600 Degrees — Hillside

Alright, if you're after cracking pizza in Southport, you need to know about 600 Degrees on Hillside. It’s got a stonking 4.9 stars out of 5 on Google from 77 reviews, so it’s not just me saying it's good. They do proper Neapolitan-style pizzas, cooked in a wood-fired oven. You know, the kind with the slightly charred crust and the soft, chewy base. They're dead serious about the ingredients too.

It's a pretty relaxed place, suits both families and couples I reckon. Not massive, which is part of its appeal. It can get busy, especially on a Friday or Saturday night, so definitely ring ahead on 01704 331340 to book a table if you’re planning a weekend visit. They’re closed Mondays, Tuesdays and Sundays, and only open evenings Wednesday to Saturday.

They do have a website if you want to see the menu — it's 600-degrees.co.uk. You'll find them right on Hillside, easy to get to.

Parking on Hillside itself can be a bit of a mare, especially when it's busy. Try the side streets, but give yourself a bit of time to find a spot.
