    THE *NEW MENU* lured us in. Food was really good. We shared the Veg Sparty (for 1-2) which was a generous portion and very tasty (amazing goats cheese) and healthy. Pizzas we had were Ortolana (the smoked cheese really made this) and the 'Leave Meat Alone' which they were happy to make non-vegan for me with dairy mozzarella. That one was really different, with a pesto base. Yum. The decor style I'd describe as 'derelict', reminiscent of the Fallout series of video games. Don't think it contrived- if you've ever attended a comedy festival gig in the upstairs rooms you'd know that this is one seriously water damaged building. That aside, the food here is great!

    Excellent pizza place. Came here last night and had a great meal. Amazing building. The goat cheese starter was divine and the pizza excellent. One small thing was they brought the starter with the pizza and I would have preferred the starter first alone.

    We held our 8 year olds birthday party at Peter Pizzeria today and it was fantastic. The food was amazing and the pizzas were made to perfection, it felt like we were in Italy again. The staff were superb, they were not phased with 10 loud little children running around. They all had so much fun playing games after their food. Miki was amazing in the run up to the party and helped with organising, the table was all set up before we arrived. Lots of our friends who were there were so surprised how they did not know about this gem of a place. The Chefs were so friendly and warm…they made the pizzas just how you like them. We cannot wait to go back again. I highly recommend the margherita and homemade lemonade. A huge thank you to the incredible staff 😊

    Amazing pizza! I would recommend booking a pizza making experience with these guys, but if it's just a quick bite, you will love peters pizza. Take a look at the retro wall art and the old school games available to play, this place is truly packed with character and is sure to ignite an air of nostalgia. Absolutely love it!

    I go Peter’s pizzeria at least once a month. It’s my go to place every time I want to eat from out! One of the best pizzas I tried. Quality is on point everytime and everything is so fresh. Introduced this place to so many people and will continue doing so! It’s my favourite ever. On top of that, amazing service by the staff. Especially Anthony, such an amazing person!

    Peter Pizzeria has been a long time favourite eatery for myself and my husband so it was no brainer to ask them to supply pizzas for our wedding celebration at a venue in Leicester city. And we were not disappointed!! Staff were incredibly helpful and did an amazing job of producing pizza after pizza in a short time frame. Our guests all commented on how amazing the pizza was - the food went down a storm! The staff also really looked after my husband while he was waiting in between batches and really went above and beyond, which was especially impressive given the heat of the day (30°C+).

    Four stars for Peter Pizzeria. It's my first time ever in the UK that I felt satisfied as a customer upon visiting a restaurant and here's why: 1. I'll start with the hygiene: it would have been much better if the forks and knives were covered but the tables, the floor and the see-through kitchen looked very clean. 2. The pizza, cooked in a wood oven, was very good and I rarely find a pizza with such finely made crust here in the UK. I'd recommend this pizza to everyone who wants to taste authentic Italian pizza. 3. The interior was a bit dark but I liked the artistic touch. It gives the place a lovely vibe. 4. The staff are very friendly and nice and they balance between the professional and friendly service which, again, I rarely notice in the UK. 5. The prices are reasonable and affordable for such delicious pizza. All in all, I think that visiting this Pizzeria will be a good decision if you are looking for a good pizza place in Leicester.

    I recently visited this pizzeria, and it was a mixed experience. The pizza was good, but not great, as I wasn't a fan of the cheese. Despite that, I still found it enjoyable. The beer selection impressed me, offering a great variety of options. The atmosphere was truly amazing, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. While the pizza didn't fully meet my expectations, the overall experience was positive, thanks to the fantastic beer, wonderful atmosphere, and the pleasant demeanor of the staff. I would consider returning for another try.

    Lovely place with a big traditional pizza oven in the main room and some alternative semi industrial decor. Pizzas great quality, though they could improve the sides. Definitely one of the top three pizza places in town and great to enjoy at home too.

    Best pizza ever, they never disappoint. My favorite is the old 3- the hint of pistachio takes it to a next level of delicious. I also had a Nutella pizza dessert with was delicious. They have tasty wines as well. The atmosphere is cozy. It’s a pity I didn’t take any pics - next time for sure.

