Visited tonight with my husband and 2 young daughters. Great atmosphere, attentive staff, beautiful fresh food full of flavour 😋 and a lovely selection of drinks. This place has a fantastic vibe and we really enjoyed the music choice, especially my 2 year old who had a good dance on a number of occasions. The kitchen staff never stopped and neither did the door, every table was full and the number of takeaway boxes going out speaks volumes. Wish we lived closer as we’d be regulars without a doubt. Thank you

We went for a takeaway and ordered 4 pepperoni pizzas, the dough was lovely and toppings were fresh.....so filling too, we had to leave some and save it for the next day. Better pizza than any other takeaway we've had.

A group of us (6) descended on the Wood Oven as part of our reunion evening. Quite small, very cozy inside. Eclectic, artisan pizzas. Tasty....😁 2 of us were not partaking in alcohol ( driving ), I don't like fizzy drinks etc, but do enjoy either tea or coffee. I was disappointed to be informed they serve neither!! Really??? 😳 As I had been drinking coffee prior at the pub opposite, I asked whether I could bring one over....yes, no problem! So across the road, takeaway coffee and back to my table! Gave us a laugh and made the night memorable!

My husband organised a surprise party for me with friends and family here at the Wood Oven and what excellent service, collaboration and willingness he described in the whole planning and execution. Not to mention the absolutely 5 star food, drink, and service we received. I don’t know what a couple of minor previous reviews are talking about when they say The Wood Oven is not what it used to be - the quality is absolutely gold standard, they have added fantastic sides which I always wanted previously, a range of new pizza toppings which are delicious. We had a party of 19 - only 4 others of whom had been before and everyone was so thrilled with everything. Really can’t fault anything on this visit, thank you to all the team and big props to you all with the new branding and adapted menu- going from strength to strength I’d say!

This place used to be fantastic before it was bought by new owners. We used to go regularly and have been a few times since. However, the quality of the pizzas has gone down. The pesto used to be home made, it’s now just a jar of pesto on a pizza. The sausage used to be high quality but has been replaced by cheaper ingredients. It is still good for the area but nowhere near what it used to be.

Yet again, The Wood Oven was incredible. This was our second visit, the first was just after Covid. I didn’t think it was possible but it was even better than the first. The lamb pizza was amazing, so fresh and so tasty!! The chips were perfect and the garlic dip was so good!. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. It’s a pleasure to sit inside, with a vibrant atmosphere and we were looked after throughout. I’ll definitely be back!

Its 4 months since we have been here , and again I can’t rate this food highly enough. I'd give it 6 out of 5 if I could, even the little things are special.So I had garlic bread, sounds pretty routine, but this dough was as light as a feather and the caramelised confit garlic made me wish that I had ordered 2 of them- delicious.My other half had sardines with tomato sauce ( but like an amazing fresh taste) with jersey potatoes. I mean fish and potatoes - classicFor the main I had a fantastic pepperoni pizza - i always say i'm getting a different pizza but dont change my order. My wife had a pizza with jerusalem artichokes, charred leeks and blue cheese - out of this world she said.We also got to try a chef special of arancini with beef ragu and blue cheese - only one between us as a tester but it was so good. Perfectly fried arancini, in panko I think, with a delicate blue cheese in the rice and a clearly home made ragu , made with brisket I guess as the beef had texture - definitely not your bog standard ragu sauce.To finish the review - a couple of words on the chunky chips - Order plenty.As usual I skipped dessert in favour of being able to walk to the car, while my better half had horseradish ice cream with honey. I mean where else do you get fantastic sourdough pizza and then that flavour ice cream.Tough times are ahead for restaurants. I will do my best to travel for take out pizza as much as possible

