I chose this pizza place for our dinner, the family was sick of "heavy" Scottish food and it's crazy when pizza is the lighter alternative. The choice was between a more traditional Italian restaurant and Pizza Punks which had a little more of the grit and industrial nature that we associate Glasgow with. The reason for the low review is the pizza took an hour to arrive. We were excited to start the meal but around 30 minutes of waiting it started getting awkward and when we looked around at other tables that were there before us we also noticed them looking around for their food. It took so long some people started leaving and the only reason this is not a 1 star review is staff was very good and kept apologizing. They did knock off 10 percent off the bill which we really appreciated but we would have left if they told us at the beginning the kitchen was very far behind. The pizzas tasted OK, but we were also very very hungry by the time it came. I would have ordered more food but were terrified it would take too long so we left still hungry. Interior is very nice and surprisingly large. They had a DJ in the front room and a professional photographer was also there when we ate shooting the interior. It could have been a more interesting experience if it didn't take so long! read more

Pizza Punks does NOT disappoint. The service was prompt. The food was spot on delicious. Atmosphere was great. Felt like the perfect mix of grunge and modern day neon. Make sure to leave room for an ice cream sandwich! read more

A friend had told us this was a must visit place because the pizza was incredible. And so we definitely wanted to try it. It's a cute place and the service was good. I just wish the pizza were a little better. It wasn't bad but it is not a place I would seek out again. read more

I really enjoyed Pizza Punks. The atmosphere is casual, funky and fun. The decor is a mixture of bright and industrial. This is a great place to go with friends to hang out, but I wouldn't recommend it for large crowds. The music is kind of loud, and the waiters don't get in a big hurry. The pizza is delicious. I really appreciated the availability of vegan cheese for my pie. The crust was chewy, and the toppings fresh and delicious. read more

Pizza Punks - Front - Pizza Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

When Pizza Punks first came up with their 'crazy' pizza concept about unlimited toppings for the flat fee of £9 I was instantly worried. Call me Mr Cynical Fussy Pants, but if you're gonna give people the choice of unlimited toppings they are gonna invent some crazy-ass pizza's that will probably end up tasting like a Ninja Turtle's bad nightmare. Anyway, it turns out that this time my Spidey senses were right as the overall dining experience was a flat out Meh! There's been a lot of hype about Pizza Punks opening and its disappointing that they've really failed to hit the mark in my humble opinion. Yes the idea is interesting and original, however I just wanted a pizza with peppers and pepperoni and for £9 it ain't exactly outstanding value for money. Firstly, let me tell you that the pizza's in here are small. Everyone knows I'm a greedy little swine, so perhaps not the best judge, however, my dining companions agreed the pizzas were kids sized. The toppings were more sparse than Wayne Rooney's dwindling hair follicles and the pizza was drier than a badgers arm pit. Also, and this was my biggest gripe it had ZERO taste. There was very little in the way of tomato sugo, hence the complete lack of taste and moisture and it was probably over cheesed. The whole thing just tasted cheap and I kinda just felt cheated. To make matters worse when we arrived we were told they were busy but would be escorted to a table in 20 minutes should we wish to wait by the bar. We did duly oblige, but it took just 20 minutes to order a bloomin' drink and then we didn't get a table for close to an hour, so a quick pizza turned out to be "a long and drawn out affair". I should probably start to talk about the positives at this point. The first, is the craft beer list. Its pretty darn decent and the barkeep made some excellent IPA recommendations which I thoroughly enjoyed. The second positive is I actually quite liked the feel of the place and the wacky neon lighting. However again, like the pizza topping, I felt it was a bit sparse and definitely lacking tables. Its hard to do a pizza review nowadays without comparing it to Paesano's. They really have set the bar so high that currently no one can get close. I'm afraid, for the time being these guys ain't anywhere near and unless they shake things up soon I cannot see myself returning. read more

