The Biga+ is an independent food venue at 67 Walmgate in York. Its name points to biga, the Italian pre-ferment used to develop flavour and texture in its pizza dough, and the compact setting suits both a casual meal and food to take away.
Pizza is made in a rectangular al taglio style on dough fermented for an extended period. Tomato, mozzarella and basil provide a classic starting point, while toppings such as nduja, pepperoni, mushrooms and smoked aubergine bring richer or more distinctive combinations.
Arancini, garlic buns and other Italian-inspired small dishes expand the choice beyond pizza. Cannoli and other sweet options provide a natural finish, with coffee and cold drinks available alongside the food.
The counter-led format makes it practical for a quick Walmgate lunch, an afternoon stop or an informal shared order. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should ask staff about current toppings, dough ingredients and preparation procedures before ordering.
Address: 67 Walmgate, York YO1 9TZ, England
