The Pizza Yard in Wakefield

We saw The Pizza Yard, which is a few minutes walk from the Hepworth Gallery. We hadn’t booked but were lucky to be squeezed in. The Pizza Yard team were very friendly and service was great. We really enjoyed the sharing plate and the pizzas were delicious. A great find in Wakefield.

Went out for a few pre-birthday drinks and fancied a pizza. Not been to The Pizza Yard before. Will definitely be eating here again. It was packed and hadn’t booked, initially looked like we had a long wait but staff accommodated and juggled things round. We didn’t have a long wait for food and WOW, best pizza in Wakefield by a country mile. Staff and owner (chef) so friendly and inviting. 5⭐️💯 delicious

The Pizza Yard makes the best pizza I've had in the UK! Great atmosphere and fantastic service make this place worth every visit. Highly recommend!

Best pizza we have had in a Loonnnggg time and definitely the best we have had in Wakefield! Would absolutely reccomend and we will be returning! 🍕

Absolute gem of a place, first time visiting tonight but we will be back! Food was first class, the owner was so friendly and welcoming and just an overall lovely atmosphere!

Amazing food , great lovely owner and staff, next time in Wakefield will for sure have dinner agai..5 stars

Visited tonight for the first time and I can't wait to go back already! We started off with an aperol & limoncello spritz, both were delicious! Then had the lucinda pizza for our main. One of the best pizza's and doughs I've had in a long time! Simple, great quality ingredients! The venue itself was very charming and set a very nice atmosphere. The staff were super friendly, Can't recommend this place enough! Thank you to the Pizza yard team for having us! ☺️

Best Italian style pizza we have had in Wakefield.

Great neapolitan style pizza with soft pillowy crust. Friendly atmosphere:) the staff was so lovely. I can't wait to be back🙂🍕🍷

The food was really high quality and tasty. Service was quick and the two servers working were very friendly. I would highly recommend the Pizza Yard.

We ordered for takeout yesterday and must say customer service was great from answering the phone to being greeted inside. The pizza and fries were amazing too! Incredibly fresh tasting can’t wait for our next meal!

We stumbled into The Pizza Yard for the first time last night quite late but the staff made us feel more than welcome! The pizzas were incredible and the Tiramisu that was on the specials board was one of the best desserts we have ever eaten! Hope it becomes a permanent fixture on the menu. We can’t wait to return!

Amazing food staff were very welcoming had a great brunch 😋

We had a takeaway from here and it was Hands down the nicest pizza I’ve had in the Wakefield area ever! Highly recommend, they also do vegan options, which is great! Garlic bread and garlic/rosemary fries are lovely too.

Great hospitality and amazing food. Didn't have to order a lot, so filling and the dough base to die for. More than enough to choose from in the menu. Easy place to locate and park just off Wakefield centre. Highly recommended and will be visiting again soon

What an absolute gem of a place this is. The grazing platter was outstanding and the freshest pizza you could eat. Felt like you was enjoying a meal with friends in their home. Well done Ben and the team!!

Absolute gem of a restaurant. The staff and the owner were so so lovely and went above and beyond for us. The pizza was incredible, as were the fries and dips that we got to go with it. Highly recommend adding their homemade hot honey to your pizza 🤤 The atmosphere was lovely too. Cannot wait to go back 😊

Lovely staff, beautiful food, yummy wine, fab music, funky artwork and an overall great atmosphere, totally recommended, thank you.

Great little place and the pizza is amazing. Well worth a visit.

The staff is so nice they made me and my friends feel so welcome.I had a pizza with a lovely drink it was so delicious! One of my favourite pizza places to eat out.

Pizza done proper! Vegan cheese routinely available too, so no-one has to miss out on this little gem.

The service was really welcoming and faultless the pizza was really tasty the best I have tasted for a long time. I will be back!

1st time visiting...Excellent food, delicious cocktails 🍹 A*** service. Will be back soon. Thanks Ben 👍💎

We went on Friday for our anniversary. We were absolutely blown away! By far the best pizza in town as well as the friendliest most personable staff. A real find, highly recommend

I travel a lot and the pizza here is very good. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great and we were served with a smile.

