About Wood Fire Smoke Wilmslow
Wood Fire Smoke Wilmslow is the original WFS, a family-run pizza restaurant at 31 Water Ln in Wilmslow, open since 2017. The dough takes a 72-hour slow prove and is then fired in a wood-burning oven at over 400°C. Pizzas lead the menu, with the Verdure among them, and the toppings include San Marzano tomatoes and fior di latte mozzarella. Arancini sit alongside as a starter, and tiramisu is one of the desserts. The team serves guests at the table, and the restaurant is open daily. Walk-ins are taken, and bookings are available for groups and occasions. Diners can bring their own booze, and dogs are welcome. The restaurant also runs a Pizza Club with The Rex Cinema.

Customer Review Summary
Pizza is the draw for most reviewers, who call it delicious, with one praising a Verdure topped with added salami and another the carbonara pizza. Dough balls come close behind, and a birthday group ate them straight away. Arancini is also called delicious, and one diner recommends both the biscoff cheesecake and the tiramisu. Service comes up repeatedly, with servers described as friendly, warm and attentive, and one lunch visitor found the lunchtime deal good value. One reviewer describes the room as very airy, with doors that open up to the street, and another enjoyed sitting out front for people watching. The one complaint comes from a takeaway customer who found the wait for a chicken Caesar wrap quite long, though the server was lovely and as helpful as possible. One family describes a server who was great with their son, who had been feeling unwell, and a pizza that arrived super quick.

“Came in around lunchtime for a takeaway chicken Caesar wrap. Wait time was quite long, but the girl serving us was lovely and couldn’t help enough. Didn’t catch her name but she has her hair slicked back, and would return for her service alone.”

“Incredible. Very airy with the doors that open up to the street. I couldn’t believe how good the day was on this pizza. I also had arancini which was delicious. I visited with two of my colleagues who were astounded by the food. Thanks so much will definitely be visiting again!”

“I have eaten at other Wood Fire Smoke venues but this is the first time I’ve eaten at the Wilmslow venue, we took advantage of the lunch time deal which was good value, pizzas were delicious, service was good, our server had today was Ruby Q, and we sat out at the front which made for good people watching. We would definitely come here again.”
