Central Oven & Shaker

Proper Neapolitan pizza and cocktails in a slick converted warehouse space right on the Tyne.

You'll find yourself walking into what feels like a genuine bit of Naples dropped onto Neville Street—exposed brick, high ceilings, and that particular energy that comes from a wood-fired oven doing its thing all night. The pizzas are the real deal: thin crust, quality toppings, nothing fancy or overthought. But here's the thing that sets it apart: the cocktails are genuinely excellent, which isn't something you can say about every pizza place. It's the kind of spot where you're just as happy lingering over a Negroni as you are demolishing a margherita. The room itself buzzes without feeling forced, and they've managed that tricky balance of being proper somewhere without being precious about it.
