic mayo is stunning too!

First time in and won’t be the last!! Walked in and felt instantly at ease as the two young ladies serving behind the counter had a great smile on their faces and welcoming demeanour. Being vegan it’s still difficult to find food to eat on the go but thankfully not an issue here! Great menu and easy to order. Food is amazing. Red top slice with waffle fries just to die for!! Will be back for the great food but also the great customer service.

Visited Newcastle for three nights. Ended up eating here twice. Outstanding (Detroit styled ) pizza with a great selection of toppings . Restaurant itself had a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. The staff were both friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back next time.

Great pizza. Bit different to you usual pizza but it's really nice and worth a try if you want something new. Waffle fries are good too and the garlic aioli is a great dipping sauce. Recommend this place very highly, only complaint is that the food can take a little long to come out.

Below was the initial review I left a few months back. Had square a few times since and found it's really improved. Would reccommend!! (Really nice to see interesting choices of vegan toppings. Had square twice now and although I've enjoyed it I have found that the topping has been very acidic to the point its a bit difficult to eat getting to the end of the first slice. I would've given 5 stars otherwise because if it wasn't for that it would be soooo good.)

The vegan pizza is the best I've ever had, good value for money too

Restaurant week. Select menu with meat, veggie and vegan options. Offer 2 slices, crust buddies and waffle fries for £15. Attentive service in a lovely venue.

My go-to place for a lunchtime slice

Nice place; nice people; good location. Love the concept. Detroit-style been very popular in Manchester so very much looked forward to trying it in NCL. On the plus side the truffle parmesan waffle fries are excellent. Great 'Detroit' style pop songs in the background. Sadly the pizza itself was a real disappointment. Firstly it took ages & ages for our order to arrive despite the restaurant being more than half-empty. Slices were on the cold side but too ravenous to complain by that point. Just really a surprising lack of flavour on both of the 2 different slices I tried. Seems others are having a much better experience so maybe we just got unlucky. Or maybe you're better off trying to order a fresh pie instead of slices.

We got the vegan red top, pep talk, and the regular red top. As sides, we got truffle waffle fries and the garlic slices. All the pizza slices were fluffy in the middle and crunchy on the outside. There was ample cheese, and in the vegan red top, there was a rich bechamel-esque sauce. The slices were moist thanks to a good portion of sauce. The garlic slices were cheesy and extremely garlicky; exactly what you expect. Finally, the waffle fries had a nice crunchy texture and a hit of the truffle with each bite. The only reason I'm giving them a 4* is due to the long wait (40 mins) during a relatively quiet time for the shop.

Me and my cousin travelled all the way from Glasgow just to try their pizza. We got a full pie but couldn't finish. It was one the best detroit style I have ever had so give them a try, you guys won't regret.

This place is definitely worth a visit. They do a meal deal for £8-ish pound where you get a slice, chips, drink and dip and it’s 100% worth the money. 1 slice is quite filling and definitely stands out in the town.

Never tried Detroit style pizza before so bought a slice on the way home from work. Got the Wiggum slice (like a cheese and bacon burger for the toppings) The slice was unbelievably crispy on the bottom side (you can hear the crunch from outside I’ll bet!) and the toppings were delicious. Immediately ordered a Chicken Parm whole pie to take home. The food is great and the lady serving me was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come again!

Best pizza i have had in a long time and great customer service

Amazing food and nice interiors. Whoever had control of the music deserves a raise too!

Best pizza I've ever had the service was 1st class and friendly this place is a must if you love pizza

It was okay at best. Not in the same level as other Detroit style pizza places.
