Little Italy By Stefano

Little Italy by Stefano is an authentically pitched Italian pizzeria on Hedon Road, stone-baking its pizzas on fresh daily-made dough with 100% mozzarella and quality toppings. On Just Eat it holds a 4.6 out of 6 from 1,787 reviews — a strong rating for east Hull — and on Facebook it scores 4.6 from 48 reviews. TripAdvisor reviewers call it "best authentic pizza around" with a "chewy pizza base" and "superb quality ingredients."

The website at littleitalybystefano.co.uk takes direct orders. The chef-owner Stefano's name on the door is a mark of individual pride in the product — this is an owner-operated kitchen rather than an impersonal brand. Hedon Road runs eastward from the city centre docks towards Marfleet and Bilton Grange, and Little Italy has built a following well beyond the immediate HU9 1 catchment. A genuine Italian takeaway in a market dominated by multi-cuisine independents.