So this place is finally open after teasing us all with the awesome temporary facade of awesomeness. As you walk in its like a converted warehouse so very high ceilings and a trendy vibe with scissor style extending lights on the ceilings, a nifty touch! The staff are all lovely, very welcoming and engaging as i sat down, quickly and easily explained the menu to me and how it works. Also suggested i get one of the side dishes and i was worried that meant the pizza would take a while but this was not the case, id advise maybe leaving these, as tasty as they are, as the pizza is pretty filling. I had the garlic and rosemary foccacia which was around 4 strips (i had eaten 2 already by the picture) and was exceptionally tasty. Onto the pizza!! I decided to "punk it!" which means making your own and it was the main thing that drew me in here when i heard about it. You start off and choose your base (sourdough or additional £2 for gluten free), choose your sauce and then up to 10 toppings. I had about 7 with some very tasty ones such id recommend such as the tuscan sausage, meatballs and speck which is pork ribs i think. One ill have to try later is chipotle and choclate pulled pork. so i had all f this, some lemon thyme chicken (also a good try), mozzarella, parmesan, mushroom, sweetcorn and chilli flakes. Sooo tasty and as its make your own you can never really be dissapointed. As an addition tasty bit you can have sage oil or chili oil as well. A fully stocked bar, milkshakes listand dessert menu complete the deliciousness, didnt try these this time as i was stuffed but sooooon! Id definetely go back here and cant wait to try some of the other things in my head to make! read more

The best way to sum up the Pizza Punks experience is... "It's okay". Definitely not the best pizza I've had in Glasgow, our pizzas were just average. We had two "Punk it" pizzas and one from the suggested menus (we were three, not all for me!) and I have to say the quality of the pizza and the ingredients was rather underwhelming. The interior was interesting, the staff were friendly (although very disorganised... we had different people asking us the same questions one after another). Drinks took a while to get served but the pizzas came quickly. And although the design of the place was nice, we were there for the pizza and that didn't live up to the expectation. The idea is great - get any amount of toppings you fancy for £9 with the same quality/quantity of "standard" pizzas. On paper, all of our pizzas sounded amazing but in reality they were just ok.. I had a pizza with mozarella, nduja + chorizo sausage, onion, jalapenos and olives; my other half had the breakfast pizza (bacon, sausage, black pudding and fried egg) and our friend had tuscan sausage with roasted peppers and some cheeses. From all the pizzas, the one that had the most taste was the breakfast one. My pizza has something resembling mozzarella but it was neither creamy nor tasty. The tomato sauce was pretty dull and the chorizo + nduja sausage added very little taste. The tuscan sausage pizza was a bit more exciting as you got the spices coming through a lot better. Overall the pizzas were not bad, but not great either. With other, more exciting and authentic pizza places I won't be rushing back anytime soon. read more

There had been a lot of hype building up to Pizza Punks opening, a new way of eating pizza they said, get the toppings you want both in quantity and difference they said. But did it live up to the hype? For this guy, sadly not. It was a Sunday and we were there as a group of six before going to see the almighty Less Than Jake at The Academy who, despite the ever increasing annoyance of places not taking bookings, managed to get seated quickly. That was the only quick part of the evening. To start with drinks orders first took some agitated hand waving to get taken and then arrived a good 10 minutes later and were both wrong and served with an attitude. The menu in theory is straightforward you pick the toppings you want on your pizza but is actually more of a minefield than you would imagine and I found myself more drawn to their already considered suggestions. I eventually picked some flat meats (pepperoni, salami & speck), artichokes and olives with the standard tomato base. Before the pizzas though there was some starter action on the go. A total night and day experience in itself. I had plumped for the Beetroot & Goats Cheese Bruschetta which was lovely although could have been even better with a crack or two of black pepper, of which I duly obliged myself with, and a squeeze of lemon. The candied bacon though, that a couple of our party got, was quite frankly a bit of a joke, burnt bits on bacon with no hint of sweetness served in a short glass. If it had been me presented with that I would have asked for a refund. With a mixed starter experience and pretty poor service so far (barring one chap who seemed on the ball) the pizza had a lot to live up to. The pizza...was good! Not great but good enough to claw back some ground, I really liked the tomato base but my joy was tempered when I realised how stingy the topping distribution had been. Now I'm sure there is a fairly robust economic model behind the "anything you want concept" but if that model is built on stiffing the amount you put on the pizza in relation to the number of toppings requested it needs a look at. Put the price of the pizzas up if need be. Because quite frankly I felt a bit cheated even if it was tasty. I'm not a dessert guy but the ice cream ordered by the others in the group got a mild thumbs up although not explaining why the cookies were replaced with random pick'n'mix again went against the service. From sitting down to leaving we were there for 2 hours, for a quick pre-gig bite. I started this review with the intention of giving it 3 stars but by the end of it, it has to be 2. The concept is there but it needs some work, as does the service. Aaarrgghh, so disappointing! read more

