Woodstone Pizza and Grill in Allerdale

Toppings ok, but base not too great and didn’t taste freshly made. Staff were very friendly though, and efficient service

The gap between the prices charged, and the quality of the food is simply ridiculous. Only when the food arrives does it become clear how important your money is to them, compared with what they are prepared to give. There is no need for details here - readers will go, or not, according to their own minds - but we believe our money was wasted. We left feeling hungry, and perhaps even more - extremely disappointed.

Pizzas are alright but the garlic bread with tomato is delicious!! Chicken kebab is pretty good too - Lovely staff. (Looking forward to the garlic bread on my next visit!)

Major letdown. The pizza was far from what you'd expect from a wood-fired oven - more like a cracker with a few toppings and a sour tomato sauce. Frozen pizza from Lidl is tastier than this. The pasta was overcooked and mushy. To top it off, they have Spaghetti Bolognese in the menu, which doesn’t even exist in Italy! If you call your place Italian, at least get the basics right. Honestly, it doesn’t deserve to have "pizza" in its name. A thoroughly disappointing experience. Would not recommend.

Came today, Amazing place with amazing staff!

Ordered takeaway pizzas for 3. Given a time to pick up and pizzas were ready bang on time. The pizzas were absolutely delicious 10/10. If you want an excellent pizza In Keswick look no further. (Oh and the service was excellent too)

If you wanna get turned away with a reservation at a completely dead restaurant only because you’re 15 mins earlier head to Woodstone. No empathy or atleast polite customer service to even let us in and sit at the bar while we wait for our table even though the entire restaurant was empty

Delicious family friendly, dog friendly restaurant. Pizzas are very tasty! As is the chicken with bolognese.

Lovely gluten free pizza and dessert. A treat for my wife.

Had very nice pizza straight from stone oven. Waiters very good. Price reasonable.

Food was fresh and clean but didn't wow, for the price I expected more

The food really lets this place down. For a pizza restaurant, the pizza was possibly the worst I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Wood fired, couldn’t taste it? The dough base was tasteless, the tomato pizza sauce was a sharp, sour tomato taste, but nothing ‘tasty’ so to speak. The pepperoni tasted of nothing, literally nothing. The worst part, the price - £50 later, for 2 pizzas, fries and 2 pints of Coke (£5 each?!?!), this was possibly the most expensive, disappointing pizza I’ve ever eaten.

So, you think pizza, you think wood stone, you think fresh… I could honestly get this pizza in the oven from Asda or any other named supermarket. No biased reviews here!! £29 for 2 margarita pizza’s… I get Keswick is a bit “posh” and usually that comes with the price and location being in the Lake District but that is no excuse for the quality of this pizza. Look at the base, the cheese, the sauce. Nothing about this screams good pizza. Genuinely one of the most disappointing pizzas I’ve had in a long while. Sorry to be harsh, had it have been cheaper I’d say fair enough but the price point vs quality and size of product is so far off.

We were greeted and served by Shaun, who provided friendly excellent service and engaged with us for information re: the local hike around the lake, most helpful. Began with a good mezza plate then had Greek veg pizza, very nice. The ambiance was rather calm and not noisy, which we appreciated. Would definitely return!

Cheap ingredients, overpriced, poor quality pizza. Stay away.

Had a takeaway after a long day walking. It really hit the spot 😋

I very rarely leave poor reviews and not one to complain however the takeaway pizza we had from here was truly awful. Somehow managing to be the most ludicrously expensive and worst we’ve ever had. The pizza base was worse than frozen smart price pizza, zero woodfired taste, it was like a giant water biscuit. The tomato sauce seemed to just be pure passata with no seasoning or herbs and was overwhelmingly sour. Honestly the first time we’ve not managed to finish a pizza. If your business has Pizza in the name you need to be absolutely nailing it, but sadly was a VERY expensive disappointment. Just to add no issues with the friendly service we received when collecting.

Good place to eat, food good was a bit expensive but while in Keswick we ate there on 3 occasions

We stumbled across this lovely restaurant by chance on a day trip to Keswick . The pizzas were lovely -very thin and crispy with lots of toppings and the wine a reasonable price. Our waitress was attentive and looked after us well - we will definitely return .

