• Pizzeria • Norwich

We are a small family business in Norwich, but our love for pizza began long before we arrived here.Our journey started back in 1980, in a little kiosk in Italy called “Panino Pizza”, where our family discovered a lifelong passion for pizza and italian street food.What began as a humble "chiosco" grew into a cozy restaurant in Italy and in 2016, brought us to Norwich with a dream to continue our tradition.For over 50 years, Mamma has poured her heart into perfecting every recipe—stretching the dough by hand, crafting rich sauces, and baking pizzas with patience and love. Her dedication is the secret behind every bite at Saporita.Today, we proudly serve pizza by the slice baked in a pan, along with freshly made focaccia, panzerotto, piadina, and generous Italian taglieri. At Saporita, our passion for pizza lives in every slice, offering a true taste of Italy in the warm, welcoming heart of Norwich.“The Passion for Pizza, from Italy to Norwich”

    A fantastic experience; food, service and professionalism. I'd highly recommend the White Swan if you're looking for a great meal at a sensible price. We ordered the Lamb & Mint pie as well as the Pork Belly main meals; probably the best we've had for many a long day.

    Been here once before for a Saturday ladies wit lunch meal and that was amazing so this time decided to do the wells to stiffkey marsh walk to try their Sunday lunch. Im not a huge pub Sunday lunch lover as they always seem to promise a lot and not deliver that much flavour BUT OMG you definitely cannot say this about The Red Lion at Stiffkey, absolutely every mouthful of my roast pork belly with trimmings was an explosion of flavour, rich, tasty, different vegetables to std and just an absolute delight to eat - made the walk even more worth it!!! Fantastic.

    Booked a table for my daughter's birthday, having randomly stumbled across the Dabbling Duck when looking for a dog friendly pub/restaurant somewhere between King's Lynn and Norwich. The reviews looked good, and we were not disappointed! The village of Great Massingham is delightful and quaint, with a lovely duck pond at the centre. The Dabbling Duck is in the village centre and is a lovely, welcoming building with lovely, helpful staff. The whole venue is very dog friendly, not too noisy, plenty for keeping kids amused, and there was a good choice of drinks, including some nice cocktails. But the main attraction was the food - good size portions, good choice and the Sunday roasts were amazing! Really tasty with locally sourced meat - full of flavour and very tender. Was very impressed. Not cheap pub food, but high quality and good value for what you got. Was very impressed.
