WOOD FIRE | DINE Pizzeria

Wood Fire Dine serves wood-fired pizzas in both Neapolitan and New York styles.

Popular signature ‘pies’ include the Big Oky with spicy sausage and friarielli, and the Pompei calzone stuffed with spicy salami, tomato, mozzarella and chillies. Those with dietary restrictions can enjoy gluten-free and vegetarian options.

You can start their meal with small plates like the nduja dough balls served with garlic butter or Sicilian rice balls filled with mozzarella and peas. The pizzas are made with San Marzano tomatoes and feature classic toppings as well as weekly chef specials.

Desserts are simple – a chocolate brownie with ice cream or Italian gelato.

Wood Fire Dine offers a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to complement its pizza menu. The bar area, called Vesper’s, features several draft beers including a house lager as well as bottled beers and ciders.

There is also a selection of red, white and sparkling wines available by the glass or bottle. In addition to beer and wine, Vesper’s bar has a cocktail list with both classic and signature drinks.

The “Marktini”, named after the owner, appears to be one of the more popular cocktails served. Vesper’s also offers spirits like gin which can be ordered on their own or as part of a cocktail.

Wood Fire Dine is a cosy, rustic restaurant with a lively atmosphere. The compact dining area is spread over two floors, with wooden tables and chairs giving an authentic trattoria feel. Fairy lights and candles create a warm glow, and the low ceilings add to the intimate vibe.

The restaurant has a small bar area, while the upstairs dining space features some high bar-style tables for those just popping in for a drink or a slice of pizza.

With much of the original building fabric still visible, the décor retains plenty of character.

For private hire, the whole restaurant and bar can be booked for events of up to 40 guests. The space lends itself perfectly to laid-back gatherings of friends or family.
