    Amazing little place. Authentic Italian pizza cooked in a traditional pizza oven right in front of you. The pizzas are reasonably priced and large in size. Friendly staff, warm atmosphere - just a really lovely place. I'll definitely be back. If you're eating in, expect a bit of a wait, it's a small place and extremely popular, however Pizzas are also available to take away!

    Holy moly! Had this pizza at their Baltic Market location and it was AMAZING. They use 00 flour for their handmade dough, and it really shows

    My absolutely favorite pizza in Liverpool. I love their vegan pizzas for amazing sauces. Most places use bad quality vegan cheese on pizza. In little Furnace they just use sauce and it taste so good.

    Our first time here trying their Neapolitan pizza, it was very tasty, good flavours and fresh, fair prices aswell. I like the way they prepare it it's very proper and traditional, they use a fire oven with wood which gives a particular taste, delicious. Only thing I wished is that they put some herbs into the tomato sauce, its plain tomatoes, but I guess that's their style.

    Such a lovely cosy place! The pizza was just as good (if not better) than Rudy’s, which I thought was impossible until now ;)

    Great fresh food, made in a wood fired pizza oven. The restaurant is cosy and casual, and they also offer takeaway. Service is quick and very friendly. Food is made fresh with high quality ingredients. Prices are reasonable and there is usually an offer on for lunch. Well worth visiting.

    Reading the reviews I was expecting a tasty, authentic Italian wood fired pizza. Instead, the dough was not great and the ham was certainly not an Italian ham. An average pizza especially if you have tasted a pizza in Italy before.

    The food was alright, but service was definitely not. Got our food and were then ignored by the staff for the next 45 mins when trying to get drinks/the bill. It’s not a large place so this was blatantly intentional. They avoided eye contact and ignored us speaking to them and trying to flag them down. Then after we rushed out as we were running late due to the whole ordeal we realized we’d been overcharged by £10!!

    Ordered from deliveroo, I thought the pizza was a touch on the pricy side but I didn't mind if the quality would be good. But it arrived cold I mean freezing cold. It looked amazing! The taste was bland the dough was definitely undercooked having eaten the real thing in Italy, I know this should have had a crispy base. The flovour was also very poor. I hate giving bad reviews has I know how this could effect a buisness but come on guys it was almost zero effort cold food and the guy walked up my street did he walk all the way from your shop?? I will say the garlic bread we ordered was a solid thre out of five.

    Absolutely lovely little place, servers and cooks were really nice. Got to be the best pizza I've ever tried! Will be back!

    We placed an order for 23 people for delivery on Friday 18th August. The team were excellent and very helpful. All the food arrived on time and was hot. Everyone was very complimentary about the pizzas which were delicious. There is a lot of choice in the menu including lots of options for vegetarians and vegans. Would highly recommend - thank you!

    Start to finish the experience was great. The food was lovely and the service was friendly and quick. We dropped in and ordered a takeaway but still could not fault the visit. Will definitely go back for either a takeaway or even sit in an see if they can surpass the 1st experience

    Great pizza, great service. One of the best pizzas we have had

  • 5/5 Nicholas U. 1 year ago on Google
    Pizzas were great, was so cool to see them being made right in front of you as well! Staff were super nice too :) only thing, tho not really an issue was that the seats were a little uncomfortable

  • 5/5 Chris M. 9 months ago on Google
    Brilliant pizzas and friendly staff. We ordered takeout and were asked to return in 15 minutes, spot on.

  • 5/5 Danielle J. 11 months ago on Google

    I must have tried every "proper" pizza place in Liverpool by now, and I can comfortable say that Little Furnace (Smithdown Rd) is the best one by far. The pizza has consistently been amazing every time (authentically cooked fresh inside a massive pizza oven) , and the servers have been nothing short of helpful. Always filling whatever request we have. The restaurant itself is a little awkward to get to by car as it sits on a busy main road, but the little residential side roads have unrestricted parking. Inside is a little cramped with there only being a select few booths to sit in, but in my opinion this adds to the overall atmosphere and reminds me of a small pizza place in Naples. I have to add that the Little Furnace in the Baltic Market has nothing on the actual restaurant and I implore anyone wanting to try Little Furnace to skip the market and go proper at the Smithdown Road venue.

    Wow Please Neapolitan pizza outside Naples! Lucky we got a taste! Good job! Forgot to take a photo of the pizza

  • 5/5 Alfie G. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely top-notch service and food. After a bit of a nightmare with the Deliveroo system, the staff at Little Furnace were more than helpful in aiding us resolve the issue and providing us with 11 pizzas, despite being extremely busy. They truly went above and beyond in their service. Oh, and the food was amazing too. Best pizza in Liverpool! Couldn’t recommend this place more 👏🏼

    Wonderful pizza. Great little place and staff are great too. 5*

  • 5/5 Amanda P. 1 year ago on Google
    Once again; restaurant standard. Arrived in a timely manner and holey moley!! Was immense. I ordered one of the vegan pizzas. Was loaded with salted aubergine and brocolli. Added a request for extra vegan "mozzarella" which they obliged and piled on. My friend ordered a margerita..he was suitably impressed - and he's a chef! One of the best pizzas around Liverpool. Awesome. Five stars 🌟

    The Little Furnace is a little gem on Smithdown Road. Staff all very friendly and the roasting wood burning hot pizza oven at the back gives it a great atmosphere. It does get hot, so maybe sit closer to the door (and air con) if you aren't a fan of the heat! I had the Sicilian Death Wish and it was very tasty, I would have enjoyed a bit more spice, but I'm sure it's spicy enough for others.
