We know there’s great pizza in Leicester, but this is a spot that needs to be on your radar. 

Pizza Sofia is located on Belvoir Street in the former Maurizio’s restaurant. They’re serving up delicious Neapolitan style cuisine and it’s excellent value for money. 

📸Pictured

Starters:
Golden Pillow - crispy fried gnocchi with 24-month San Daniele prosciutto and whipped ricotta 
Raw Deal - IGP beef carpaccio with rocket, shaved parmesan and lemon olive oil

Pizzas:
Holy Crust - San Marzano tomato, Italian sausage, roasted mushrooms and smoked mozzarella
Burrata Dreams - San Marzano tomato, creamy burrata, mortadella and roasted pistachio crumb
Special - Special of the week with Italian sausage and broccoli

The pizzas are around £10 which is superb value for money. They also offer a small selection of pasta dishes.

PLUS at lunchtime (12pm - 5pm)they offer a £5 folded “pizza wallet”, like you’d find if grabbing lunch in Naples. 

Yassein, the chef and owner, is from Perugia and has set up Pizza Sofia after being head chef at other Italian restaurants.

[invite] @pizza_sofia_ is now open on Belvoir Street. They are serving up freshly made Italian pizzas and pastas, with seasonal produce straight from Leicester market. 

This family owned restaurant has a cosy vibe with super-friendly service and a tasty food and drink selection. 

Here’s what we sampled: 
🍞 Bread Pitt - Warm homemade bread selection, sourdough focaccia, brioche, Tuscan olive oil and aged balsamic.

🫒 Olive Me Tender - Selection of marinated Italian olives
🍕 The Italian Job - Fior di latte, beef carpaccio, rocket, fig marmalade and parmesan shavings.
🍟 Truffle Hustle - Crispy fries dusted with parmesan and truffle seasoning.
🍝 Nonna’s Secret - Slow-braised beef ragù tagliatelle finished with parmesan and basil oil. 

We thought the food was great and really loved the pizza 🍕😍The prices are really good value too. They have a pizza wallet for £5 at lunch time so we’ll need to get back to give that a try! 

Would you order a pizza or pasta?

🍕✨ Amazing experience at @pizza_sofia_ ✨🍝

We tried the Saint Marzano pizza and Nonna’s Secret pasta, and both were absolutely delicious! 😍 The pizza was packed with flavour, beautifully prepared, and the pasta was rich, comforting and full of authentic Italian flavours. 🇮🇹❤️

A special mention to the amazing team and service— we received such a super warm welcome from the moment we walked in. 😊 The staff were friendly, attentive and made us feel genuinely looked after throughout our visit.

The **ambiance inside is lovely** too — cosy, welcoming and beautifully suited to a relaxed meal, right in the **heart of Leicester city centre**. 🥰✨

Definitely a place we would recommend if you’re looking for fresh  delicious pizza and pasta, great service and a lovely atmosphere. 🍕🍝❤️

🍕 NEW PIZZA SPOT IN LEICESTER 🍕🇮🇹

Leicester has a brand new spot for authentic Neapolitan pizza and after heading down to @pizza_sofia_ grand opening on Thursday, this is definitely one to have on your radar 👀 {PR Invite}

Pizza Sofia is all about bringing a true taste of Naples to Leicester, with three generations of pizzaioli behind the concept and pizzas made using traditional techniques and fresh ingredients🇮🇹🍕

The grand opening started exactly how it should… with an Aperol in hand 🍹 and complimentary starters doing the rounds before we got onto the main event.

🍕 Margherita - you can’t go wrong with a classic. San Marzano tomato, fior di latte mozzarella, fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil.

🍄 Truffle Mushroom Pizza - rich, creamy and definitely the one for the truffle lovers.

And obviously an Italian feast couldn’t end without tiramisu🤎

I love seeing new independents opening in Leicester, especially when there’s a real family story and tradition behind the food.

📍 Pizza Sofia, Belvoir Street, Leicester City Centre
