The best pies in B-town.

1. The Greenbank

Some may argue that the best thing about The Greenbank is that they have a "takeaway pint" option for when the bar is closing but you still want to get a little tooty at home. Okay so that might be the best thing, but the pizza is a very close second. The Garlic Mushroom ‘za is everything it says on the box – simple, tasty, lots of mushrooms, perfect.

2. The Hen & Chicken

Situated in the heart of Southville, The Hen and Chicken is host to live music, comedy and theatre. Before you go to a show make sure you get there early and tuck into a slice, the aptly named Hangover has served many a sore head after a long night, topped with salami, chorizo and a perfectly cooked egg.

3. Pizza Workshop

North Street has had a foodie revolution in the past few years and Pizza Workshop is a welcome addition to the bunch. Serving only ten different pizza options, plus some specials, you know every pizza is cooked to perfection. The number two is a personal favourite with plenty of garlic, capers and anchovies to satisfy, although if you’re extra peckish add some Sicilian Nocellara olives to order – you won’t regret it.

4. Old Market Assembly

Pizza isn’t just pizza at Old Market Assembly, with a commitment to fair trade, ethically sourced and local produce you can guarantee some home-grown deliciousness. With a specialism for vegan and vegetarian fare, try the kale, basil and pumpkin seed pesto on a butternut squash puree base for some guilt-free decadence.

5. Bertha's Pizza

Located on Whapping Wharf relative newcomer Bertha’s has a bold mission statement – to make the best pizza in the world. It’s definitely worth a visit to see if they’ve been successful, try the amazingly named "Nettles?!" for a taste of something different with creamed nettles and chilli. Dock leaves not needed.

6. The Grecian Kebab House

One of Bristol's hidden takeaway gems is The Grecian, open until 5am on the weekends it's the last stop after a hedonistic night out. Unlike a lot of takeaways The Grecian has a wood-burning pizza oven that delivers crisp delicious pizza within a matter of minutes, all for an astounding £5 with free chips, what more could you want at 5am?

7. Acapella

With names like Overture, Encore and C Major, Acapella is definitely a fan favourite. The self-titled Acapella pizza is a treat with a warm base and cold toppings of parma ham, mozzarella and rocket. Handily, Acapella is located about a quarter of the way up the infamously steep Wells Road so you’ll have burnt off the pizza calories before you’ve even eaten.

8. Proven
