PIZZERIA SANTANIELLO

Let’s talk about one of Bedford’s oldest and most loved restaurants, somewhere I’ve been going since I was little. Santaniello’s is a Bedford institution, having first opened it’s doors in 1980 and has been serving up authentic Italian pizza ever since.

Sometimes, things not changing can be a bad thing, but not here. It’s always been the same as long as I can remember, from the red painted windows, to the check tablecloths and the warm welcome. It is a place you can visit again and again, and still want to come back for more!

The menu is simple, with a great choice of delicious pizzas, plus there’s a delicious selection of calzone and specialty dishes cooked in the traditional clay oven. We always start our meal with the olives and breadsticks, swiftly followed by the main course and the salad.

The desserts are fantastic too, the profi teroles are huge and drenched in chocolate. I couldn’t resist the homemade Bisco cheesecake on my last visit, and it did not disappoint!

Santaniello’s has been providing the people of Bedford with delicious pizzas for 40 years, across 3 generations. Long may it continue!
