Best pizza I ever had need to be triedread more

I found Pizza House when I was desperately looking for vegan food in the area. The restaurant had a…read morelarge variety of vegetarian food and when I expressed that I was vegan they kindly let me know that they could make almost every vegetarian item on the menu vegan for me. The quality of my food and it's ingredients was great. Everything was fresh and tasted like they were organic. I had a big meal and unlike my expectations I felt very light (due to the ingredients being fresh). Will definitely eat here again.

I first heard about Gio's when the gent himself contacted me about his new restaurant venture in…read moreWalsall. As well as running a restaurant in a little community centre, he also runs a number of classes in the Community on healthy eating to help educate children and parents about sourcing ingredients and the benefits of eating good food. When he invited me down to have a look at the place and have a chat about it, I couldn't help but say yes! First thing to note is that (depending on which way you get down there), it can be a little difficult to find. Hidden on a housing estate, Gio's deli is situated on the corner of a cul-de-sac within a community centre. It took us a little while to get there by car, but that's mainly due to the traffic on the motorway. On a good day (traffic wise) I reckon you could get there by car within around 25 minutes. You can catch public transport to Walsall, but a cab from the centre would be recommended if you plan on visiting. Gio's ethos is about providing good, Italian food without the snobbiness or high price tag. His prices are extremely fair! Last night me and Dan went down for dinner and a three course meal (including a coffee) was the less-than-princely sum of £13.50. Main dishes start from £3.50 and there are a number of options for smaller plates (if you don't have a huge appetite). It's also BYOB - so feel free to take down a bottle of wine or some good beers to accompany your Italian feast! It really is a lovely little restaurant. It feels like you're stepping into Gio's living room as the space is warm, welcoming and you are surrounded by knickknacks and trinkets (I particularly liked the collection of teapots). We were welcomed as soon as we stepped in the door and were served by Gio's daughter, Gabriella, who is the front of house while the man himself cooks all of the food. As I am one for a big dinner (I know, shock right?), we opted for the 3 course and cracked open our wine. The first course was a selection of Antipasto including cured meats, the most amazing focaccia I have ever eaten and a piece of frittata. We were also bought over olive oil, balsamic vinegar and an infused chilli oil to drizzle over our food. It was all 100% spot on. No complaints whatsoever! It's also worth nothing that there are quite a few vegetarian options on the menu - so have at it veggies! Between courses, Gio came over and we had a lovely chat about the area, his time in Italy (he has Italian roots and is keen to create genuinely authentic food) and the aims of the restaurant and the classes. He bakes and makes everything fresh, so no store bought boring pasta here - it's all freshly made. Our main course was a selection of 4 pastas. We had a veggie lasagne, a meat lasagne, a dish with thick "noodle" style pasta and veg and gnocchi. I'm not normally a fan of gnocchi, but this was lighter than I was expecting (as was the lasagne which is made with crepes rather than pasta sheets). Again, this was all amazing - but I was STUFFED afterwards! We had to have a break after this as we had dessert coming! The dessert ended up being fantastic too - like a creme caramel made with egg custard. I just about managed to finish everything, but I was struggling to keep my eyes open after the meal with the delicious mix of the warm surroundings, good food and homely atmosphere. I loved our visit to Gio's. Racking up a bill of just £27.50, there is really NOTHING to complain about. We were even given a bag of focaccia to take away, so we could warm it up and enjoy it at home! I can't think of a more pleasant way to spend a Monday evening than enjoying some great food with great company and a great place. Gio.... My only issue is that you are too far away to pop in often, but believe you me - we'll be back!

There are a couple of No. 1 Pizza takeaways in Birmingham now, there's another one in Walsall as well. I went to the one in West Brom last week on my way to Wolverhampton. Me and friends decided to stop at No.1 because like I said you can basically feed a group of 5 people on 2/3 pizzas for £5. At the moment they have a great offer on: 'Buy any size pizza & get one free'- which is a guarantee that everyone will be fully fed and happy. Though they have their own selection of pizza's i.e. Meat Feast, Spicy Chicken. You can also create your own pizza with a selection of various toppings. Try the, spicy chicken pizza but with a little extra chilli- just the right way to spice up your life.

Nowhere in Smethwick was serving and we ended up in West Brom. Thankfully we caught whatever the pizza world's equivalent of last orders is here. The strange thing is that the sign on the window suggests that they close early so maybe they've changed in the few months since. I hope not because late-night pizza appears strangely hard to come by in these parts. If the pizzas are still as nice and value for money as they were very nice indeed.

All pizzas are cooked from fresh and in my experience, are absolutely delectable. A regular pizza with any toppings of the customer's choice costs just £3.99, and Ben & Jerry's ice cream is on sale too if you're really feeling indulgent (although, admittedly, the ice cream is pretty pricey!). Numerous newspapers are available for waiting customers, and seats are provided too, along with a free delivery service and an impressive range of soft drinks and refreshments. All in all, Tanky's Pizza is great - it's just a shame that the place is only open of an evening.
