Pizza Pisa Authentic Italian Pizza

Pizza Pisa trades from the small parade on Abbey Street in the West End of Derby, pitching itself harder on the Italian end of the takeaway-pizza scale than most of its neighbours on this strip. It runs a wide menu of around 170 items — pizzas as the headline, with pasta dishes, calzones, garlic breads and a small starter section sitting alongside.

The pizza base is sold as authentic Italian and there are reviewer quotes calling them well-fired and cooked to order; the toppings list runs through the standard Italian-flag specials (margherita, marinara, capricciosa, quattro stagioni) as well as a sizeable house-special section that drifts into the meat-feast and BBQ chicken end of the spectrum. Pasta options sit at the cheaper end of the menu with the average dish around five pounds.

Customer reviews are mixed across platforms — Restaurant Guru sits in the high threes, with positive notes on the authenticity of the bases and negative notes on consistency at the busier end of the evening. The shop sits within walking distance of Derby Bus Station and parks at Becket Street are five minutes off; the trade is mostly collection and delivery across the West End and the inner ring road.
