The food was delicious, excellent pizza. I had a margarita, and my wife had mushroom and gorgonzola (and I had a slice of hers). Both were absolutely delicious, and not unreasonably priced. I did however take issue with ordering a black coffee and being presented with the worlds smallest espresso. There was so little coffee in the cup I don't think it would constitute a sip. You could collect all of the coffee on the end of a cotton bud and still have cottony room to spare. And £2.60 for a diet coke, to then be presented with a can, is a bit of a joke. Also, I feel the service could've been better. Wait staff did not check in at any point, and when it came to paying the bill they were very difficult about splitting the bill (there were 5 of us in the party and we wanted to pay seperately). The waitress was flummoxed, and then the chef told us to do our own maths if we wanted to pay separately. I am capable of addition, but surely it's not hard to split the bill for us if we ask.In a nutshell, food was great, but drinks were a bit scammy and service could've been better.

The food was fresh and delicious the portions were generous. I took my two kids (10 and 12) and they loved it too, taking left overs home. They were a staff member down and this was explained to us that things might take a little longer. Nearly every table was taken. The atmosphere was lovely and great selection of drinks too. When I'm in westgate on sea again, I will be visiting.

I’m Italian and can confirm pizza here is absolutely delicious, great menu and fresh ingredients, well done guys! Stopped here randomly over a weekend stay and I’m so glad I found this hidden gem. Great atmosphere and lovely staff, me and my wife arrived quite late yesterday evening for takeaway and everyone was really welcoming. I also had the dark ice chock ? so yummy ! We’ll be back for sure

Always good pizza and vibes! Great local pale ale too. We were served by Charlie who was amazing, very attentive and it was her first night working too!

We had a recent evening here and came back again the next week as we enjoyed it. Food is really nice.

Honestly the best pizza ever. This place seriously knows what they’re doing in terms of flavour. Wish I could go every night… pepperoni pizza is to die for and their tomato base is unmatched.

What a great little find! We popped in before the cinema one night and decided to come back again a few weeks later. Delicious pizzas, friendly service and great wines too! A new local favourite.

We went last night for the first time & it was superb. Great service, great food, ordered far to much but was able to take remaining pizzas home, posh pizza for breakfast it is then. ThanksVegetarian options: We aren’t vegetarian but some family members are & would be able to choose a few good options.

We have been to Hot Wood Pizza 40+ times, it is by far our favourite pizza place ever, and probably our favourite restaurant. The pizza is always outstanding, cooked to perfection with loads of toppings. The pepperoni, mascarpone & chilli honey pizza is my all time fave. We’ve tried to recreate it at home but it’s just never the same! Thanks for all the pizzas and parmesan salads guys, we love it!! ??Dietary restrictions: Pre-order for gluten free
What a lovely find this place is, amazing food, amazing staff and really good value, highly recommend,will be returning.

What a disappointment! Pizza are okay. The seating area was very cramped and the chairs extremely uncomfortable. The manger/owner didn't seem interested when I mentioned it. Overall it was an average meal although some friends loved their pizzas. But what upset us the most was the fact they didn't take cash! Running a business in these strange times is proving difficult. We were shocked at the owners attitude to this issue. Card payment or go...! So, go it is... shame as we eat in Westgate a lot and would make it a regular visit if he wasn't so rude and regimented. Our experience would have been far better without the manager.

Calm, good atmosphere, and a nice menu, slightly different from the norm. The place just makes you feel relaxed, great pizza.

Pizza consistently excellent. The green salad is enough for two, delicious!