Really nice pizzas and friendly staff. Owner is a cracking fella. 🙂👍

Lovely food. We had 3 courses and all 3 were great. Very friendly staff, the owner even came out to see how our first experience was eating there which was a nice touch. Would enthusiastically recommend this local family run restaurant. Top notch pizza!

I ordered pizza to take out only and it was good, while waiting I saw the customers were having a good time and the staff was really friendly. Would definitely recommend

Delicious Neapolitan style pizza. Service was also amazing, such a great passion for food and quality.

Our new favourite place! We got takeaway, when I collected the food, the staff were so friendly. The food was spot on, finally some proper pizza that isn't covered in a tonne of cheap cheese. Thank you for a great family evening

Absolutely amazing. We had the famiglia bottomless brunch, the food & drink just kept coming, we got to try a variety of starters and pizzas and everything was fabulous. Ben and his team are brilliant, we cannot recommend Pizza Yard highly enough. Give it a go, you will not be disappointed.

Starters were to die for, Pizza was delicious, and pudding melted in your mouth. Great atmosphere with open mic on, and the staff could not do enough for you. Starter, pizza, fries, brownie, and a pint came to £30 plus they did vegan option for my friend. You don't get better than that. Thanks, guys, top-notch food 👌.

Great place, first visit today. Food and wine outstanding, quality produce and execution. Very friendly too. Will be regular.

Easily the best pizza I've had in Yorkshire. The kids menu is very generous and the exact same quality. The staff were very nice and friendly.

Happy Birthday to The Pizza Yard 🎂 We've been at least once a month (sometimes twice a week!) & can honestly say it never disappoints. Food/drink/service is always 100%.

Excellent bottomless brunch. Delicious food drinks flowing and a fantastic service from the owner.

I felt at home straight away And I come from Italy !!!!

Very welcoming,fantastic glutenfree pizza, reasonably priced and nice cocktails

the best pizza i’ve ever had in my life! Great and never that busy!

What a place! Amazing service. It makes you feel like you are home, but with bottomless drinks! Staff are amazing, very attentive and always happy to help. Food was brilliant, pizza was delightful and the starters are the right amount to get you going. Highly recommended.

My Wife and myself found the restaurant really warm, relaxed and an inviting. The owners were the nicest people and very approachable and knowledgeable about their craft. The Pizzas were fantastic, you can really taste the quality ingredients and workmanship that goes into them, a real credit to Ben ! We also had salad and fries which really good too. We shared a bottle of the suggested wine which equally nice and reasonably priced. A great experience in a family run business. Get a table booked now,you won’t be disappointed !!

I loved coming here. The food was delicious and the choice to have assorted card games provided passive entertainment. We were able to get on with the waiters and have a good chat with them. would eat here again easily.

Pizza was outstanding ! Can honestly say it was the best pizza I had in a long time (tried Lucinda - pepperoni and honey - delish!!! And one with anchovies) Pesto fries were also spot on. Great it doesn’t have an extensive menu - it’s reassuring that the ingredients are nice and fresh. Definitely will be back.

If you respect yourself and you looking for a real italian pizza in Wakefield The Pizza Yard is the place you are looking for. Honest high quality ingridients with crispy and light dough. Healthiest and realiest pizza in town. Super tasty. I only hope for a delivery option in the future!

Ordered a takeaway and was greeted by lovely friendly staff. Food was fab, will definitely come again!

Fantastic food very tasty our host Ben was brilliant lovely atmosphere too well worth calling in .Do try folks !!

Lovely place and wonderful food

A great family owned business, food, atmosphere and service were all wonderful. A perfect venue to meet up with friends and family at a really reasonable price. Will be back soon.

Very friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed the grazing board, plenty to choose from with a good range of cheese and meats. Followed by amazing pizzas. The lager was great! We will be back.

