Wood Fire Smoke Macclesfield in Cheshire East

We were in a rush, so we asked the owner if they could make the pizzas a bit faster. To our surprise, in just a little over 10 minutes, they managed to fire up two pizzas! The cozy, newly renovated place had such a comfortable atmosphere, and I suspect their high-temperature stone oven really made a difference. Overall, an amazing experience!

If you want a pizza that is 50% crust, has very little filling, a soggy middle, a tasteless and thin tomato topping this is the place to go.

I hired the restaurant exclusively for my husbands 40th. I dealt with Jordan throughout who was extremely helpful! Max and Grace were there on the day and both went out of their way to make sure the afternoon went as smoothly as possible (which it did!!) the food, service and venue were all 10/10 and we wouldn’t think twice about coming back. It’s our favourite place to eat but I really recommend hiring privately. Thank you to Max for being so attentive. Everyone absolutely loved it!!! It really makes a difference when the staff are friendly and polite, but the food was also brilliant!! Amazing afternoon, thank you again!!!

Best pizzas in Macc. Easily. Lovely chewy crust, high quality toppings. Fast service. Only thing that could be improved is a better beer selection now that they have an alcohol license :) Oh and be warned about delivery on busy nights, ours came by push bike and was very cold. Just go and eat in or pick up!

Appalling service. We booked a table for 5:30 and ordered within 5 mins of arriving. Our starters arrived pretty quickly but we were still waiting for our pizzas at 6:25. We were asked by a member of staff if everything was okay and I said yes but our pizzas would be nice. He went to check and advised they were just coming out of the oven. I questioned the timing as we only had the table until 7pm and he said it would be okay as we hadn’t had our food. The pizzas arrived just after 6:30. They were cleared away and the children ordered their desserts which were part of their meal and before they arrived at 6:55 we were asked if we could have the desserts to take away as they needed the table!!!!!! We were given the bill before the desserts had anrrived and they had kindly put a service charge on. More time was taken dealing with the takeaway orders than the customers in the restaurant. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such bad service.

The pizza is genuinely some of the best you will ever eat, and the staff are nice and accommodating. Turned up last minute asking if they had room for a table of 6, and they kindly made it happen.

Fantastic pizza, the service was excellent as well will definitely go again. Shout out to Max for the great service.

squeezed a party of six onto two wonderful little tables for an evening of delicious pizza and great vibes!! thank you max & team 🖤

Brilliant. Emily is absolutely excellent!

Amazing restaurant. Will visit again soon. Max,Tory and Emily were wonderful. Thank you.

Fantastic food, atmosphere and service- Max was a great host

Utterly delicious pizza but the dough balls are absolutely incredible. If your idea of a dough ball is pizza express then think again!

Thank you Max for amazing service! Can’t fault the food and will definitely be back again 🥰

Max is a legend! Pizzas lovely, BYOB, 100% recommend.

Amazing service and delicious food as always! We came with our dog Woody and he was brought a bowl of water as soon as we walked in and given a fuss from the lovely lady with two Staffies. Dough balls are a must!! Thanks so much!!

10/10 for Emily, amazing service and couldn’t do enough! Perfect dinner out

Absolutely stunning pizza! Emily provided the best service I’ve experienced in years! The other lady, Tori, was also superb making sure we had the best pizza ever!

Delicious pizza and salad, lovely atmosphere, very attentive and friendly staff. The place was busy, it’s a popular eatery, but they were able to fit us in without a booking. Thank you !

max is fantastic, i will come again purely to experience his wonderful service

Great food, friendly staff (particularly Max), lovely atmosphere and really good value

Closest thing to an Italian pizza in the uk Incredible. Very demure

Emily was amazing gave us great attention and provided with some lovely insights into the menu and recommended some dishes we may like overall top tier service 10/10

We got served by Emily tonight. She was lovely and the good was amazing!xx

we were served by Margot she was amazing ! Great food

Amazing pizza, one of the best I have ever had! BYOB is amazing. And staff super at helping to plan the rest of the evening. Shout out to Max, Margo, Tallulah!