Pizza was ok, poor customer service.

Now our third or fourth visit here, which makes it one of our favourite restaurants and let's not forget we live 320 miles away. Great atmosphere, lovely team and beautiful food, just go!

Great service. Best pizza crust I had in a long time....thin base..👌

Ordered and collected a pizza from here - service was fine and the staff friendly but the pizza itself I’m sorry to say was absolutely dreadful. Similar to frozen oven pizza but somehow worse? Base was like ryvita biscuit, sauce bland, and the cheese on top burnt into a thick layer. We only ordered margaritas so hard to mess that up this badly - especially a place that claims to have wood fired pizza? Garlic sauce was ok so there was that at least. Overall pizza that would make Jesus weep - save yourself the money (it’s not cheap! 16 quid a pizza!) and get in a couple of Dr Oetkers.

Great little find tasty gluten-free pizza takeaway Quick service and staff were very helpful

We ordered a number of takeaway Pizza’s one Gluten Free. I have to say no of us enjoyed them. All commented how dry they were. The crust resembled cardboard with toppings. My real disappointment is that if your prices should match the quality of food you’re selling. Our experience fell well short.

Overall meh. Pizza was fine but I'm a bit disappointed as it is a pizza restaurant. The base kind of fell apart and the sauce could've been store bought. My girlfriend enjoyed her gluten free pizza! And my friend seemed to really enjoy the spaghetti.

I expected a bit more for £13.80 than a frozen burger and freezer fries, no onion neither

Came here years ago and loved it, and a friend recently visited and said it was ‘the best pizza he’s ever eaten’, so we came back whilst on our holiday despite the hugely inflated prices on the menu. I’m comparing prices not only to my home county but also other similar restaurants in Keswick - Woodstone is a good 25% more expensive. £9.80 for a cheesy garlic bread of 5 small slices for example, and it was really nothing special. Pizzas were average at best. Very limited starters menu. No desserts offered at all. When I said I’d like to take the leftovers home in a box I was hastily given the empty box to do it myself at the table, rather than them take it to the kitchen to box for me like in every other place I’ve ever had the same situation. And only one box between 3 of us with slices left. But the biggest issue was the service. Really inattentive and didn’t come to see if our food was okay, or see if we wanted any more drinks than those offered before our starters. Pointed to our seats at the start rather than taken to them, and barely even glanced up for their personal chat as we left. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place any more. If you want a good pizza with great service, go a couple of doors along to The Square Orange instead.

We usually love this pizza restaurant but were really disappointed with the service today. We booked a week in advance and instead of the usual warm welcome we were greeted by a grumpy waiter, the first words being that he needed the table back for another booking later in the evening so we had to be quick. The food was good but the evening felt very rushed and we felt like a massive inconvenience to the staff, who clearly didn’t want us there. The food wasn’t cleared until 30 minutes after we finished eating and when we asked to see dessert menus we were only given the ice cream menu, presumably as they needed the table back within the next 10 minutes. As mentioned, the food was , but the grumpy staff and the feeling of being rushed will put us off returning again.

We arrived very late in the evening and had the most amazing pizzas. Thank you for fitting us in, as we were starving. Very friendly staff and very welcoming tio

Best authentic pizza I've had in ages. I loved the artwork on the walls too 😊

Great Stone Baked Pizza. Had the Chilli Beef Pizza, amazing flavour and great Pizza - highly recommended.

We arrived, without a booking, at about 8:45 on a Wednesday evening. Had to wait about fifteen minutes for a table to become available. The staff were friendly and helpful, and kept apologising for the wait. When we were seated we ordered our pizzas and our liquid refreshments, and we enjoyed both. We will definitely visit again, even if we are only on a day trip!

