Pizzeria Mamma Mia

If you're after a decent pizza on Lord Street, Pizzeria Mamma Mia is a solid bet. It gets a 4.4 out of 5 on Google from nearly 600 reviews, which says something. It’s not the cheapest mind you, probably around ££, but you get what you pay for. They do all the usual Italian stuff – pasta, pizza, the works – but I reckon they're best for pizza.

It’s a pretty relaxed place; I’d say it works well for both families and couples. It can get busy, especially Friday and Saturday when they’re open till 10pm. Sunday’s a no-go, though, they’re closed all day.

It's easy enough to find on Lord Street itself. Give them a ring on 01704 540259 if you're thinking of going on a Friday or Saturday night; might be worth booking a table to save yourself a wait. Check their website mammamiasouthport.co.uk for the full menu.