I was there yesterday with my partner, the waitress was very kind, we really felt looked after by her and she has very good energy. Place is cozy and well designed. The only issue for me is a lack of a little bit of privacy, maybe subtle room dividers would do the job. Menu is great, short and you do not need to think too long about it. In case of food - pizza was amazing, the ultimate board was very tasty - different nibbles. Last thing is, that would be great if there would be olive oil and parmiggiano bowl on the tables. All in all pizza was tasty and we need more places like that. Owner and staff are very nice people who want to create an Italian vibe among those all repetitive chicken takeaways and show people that food can get onto another level. Edit: amazing tomato sauce. Owner is amazing as always, food was delicious. Pizza, board with cheese Charcuterie mmmm recommend. P.S TOMATO SAUCE IS SPECTACULAR. GRAZIE BEN ❤️

The baked Camembert was really good and the pizza was excellent! Would suggest to anyone looking for a good pizza with very friendly staff around Wakefield. Will definitely be back!

food very yummy took my family here was verh nice

Came in earlier today, best pizza I have had in Wakefield, really friendly staff and customers. Small restaurant but that makes it so much better!

Fantastic visit to the Pizza Yard while down for a work event. Excellent friendly welcome and lovely pizzas too. Hope back soon.

Very friendly staff, great pizza and great choice of no alcohol beer!

Absolutely beautiful! Excellent menu with a really clever take on your traditional pizzas without the ridiculous ‘gravy ice cream’ trend! 😝 Ben’s a great host, working so hard to give Wakefield a quirky, great quality and delicious little pizza restaurant. Very relaxed, very welcoming and with a great playlist too! We WILL be back! Everyone in Wakefield (and beyond!) should support this lovely little local business! 5 ⭐️ 🇮🇹

Best pizza in wakefield hands down. Will definitely be eating with you again.

My wife and three children have visited the Pizza Yard on three occasions since it opened. The Pizza's are amazing Neopolitan style with high-quality toppings. The staff and owner (head pizza chef!) are exceptionally friendly and always make my family and I feel really welcome. On the last occassion they whipped up some BBQ sauce for my middle child. My kids are 7, 10 and 13 and love going to the Pizza Yard for dinner. I can't recommend it highly enough. Everything is great and I have a different pizza every time but always share an order of Arancini balls with the kids (if they're quick enough!!).

Went for the first time tonight, great food and lovely hosts. Highly recommend

We really enjoyed our visit, sneaked in a quick visit on a Thursday in October and couldn't have asked for more attentive staff. Ben (owner) was so friendly and walked us through the new menu, (recommend the Lucinda, who knew honey and pepperoni!). He even made us some fresh aioli to order. Really good value for money and we will definitely be returning!

I came here for a birthday dinner and would highly recommend it. The food was delicious and reasonably priced and it has a lovely, friendly atmosphere. 10/10 would come again

We hired this place for our baby shower - the staff were exceptional from initial enquiries to the actual on the day event nothing was too much trouble and they were so accomodating, the food was incredible. Would 100% recommend hosting your event here - particularly if you want somewhere with a more relaxed intimate vibe!

Visited last Saturday after viewing the reviews. Atmosphere on the day was great due to the number of customers eating. Service was friendly and professional. In my opinion the pizza didn't quite live up to expectations due to the small amount of toppings. However, I was told that this is typical of this style of pizza. The wine served was nice and good value. A mixed bag for me but will return.

I got welcomed with a wild gesture including an espresso martini . Also my parents hate me

Best Pizza I’ve ever had, I had the New Yorker. The service was quick and it was reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Brilliant pizza’s, brilliant service and brilliant atmosphere. To sum it up, just brilliant!! Will be back as soon as we can!!

The most amazing experience. Ben and his team are amazing and the food is also as amazing.

Lovely people and excellent food. Will definitely return

Rubbish, “Wakefield’s home of Neapolitan pizza” must be having a laugh, should be “wakefields home of undercooked pale pizza” they’re not even round.

Amazing pizza and very friendly staff.

The pizza was amazing, a thin base and delicious, fresh ingredients - perfect! We also had the truffle fries which were delicious too. The owner Ben is very passionate and knowledgeable and made us feel looked after, the personal touch made a wonderful first experience at The Pizza Yard. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu :)

Had a great evening at The Pizza Yard, it was our first time visiting but it won't be our last! Pizza's and fries were particularly good. Cosy venue just a stones throw away from town, definitely worth a visit

A good experience, lots of food, pizza, sharing platters, salads etc. draught lager, wine, and spirts. We had pizza, and salads, and it it was like an endless brunch. Tasted lots of different pizzas. Ben the chef is very passionate and loves to talk about his creations.