Delicious pizza and friendly staff. Very welcoming with children. We were looking for a restaurant and happened to overhear someone say they were going to, "the best pizza place in Keswick". After eating there ourselves we think the same.

l had lunch today with my husband an my son in Keswick branch. Oh, dear, what a disappointment! We all ordered pizza. From the first bite the dominant taste was the sour tomato sauce. pizza was unsalted, the dough was thin and crispy like a cracker, no oregano flavour. the price for this sea food 12 inches pizza is £18.50!!! I do not think the dough is freshly made on the site, feels and looks like a prebaked tortilla flat thin bread. My husband's and my sons had the same complaints. The place was clean and nice and the girl serving us was nice, but the baking guy was unfriendly and rude. l will never eat there again, sorry!

The pizza looks and tastes like a frozen pizza. £18 for a 12 inch of flavorlessness. Awful.

Really good pizza, but of course English style. Very nice service. Definitely a recommendation for us.

8.15 booking, 2 kids and a dad had a really lovely meal. Kids enjoyed picking their own toppings, they said excellent pizza. I did bolognese was very good.

Pizza okay - fairly anglicised and not by any means authentic. Good for a quick and easy lunch but wouldn't revisit

I'm on a solo trip walking in the Lakes, fancied a pizza so called in at Woodstone on the of chance of getting a single table. They were happy to fit me in, so long as I gave the table back in 45 mins. No problem as I had already checked the menu out. I got a half & half pizza of their two hottest choices. Pizza arrive in 10 mins which left me plenty of time to eat it. Lovely service and atmosphere. Pizza was super fresh and tasty.

Great pizza, nice staff, had a great time!

We have been here numerous times over the years, from the price increases when they opened the Penrith branch to a level now you expect better service for the price. They used to be a cleapish eat now it is £17 for a 12" pizza. Anyway, the pizza is good but the service was lacking. I did think the numerous signs in the toilets for not vaping were a bit OTT. The kids and grandchild was fed and were happy.

Great service, but I didn't think the pizzas were great. The bases were bit too thin and crispy - not an authentic experience, despite the real pizza oven.

Great service. Good food. Nice atmosphere. Good value.

We love to visit Woodstone everytime we go to Keswick ....which is a lot! We went last night and it was great, the waitress was really friendly and attentive. The food arrived i had the chicken kebab my son had the lamb one and my hubbie a pizza oh and we shared a garlic bread for a starter. Fabulous food really tasty!! We have never been disappointed. We are already booked in for August.

As always excellent service from Elmira and excellent food. We always come here every time we come to Keswick and would recommend it. Good value for money x

Party of 10 split over two tables due to pre-booking 15 minutes apart, not a problem Table of four opted for two home cooked chicken burgers and one cheeseburger and a mixed grill kebab The chicken burger advertised is Home cooked chicken burger with salad and fries and choice of sauce. What turned up was pitiful the skimpiest piece of chicken in a smaller than average bun with a piece of lettuce slice of tomato and a slice of red onion and a handful of French fries. We asked where the side salad was only told it was in the bun and have you run out of chips? Response was the salad is in the bun and the portion fries is our normal portion Cheeseburger came out as a chicken burger and had to be sent back. friend had to wait another 15 minutes for the correct order mix kebab for the Price is very shy of meat we were asked was the Meal ok ? The response was No!l The waiter replied. I’m very sorry, but because you have eaten it all there is nothing we can do. When you’ve been on the fells all day, you work up an appetite of course we had we’re all starving Other friends all ordered pizzas and again for the Price small pizzas and shy of toppings Overall overpriced and poor portions Previous night we ate at the Royal Oak and it was outstanding well presented fantastic portion size value for money exactly the same at Casabella. Italian Resturant around the corner. To the owners you need to up your game as your competition is much better, I I would advise anyone thinking of booking check out other restaurants

Good location, good decor , steak fine, staff a little strange. Convenient if you are in the centre of Keswick. Not cheap. Wouldn't rush back here.

Pizza: tastes like those frozen pizza you can get from a grocery store. Very bad. Spaghetti Bolognese: it was soggy, sour, seems like it’s been frozen for few days. Meat was so burnt, frozen chips of course. There is a girl staff who was super unfriendly, blocked the entrance to count the bills, ignored us after we payed the bill

Average at best, for £70 for 3 takeaway pizzas they were dry and didn’t taste all that fresh. Nothing wrong with it but certainly not worth the money, it was just an average takeaway pizza.

