I know that this place gets a lot of praise and awards, so I already had high expectations before my visit... However, those expectations were surpassed! The whole experience starts with the super friendly and efficient staff, making you feel very welcome. Following that, you get a glimpse of the exceptional and varied wine list which has some proper gems on there from all over Italy. I tried a couple of different ones, and both were exceptional. I should also pause at this point and reflect on the wonderful, rustic surroundings. Lots of natural wood and plants plus the lovely warming glow of the giant pizza oven. Now, onto the main event...the pizzas! Just one look at the menu and you know that they aren't messing around. Loads of choice of exceptional sounding pizzas. Nothing novelty or gimmicky, just quality traditional Italian pizzas. My wife had a marinara and I had a garlic mushroom, ham and ricotta number. Both of these were off the chart delicious! Two things I look for in a good pizza are a super stretchy and glutenous base and simple, exceptional tomato sauce and these were absolutely nailed! The toppings were simple and of the best quality. Honestly, this was a pizza to remember. We'll definitely be back. This place is worth all the awards it gets. Highly, highly recommended!

Had the crushed avocado myself (which was incredible) and my partner (coeliac) had a gluten free full English. Both absolutely satisfied and I cannot praise Breeze enough for being so helpful and accommodating with the gluten allergy! Will absolutely be visiting again - even if just for the rhubarb lemonade 😋
