The Up North pizza van, est. 2020

— The story

A van. To a restaurant.

We started our business during lockdown 2020 with our Pizza Van pop-ups on the streets of South Tyneside. Now we have a bricks & mortar home in Westoe Crown Village, South Shields. Up North Pizzeria.

Our mission…make the best pizza you’ve ever eaten!

Improved dough recipe. Longer fermentation. Better seats, a proper bar, coffee through the day, panuozzos at lunch. You can still get the Margherita that started the whole thing, now levelled up.

Pop in. We’ll save you a seat.