Its only 4 months since I reviewed this restaurant, (August 2019) and it was amazing then too. I think this time was even better, and the service was pretty much spot on.This time 5 of us visited for a birthday treat and so the menu got a much better work out.Everyone had a pizza and everyone really enjoyed them , even if they were so big that they not all of us could finish them but, between us, we had the pepperoni one, the anchovy pizza, the vegan meat feast and the pesto pizza. All first class and would be a knock out anywhere. They are made with sourdough, and baked to perfection for me in the genuine wood oven , yes it can get warm in this restaurant.Most pizza places do chips but here they are at least double fried and come like wedges. They are so good I had to have a bowl to myself. They are the home made ones, not the skinny ones, when you look at the menu.However, as usual, the rest of the meal leaves everyone gobsmacked with its high quality, variety and ingenuity. Firstly garlic bread with charcoal cheese sets a high standard, but the specials menu is where it really kicks on.I ordered a roasted red pepper salad, (for the table) thinking I might get it to myself, It comes on a large plate and is superbly dressed, with small peperancino on the side, and a roasted little gem lettuce, delicately flavoured with what might be a dressing of olive oil and a light soy sauce. The dish is dusted with an intensely flavoured red pepper dust made from roasted and dehydrated red pepper skin. All 5 of us wanted that dish and I had to share it eventually.We didnt have much room for desserts but managed 3 between us, all from the specials menu. I had an apple and raspberry crumble with raspberry ripple ice cream. The topping was oaty and out of this world, although it did defeat me in the end.The creme caramel was topped with raisins soaked in pedro ximenez which worked perfectly, and the peanutter pie was a multi layered treat of chocolate mousse, peanut butter, and plain chocolate on a buttery biscuit base. All in all, 5 of us had a 3 course meal with wine and beer for about £25 a head , and had some of the most creative, top quality cooking, that any pizza place has produced.

Some really original and delicious pizzas - veggie specials always popular in our family, although I'm a big fan of the 'nduja. Get a portion of the chunky chips too, but only one to share as you really need to leave room for a pudding. This is proper cooking by a chef that knows what they are doing.

Tried this restaurant following a glowing report from our neighbour. It certainly did not disappoint, the restaurant is small and unsophisticated in décor but the food was excellent, the wine outstanding and the service prompt and friendly. We both had pizzas, one with goats cheese and spinach and the other with pork and fennel sausage with chilli. Unusually they use a sour dough base which has more flavour and texture than the usual pizza base, when combined with some unusual toppings and fired in a wood oven it makes an exceptionally enjoyable pizza. The wine was exceptional, we had a bottle from their specials board of Appassimento, an "Amarone" style very rich red wine from Southern Italy it was delicious and at £18.95 a bottle easily delivered the most pleasure per £ that I have had in many years.

We had to ask for attention at all points in the night. It wasn’t busy but no one ever came to see if we were enjoying our meal, needed water, another round of drinks, desert, coffee, the bill. We had to constantly try to attract their attention. But non-the-less I’d still recommend a visit.

Na ons bezoek aan de pub aan de overkant (Fox and Hounds) waren wij opzoek naar een plek om iets te eten. Omdat er bij de pub niets bereid werd, waren wij eigenlijk een beetje hopeloos. Wij zagen veel mensen met pizzadozen uit een klein huisje lopen. Wij liepen erheen en de smakelijke lucht overviel ons! Jammer genoeg zat het helemaal vol. Toen wij later terug kwamen, was er gelukkig wel een plekje vrij. Het is een kleine en een hele knusse zaak! Het eten is er goed en de prijzen zijn oké. Alleen de alcohol was prijzig, maar dat is overal in Engeland. Je zou niet zeggen dat er een pizzazaak zit, maar hij zit er wel en nog niet door veel toeristen ontdekt!

What a little gem this restaurant is. The pizzas as you would expect are made in an open wood oven. They are delicious and with a variety of ‘different’ toppings. However they will add or substitute ingredients for you as wanted. The wine list is good & they had a wonderful rosso frizzante (served chilled) as a special which was so drinkable. The starters & puddings were also lovely. My 3 friends had all been before, but it was a new experience for me & I’ll certainly go back. It was such a lovely night.

