Bellucci Surrey Quays is an Italian pizzeria and restaurant at 27 Plough Way. Founded by a Sicilian restaurateur, it draws on regional recipes and carefully selected Italian ingredients while maintaining the relaxed feel of a neighbourhood dining room. A covered garden, large tables and extra large pizzas make it particularly comfortable for families and groups.
Starters range from tomato bruschetta, fried calamari and beef meatballs in tomato sauce to Sicilian caponata with aubergine, peppers, olives, capers and pine nuts. A sharing platter combines cured meats, buffalo mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, olives and house bread. Seafood soup brings prawns, mussels, clams, squid and cod together in a tomato and white wine broth.
The pasta selection includes spaghetti carbonara, tagliatelle with tomato, meatballs or other sauces, lasagne and seafood spaghetti. Casarecce with Sicilian pistachio pesto and prawns offers a richer regional combination. Saffron risotto with Italian sausage and porcini mushroom risotto broaden the main dishes beyond pasta, with vegetarian and vegan choices clearly represented.
Pizza is available on traditional, whole wheat and charcoal dough, with gluten free bases also offered while the kitchen is clear about cross contact. Extra large pizzas can be divided between two toppings for sharing. Italian desserts and coffee provide a familiar finish, and the restaurant’s catering service extends its pizza and pasta cooking to private celebrations and corporate events.
