Authentic Italian flavours – with a unique Belfast twist
The Times rounded up the ultimate list of the best pizzerias in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, offering everything from “Neapolitan to New York styles.”
Flout! and Pi Guy in Belfast and Scarpello in Derry were the three Northern Irish pizzerias, which were named among the best in the UK for 2024.
With each offering its own epic and unique flavours, there’s plenty of reason to check out every single one of these incredible spots.
What The Times had to say – a great reason to visit the north of Ireland
Ranking the three Northern Irish pizzerias among the best in the UK, The Times said Flout! is “a tiny pizzeria that is open eight hours a week and seats only six. It has, for a second year in a row, been ranked as one of Ireland’s top 100 restaurants.
“Peter Thompson and his team make seven styles of pizza, including Detroit and New York, as well as focaccia. Browse Flout!’s Instagram, and you’ll soon be planning a trip to Belfast.”
While you’re in Belfast, they urged, you should also make a trip to Pi Guy. Here, you can enjoy “XL super crispy pies, made with dough that has been cold-fermented for up to 72 hours.”
Finally, they wrote of Derry favourite Scarpello: “This charming pizzeria is run by husband-and-wife team Kemal and Rachel Scarpello.
“They serve traditional Neapolitan-style pizzas along with a brilliant selection of long-fermented breads and pastries from the bakery.”