A+ pizza, end of story. Came out quick right from a real pizza oven, was very fresh, and very very tasty. Toppings to cheese to sauce ratio was spot on. Crust was delicious and crispy, we had thin crust but other styles are available. Toppings were meaty and plentiful and well distributed, not to mention you're allowed 5 different toppings on a build-your-own pie. I have to strongly recommend you give this pizza a go.

Nice pizzas. I felt they are a little overpriced for a 9" pizza and the kids meal at £11 is also too much

Great food. Shame they let dogs in 🤷‍♂️ why? It's a restaurant?

My friends and I hobbled to Woodstone in Keswick after a long day walking the Cumbria Way (not sure we could have made it much further that day!) The staff were a genuine pleasure to interact with, my pizza was exceptional (and very welcome) and the premises was clean, spacious and comfortable. Happy to say I will definitely be visiting again!

The staff were not very friendly. The girl acted like she was disgusted I asked if they had Peach gin (obvs never heard of it) the pink gin that came out was so bad I couldn't drink it. My husband made himself drink his larger. The kids portions were large (chicken nuggets) the Bolognese was a hit with my older boy (he had a grown up portion) My cannelloni was a small portion and the salad had the butt end of the lettuce as a big chunk in it. My husband's pizza was ok. Overall not great. One of my kids really liked it.

The food is delicious, but most of the service staff are not friendly. Occasionally one or two is not bad

The pizzas were good. Friendly staff. Nice place for families and friends. Parking is a bit tricky.

I asked for a bbq pizza and she gave me a pepperoni pizza what and absolute joke I’m pissed off

Staff were friendly and the food was hot. I am not a fan of pizzas so I went for a pasta bake, and it was excellent, very tasty.

Excellent pizza and even better service. Most enjoyable experience - dine here - you won’t regret it.

Burger is good but overpriced, pizza is good. I did not enjoy being in a table at the centre of the dinning room when dining on my own.

We arrived just as they had opened, so it was very quiet, however the pizza was treat, as was tge service

Slow service, pizza was tasty but not incredible. Expensive for what it is.

Pizza was amazing, would 100% recommend and come back again!

Just do it… stop looking and book this - best pizza we have had in a while with friendly staff and a perfect vibe! Definitely made our weekend in Keswick! Make sure to book!

Pizzas are delicious. Can do half and half if you can’t decide on toppings. Chicken for the pizza and kebabs is halal. Really friendly staff and lovely restaurant. Would recommend visiting

The staff were lovely and welcome! the pizza here was a top-notch and was baked inside wood-fire oven, the smell was SOO good. Various dipping sauce for the grill and the pasta was delicious as well!

We had the pasta and it was really good. Staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful and accommodating to our 3 year old making her feel welcome and giving me one of my first real stress free dinners out as a Mum.

Tried the spinach and ricotta cannelloni which was absolutely fantastic authentically cooked in the pizza oven. Nice choice of pizzas on the menu and the staff are very friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend if you are visiting Keswick and it is reasonably priced. The garlic bread with tomato is superb 👌

Overpriced for extremely average food. We were sadly disappointed with our food. The pizza didn’t taste woodfired and the steak was tough.

Delicious! We enjoyed our meal here very much. We ordered garlic "bread" and cheese, more like a cheese pizza, very good. One of us had a pizza, the other cannelloni. The cannelloni was absolutely wonderful. Perfectly cooked. Pizza good, too. Nice wine list. Excellent service, very friendly.

Really, really good, enjoyed it

Very, very average pizza for the price. I have had better supermarket pizza. My advice, go elsewhere if you care about pizza.

Great pizza outlet, knocks spots off of pizza express, I guess that's why they are know where to be seen.

A nice place but was very quiet and food was average

We went here whilst on holiday in the area. We were greeted with friendly staff who were attentive throughout our meal. The pizzas were delicious and piping hot. The food was a reasonable price and it was quick service.

