Little Furnace Wood Fired Pizza is an independent pizzeria at 178 Smithdown Road in Liverpool. Founded by friends Ryan and Peter after a trip to Sicily, it grew from a small mobile oven into a permanent neighbourhood restaurant.
The kitchen specialises in Neapolitan pizza with a soft, airy crust rather than a thin and crisp base. Its dough ferments for an extended period before being cooked quickly in the intense heat of a wood fired oven.
Traditional combinations sit alongside a wider selection of toppings and a dedicated vegan menu. Gluten free dough is made on site at the Smithdown Road restaurant and can be requested in advance, giving more diners access to the pizzeria’s style.
Italian beers, cocktails, wine and soft drinks round out a relaxed pizza meal. Little Furnace also offers takeaway and local delivery, though the pizzas are designed to be enjoyed as fresh from the oven as possible.
Address: 178 Smithdown Road, Liverpool L15 3JR, England
