I had high hopes this would revitalise me on a Friday evening and satisfy my taste buds and I was absolutely right! Manny's is ideally located on a side street off Northumberland street making it very convenient for shoppers, students or city centre workers alike. There were 4 different pizza's on display on my arrival which were explained to me by a very friendly lady behind the counter however there are many more options on the menu. They had meat options, vegetarian slices and even a white pizza (for those who are unaware this is pizza without the tomato sauce) so all in all a good selection. I opted for the prosciutto and rocket slice which was delicious....lovely thin base and beautiful combination of flavours! I chose to sit in the window which meant I could people watch which is always fun but you can also take out or have your pizza delivered which is great! I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see any of the desserts on offer in the counter although possibly a blessing for my waistline. There is also supposedly a Man Vs Food challenge which could be interesting. I will definitely be back to try something else!

I can't comment on the location or atmosphere here as I ordered take out, but what I can say is…read morethat these pizzas are something else! Definately felt like a real New York style pizza and it was very good! I would definately eat from here again as it's great to share with friends because it's so ginormous!

Cal's Own has completely changed, so any review prior to April 2016 will be for their old location…read moreand old menu. Now they are in Jesmond, with a bigger restaurant and a huge, awesome pizza oven from Italy. Their soft launch menu features only Neopolitan-style pizzas - you know the ones that are only baked for a minute or two in a super-hot oven, you eat with a knife and fork, simple fresh tomatoes and the finest mozzarella, not heavy with toppings? They're very busy, as everyone is excited about the relaunch, but we came on the second night they were open and got a table after waiting only 10-15 minutes at around 630 pm, but if we went any later we would've been waiting longer. Staff are still figuring out the kinks of having a new restaurant, but you can't hold that against them at all! They'll have it down to a science within a few weeks, no doubt. Just be prepared to forgive a few occasional serving missteps. The new building is casual but sleek and shiny, with a huge open kitchen where you can watch the master work! We enjoyed some huge plump green olives and drinks while we waited for our pizzas. And what can I say, for what they are, they are the best we've had outside Italy (and probably tied with those). Perfect crust. Light, fresh ingredients. Good size for one person (a rocket salad split between two is the perfect accompaniment and will help you fill up). The spicy sausage on top was great, but you can't beat the pizza margherita for sheer simplicity. However, my husband and I both agreed that though these pizzas were great, we terribly miss the old Cal's Own. His Brooklyn-style pies were absolutely second to none, and that's what we crave when we want pizza. Neopolitan style is elegant and wonderful, knife-and-fork pizza. But Cal did huge pizzas that were sliced, and topped with all sorts of wonderful things, and we miss those every day! We hope that after a successful start, that Cal will expand his menu to include those beloved Brooklyn pies, but we'll definitely be back to try these again too!

I ordered the Meat & Heat on Gluten free crust and it was great! The crust had great flavor and texture. Not dry at all. The pizza had pepperoni, chicken, onion, peppers, and mozzarella. Absolutely loved it. For cocktails I tried the One Night Stand. It was amazing! It's also new to their menu so give it a try! It was light and refreshing but had a sweet kick. It was even better that I got 2 for the price of 1, can't beat that. If you are in Newcastle give this place a try, beautiful venue and kind service.

Pretty much, this place gets the three stars because it is cheap and fast. A bit of wisdom from my…read morebrother goes something like this: a) Cheap b) Fast c) Good Pick two. Certainly, this restaurant was cheap and fast, and was lacking a bit in the "good" category. I visited Mamma Mia on a Saturday night. Starting at 5:30 PM on Saturdays (and the other days of the week) and lasting until 7 PM is the pizza/pasta/risotto/omelet happy hour. Every pizza/pasta/risotto/omelet on the menu is £4.10. Add a cup of tea, and you have a meal for under £5, which is exactly what I did. The pepperoni pizza was quite good. With ham and pepperoni, it tasted quite different from other pepperoni pizzas I've had. The ham was the predominant flavor, but it was good. Unlike pizzas in the States, the pizza was oval-shaped and quite spicy. The red hot peppers seed that are next to the parmesan cheese is optional in American Pizzerias--but here it came on straight from the kitchen. The crust was buttery, with a very similar taste to Pillsbury roll out crusts, but the consistency was much closer to a NY style pizza than a roll out. They serve more expensive things here too, like steaks and seafood. There are wines and beer as well. The location of the restaurant is a little precarious. Pudding Chare is a glorified ally off of Groat Market. Here's a tip, if you can't find something you want there or it's too crowded, there are three/four other Italian restaurants within a one-minute walk. The interior had a nice feel to it. Not overly fancy, but a nice casual dining establishment. The dining room is very cramped (pictures on their website show the dining room). So, you may want to call ahead during the summer months. If you are looking for a place to eat, Mamma Mia has a decent Italian cuisine at a reasonable price.

