Food is delicious, all the staff are lovely. Very authentic. They managed to fit us in without a reservation - very happy!

Went to this place the pizza is average as Leicester has lots of choice now. I read somewhere that they have no Food Hygiene Rating and was SHOCKED Maurizio’s not listed on the FSA website maybe they are exempt as a small unit. But somehow MyDelhi that opened a few months ago is registered on the Food Hygiene website. I think Maurizio’s will gain more respect if they register for the food hygiene rating because I for one would always only go to a eatery with a food hygiene rating.

Some of the finest pizza in Leicester. Each bite is as good as the last.

If you think italian, you must go there.

Always an amazing meal. The pizzas are easily the best in Leicester, if not the Midlands.

Ordered a pizza with no oregano as I am allergic to it and and the pizza had oregano. Asked kindly to remake my pizza but I was told that it was not possible. Nothing was even offered to reimburse the mistake.

Extraordinary experience! I highly recommend this place to go and try authentic Italian food :) staff is very helpful and friendly and the place is cosy and has this amazing Italian atmosphere ❤️ I felt like in Italy again! Thank you ?
Excellent pizzas plus a good range of pastas and side dishes that complement the mains. A good range of wines too, all Italian, so you will need to ask about them if the names are unfamiliar.Service is unobtrusive but good.A decent selection of vegetarian options. Can't recall vegan options.They'll box up any pizza you can't finish so you can enjoy it the next day too.Not the most accessible venue: tables are close together and the loo is quite small.Booking advised.

I dined at Maurizio's last night and was delighted by food, service and atmosphere. I will describe this fantastic dining experience below.I had Pizza Margherita accompanied by a glass of Montepulciano. The meal ended with a shot of Amaro. Pizza was light and ingredients were fresh and authentic. More importantly, food is made in front of you while you are waiting at the table. I myself make pizzas in my stone baked oven in Italy and could recall the authentic taste of Italian pizza. Pizza was delicious!Service was fantastic - Maurizio and staff looked after me and were very kind. Maurizio showed me the ingredients he used to make the doughs and also showed me the raising stages he goes through to make sure his pizzas won't disappoint customers. Waiters were attentive and courteous - they asked us if we were happy with food more than once.Atmosphere is unique - I do not remember other dining places that are so toasty and warm. Décor is crafted by Maurizio himself and the environment is rustic - simple yet fascinating furniture and tapestry with basic table utensils reminiscing Italian old fashioned rustic houses. A return to one of those idyllic small restaurants scattered across Southern Italy. Overall, it was a very pleasant evening, with great food and a beautiful atmosphere. I definitely recommend Maurizio's!

The food was very good, especially the pizza. You can feel the quality of the ingredients. As for the climate, the places in the basement are not encouraging. The table next to us was full of boxes, glasses, loose knives on the table, and cleaning supplies. A bit of order would be nice.

I had a nice time here. I called ahead a week ago to make a reservation for 12pm just in case ? owner was friendly. Food was really filling and yummy - I got tagliatelle salmone and tiramisu. Would definitely come again to try a different meal. ?
Really good
