Best restaurant pizza

Dd and I are going out for a pizza tonight, we’ve got a few good independents round here but one is closed, one is tiny and one is full!
So we are left with some chains. She really fancies a pizza, I’ve been on MJ for months and haven’t eaten pizza at all so I want it to be a really good one. Hit me up with the best pizza restaurants you know of please! We’ve got quite a few in a driveable radius, which is your favourite?
ps this is not secretly market research 😂 getting dd to make a decision is impossible and I don’t want to go out for a pizza only to be disappointed!!

Does Rudy’s have enough branches to be considered a chain now? If so, Rudys 😁

LittleRedRidingHoody · 21/01/2025 18:08

Pizza Pilgrims is fab, or Homeslice if you're in London 😋

TheChosenTwo · 21/01/2025 18:41

I’ve never heard of rudy’s so probably not one near me but I’ll look, thanks.
Sadly we are bit too far out for pizza pilgrims as that is one good pizza 😂

Ahh Rudy’s are either London or north of here. I’m on the Surrey/Hants border! Shame but we’ll persevere in the quest for a great pizza.

I take it Monte Forte in Farnham is one of the ones you wanted to go to?

If not, try there.

L'Osteria are closest to proper Italian pizzeria pizzas for me.

TheChosenTwo · 21/01/2025 18:47

@MissScarletInTheBallroom funnily enough dd went there last week not long after it had opened! She said it was okay, a bit stodgy 🫣

Any pubs that have a pizza truck near to you?

WickWood · 21/01/2025 18:56

I don't know because I'm nowhere near you, but I'm curious as to which one you're trying 😂

We’ve looked, none within about 15 miles - I don’t mind driving 15 miles to a nice place but not to just sit in the car and eat pizza 😂
Anyway, in a complete about turn we have decided to drive to the coast and get wrapped up, walk along the promenade and find somewhere for fish and chips!!
She’s had a really rough day and we could probably both do with it.
dh and ds are on a boys night out and the other dc is at work so it’s just the 2 of us.

Well I hope you’re not disappointed that we’ve changed plans 😂

Not at all (as long as you also get curry sauce) that sounds amazing!! Enjoy both of you x

Ellopal · 21/01/2025 21:15

Hope you enjoyed OP and that it cheered your DD up!

TheChosenTwo · 21/01/2025 21:28

Thanks, had a lovely blowy walk along the seafront and even a very dark chilly paddle. Enjoyed our fish and chips (absolutely no curry sauce for either of us!!) and we are just about to head back.
Dd has had a good evening and seems a lot more cheery and optimistic after a good chat and a walk.

If you’re looking for a solid chain option, I’d recommend checking out the Mod Pizza menu. They make really good customizable pizzas so everyone can get exactly what they want. I’ve tried a few independents and love them too, but when choices are limited, Mod is usually a safe bet without the disappointment factor