I have been to The Wood Oven in Wylam twice: once in November last year with a large group of colleagues and most recently in March 2018 with my partner as a birthday treat. On both visits I have been made to feel incredibly welcome by the friendly and accommodating staff. The Wood Oven has been consistently the best pizza experience I have had this side of Italy and the best vegan pizza I have EVER eaten! On our recent visit I had a vegan hot pepperoni which was simply delicious (and the wonderfully spiced vegan pepperoni was hand made onsite!). My partner had one of the specials; a purple sprouting broccoli and blue cheese pizza which looked and smelled divine and which J said was amongst his top 3 pizzas ever (high praise for a great fan and maker of pizza!). The whole meal, including drinks and a side of fries, came to less than £40 so was also incredibly good value for money - well worth the train fare from Newcastle. All in all, The Wood Oven is the best dining experience we have had in the North East.

Visited Wood Oven on a Friday night, after seeing the good reviews on Trip Advisor. We live in Ryton so had a 10/15 minute drive but it was absolutely worth it. The venue is cosy, the food is amazing and the staff are friendly. We’ll be back, very soon!

I celebrated my birthday here recently with my family. I hadn't been before but my daughter (who lives in Wylam) has been raving about this place for some time and

Had several trips to the wood oven and never had a bad meal - just the opposite in fact. I can honestly say last nights pizza was the best I have ever had (& I’ve had a few!!). It was on the specials menu and it was a, “purple sprouting broccoli, chilli, cashew nut (!!) and mozzarella”. Just amazing. PLEASE make this a regular on your menu and thanks for another great meal.

We visited the restaurant this evening and I must say I was very impressed. The restaurant itself is quite small but what it lacks in size it makes up for in character and quality.

We hebben hier heerlijk gegeten. Veel variatie en de afstand tot onze B&B; was een extra pre. Ook zeer vriendelijke bediening.

Good pizza at reasonable price. A step above the usual pizza joint, far more atmosphere. Difficult to find. Its opposite the Fox and Hounds at the B&B; called Wormold House. Worth finding.

Visited for the first time yesterday and must say I was quite impressed. From the outside, you wouldn't know it was a restaurant as there was no signage. The interior decor was pleasant and seating comfortable enough. Our waitress was very friendly as was the Manager. Our starters were quite delicious and our Pizza's followed soon after the empty starter dishes were removed. We all 3 agreed that the Pizza's were very nice and a very good size ( I almost didn't finish mine - which would have been a 1st)Reading a few earlier comments, I would agree that an extractor fan of sorts is needed to restrict some (not all) of the smells of the cooking area - however the open design allows for unrestricted views of the cooking taking place which is nice.A bit on the pricey side, but the food was very nice and I would definitely return.

I don't normally eat pizza but thoroughly enjoyed one cooked fresh to order here with plenty roasted vegetables and cheese for topping. It was delicious as was the starter. We didn't book but the friendly staff found us a table. Not so easy to find, we walked past but we were staying in the village so knew it was nearby. Would return both to Wylam and the Wood Oven.

What a lovely evening. Food fantastic, service friendly and great value for money. The prawns to start with were huge, delectable and I can't remember having any better. We meant to take photos of our brilliant starters as well, but got too excited and ate them before we could! Pizzas followed! Delightful and authentic Italian pizza. The nduja was beautiful, but the pillars of a good pizza - the dough, tomato and mozzarella - are cooked in a way that would make a Neopolitan proud. Excellent value for money for top class pizzas. Will definitely be returning.

Quite a disappointing experience, as we had read good reviews of this place and decided to book a table and treat our friends to some good food and wine.The premises are quite difficult to find, and parking tricky. There are no signs to help guide customers to it's location.Staff were polite however, and drinks arrived swiftly.We chose to share a couple of starters, followed by a pizza per person. Starters ok, one drizzled with chilli honey was ok but not memorable. Pizzas followed. They were large and charred and averaged a mighty £10 each. The male members of our party ate most of their food and said it was 'OK'. I left most of mine as the base was very rubbery and the topping meagre. My female guest politely reserved comment. The premises were very hot on the evening of our visit, and we all commented on how our clothes reeked of 'cooking smells' as we left. Some form of air-con facility and an extractor fan would have provided a more comfortable atmosphere.I duly paid quite a hefty bill, made no fuss or comment to the waitress as we were with guests, and left no tip which is uncommon for us. Such a disappointment. Won't return.
