The Pizza Pony in Derby - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Best Neapolitan pizza in the UK... Amazing! Paolo is the best!

Excellent Pizza and Fries, service with a smile and quick. Fairly priced and good portion size.

This is real pizza and it doesn’t get any better than this ! If you haven’t tried pizza like this then you haven’t tried pizza !!

One of the best pizzas in the UK. I'm Italian, and this is exactly what you'd find in Naples. Great location with a beer garden and amazing service. Paolo is very friendly and professional. My wife and I have been regular customers since we moved to Derby in 2021. I would 100000% recommend it.

Best pizza in Derby. Great options, authentic Neapolitan recipe. Great service and location. I would definitely recommend it.

After a few trips to Italy this is the closest experience you'll get in Derby. They also have gluten free options for celiacs. Best pizza around!

Authentic Italian pizza 🍕, possibly the best I have had in England. Way better than any big franchise pizzas. Staff is very friendly and prices are very affordable. 100% recommend! ❤️‍🔥

Genuinely the closest pizza I have had in Derby to being in Italy! Very fresh and tasty. Fantastic service in a great setting.

Really great traditional style pizza. The Chef knows his stuff and each base is shaped and tossed by hand. The toppings are great, authentic Italian spicy sausage, not drab supermarket pepperoni. The whole thing is amazing. My new favourite pizza place in town. Won't order from anywhere else again.

Really lovely and truly authentic Neopolitian pizza. The best in Derby.

Best pizzas I’ve ever had and I’m a huge pizza lover, great atmosphere and adjoined to a great pub with great ales, what more can you want!

The pizza chef certainly knows how to bring the flavor of good Italian pizza to this small part of England: he is passionate, has good technique and uses excellent ingredients (even tomato sauce and mozzarella seem to come from across the Channel). A small note: metal plates cool the pizza too quickly, ceramic ones (especially if slightly heated, during the winter season) would preserve the crunchiness for longer!

It’s the best pizza in Derby with no doubt! Wow! Just wow! Very light and delicious dough with a generous amount of toppings. One of the best pizzas of my life! Better than some I’ve had in Italy! Amazing! I will definitely come back.

We really enjoyed our authentic freshly made pizzas. Plenty of choice and caters to Vegans and Vegatarians too. The prices are reasonable too, I will be returning 100%.

What can I say? Delicious pizza ;)

Fantastic pizza with lots to Choose from, great service and excellent value for money. Will be back soon.for sure. Just what Derby needs.

Best Italian pizzas in the midlands by far!

Real Italian food, 100% Neapolitan pizza, definitely best pizza in Derby

Simply the best pizza place in Derby.

Pizza is good but service time is very long

Stunning food. Authenticity cooked. My favourite pizza place. Glad to see it back open.

Served to the pub late night saved our souls. Perfectly made pizza in best Italian traditions.

Top quality traditional Neapolitan pizza! Really good value!

Fantastic true Neapolitan-style pizza, very nice service, Great experience!!

This place is a hidden gem; the pizzas were unique and reasonably priced. I got the trademark “Stella” pizza. It was fresh and full of flavor, well worth the hype. I will be coming back here again to try all the unique topping combos they have.

Beautiful pizza! The dough is great, light, and the ingredients are super good quality. Didn’t expect to find such a great pizza in Derby.... Definitely Italian approved 👍 Ah the staff is super friendly as well!

Lovely stone baked pizza which you can eat from inside the pub next door. Bit sparse on toppings is my only complaint but all in all delicious.

Best pizza I’ve had outside of Italy. Friendly and fast service too. Highly recommend 👌🏼

Hands down best pizza in Derby. Banging.

at mr grundys tavern wed-sun, great pizza, crispy bottom and slightly thicker dough. Got the Stella which had filled corners with cheese and assortments of filling so great for those of us who are less decisive

Amazing pizzas, amazing woman serving us and a very good price, I will recommend to my friends and family and I will certainly be coming back! Our server was amazing and made the whole occasion better y her smile😁

Delicious pizza!!! Would wish it never finished. Staff friendly and fast service :) Highly recommended!

The best capricciosa in derby. The service is excellent. The guy in the cap is always happy and charming.