    Hands down, one of the best pizzas I have had in a long time. Highly recommend 👌

    A really nice atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. It is a fun place and the food was very good. We ordered the goats cheese toast but they had run out of that cheese so they offered to use a replacement cheese. The toast came out a little burnt but that could have been because of the replacement cheese. Pizza was excellent!

    Peter pizza is hands down our favourite pizza place. Fast and fun loving staff. The prices are great, the ingredients are always high quality with great selection, the service is fantastic and the pizza itself is perfect. I love being able to swap my own mix of toppings. This location always has a great atmosphere and it is in a great location.

    Very nice lunch stop for a fresh pizza and bruschetta, followed up by a homemade lemonade, good food and good service , if you like proper pizza , get yourself a table .

  • 5/5 Abbie M. 4 months ago on Google
    One of the nicest pizzas i’ve had in so long, tasted absolutely amazing and the service was so quick. I had the Viva La Salsiccia (without the gorgonzola and meat) and it was divine. I had a selection of sauces with the crust too (chilli honey, aioli and truffle mayo) would recommend them all apart from the chilli honey as it was just too sweet for me! Would go again! Great value for money, great staff and great food (Also the bill came in a cute dinosaur)

    My daughter and I are huge pizza fans and drove from Corby one Saturday lunchtime, having read online reviews for Peter Pizzeria. Unfortunately, even though we arrived just as the place was opening, we weren’t able to get a seat in the restaurant as the entire ground floor was booked for a children’s birthday party. We were a little surprised and disappointed by this, and a member of staff suggested that we should have called ahead to confirm availability. So, we ordered two pizzas to take out, (Diavola from memory) and went and sat on the steps in the foyer to eat. The pizza was good, not the best we’ve eaten, but certainly better than the big chains. As we sat on the steps, a number of people walked past us on the way into the restaurant, only to exit soon afterwards having been told the same as us. The staff were friendly, the premises nice and quite quirky (an old office building of some sort) and the food was ready in around 5 minutes. So, mixed feelings… food was good, not great. Premises good. Decision to hold a child’s birthday party on a Saturday lunchtime, questionable.

    Visited this place a while back on my work trip. Staff was very friendly and interior was cosy. Pizza was amazing. Best Ive eaten in UK and great wine.

  • 5/5 Dani 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious stone-baked pizza. Staff is wonderful, great atmosphere and music! Pizzas are well priced for how good they are

  • 5/5 Greg M. 1 year ago on Google
    What a find! Eclectic mix of decor, diners, furniture, loos and very polite, attentive but not intrusive staff. This eatery has a great vibe to match the fabulous pizzas and starters. Goat cheese, mayo, lemon oil and honey on toast, Lush! Deffo worth a visit and worth every star.

    Was a surprise receive these amazing pizzas and amazing customer care for a great price. This place is gold. The staff is one of the best and the stone oven pizzas are made very nice with different options of flavours that the typical you can find in any pizzeria.

  • 5/5 Kev B. 1 year ago on Google
    First visit here, very good food and service. Unusual decor but good. Price are very good and as expected, however soft drinks a little over priced. All in good evening and will go again.

    A really quirky and interesting building that serves up some affordable and tasty pizzas.

  • 5/5 Ian D. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff a great pizza would highly recommend giving it a try

  • 4/5 craig m. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing pizza. Once you eat this then it ruins home bought pizza forever. Also very reasonable in price considering the quality. Took my kids here for dinner and they also really enjoyed it and were facinated by the movie posters. My only issue is that the staff seemed like they didn't want to be there. Which given the heat and having a pizza oven going I do kinda get. Our server was pretty bad too. The brand seems fun and friendly but he seemed to struggle. But it was early on in the evening and if be willing to go back and try again.

  • 5/5 james P. 1 year ago on Google
    Have been twice now and love this place. The decor is quirky and cool. The staff friendly. The pizza is quality authentic simple pizza and is reasonably priced. What's not to love about a place that has free table football and delivers your food bill in the mouth of a plastic dinosaur. If I designed a pizza place this is how it would be.

  • 5/5 Muna 1 year ago on Google
    Parking is possible either at The Sue Towsend theatre or the NCP which is across the road from the pizzeria. It's a bit of a pain but worth it. The building inside is quirky and fun. The pizzas are freshly made in an open kitchen and cooked in a proper pizza oven. Absolutely delicious. Great service and well priced. I recommend the Peterella!!! Chocolate pizza, yum!!
