We love good pizza, and even on a trip where we're focusing on local cuisine, if good pizza is available, we're willing to forego a meal of local culture to put it in our mouths. Black Isle Bar is located on Church Street, in the main couple of blocks stretch of bars and restaurants in the heart of Inverness. After a day out exploring Speyside whiskies, it was exactly what we needed for dinner. You order at the counter and find a table where they will deliver your food. The pizza menu has a handful of good vegetarian options, and there are plenty of beers on tap. My wife and I shared the Broccoli and Stilton pizza...It had a good, light, and chewy crust and overall good flavor, though I didn't taste much of the honey listed as one of the ingredients. We also shared a salad, which was quite fresh. They've got a nice rooftop garden-like seating area too (though it was too cold for us Californians to enjoy that space) Great pizza in a lively atmosphere with very friendly service. We'd definitely get it again if we were in Inverness.

The World Cup Game was on so it was lively and fun. I will tell you, this was some of the best seasoned food we had the entire time we were in the UK (two weeks). Finally we didn't feel the need to add salt to something. The flavor was just spot on. My husband had the beer steak pie with puff pastry, I had the Cullen skink, my son had a pizza (I can't remember if it was on the kids' menu or not) and my daughter had a Caesar salad with chicken, which she eats a lot at home and had been craving. Both the skink and the stew were perfectly flavored! The fish in the stew was tender and so was the steak in the pie. If we ever go back to Inverness, we will be sure to be returning to Johnny Foxes. Oh! And our waiter was wonderful! I don't remember his name but a young blonde man with a mullet kind of haircut. Thank you to him!

We had the pepperoni and Spicy beef pizzas and they were great! If you like thin crust, they were super . A little light on the cheese sonic you like lots of cheese and a thick crust, may not be your best choice. The reason for the rating is that it took us close to an hour to get our food. I'll take some heat as I should have spoke up earlier. Our waiter checked on us after about 40 minutes and was clearly distraught that we hadn't seen the food yet. About 15 minutes later, he came back and said it was almost ready. At the hour mark, I was ready to surrender and walk out. The manager showed up with the food, comped it and apologized for the mistake that he said he had made. All in all, still frustrating but the manager did his best to make it right. I would probably try another place first but the pizzas was great!

Great pizzas, quick service and prices could be a bit better…read more I wish they had more options in their menu like soups, more pasta options etc. Would definitely recommend it if you fancy some nice pizzas in Inverness. For a more authentic Italian with more options I would recommend Bella Italia. 4 pizzas plus soft drinks was around 61pounds which for me is a bit too much when it's only pizza. Can't complain about the flavors and quality though, that's why I give 4 starts. Would like to take 1 star and a half off them because of lack of options in the menu and price.. All the rest is spot on.

Everything was beautifully prepared and delicious. A real highlight of the evening was Paul, the owner, who graciously shared some of his knowledge of whisky as well as helpful travel suggestions for exploring the Highlands and Islands. His warmth and hospitality made us feel very much at home. Our waitress was perhaps a little less experienced and still developing the warm, polished manner that Paul demonstrated so naturally, but this was a minor note in an otherwise lovely evening. We would happily return.

I suspect my review would have been more glowing if my partner and I had ordered the salmon with aromatic rice and the burger which were both recommended. Instead we got: - wild mushroom linguine with chicken breast and pancetta - 3/5 since the dish arrived with only two visible mushrooms and no pancetta. It was a bit too cream forward for my taste and they did deliver some crisp pancetta when I asked but I definitely would not call it a mushroom linguine. If my vegetarian friends had ordered this dish they would have faced linguine in cream sauce. Tasty but missing the mark. - duck breast - 4/5 this was prepared well but nothing super amazing - bread and butter - 4/5, the bread had a little peppery quality to it which made the soft white bread more interesting

The meals are very, very tasty, and are very well priced at around £6 per meal. It is rarely busy, partly due to it's location being just above a larger Italian restaurant, but deserves a larger clientele. The staff were very friendly, and bent over backwards to ensure our meal was of the highest standard possible. Well worth a visit!

The pizza was cooked in pizza pans in the oven instead of straight in like most Italian restaurants do now resulting in a thicker base that wasn't as authentic and crisp.
