About the restaurant

We founded Pizza on the Square out of a deep love for real food, for food that is fresh and authentic.

The restaurant offers a range of pizzas, cocktails and fine wines.

Pizza on the Square is located right beside Belfast City Hall at 1 Donegall Square West. You literally can’t get any more central than that. The Scottish Provident Building is a stone's throw from the city's key bus and train networks.
