Absolutely amazing pizzas, one of the best in the city! I particularly like their hot and spicy pizza, jam packed with flavours. Chicken tenders are a nice addition for nibbles, really love their parmesan ones. I've only ever done takeaways and they are always on time, delivered with a smile.

Called in tonight to give it a try and I was not disappointed, we had parmesan fries, Sirachia tenders, pepperoni pizza and the nduja pizza. Everything was fantastic fresh cooked and delicious,was also having a good chat with the owner and what a friendly person he is and certainly knows his way around the kitchen. Thank you

Ordered a garlic chicken pizza and spicy chips & salad yesterday and must say, this is by far one of the best pizzas and chips we’ve had. Did order a garlic sauce but wasn’t needed. Looks like we will be regulars now

I accidentally ordered the wrong item, but George went above and beyond to fix it. Not only did he make sure I got the right order, he even threw in a free pizza to make up for my mistake. The service was quick, friendly, and honestly one of the best customer experiences I’ve had. George is the GOAT!! Hands down best pizza in the north east

Looking for a local takeaway last night and recommended to try Farina. So glad we did! The owner, George, was very welcoming and friendly, with advice and suggestions. Pizza's freshly made using a sourdough base and taste fantastic! Also had a chicken burger which was delicious. Definitely recommend trying this new takeaway and great to be able to support a local business owner who cares about customers and the quality of the food, in a spotlessly clean premises. Thank you George, we will be back!

Tried recently for delivery and I’ve been really impressed the x2 times we’ve ordered. Delicious traditional style Italian pizzas that arrived hot, and one of the rare takeaways in Newcastle that does a good Parmesan! Definitely recommend
