Cal's has moved again, but this time just across Jesmond to Acorn Road.

Harden's says

If you can forgive the pun, you'll find authentic Neapolitan pizza, cooked in the wood-fired oven (a Stefano Ferrara oven, hand built in Naples, no less) at this Jesmond pizzeria - for its first few years Cal's was in Heaton, but shifted in 2016.

Fans of this puntastic pizzeria may be going OTT when they hail it as “probably the best pizza in the UK”. But Jesmond-born former joiner Calvin Kitchin and his brother Kerry take their trade seriously – their “good-value pizzas” are accredited by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana and cooked in a wood-fired Stefano Ferrara oven imported from Naples.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
