About Takeaway Pizza

Forget traditional wood-fired dogma—this busy Preston pizza bar builds thin, crispy pies engineered to support rich, unorthodox toppings. Northside regulars know the sturdy cornicione holds up under serious weight: think fatty cubes of bone marrow pastrami, shredded lamb with pine nuts, or mortadella drizzled with honey. Sides demand equal real estate, especially the garlic buns packed with cream cheese and finished with bone marrow and pecorino. Between the funky cocktails, local craft taps, and quick, considerate service, it functions as a dependable neighborhood haunt where dinner frequently winds down over a cold pet-nat at an outdoor table.

  • Inventive Toppings: Thin, crisp bases easily support heavy, unconventional toppings like bone marrow pastrami, mortadella with honey, and braised beef sherry.
  • Bone Marrow Garlic Buns: Signature garlic bread and cheese-stuffed garlic buns come enriched with savory bone marrow and pecorino.
  • Lively Bar Vibe: Bustling neighborhood dining paired with house cocktails, natural wines, and outdoor seating suited for bringing dogs along.

  • Crisp Crust Built for Rich Toppings

    The crust delivers an exceptional crunch that stays solid and supports rich meats without collapsing or turning soggy.

    The crust and base were top-tier — crispy, held their shape despite the rich toppings, and didn’t go soggy.

  • Funky Cocktails and Local Craft Drinks

    Pairs bold pizzas with house-curated pet nats, fresh cocktails, local draft beers, and craveable 13-spice seasoned sides.

    The pet nat was really fun and interesting. The yuzu mocktail is fresh and delightful.

    The outdoor tables let neighborhood guests bring their pets along on warm evenings without sacrificing food quality or vibe.

    Bonus points for being so dog-friendly—it makes the whole experience so much better when I can bring my furry baby along for the ride.

  • Signature Bone Marrow Garlic Bread

    A rich, creamy-filled garlic bun baked with pecorino and infused with bone marrow creates a standout table starter.

    For starters, the Garlic Bun was amazing, a creamy garlic filling topped with Pecorino. The most unique garlic bread I’ve had.
