We stumbled across Al Forno as we were on our way into town for a pizza. We decided to try it out as it looked really nice and authentic (and my partner was getting hangry). I’m vegan and my partner isn’t, so it can be hard for us to find somewhere without having researched it beforehand but I thought if there aren’t vegan options I can just get a cheeseless pizza (it’s actually not bad). I was lucky enough that they had a whole vegan section of the menu. I can’t remember the last time I had so much choice! I forget which one I had, but it was soooo good. I did ask for half the amount of cheese, as vegan cheese can be a bit funny tasting. And while it was really tasty, I’m glad I only had half the cheese as I think it might have overpowered it otherwise. The flavours worked so well together, and the crust was so light and fluffy. They had a good pasta section too, so I can’t wait to go back and try that with some garlic bread. AND they had a vegan lemon cheesecake which I also can’t wait to try. It was a great find.

Just received our 2 pizzas & both boxes have clearly been turned on their sides. Really disappointing! Who, in their right mind, would tip a newly baked pizza box upright, rather than leaving flat?
We order from Al forno fairly regularly & the pizzas taste great, but they can a bit hit & miss.
Several months ago I got the best looking pizza I think I’ve ever had (I always opt for Fiorentina) It was like a work of art, (wish I’d taken a photo!) with plenty of toppings. Next pizza delivery, there was no comparison & toppings about a third of the previous - please, at least be consistent!
And, today, to our squished pizzas! I’ve no doubt they will taste as good, but please instruct your delivery folk NOT to tip the boxes on their sides!!

It is a really nice place to taste traditional Italiano. 😋 after a while, I received a better taste of pizza . They also have huge vegan menu. A traditional size pizza 🍕 costs you only 12.00 pounds, which was really worth it.
Pizza 🍕 lover must visit them. Even you can feel like food orgasm in your mouth.

Friendly service but didn’t actually enjoy the food that much. Was authentic and good quality but not much flavour.
Hummous could be better, and I couldn’t finish the lasagna which is not common for me.
