The Best Pizza in Bristol: Our Top 5 Picks
Pizza’s appeal is truly worldwide, with many a different take on the Italian classic, and every place seeming to claim that THEY do it best. These are our top five in Bristol.
Pizzarova
Various locations (including their original Land Rover!)
Pizzarova's story began in the back of a Land Rover (hence the name), following a trip by co-founders Jack and Alex to Glastonbury festival. They brought the landy, fitted a wood fired pizza oven and toured the south west, developing the beloved sourdough recipe along the way. Since day one, they have prioritised good ingredients and great people… and 4 shops later, that’s still what matters most. Every pizza begins with their signature 70 year old sourdough, hand-made with care. Just flour, water, salt and a live starter. They firmly believe their success comes from sourcing local ingredients and working with brilliant suppliers.

Back Garden Pizzeria
35 St Stephens Street, Bristol, BS1 1JX
Local hero Danny Saville, who worked as the head chef for Prego when the pandemic hit, started Back Yard Pizzeria from (as the name suggests) his garden as “a bit of a hobby and a bit of fun”. Selling pizzas to my mates via a “Party Pizza Line” WhatsApp group quicky evolved into a city-wide pizza delivery service. What started out as collection only, evolved to delivering around 60 pizza’s a night across Bristol. With business booming Back Yard Pizzeria has now deservedly moved to a permanent location in the heart of Bristol city centre.
The menu is inspired by the authentic flavors of Neapolitan cuisine, made with carefully sourced ingredients and a passion for traditional Italian cooking. From signature wood-fired pizzas to fresh, vibrant small plates, everything is crafted to bring a taste of Naples to Bristol.
