Amongst the myriad of takeaways along the student-populated Smithdown Road, Carlitos stands out as probably one of, if not the best at the ancient art of combining cheese and tomato with bread. It offers the usual kebab/pizza shop fare but it is their pizzas that really set it apart from the other Smithdown takeaways as they are consistently doughy, generously topped and delicious.
Carlitos also offers several meal deals which represent good value for money as many cost less than five pounds, including the 'student special' (or 'student spesh' as it is commonly known) - a personal favourite of mine.
Its quality food, excellent prices and cheerful staff leave you under no illusions as to where to go when on Smithdown Road - there is only one way; Carlito's way. read more