Pizza Punks - So much potential here... - Pizza Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Upon seeing a picture of their milkshakes on Instagram, I knew I had to try this place (- they do bring all the boys and gals to the yard indeed haha). I found myself a partner in crime and got to Pizza Punks just in time for late lunch - so while we were at it, why not try the pizza as well, right? They do have an extensive menu with plenty of choices of toppings you can combine as you like, but since we were pretty hungry and uncreative, we decided to go for one of the recommended option - the goats cheese & roasted vegetables pizza. It came pretty quickly and I'd say it was one of the best pizzas I've had in Glasgow. The roasted vegetables on top were some pretty huge chunks, which I imagine someone might not like, but I didn't really mind + you can see they used fresh vegetables this way. The crust was really nice and tasted great. And goats cheese was goats cheese - nothing can really go wrong there. Now there was a pretty long wait for the milkshakes (we ordered them simultaneously with the pizza and got them about ~5mins after finishing it), but they do give you water to drink meanwhile and the shakes are worth the wait. I opted for the Strawberry cheesecake shake and my friend got the Salted caramel one and both looked georgeous. I think, in fact, that the presentation is what's the best about those shakes. Don't get me wrong, they taste pretty good too, but I've had better tasting shakes in my life. But have I had a better looking one? No. Definitely a way to go to enrich your Instagram feed. The staff was pretty attentive (although their attention slowly faded away as time passed and it took us pretty long to get the bill) and the interior is pretty cool (but the way to the toilets is bit of a maze). Overall, I really enjoyed my visit there and wouldn't hesitate to go back if I found myself in the area craving pizza. After all, there's still lots on the menu to be explored. read more

As much as I wanted to love Pizza Punks, I just couldn't. We each got a "create your own" pizza to-go, which we ordered in person. Our pies came out quickly and we walked five minutes back to our place to eat. When we opened the pizzas, we both were missing toppings (mine was sans vegan chorizo) and the crusts were dissolve-in-your-hand soggy and practically inedible. Although we're usually pizza fiends, we only managed to choke down two slices each before throwing the rest away. Very disappointing. read more

Pizza Punks - Soggy vegan pizza - Pizza Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Woah. For 10 pounds you can put ANY toppings on your pizza. I screwed mine up, put too much and it didn't taste like much but the others I went with put a more reasonable number of toppings on and theirs were GOOOOOOOOODDDD. I just love the idea of it. Beers/drinks aren't particularly cheap, though, I'd go so far as to say they're quite pricey and a very limited selection. Honestly, just go for the pizza and get a non-alcoholic drink and the money you save on your pizza you can spend on better-priced pints elsewhere. Definitely worth going, though, for the interesting pizza options. read more

Pizza Punks - Great pizza place that had all the toppings you wanted, one price along with great drinks from the bar. We would definitely do this again! - Pizza Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

I woke up this morning dying to write a review for this place. I had really high hopes for Pizza Punks, it feels like the site has been under wraps for a long time with teaser boarding posted over the windows. There's a fairly unmistakable neon sign out front with a big anarchich 'A' symbol. The problem is that this place tries to hard to be hip, they have that exposed brick and white tile decor that was really cool a few years ago. but done to death by a million & 1 copycats, we get it, but no this isn't New York. The waiting system for a table seemed a little out've step, with walk-ins seated before us, while we waited at the bar. During the week it shouldn't take 45 minutes to get a table, especially when there are tables sitting empty. Despite the long wait, the bar area was fairly easy going & not too crowded a space to sit in. The main test of any city centre Pizza place is how it compares to Paesano, sadly what was served on our plates fell pretty far short of that standard. Where Paesano's pizzas have a charred, smoky quality to the base, PP's had little, to no taste at all. The tomato sugo lacked any really acidity or flavour you'd associate with San Marzano tomatoes. I opted for a Pizza, without cheese, opting for olives, red onion & red peppers. On the whole the pizza lacked any real flavour, I tried adding chilli oil, but even it lacked any flavour or heat, only the garlic & herb oil added any flavour to the pizza. Despite the initial delays, I have to say that the service was pretty swift. The bartender even helped us get a table organised after overhearing our complaints about the wait. I felt fairly disappointed by my visit to Pizza Punks, but I wouldn't say that I wouldn't give it a second chance.. read more

yes you can get any toppings you want but this can make the pizza tasteless too. Crust was rather hard and not fresh mozzarella as described in the menu. And one cheese was really stink, which made me hard to eat the pizza. I thought this cheese was too old. I mean.. cheese has expiration date too. Service was friendly but this place is really casual (almost diner). For 9 GBP, I suggest you try other proper pizza place. read more

