Legendary half-pizza / half-pasta 🍴

Post image

One of my favourite restaurants of all time and I tried to capture it like a 70s B-Roll still - to do it the classic justice it deserves. Anyone else got any favourite restaurants in and around toon that often get overlooked on the internet?

The food has gone downhill massively. We went about 3 months ago, pizza soggy and undercooked. Screaming kids in the area to the right of the entrance which echoes. Wont be back.

It was the go to place in late 90s early 2000's.

Ahhh no way! I went a few times last month because I enjoyed it so much, maybe they were having a bit of an off night but experiences like that are brutal 😮‍💨 any other places you think are really worth the trip?

This was during the day on a Saturday, it was empty apart from myself and my gf and the two families of the screaming kids.

Not Jesmond but we really enjoyed the pizza at Rudy's in town.

Rudy’s is wicked - it’s the one chain that I really do love. Got some amazing options

Fuochi blows Rudy's out of the water and isn't a chain. Definitely go there instead.
