Quick info
About The Keekle Inn
On Keekle Terrace in Cleator Moor, The Keekle Inn is a pub serving wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas with a thin, crunchy crust. The Keekle Inn Dragon shows up as a recurring spicy option, and the menu also runs to a Mars bar calzone for dessert. The bar keeps local ales and Guinness on tap, and food arrives at the table through waiter service rather than a counter. The building has been renovated while keeping its original character intact. Dogs are welcome in the seating area, and parking is available across the road for those driving in. The pub takes both walk-ins and reservations, and pizzas are also available for takeaway.

Customer Review Summary
Wood fired Neapolitan pizza dominates the praise here, with the Keekle Dragon named repeatedly as a standout, one diner calling it the best pizza they'd tasted and another recommending it after hearing about it beforehand. Close behind, reviewers highlight the well stocked bar, singling out Guinness and local ales alongside the pizza, plus a mars bar calzone and reasonably priced mocktails as notable extras. The pub itself gets consistent notes for being cozy yet tastefully renovated, with friendly, attentive service and quick seating even when busy, including one visitor accommodated without a booking on a crowded night. A single reviewer mentioned one staff member seeming reluctant to be there, though this stands out against an otherwise uniform run of praise for the pizza chef and crew. Portions are described as generous and worth the price, and outdoor parking across the road is mentioned as a practical plus by one diner.

“It is a bit of an odd name I think for a Pizza restaurant, but the pizza’s are absolutely delicious. Thin crunchy crust (baked a high temperature with high quality dough) and plenty of tasty toppings. I had the Keekle Inn Dragon, because I like spicy and loved it, one of the best pizza’s I ever ate even though looking at the ingredients I was somewhat skeptical. Being able to have my favourite Guinness next to it was great and obviously uncommon at most Italian restaurants 😉. Quick service and several waiters friendly, one looked though like he was forced to work there, otherwise a 5 star all around. Recommend it to anyone looking for a great pizza.”