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had was from here

I have a lot to say; firstly my husband and I are both foodies. We have been everywhere, we have tried everything, and Pizza Pony's Pizza is unlike ANYTHING we have tasted, nothing comes close or compares to it! the base, the sauce, the crust, the burrata, every single component of this pizza is like absolutely AMAZING. for those people complaining about waiting times...yes they get very busy, but it's not a big deal and definitely does not deserve lower rating because of it. They are a popular small business; with barely any proper seating arrangements, of course they would be busy. its just an indicator of how great their pizza is. the ONLY issue I have is that there are not anymore branches around the UK :(, i dont live in derby anymore but if i did i would be visiting Pizza Pony every other day.

Having tried pizza across different chains and independent pizza restaurants around England, Pizza Pony have the best combination of Neopolitan bases and fresh toppings I have found. Being run by friendly Italian staff also adds to the charm, and we visit whenever we are in town!

Had a lovely meal with friend . We got the Carne and Mushroom and Truffle oil pizza which we split in half. Both delicious and the crusts were out of this world. Reasonably priced and you can have your meal at the restaurant or inside the dining area of the Georgian hotel. Service from our server was also great.

We have ordered food from the Pizza Pony multiple times and it has always been amazing! Me and my partner love their food so much that we asked them to provide the food for my partner's 30th birthday and they were fantastic. All the food was hot and fresh, every single attendee of the party said the pizza was great. Fantastic value for money and so happy that we have such high quality food so local to us! Thank you!

Best pizzas in Derby, no competition...

Oh my god, this pizza is INCREDIBLE. I got the most simple one (marinara) and it was fantastic. 10/10 will pizza again

If you know your pizza your mind will be blown!! This is truly authentic Neopolitian pizza made exquisitely. Those unfamiliar with the art of Neopolitian pizza may find the crust doughy and the middle squishy but to me these are pizzas of beauty, made lovingly withe the best authenitic ingredients and I have rarely sampled to this quality outside of Naples! If you want thin and crispy go to pizza hut... The Stella here is the best I've tasted outside of Naples and love the way they experiment with different ingredients and flavours. I was travelling 30miles for a decent pizza before this so over the moon to have such an amazing pizzeria in Derby!

Bellisimo! As good as the pizza I have eaten in Naples! We cannot get enough of Pizza Pony and the fact they deliver makes it too hard to resist. I was over the moon to find I could get a Stella again in Derby- My absolute favourite pizza! And I eat a LOT of pizza! Thank you for bringing proper neopolitan pizza to Derby and you always provide friendly service and the passion for pizza shines through.

Amazing these guys smash it. Got to be tried

Great fresh pizza's and helpful staff highly recommend.

Lovely place, delicious pizza. 🥰

Had 2 amazing pizzas from here for the family on a Sunday night. Freshly made, proper pizza! Would highly recommend, this was my first pizza pony pizza, will definitely be going back.

Waited nearly an hour for two pizza and one was wrong and both of them were burned to the point that on the edges was bitter.

Superb pizza - we ate outdoors, it's a nice quiet space.

90 minutes after our order we get a message saying that they're not going to deliver it anymore. Just what we needed at 8.30pm after putting our baby to bed. No apology offered. Our first and last experience with Pizza Pony

We had to wait an hour and a half for pizzas only, and received no compensation or apology at all. All the pizzas were very good though. I would repeat if it was not for the excessive waiting time or service quality.

You will find here one of the best pizza I have tried. I strongly recommended. Also the boys are very lovely.

My name is Pony and i manage a pizza shop so when my friend told me about The Pizza Pony i had order to see what it was like. This pony is a fan, 100% Pony approved. #govegan

So far the only place that knows how to make actual pizzas, just like you would find in Italy. The crust is absolutely amazing and the products are fresh and tasty. Simply the best in Derby, by far.

Without a doubt the best pizza you can get in Derby, the only one to actually put the "Authentic" in "Authentic Italian". Absolutely love it!

Just had take away pizza’s from Pizza Pony Derby absolutely fabulous. If you want authentic Italian pizza , then this is the place to go at Mr Grundy’s Will definitely be retuning. Thanks Paolo, carry on the good work 😋😋😋

Best pizza in Derby by a huge margin. Local. Small business. Authentic. Great every time

THIS IS THE PLACE!!! Five star! But I would love give them more. Amazing FRESH MADE pizza. Delivery or pickup, vaste choice in the menu, fresh ingredients. Lot of love for this guys.