Excellent food and service. Some of the best pizza I’ve ever eaten

Great food and amazing staff. 100% recommend!

Max gave great service , really enjoyed the food

Would definitely recommend. Great food, friendly staff! Thank you Max for looking after us

Tallulah was amazing, food was good as ever. Weekly business.

Big thank you to Ollie and his team for the way they resolved an issue we had with a missing pizza. They re-made our pizza on the evening and then went above and beyond to find a resolution by giving us a voucher to come back again. We are very grateful to Ollie and really enjoy our pizzas from here every time we come. We are really appreciative and will be sure to return again soon. Thank you for making our experience a great one!

We were looked after by tianna for my birthday and had a lovely experience. Food, atmosphere and service all on point and will defo be visiting again. Many thanks!

Love coming here, the food is always amazing and the staff are great, Max was so lovely.

Amazing food and great service from Holly!

we had a lovely time, waitress was so lovely and quite frankly the only reason i left a tip because of her service. the man in the white t shirt came and very rudely told us to leave which is not how you should talk to your customers coming from someone who works in hospitality. if our waitress had come and politely told us to leave then we would have understood but he was incredibly rude and so this is where the problem lies. food was incred though! xxxxx

Love this place, the staff and food is amazing!

Amazing pizzas and fantastic service by Max. Highly recommend and we will certainly be back soon. Keep up the great work 💪

The doughballs were fantastic as well as the piazza

Food is good but last 5 deliveries have been cold and the delivery driver tonight angrily informed me it was my fault as my phone was off, despite me giving very clear instructions on exactly where I was sitting. When I spoke to WFS about this they just blamed deliveroo so don't feel like there is much point in complaining on person again.

We had a lovely time. Food was perfect as described, Our server Max was great. Highly recommend

Lovely food and service by Max!

Visited for the first time today with my two boys. Fantastic pizza , best in Macclesfield. Good service nice decor. Reminded me of PExpress 30 years ago in soho. Really great .

Fantastic food service and atmosphere . thank you

I ordered with Woodfire Smoke for delivery and I was amazed with the quality of the food. We had a cheesy garlic bread, nduja honey pizza and seasoned fries all of which was fantastic. In fact possibly best fries! Pizza dough is brilliant and top notch toppings!! Thanks very much!

Fabulous food, lovely place. We drove 38 miles to eat here and would happily do it again

Didn't have the kind of milk that my wife wanted for her coffee, so they went to the shop next door and purchased one for her! No charge! Lovely place, lovely people.

Lovely food, served rather quickly too

The food at this place truly makes you feel like you're in Italy. The atmosphere is great, they allow you to bring your own drinks, and they are pet-friendly.

Called for a family birthday tea, pizza was very nice no alcoholic beverage but bring your own with a corkage charge

Amazing!! I bought dough balls (or squares😂) they were the best thing ever!! They were so nice, the cheese was high quality and super stretchy! The dough was lovely and fluffy and crispy on the dough balls and the pizza. The garlic oil was delicious on the dough balls. I ordered a margarita without Basil and extra cheese and they made it perfect! It was lovely! Perfect Italian, crispy wood fired pizza. My pictures don’t do it any justice at all, their social media shows it to its fullest! I’ll be back again soon. Also it was made when I was there, I ordered it ahead got there for exact time and it was made as I waited, super fresh and amazing! I had some left overs for the next day, I cooked them in the oven for about 10 minutes. The pizza a the dough ball was just as good, if not better than the day before 😍!

Enjoyed a delicious take away from WFS. Great service from Tabby, would thoroughly recommend 🌟

Delicious food, the tiramisu was incredible! Our server Max was an amazing host, very friendly and knowledgeable.

