The Pizza Yard

You're walking down Kirkgate towards the cathedral when the smell hits you—wood smoke and bubbling cheese. The Pizza Yard doesn't mess about: they've got a proper wood-fired oven, and they're using it to turn out the kind of pizza that makes you forget about the chain places. The space is buzzy without being try-hard, which is exactly what this part of town needed. Locals keep coming back because the dough's given proper time, the toppings aren't overthought, and you won't need to remortgage for a night out.
