Zizzi Newcastle is an Italian restaurant at 42 Grey Street in Newcastle city centre. Its open plan dining room and upbeat atmosphere suit family meals, groups and convenient pre-theatre dining close to the Theatre Royal.
Pizza and pasta anchor the menu, with classic ideas joined by seasonal toppings, sauces and baked dishes. Current specials add choices such as crab and lemon arancini, chicken Milanese and large Rustica pizzas to the familiar Italian format.
Starters and salads work well for sharing or building a lighter meal, while desserts and gelato keep the experience informal and sociable. Cocktails, coolers, wine and soft drinks provide pairings for both lunch and later evening visits.
