If you’re on the hunt for authentic Italian wood-fired pizza in Leeds — one that honours tradition, ingredients and real flavour — then LIVIN’Italy is the place to be. Located under the railway arches of Granary Wharf, this Italian restaurant, deli and bar brings a genuine slice of Italy to the heart of Leeds city centre.

A Genuine Italian Party in the Pizza Oven

At LIVIN’Italy, the pizza is treated with reverence. We highlight our commitment to “the most authentic pizza experience” in Leeds — built on quality ingredients, traditional Italian recipes and a kitchen that knows its craft.

Signature pizzas include our “Royal Margy” (anchovies, creamy Burrata mozzarella, fresh basil and grated Parmesan) and the “Smoked Alaskan” — Stracciatella mozzarella, wild Alaskan smoked salmon and pickled onions.

For those who prefer a twist, there’s the “Spicy Truffle Northerner”, which features a pumpkin cream base, Calabrian ‘nduja sausage, gorgonzola, and is finished with shaved Italian truffle.

The Atmosphere: Where Italy Meets Leeds

You’ll find LIVIN’Italy in a distinctive setting — beneath railway arches, overlooking the Leeds–Liverpool Canal in Granary Wharf. The décor mixes rustic Italian charm with modern warmth, while the canal-side location adds relaxed urban energy.

It’s not just a “pizza place” — it’s a full Italian dining destination: deli shelves, cocktails, wine selections and spaces suitable for both casual lunches and evening meals.

Why the Pizza Stands Out

• Authentic ingredients: High-quality mozzarella, fresh toppings, anchovies, truffle shavings — no compromises or shortcuts.
• Creative yet rooted: While we honour classics, we also explore inventive flavours (salmon, truffle, pumpkin cream base) without losing the Italian soul.
• Dietary mindful: Vegan and vegetarian options are clearly marked. The menu also indicates having “plant-based mozzarella” and toppings suitable for those diets.
• Setting and experience matter: The location, ambience and the pizza-craft are all part of the offering — it’s more than a quick slice.

How to Make the Most of It

• Go with the flow: Maybe choose one of the signature pizzas above to sample the full flavour profile.
• Try something off-beat: If you’re comfortable with bold toppings, the Spicy Truffle Northerner is a fun, premium option.
• Vegan or veggie? Ask for plant-based mozzarella and choose from the “Make Your Own” option with toppings like wild mushrooms, olives, and pickled onions.
• Reservations: Particularly for evenings or when you have a group, the Granary Wharf setting means it gets some footfall.
• Pairing: While pizza is front and centre, don’t ignore the wine and drinks menu — the Italian-deli-bar vibe means you can stay awhile.
