Great Yarmouth's Pizza Paradise: A Local's Guide

When you're visiting Great Yarmouth, after a long day at the beach or exploring the Norfolk Broads, sometimes all you crave is a delicious, comforting pizza. Luckily, Great Yarmouth has several fantastic options to satisfy your pizza cravings. As a local, I'm here to share my top picks for the best pizza in town, all conveniently located near the St George Hotel.

Classic Italian Flavours

If you're looking for a traditional Italian experience, La Piazza on Regent Road is a must-try. Their pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired oven, giving them a wonderfully smoky flavour and perfectly crispy crust. They use high-quality ingredients, and their Margherita is a classic for a reason. Expect a bustling atmosphere and friendly service. Don't forget to try their tiramisu for dessert!

Another great option for classic Italian is Pasta Mia. While they are known for their pasta dishes, their pizzas are equally delicious. They offer a wider range of toppings than La Piazza and are a great place to go for something a little different. Their 'Diavola' pizza with spicy salami is a particular favourite.

Modern Pizza Creations

For a more modern take on pizza, head to The New Beach Hotel, which is a short walk along the seafront from the St George Hotel. Their restaurant offers stunning sea views and a creative pizza menu. They often have specials with locally sourced ingredients. Their pizzas are known for their thin, crispy bases and innovative toppings. If you are visiting during the day then why not pop in for a spot of lunch before you head to the beach which is a stone’s throw away!

Pizza on the Go

Sometimes you just need a quick and easy pizza to enjoy on the beach or back in your room at the St George Hotel. For takeaway options, Domino's Pizza and Papa John's both have branches in Great Yarmouth. While they might not be the most authentic Italian experience, they are reliable choices for a quick and affordable pizza. They both offer delivery services as well. These are ideal after a long day at the Pleasure Beach.

Pizza with a View

For a pizza experience with a view, consider The Prom Hotel. Their restaurant overlooks the sea and offers a relaxed atmosphere. While their menu isn't exclusively pizza, they offer a selection of delicious pizzas with a variety of toppings. It's a great place to enjoy a pizza while watching the sunset over the North Sea.

Family-Friendly Pizza Places

If you're traveling with kids, Frankie & Benny's is a great option. They have a dedicated kids' menu with smaller pizzas and plenty of other options to keep everyone happy. The atmosphere is family-friendly and the service is usually quick and efficient.