Very very very tasty. There is so much love and attention that I write recommendations while eating)))) I already want city guests to pay attention to this place.

Don't know if this place has changed hands or something. Pizza bases looked frozen and all the same. VERY EXPENSIVE for basic below average food. Shame really was nice last year don't know what's happened. Also it's like you book and you still have to wait 20 mins for a table? Not sure why. Won't be returning unfortunately.

We got a takeout pizza and burger and both were excellent. Recommended. The restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night so we were worried it’d take ages but they quickly got it ready for us to come back and collect.

Decided on a burger when we went for pizzas, was not disappointed!

This was our third Easter weekend visit. The staff were great as always but the quality had dropped. The prices were shocking. 6 ok 12" inch pizzas, 3 side salads (£7.50 each) and 3 chips with 6 drinks was £190! So that worked out at £31 pp for basically pizza, you pay less in Leeds City Centre.

Very expensive for what it is, to be honest. 12-inch pizza for close to £18, and all other stuff that we order was tiny. Food quality is very mediocre 😕 Will not be coming back.

What a great find. Fabulous food. Staff have a great sense of humour and are truly lovely 😍 Just to add been there tonight for a 2nd visit. Staff just the same. Take time out with you. Food fantastic and exceptionally cooked Truly delightful xx

The staff were lovely ,but we were really shocked at the prices ! £15.90 for a 9 inch pizza . The basic Margarita was around £14 so just because we wanted a very small amount of veg and not meat on top it was two pounds extra . Sorry but we will never go back … The pizza for the size and the small amount of topping could have been around £10-11 maximum

Able to provide me with GF pizza.

We had Christmas Eve dinner here and the food was simply amazing! We had already visited the pizza and grill twice before when we were in Keswick, and it never disappointed. The place is small and cosy, and we would definitely visit again for its great food and lovely atmosphere.

Great quality pizza, thin crust, crispy and plenty of cheese 👍

Over a few days visited both the Keswick and Penrith restaurants.. Can't fault either of these places, food excellent, nicely presented, good portions. Staff very friendly and helpful. Probably one of the best meals I've had eating out. 👍

Again I can’t praise this restaurant enough! Steak done to perfection.. could taste every morsel on the plate .. staff very attentive! Great meal

Lovely , fresh & thin pizza base . I’ve been coping for years always been the same 10/10 . Keep up the good work

Pizza did taste good however the 'spinach' should really be called the 'ham' because there was more ham than spinach which was really there only for decoration

Started with the garlic bread which was awful a really small plate and had no flavour, didn’t even get any side plates or asked how the food was! had the pizza and well thick and greasy had better from Sainsbury’s!!!! Also overpriced

We visited last night. We were booked in for 5 pm but turned up at 4:30 as we had done a long walk and were starving. We were kindly accommodated. The girls serving us were lovely. The food was fantastic a thumbs up from all and we wished we had come earlier in the week. We will come again next time we are in Keswick. The chicken kabab and pizzas were amazing the garlic bread and fries were superb.

I've been to Wood Stone Pizza restaurant a number of times now over several years. It's a good pizza spot and you won't be disappointed. Read reviews about the base lacking depth and seasoning which is partly true, though, fresh ingredients make up for this.

We didn't sit in. Wanted a pizza but we had our dog with us. Stumbled upon this restaurant that did take out . Pizzas were delicious.

Food was poor quality - very expensive for what it is. Staff were pleasant and welcoming and atmosphere good.

Beautiful food after some hiking! Staff were very nice would really recommend.

We visited this restaurant with our dog on a cold night at the end of January. It’s quite expensive but our garlic bread and stone baked pizzas were excellent. Well worth a visit.

Pizzas are fantastic but frankly if you are going for something else on the menu you will get better value for money elsewhere. Nice atmosphere, nice staff but overpriced. Had the price matched the food/drink I would have given a much higher review rating. Pizzas are special, but everything else is very average. I wouldn’t pay the same money again, not with the other options available in the town.

Absolutely superb food, delicious and freshly cooked we loved it for our first visit
