About Exeter Pizza

Exeter Pizza turns out old-school suburban takeaway loaded to the crust edge without leaving a drop of grease in the box. Regulars rely on the Croydon North fixture for honest, thin-base pies blanketed in shredded ham or tender roast lamb. The crew runs orders with genuine warmth—remembering family names and even tossing pasta dishes like pollo e funghi over open flames to order. Pizzas emerge piping hot, stacked with garlic prawns or bubbling mozzarella that holds its crisp bite all the way home.

  • Crisp, Edge-to-Edge Toppings: Thin-crust pies come packed with generous toppings from edge to edge while keeping takeaway boxes dry and oil-free.
  • First-Name Hospitality: The counter crew welcomes customers by name, offers pre-order tastings, and caters everything from quick dinners to 200-person events.
  • Scratch-Cooked Flame Pastas: Pastas like carbonara and pollo e funghi are prepared fresh to order in sauté pans over open flames.