We’ve had another fabulous meal in WFS Macclesfield this evening. The food was amazing, the dough balls are the best I’ve ever had. The staff were lovely, made sure our dairy free daughter was well catered for. Can’t fault it.

The Napoli pizza here is amazing, but the best part for myself and my partner was the dough balls, cheese heaven. Would highly recommend

Fantastic pizza at WFS (the dough balls alone are worth the price), with a great vibe at the restaurant. Unfortunately, I feel like the place is consistently let down by a poor delivery service through Deliveroo. Can't know the exact reasons for this, but food often arrives cold and far too late after an estimated delivery slot.

Had a fabulous time, great food, incredible service!!! Somer was extremely helpful and professional!!

Great menu options - food quality excellent and the service was first class. We were served by Max and Grace both very attentive and helpful - would definitely recommend dining here.

Lovely place, staff are really attentive. Had the new march special pizza which was delicious. Dough balls are also amazing!

Great tasting pizzas, lovely little restaurant

Amazing food and service was brilliant! Toby was super attentive, really sweet but not overbearing. Everyone else was lovely - kudos to Emily for prompting me to write this review!

Enjoyed a lunch deal. £10.50 for a pizza and a drink. Diet Coke was a can. Great value and our waiter Max was lovely

Great pizza, lunch deal great value. Really nice atmosphere, lovely decor. Waiter, Max, was great!

We loved popping by here, the waiting staff were very nice and the food was top

Food was great, decor was nice and waiter Max was very accommodating. Lunch menu deal of pizza and drink for 10.50 is great value.

Really nice space and amazing staff but if I am honest I would happily pay more for a better quality cheese on the pizza. Would go again and maybe tweak my order

I went to wood fire smoke for my birthday with my family. The pizza were great and the we were looked after really well by the staff. I’d recommend it for a good food and friendly service.

Great pizzas, lovely atmosphere and a huge thankyou to Max for being such an amazing host!!

Best pizza in Macclesfield, Max and Molly took amazing care of us and we can’t wait to come back!

Best pizza this side of the Alps

Lovely authentic neopolitan style pizza. Highly recommended if you like neopolitan style pizza.

Place is 10/10 that’s all I can say. Go on a Monday and get a £5 margarita 🍕

Perfect pizza with pizzaz. I had a hankering for a Neapolitan slice after months watching my carb intake. So it happened that I found myself in Macclesfield. A Google search directed me to Honest Crust at the Picturehouse but save for the Ramen options, everything was a chip of the Mackie Mayor and Altrincham Marketplace. Both are lovely places with a fabulous vibe and a definite go to when meeting up with friends who’s idea of pizza is an inch thick slab of dough slathered with tomato and a mound of white processed cheese. Besides, having the latter on my doorstep leads to a bit of familiarity. So I was pleased to find a branch of the very nice pizza place I chanced upon in Wilmslow. The venue is cosy and built around the wood fired oven. You won’t struggle to have a conversation. The pizza are great. All the standard hits are on the menu. A special was on offer with a white tuna pizza and while I didn’t try it, it earned them an extra star for effort. Rudy’s shouldn’t corner the market on pizza specials.

Amazing food, really friendly service from Max, and lovely restaurant - definitely come back for the dough balls!

Gorgeous pizza, great atmosphere and friendly service. Have been a few times now and always enjoyed it!

Staff lovely (Matt and Margot in particular who served us) and incredible food - especially the dough balls!

Ate at Wood, Fire, Smoke Macclesfield this evening and had a great evening. The service from Max was fantastic from the moment we entered to when we left. We ordered to share, Max clocked this and brought side plates straight over. His recommendation for the desert was spot on and our whole meal was delicious. Highly recommend the chicken caesar salad, the dough balls and the truffle fries. My friend calls the dough balls heavenly garlic pillows!! The food is a fair price for the quality, a great night had by all. Thank you Wood, Fire, Smoke...keep up the good work!!

Thank you to max for fabulous service.

