Quick info
About Pizza Social
Pizza Social is a pizza restaurant on Oxford Buildings in Harrogate, with open-air seating alongside its indoor tables and a kitchen open to view while the dough is stretched and topped. The menu stays small, built around Neapolitan-style pizza with a thin base, and cherry ice cream rounds out the meal for dessert. Dough sticks arrive as a shared starter with a garlic butter dip, and a spicy sweet chilli dip is served alongside the pizzas themselves. Drinks come out at the start of the meal as part of table service, and pizzas are sliced for children in the group as a matter of course. The room seats around 30 diners, so booking ahead is advised. Vegan pizzas sit on the menu next to the classic versions, and food is available to eat in or take away.

Customer Review Summary
Pizzas cooked in a wood-fired style draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling out the margherita and the special carbonara-base pie, plus a pumpkin pizza and a dessert called Pud Pud. Close behind, the dough sticks starter and a spicy lime dip earn their own mentions, alongside a fun, "social" atmosphere built around watching the pizza-making. Staff come up again and again as friendly and attentive, going out of their way for allergies and serving children's pizzas first. Several reviewers note the restaurant is small, seating around thirty, and advise booking ahead to avoid disappointment given limited tables. One reviewer wished the carbonara special had more meat in the topping, and another found the garlic butter a bit too hard, but otherwise complaints are minimal. Multiple diners describe returning a second or third time, with one traveling back from Cambridge specifically for the pizzas.

“Went for a friend's birthday and the pizzas were absolutely phenomenal! My friend has allergies and the staff were more than willing to help and make sure that she was able to find a pizza she could have. The staff were friendly and the place is great to have a lovely evening out with friends or family.”

“A fantastic pizza experience from start to finish. The base was thin yet sturdy enough to hold all the delicious toppings without getting soggy. The cheese was rich and stretchy, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh.”