This place has finally opened in the city centre so after work, Gian and I hopped on over to eat PIZZA (no surprise there). It's a funky place with nice interior. I supposed they're trying very hard to compete with Paesano which is just around the corner. Huge space btw, it expands all the way to the back! Anyway, we were seated by a few accommodating staff members and were given an explanation on how the menu works. It does seem like there's a bit of a confusion with how things are managed cause waiters and waitresses keep scurrying about around us and kept asking if we had anyone tend to us like 3 times. Not that it's a big deal, just looked like everyone was confused. So you can order pizzas already suggested on the menu, or you can order a 9quid pizza and put whatever and how ever much toppings as you want! Sounds like a deal but it's actually not easy to know how to combine things and be sure they're delicious haha I had a pizza with speck, taleggio cheese, red onions, olives and mushrooms. I think Gian has speck and taleggio too but he added artichoke, caramelised onions and mushroom, We had a glass of their house white and red wine, ordered a side of roasted potatoes and some homemade gelato (Gian had for dessert. We didn't have to wait long, it was quite quick in fact! And the pizza was pretty good! They were note super generous with the topping but I wouldn't complain too much cause taste was yum. The only downside is that they forgot our roasted potatoes, but made up for it by giving us a serving of it and not charging us for it at the end. That's nice! The gelato was super nice! I had the coffee and honey comb one and it was fresh and delicious!!! Gian had the sorbet and he loved it. Said it was very refreshing. Price wise was about 15quid per person, minus the potatoes they had forgotten. Verdict : Still going through some teething problems and hope that this gets sorted asap cause I do see this place having great potential, especially being in the city centre. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was yum,gelato was yum. Place is nice. Would def go back! read more

Never has an opening been so hyped, or for so damn long as Pizza Punks. It's very modern, it is decent value, and it does have proper wood-burning ovens. The waitress was a little unsure about how to pronounce things, and didn't know much about the beer, but she was new. We went for sides of meatballs with porcini, and chicken wings in a hot sauce, and I went for the Nduja and Chorizo pizza. The sauces for both the meatballs and the chicken was too runny, and therefore didn't coat much at all. The consequence of that was actually a very mild chicken dish, maybe the sauce was hot, and a perfectly okay, but not outstanding meatball dish. But these were the sideshow, what about the main event? Well both pizza bases were slightly burnt and thereby a bit dry, and you could taste that. It was only on the exposed edges though and only slightly detracted from the overall dish. The toppings on mine were really nice, lots of flavour from the sauce and the sausage, and the base was very thin and crispy. Yes, Pizza Punks is pretty good, but it ain't no Paesano. read more

This is a pizza place similar to Your Pie or Blaze Pizza back in the U.S. It was 10 pounds for unlimited toppings and pizza leaned more towards a thin crust pizza than your normal delivery pizza (like dominos/papa johns). Has a full bar with a lot of seating and one of the cocktails comes out on fire and was pretty good called 'by monks for punks' which we ordered when we saw the table next to us get them. I got normal pizza just with pepperoni and sausage but would recommend asking for double toppings because the pizza came out with about seven total pieces of pepperoni on it. Since I don't have an international plan I randomly fell upon this place without looking at any Yelp reviews and found after the fact it was 3.5/5 stars at the time of review but with most experiences below 4/5 stars I find that it's some of the best food I'd eat. Am I the only one that goes on Yelp just to read all of the bad reviews of the restaurant then still go knowing not to expect anything and wind up with amazing food??? This concept has worked wonders for me and you should not solely rely on reviews to pick a restaurant like how I did this one and had great pizza and drinks! read more

First visit yesterday evening and I was very impressed. I had a sourdough base with the san marzano sauce, veggie sausage, mozzarella, red onions, jalapenos and sweetcorn. The pizza was amazing, one of the best in Glasgow, arguably. Much better than recent city centre offerings like Paesano, in my opinion, in terms of food and service. Loved the fact that we could choose our own toppings for a set price. The cherry soda was incredible too, so refreshing. We were too full for dessert having been unable to stop ourselves from demolishing an entire pizza each but hopefully next time. Looking forward to a return visit to try another pizza and some cocktails. read more

I really enjoyed Pizza Punks! As many toppings as you like on your pizza for £9 sounded like a good deal and they had so many great options to choose from. I went with Tuscan sausage (herby and spicy) with mushrooms and red onion as well as mozzarella. My dining companions both had pizza with the lemon thyme roast chicken which they said was delicious. The service, music and general atmosphere on a Friday evening was good. read more

Great first stop after arriving in Glasgow. Although it was quite busy on a Friday evening we were seated quickly and able to eat in time to make it to our 21:00 show down the street. Funky decor and the flat rate build your own pizza was what makes this place the right choice for an interesting dinner in Glasgow Central. Will return next time we are in Glasgow. read more
