Pizza Umami Newcastle

"We drive from Downpatrick to Newcastle regularly to get a couple of pizzas and a gluten free pizza. Pizzas are fantastic including the gluten free original recipe base.. recommended!"

"One of the best pizzas we’ve had in a long time! Flavours and topping combinations are amazing. Really friendly staff and fantastic value for money, especially compared to the same type of pizza places in Belfast."

"What an unreal establishment. The food, amazing. The staff, more than helpful. Gerard and Michelle done their utmost to make sure I was happy with my selection of food. I wasn't sure what I wanted so they asked what sort of food I was into and came up with the yummiest pizza and garlic bread ever. Iv never tasted pizza like I did in Italy but this was like proper Italian pizza. From the base to the sauce to the toppings. If I could give 10 stars I would. An establishment to b proud off!! Well done guys!"

"Just after the nicest Pizza and garlic bread I have ever tried in my life, this place is a hidden gem. This place has to be tried! The staff are lovely, Michelle is a legend. Defo have a new regular customer"

"I had the “7 Margarita pizza. It’s a good one to test the quality due to its simplicity. The crust was very light and airy, crispy, and had proper leopard spotting. The sauce was tangy and a little excessive in quantity to my liking. The cheese was good but could have more flavor. They also chose to cook the basil under the cheese (as opposed to adding afterwards due to reduce the risk of burn.) This decision was a good one. It’s rare to find a true sourdough pizza. They stated they fermented for 48-72 hours, and you could tell as the crust developed a flavor, color, and lightness hard to achieve. My suggestion would be to ferment longer as another day would develop more flavor but this is expensive to accomplish given the need for extra inventory and refrigeration. To my taste the rust could use more salt, and my guess is that they were at 1-1.5 wt% salt at most. I prefer a higher level of saltiness at 2.2-3 %wt. This little shop grew out of a food truck and the kitchen still resembles one of time efficiency. Seating is only outdoors on the sidewalk. Delivery is also an option. The price was only £4.5 which to me was low considering the quality."
