The Panormus Pizzeria in Portsmouth

Visited on a busy Friday night, staff were brilliant, attentive and good knowledge on ingredients used. Cheesy garlic pizza bread to start with added 'Nduja and arancini ball 10/10. We shared pizza Parma, rocket salad and burrata cheese. Again 10/10. Even picked up panettone for Christmas! Will definately return, thanks again!

We are new to this place. We had delivery. Wow, it's amazing. I wanted to give 5 stars but the Pizzas arrived stone cold. We slung them in the oven for 5 minutes to heat up. So for that four stars, which is still a great score. Could throw a few more veg on them too (veggie one) Beautiful crust and sauce. Highly recommended 👌

Fantastic authentic pizza. Lovely friendly owner and staff. Can be a bit slow when busy

Consistent as usual - best Pizza in Pompey

No complaints from me. Fantastic pizza. Simple and great tasting. Last time I called for my order they said they were very busy but still got the order done in less than 20 minutes. It’s nice to just have a place like this near by. Acutal real pizza!

Again. Another amazing hot pizza. Lovely

Great food, friendly service and a very reasonable price.

Very tasty pizza and the best chips ever ! Our new go to pizza place.

I am Italian, I come from Palermo, the place from which this restaurant took the name. Living in Portsmouth, I feel so lucky to have the possibility to eat a pizza that is of the same quality and type of the one with which I grew up at home. Of course not every pizza in the menu have the traditional ingredients, we would never put Bolognese on pizza, but I can understand that here in England the demand is different. Still, I take every Friday a Pizza Parma, which is usually called San Daniele at home and was my absolute favourite, thanks to this restaurant I can still enjoy my favourite pizza in another country! If you look for a proper Italian pizza, this is the place to go!

Visited yesterday evening, service was wonderful, place very clean food and wine was amazing, will definitely be returning.

I had a very tasty Capricciosa Pizza with high quality ingredients and a real authentic Italian feel. It's a nice little restaurant and we received friendly and attentive service. Not a huge menu, but when the pizza is done this well I don't think that matters. Mouth-wateringly delicious Tiramasu as well!

If you want a proper Italian pizza in pompey look no further this place is authentic has class and is super delicious would highly recommend 5 star

What a warm and friendly atmosphere as soon as you enter and followed up by amazing pizza prepared and cooked by people who clearly know what they’re doing. Take away and delivery available and I’d be amazed if you’re disappointed. I’d give this place more stars if possible. Will 100% be back, thank you.

Superb authentic pizza joint! Relaxed environment and super warm welcome from Mel and Vince! Definitely going back to try more of the Pizza menu!!! (No pineapple in sight!)

Fantastic pizza. Had it takeaway. One of the best in Portsmouth.

Down in the area for work, the best pizza I've had in a long while. 5 star

The best pizza I've had in years. Thank you for the nice time

Just had a gorgeous Diavola pizza. Spicy, cheesey and all round yummy. Lovely place too, no nonsense laid back vibe and the rest of the food I saw looked really nice. If you are in Southsea and want a great pizza, this is the place, no question.

Service and atmosphere were good but food quality not. Garlic breads were overcooked and blacky underneath. Vegetarian pizza had no taste and they topped up very very less ingredients on the pizza. So i don’t recommend to go again for the vegetarian option.

Authentic Italian pizza. Best I've had in Portsmouth so far. They deserve your business!

The only problem is the delivery driver who probably dropped the box or something because all the pizza toppings were all slipped out on one side out of the pizza! Otherwise pizza from here is always delicious, can’t fault that!

Brilliant pizza, better in person but delivery tastes just as good

From the moment you step in, feel as a welcome environment with simplicity, cleanliness and family-friend environment. Offering a delightful dinner - one of the best pizzas in Southsea and with attentive/ professional staff. Definitely will return and if you are unable to visit you can always order via Uber eats. 5⭐️

Make a mama cry with joy great selection of toppings

Excellent food (from the pizza to the sides and dessert), sealed with care.