Ooft I thought I was in heaven when I found this place!…read more It's a normal Italian restaurant, but they specialise in vegan food. This is very unusual - usually in Italian places you can get a salad and maybe a risotto if it's not already been pre-prepared with butter and cream, and that's your lot, so I can't tell you how happy I was to be here. They have a seperate 'green' menu which is all vegan - even the name of it is a nice touch. It's comprehensive too - the night we visited, there was a choice of 5 starters, 4 mains, and 3 desserts. They are also happy to try to customise anything you fancy from the main menu - which also means that everything is being freshly prepared, and not pre-prepared like you get in a lot of Italian chain restaurants nowadays. For starter, I had creamy mushroom and walnut pate with toasted rustic bread and cranberry sauce. It freaked me out a bit for the first mouthful as it tasted very much like real pate! But I quickly got my head round the the fact that this wasn't meat and was just amazingly delicious and really enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure you could give this to anyone and they wouldn't realise it wasn't meat based. It was that good. For main I had the Italiano Pizza - thin and crispy with napoli sauce, marinated artichoke, caramelised red onions and fresh rocket. Oh man, this pizza! This was an amazing pizza! I have no idea what the chef puts in the base, but it was outstandingly tasty. They've found a really good vegan cheese too. And they were so considerate throughout. When the waitress brought my starter she pointed out that the butter was OK for me. This is very reassuring as even in vegetarian places, sometimes they'll put down dairy butter when you've already said that you're vegan. And for the pizza, she brought over some sort of parmesany type vegan cheese. They also have vegan wine! The lovely woman who was running the place that night gave us a taster of the red and it was really good. I have no idea what my omni partner ate - I was too focussed on my awesome food. We shared a sticky toffee pudding for desert as we were both properly full. This is the one area that maybe needs a wee bit more perfecting - it tasted a bit too much of bicarbonate of soda - you know that bitter taste, and we didn't finish it. Vegan desserts are notoriously difficult to master, but the chef here seems to really be making a huge effort so I'm sure he'll get there with the desserts. I've heard that the chocolate brownie is really good, so I'd probably have that next time. The ice cream was good too. I loved this place. It's not super posh or classy, it's down to earth, the staff are really friendly and helpful, the food is great food, and the chef should be awarded with some sort of 'services to vegan' medal. Keep it up Mamma Mia!

The staff impressed me the most.....very attentive and genuinely polite and friendly. Immediately from first walking in I was confident this would be a good experience from the way I was greeted.

The pizzas (their speciality) looked amazing although I wasn't fortunate enough to have sampled any on this occasion. A few little quirks like old school milk bottles for water and the herb garden where you can see them grow.

We arrived and we were told that for a table for two we had to wait for 45 mins which was annoying as we were both starving. However it was fairly busy and there seemed to be only 3 members of waiting staff available so that was understanding I suppose! And the staff were extremely apologetic and friendly throughout the whole service. I opted for the 'Happy Ham, Wild Mushrooms, Mozzarella, Creamy Ricotta and thyme' pizza and my partner opted for the meat Calzone. To share we chose the cheesy garlic bread - always a winner in my opinion! When the food came it was piping hot but delicious! And massive! I loved the ricotta on my pizza as it added that extra creamyness. And the pizza didn't have a soggy bottom! Winning! The garlic bread in my opinion could have done with a little bit more cheese but it was still tasty! After all of that bread we were stuffed so we didn't get to try the puddings! Sad times! The decor in Herb Garden is shabby chic with the chandelier being made out of wine glasses, which in my opinion looked incredible! And a good use of upcycling! Overall a lovely place for a bit of munch!
