Flint Pizza

Head up Chillingham Road and you'll find yourself in a stripped-back space where they're dead serious about their pizzas. This is the kind of place where the oven does the talking—wood-fired, traditional, and producing the sort of charred, leopard-spotted bases that make you wonder why you've wasted money elsewhere. The menu's focused (which is always a good sign), and the staff clearly know what they're doing without being precious about it. It's got that relaxed neighbourhood vibe where you can turn up on a Tuesday and feel just as welcome as on a Saturday night.
