Quick info
About Pizza West
On West Cliff in Whitby, Pizza West is a restaurant built around a glass-fronted open kitchen where diners can watch the chefs cooking pizzas front of house, with counter seats positioned for the view and a sightline through to the sea beyond. The menu runs through garlic bread, meatballs, and pappardelle, with a chorizo pizza among the recurring options, and sides of courgettes or roasted potatoes served alongside. Floor-to-ceiling windows run through the dining room. Tiramisu closes out the dessert list. It operates on a walk-in basis, with payment taken at the entrance rather than at the table. Cocktails are offered on a 2 for 1 basis.

Customer Review Summary
Pizzas cooked in view of the dining room draw the most praise, with several reviewers enjoying counter seats to watch the young chefs work and pick up tips for making pizza at home. One reviewer singles out a Full English Breakfast pizza and another a chorizo dish as the standout. Diners also name garlic bread, meatballs, a sundried tomato and spinach pappardelle, and tiramisu. Two for one cocktails, sea views through the glass walls, and polite, welcoming staff come up repeatedly. The complaints are specific. Two reviewers found the pizza base undercooked, and two call the pizzas, sides and a pint overpriced, one noting a courgette side with only four slices and potatoes that were not crispy. One finds the interior too loud, and another describes minimal service, with no check on the food and having to get up to pay. Still, one family describes a manager quietly noticing their son's sensory difficulty with his meal and helping, and another pair recalls a waiter offering containers for their leftovers.

“Under cooked over priced too loud inside. 25 pounds for a all meat pizza, I've bought better from local outlets at less than half the price. 8 pounds for a pint of near flat larger. Not impressed in the slightest”

“We came for a family meal this evening. Our pizzas were nice and the atmosphere was good. However what made the evening a 5* experience was that Tia, th manger, noticed one of our boys having some sensory issues with his meal and offered kindness and support in trying to make the experience better for him. Most people don’t notice or charge us extra to accommodate dietary needs, where as she quietly did her best to make us comfortable. Thank you so much for seeing our family and discreetly acknowledging how difficult it can be sometimes for neurodivergent families to eat out together.”

“Stayed in Whitby on a very busy weekend and couldnt manage to book any of the restaurants we tried. Fortunately our Host at the Wheeldale hotel told us to try Pizza West. We got in, and on arriving it was an unusual building from the outside, so we were a bit worried it might be basic. We were wrong! Inside was a beautiful classy Italian restaurant with a great atmosphere. The young waiter and waitress serving us were welcoming, polite and professional. The wine was good and the food was divine! The menu had been so tempting we ordered too much food, more than we could eat. We ordered Garlic bread, the best both of us had ever tasted, the meatballs were so tasty, as was the pizza, and the sundried tomato and spinach pappardelle . On coming to clear our table the you waiter asked if we would like our food putting in containers to take away with us, which we did. We were so grateful the other restaurants were full because we found the best one in Whitby, a hidden gem and the best Italian food I have had in years, we will be back.”

“A little disappointing to be honest. Visited last night, punchy prices (~£20/pizza) so was expecting great things. Pizzas were nice but the bottom was undercooked. Side dishes of courgettes and roasted potatoes very expensive. Courgette dish had 4 slices of courgette, potatoes were not crispy. Service was minimal, no checks as to whether food was good, had to get up and pay at the entrance after waiting a while.”
