Pizza Napoli

Pizza Napoli sits on the long Front Street that runs through the village of West Auckland, a few miles south-west of Bishop Auckland itself and historically a separate settlement with its own green and pubs. The kitchen runs a wide pizza menu — over fifty named pies from the standard Margherita up to the house Zeno and Hot Shot — alongside the broader north-east takeaway repertoire of kebabs, burgers, wraps and southern fried chicken. Mixed-platter family deals (three twelve-inch pizzas plus chips and a bottle of pop) turn up regularly in aggregated review feedback as the reason the shop holds its weekend trade against the better-known town-centre operators. The delivery zone is unusually broad for a village takeaway, reaching across Bishop Auckland, Shildon, Heighington and the rural villages between West Auckland and Darlington within range. Online ordering runs through the shop's own site at pizza-napoli.co.uk and through Uber Eats. West Auckland's Front Street position keeps Pizza Napoli within a short walk of the village green and the cluster of pubs around the Eden Theatre, giving it a steady pre- and post-pub trade that is harder to come by in the more recently built villages around it.
