I love the pizza here more than any pizza anywhere, and yes I'd include Italy. It's the dough / crust as the first winner, then it's the balance of flavours on each variety. Having a pleasant ale in the pub with the pizza just tops...it all off.More

The best pizzas we've had outside Italy 🇮🇹 - hands down! This rivals pizza we've had in Verona. Absolutely delicious! Enjoyed in the pub with a pint. What more could you want?

If you've seen the other reviews, you already know it's the best. And (writing June 2022) it still is; we're very lucky to have the pizza van pulling up twice a week near the southwestern arms. My wife and I grab a pizza there maybe...once a fortnight (I'd love to visit more often but my waistline won't allow!). Friendly, fun & very talented pizza artesans with years of experience (and it shows!). Tips are: get there early as it's often popular and there can be a long wait - don't let that put you off (hop in the pub for a pint while you wait), and do try something on the veggie side - the meaty pizzas are superb, but the veggie pizzas are just as good, and it's nice to mix it up and try different things.More

Lovely meal and drinks on a friday evening. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, drinks are great and food delicious. They made a fuss of our 7 month old baby which was so lovely and she had her first taste of pizza!

If you're going to walk 4.5 miles each way, for anything, especially on one of the hottest days of the year ... it's a prerequisite that the reason is going to be worth it. It was. 👍

Amazing fresh pizza, great local real ales and friendly staff. The wood fired pizzas are only about 8 inch but the quality is very good indeed. A real gem for those that don’t want whistles and braces

Yesterday evening I went with friends to Paddle and Peel for a pizza and a couple of drinks. I’ve always thought they served the best pizzas in Southampton and they didn’t disappoint, the pizzas are even better than I remember.. Paddle and Peel has a...lovely chilled ambience and is dog friendly so the prefect place to go if you don’t want to leave your furry friend behind.More

Popped in for a long overdue pizza fix. They were fully booked, but allowed me to sit at a table if I was really quick before the customers arrived. Excellent pizza!

Found this little place after reading reviews on TripAdvisor. I contacted them on Facebook and they were very responsive and polite. The place is situated in an industrial estate and have plenty of parking just outside. Pizza was great. A little on the small side...but fully loaded. Definitely would choose independent pizza place like this over a chain. Would recommend a visit.More

Difficult to find in interesting part of town, close to harbourside. I've lived in this area for years without knowing this was here. Pizza is hard to beat, service is excellent,served in boxes. Still something of a locals pub, nice mix of customers. New landlords...will probably improve some more on it's slightly frazzled charmMore

Not quite what we expected - very basic set-up, but really lovely people. Some board-games on a shelf behind us. Great beer and the most fantastic pizzas! Beware, nothing else that isn't pizza-based, if that's important to you. We had garlic bread for starters, various...pizzas for mains and then an amazing chocolate calzone (you get to chose your choc bars) for pudding ... thank goodness we only ordered one between four of us, though. Will definitely be back!!!More