Nice little hidden gem, just a little walk out of the city center, the pizza is awesome and the chap that runs the gaff is really friendly, happy to chat about ingredients. And clearly passionate about what he does! Make a huge difference to the experience! Give it a go you won’t be disappointed!!

Really great pizza, lovely staff and nice atmosphere. Will definitely go again

We ordered on the phone and ordered a pizza they were very friendly and helpful on the phone they said the pizza would be 10 minutes and it was! Amazing service and the food was great. The whole experience was amazing .I definitely recommend this restaurant 👍

Visited the Pizza Yard for the second time but this time to try their bottomless brunch and we had the most amazing afternoon!! The food first of all was amazing, we felt so looked after by Ben the owner - he came out to speak to us about what we liked, what we wanted to try etc and he then put a menu together for us and we just felt like this sort of service is not something you see very often. Definitely one of the best meals out we've had in recent memory, we can't wait to come back and try not more of the menu. Thanks again for having us!!

Absolutely amazing Place brilliant value for money food is absolutely out of this world and the staff. Wow amazing highly recommended

Fantastic food, fantastic people and fantastic atmosphere. Great atmosphere. Partner 24th birthday, and gave a free desert. 10/10 recommend

What a lovely hidden gem! The best pizza we have had in Wakefield. Great quality and very delicious. I cannot recommend enough, you must try it! Great outdoor space and Ben is very friendly

Excellent neopolitan pizza. Very unusual place for Wakefield, I hope things stay the same for this place. These are the type of places Wakefield needs, proper businesses

Brilliant brilliant pizza, with a lovely outdoor space and superb Poretti on tap!

Top quality ingredients, fresh & tasty. Great range. Get yourself down 🙌

What a perfect place to spend our 7 year anniversary! We went for the bottomless brunch. We were offered two options, we went for starters and pizzas. The food was exceptional 😍 the staff were so polite & friendly and the service was quick! 100% recommend 🍕🥂🍹

Thank you Ben for a wonderful experience. From start to finish, it was fabulous. The food was very flavoursome & the portion sizes, very generous. The outside area is private & spacious between tables. A very enjoyable experience & will not be our last. Keep up the fantastic job Ben x x

Owner was very helpful. Pizzas were good, though could be more flavourful in my opinion.

This place is something very special .from the ambionce to the food .Ben goes above and beyond for every customer .please if you get chance give this gem of a place a try .the grazing boards and pizza is absolutely stunning .you'll never find a better pizza /grazing board in the area x

Had our eye on this place for a while and finally called in... Brilliant in all departments. Enjoyed our food, wine, and service. Friendly staff engaged with us but got on with the job.. we'll be back, thank you, "The Pizza Yard".. Jc & T :)

What a fabulous find! Fantastic anniversary lunch with incredible food and service. 100% recommended for the best pizza around and cookie dough desserts to make you drool! Thank-you Ben xx

What a fantastic little new place to eat pizza. Both times I’ve had the pleasure to eat there I have loved every single bite of food. I would highly recommend it to anyone and I will be popping back soon.

Great food, tables I think need to be re arrange, but no other complaints

Fantastic service and great pizza, in a lovely setting. Highly recommended

Thank You Ben and Michelle for the warmest of welcomes. Wonderful food - a simple but really carefully thought out menu. We'll definitely be back ;o)

Called on a Sunday evening, just a few other tables taken, nice atmosphere. I already knew what I was having before we went as not much of a pizza lover. Nice and friendly as we were seated and given our menu's, good simple menu to follow though. We ordered drinks as my wife decided on what to have, fussy vegetarian ! Choices were made after a chat and an offer of variations to the menu. Once the food came it was absolutely Bang On, lived up to my expectations and more importantly the wife was impressed too. We are sure to return and take the grandkids too.

Bloody brilliant. Excellent for vegans too!