Firstly, I love pizza but rarely eat it, therefore, when I get the opportunity to order one I have high expectations. Arriving at Panormus pizza we experienced a lovely atmosphere, despite it being early evening, and a warm welcome from the staff. The arancini was the best I have ever tasted, truly epic and the pizzas were exceptional. Vincenzo, the owner, makes the dough freshly each day and the result, together with generous toppings of quality ingredients, makes for a great pizza. I highly recommend this Southsea, hidden gem.

Best pizza in Southsea and the chips are so delicious too!!

Walk in of 6 on a Saturday night and had a great meal, Mel was very welcoming and all of our pizzas were excellent.

We were made so welcome. The pizzas were perfect, lovely atmosphere . Definitely will be returning.😊

Modest but welcoming atmosphere. Excellent service. The pizza is delicious and the calzone exquisite. Compliments.

Only discovered Panormus Pizzeria a few weeks ago, despite it being right on my doorstep! Made up for lost time by eating there 4-5x since. Best pizza in Pompey by far - proper Italian fare made with extremely fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked crispy bases. I've tried their BBQ chicken, pepperoni and bolognese pizzas. All were delicious but the pepperoni with optional hot honey added is my favourite (*chefs kiss emoji*). Furthermore, the staff are all welcoming, friendly, smiley and attentive. I always like to support independent businesses when possible, and the kind nature of the staff encourages me to do so even more. Eat there now - you won't regret it! PS - Eat there now (repeating this for emphasis!)

Best pizza! Delicious crispy base, excellent selection of toppings, nice atmosphere in the restaurant.

Welcoming staff, great food would recommend

The best pizza base we have ever had, lovely service and friendly relaxed atmosphere. Authentic Italian food. Thank you.

Opposite Kings theatre which is handy. Very quick tasty food, waitress is amazing

Best damn pizza you can get, and easy to reach. Absolutely good price too

Ordered from here and sat in. Best pizzeria in town. Calzone is great

Good pizza with quality ingredients, fantastic service

We had a fantastic pizza here! Arancini for starter, which was freshly cooked and really tasty. Followed by a vegetarian and a artichoke/Parmesan pizza. The caprese salad has fresh basil now as well. Really recommend this place.

Found this place before a gig at the Wedgewood rooms. Really nice tasty freshly cooked pizzas - we had the pepperoni & the BBQ chicken ones. Accompanied by garlic bread & cheese which was also delicious. Friendly service and the chef even popped out to check if we were enjoying the food which was a nice touch. Would thoroughly recommend!!

Good decent pizza,very nice dough and not ridiculously overpriced like other places in Portsmouth!I will be back for more!

Delicious starters and pizza Very friendly staff in a relaxed environment

The pizza base well made, but the toppings were not tasty on this occasion. I previously tried the vegetarian and that was better. The margherita I wasn't so keen on the bolognese sauce. The homemade tiramisu was very nice, light. Perhaps I need to try the chilli oil.

Wow!!!!!! A perfect taste of Italy. Superb, happy, friendly service. The pizzas are fresh and delicious, great price and the tiramasu is out of this world! The owner/chef even came out to double check everything was grand. Seriously, wish we had this restaurant in Bristol.

Lovely staff, food and service! Had the Burrata pizza, Arancine and would also recommend the homemade Tiramisu!

Dined here with a friend. Fabulous pizzas, highly recommend this authentic family run restaurant. Lovely atmosphere and super delicious food, great choices, friendly service and the tiramisu was to die for. Absolutely loved it. Thank you Vincenzo for bringing a piece of Italy to our doorstep 😊

Amazing hospitality and food tonight. Popped in for a pizza with my son before heading to see Kevin Bridges in the King's Theatre. They kindly kept our left overs boxed up ready for us to collect after the show. Fantastically friendly folks.

The best autentic Italian pizza we ever had in Portsmouth !!! The pizza is so delicious that we even visited the pizza restaurant 3 times in less than a month ! Staff members are always friendly, prices are reasonable and the spot is always kept clean!