Max! Awesome host! Great experience! Thanks so much for a great night

This is by far the best pizza place in Macclesfield. I'm not a pizza aficionado, but a friend of mine helped me understand the quirks of this restaurant. It's fairly obvious from the art of the walls that this place specialises in 'Napoli' style pizzas, which can be quite thin and susceptible to a runny centre if you make certain choices. It's still amazing pizza with great toppings and cheese choices. There's also a couple of alternative bases too. It doesn't have an alcohol licence, but you can bring your own for a fee. Never had a bad experience here, and the portion sizes are great too.

Really good food and thanks to Gary for the great service. Cheers.

First time pizzas were great and our server Max was excellent we will be back soon 👍

Visited for a little mate date last night, and it was lovely! Food was so good, and Gary who served us couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly! 100% recommend, and already can’t wait to come back!

Staff lovely and welcoming throughout our service, food top tier as it has been every time I have visited. Love the dough balls especially.

Lovely food and very friendly staff. Restaurant has a really nice atmosphere.

so overated. pizza is better than average. service is consistantly incompetant apart from one experienced good waitress who appears to be management. a few weeks ago the place was so overwhelmed, they were sending home tables of people, with free, take away pizzas and an apologie, also a que of irritated delivery men waiting outside. prices extortionate - bring your own drinks but have to pay for the priviledge, mandatory service charge.

Normally really good but tonight had an order with missing items and the food that did turn up was cold. Understand this happens but their response over the phone was pretty bad, suggested I come and pick up whilst the rest of the food gets cold. Couldn’t get me off quick enough!

Great ‘Margherita Monday’ pizza and fab service as always! Fantastic value for money and love being able to bring your own wine!

Well yesterday I thought to try Pizza and truly It was wonderful and amazing, Being a Chef I highly recommend Wood Fire Smoke. Must eat here. Great food. Keep maintain the consistency -)

A little disappointing! The pizzas were well priced along with drinks and the service was very good. Unfortunately the food wasn’t really up to scratch. Flavours were OK but just chewy all the way through. Arrived warm and not hot so maybe had been sitting somewhere before being presented. Also there was an optional service charge included on the bill which isn’t a good thing. I won’t be back for that alone!

Best pizza I've eaten. Great atmosphere too

Nice food and atmosphere but very expensive. £41 for 2 pizzas, a garlic bread and 2 cokes. It included an "optional £4" service charge but I wasn't given the option to take it off (otherwise I would have done, 4 quid is a bit much for a quick 2 person lunch).

Came here with friends and had fantastic service and delicious pizza! Very accommodating staff and lovely atmosphere on a Friday evening. Highly recommend the huge dough balls - you only need one portion for 4! We will definitely be back soon!

Overall the food was amazing, we would recommend the dough balls (filled with mozzarella). Service was good we were served by a lovely young girl with black hair and all the staff knew the menu well. Unfortunately the atmosphere was quite unpleasant, we were sat near a table who were clearly unhappy about something and were shouting and demanding things in an awfully rude way to the staff at the top of their voices, one of the waitresses was clearly upset about this and the manager went out of her way to accommodate the tables problems. All together it wasn’t a brilliant atmosphere. Lovely food and lovely service, maybe we visited on a wrong day

Lovely food and great staff. You probably need to book ahead and they aren't licensed so bring your own booze or they have an arrangement with the bar next door to get some.

Highly recommend. Food, service and atmosphere was great

Great food but the prices could be more competitive!

Had the special with smoked cheese and fennel sausage, absolutely delicious, best Pizza in town. Highly recommended, enjoyed by the whole family.

Incredibly tasty Pizzas. Dough Balls amazing. Excellent value for money.

Had a great pizza on the lunch time special, it was £10 for a pizza and a drink excellent value and high quality ingredients Can't wait to visit the other restaurants

A very nice first experience here. Very friendly staff and lovely food. I will return.