Cannot recommend this place enough! Proper authentic Italian Pizza....absolutely delicious! Great service and did not wait long for food.

congratulations Vincenzo ! your pizzas are amazing and it is a pleasure to eat them . I found positive that there is the essential of the Italian cuisine to choose on your menu! The service of your team is also great!!!

Great pizza, good wine, friendly staff. What more can I say?

Easily the best pizza I've had in a long time. This is how it should be done.

The place style is simple, the menu has the essentials things you need to enjoy a good evening with your friends or family while eating good food. Pizzas are delicious and prepared like in Italy (apart from a couple "americanised" ones for the wider public). Arancine are really good as well. Prices average, but the price-quality ratio is much better than other pizzerias around Portsmouth. I can say I'm happy they opened and will go back here for sure when I want to eat pizza.

One of the best pizzas I've ever had! Great location opposite the Kings Theatre so perfect for dinner before a show. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. The tiramisu is a must try!

We had been waiting for this pizzeria to open since we first heard of it. We weren't disappointed. We ordered Margherita, Napoli, and capricciosa pizzas. The dough is slightly crunchy outside and soft inside, neither too thin nor too thick. The topping is great with all that mix of genuine Italian flavours. The tomato sauce is sweet and the mozzarella is fresh and milky. I didn't like much the fresh sausage on the capricciosa but that is just my personal taste. The restaurant is simple but the atmosphere is warm (quiet or lively depending on who else is there). The service is okay. Will definitely come back again and try other food!

Waitress Elizabeth was great supper helpful amd accommodating, very funny. Pizza was delightful and very reasonably priced!

We walked past the new restaurant and went in for a snack to try it. The Pizza was really good and the Mozzarella balls and Arancini starters were delicious. We will happily come again soon.

Great service Great food Forza Napoli

I thought they were very welcoming and allowed my dog to come in as well! The gentleman who was working the front of the house was very attentive and aware of everything going on around him and still had time to chat with me! We (dog and I) went to the back garden which was very pleasant and a nice surprise. I ordered take out. The prices are reasonable and it’s great that they have Neapolitan/Sicilian style Arancini! Bonus was they had a unique calzone that was bolognese and mozzarella. I ate the whole thing! it’s worth trying it yourself. It’s the kind of place you could easily go as your easy takeout or casual dine-in. Come as you are kind of place. Menu is small and be ready to season a bit more (I’m from the USA we salt EVERYTHING)!

We stopped for dinner last night and it was perfect. A simple selection on the menu but all Packed with flavour. We had a sharing board starter (medium was perfect for two people) mozzarella balls which were amazing followed by two pizzas. Everything tasted authentic, fresh and hot and we loved being able to take our leftovers home. FYI - the homemade tiramisu was HEAVENLY. Will definitely be back 👍🏼

Always lovely eating panormous pizzas! The best in southsea!

The best pizza in Portsmouth, proper Italian 😋 The new location is great, big and confortable space inside and outside there ia a garden too, dog friendly, amazing atmosphere and the service was super. Can't recommend this place enough.

Excellent experience at panourmus! Vincent is still doing amazing producing high quality authentic Italian pizzas! I have had food from the outside in days, and I would say that the food is even better now! I recommend the Pepperoni pizza with some pesto too!

Great tasting pizza and lovely service. Decor is a little mismatch between pizza takeaway and vintage shop (but that's just about my taste!) And it's a shame that fresh basil wasn't used on their caprese starter either considering it's an Italian and the price of it. But would Def come back for their pizza.

Every time I eat pizza from this place, I feel like I am in Napoli, such an authentic Italian atmosphere, and the tiramisu is amazing. Can't wait to visit them again!

We have ordered every week from here but since they have recently moved sites the service has been beyond terrible. Mistakes happen such as you not removing yourself from Just Eat but the issue is that when we arrived to collect the attitude was awful, couldn’t care less! My advice is use Floria’s D’Italia who do great pizza and with excellent customer service. Seems an odd approach to a business who wants to grow!

Great food, kind service, This place does the Very best Calzone, we love it!
