Have you ever found yourself in a cool bar, a few drinks in, daydreaming about a hot snack, more substantial than a packet of crisps or a bowl of olives? At Nightcrawler Pizza (located inside The Merchant bar) this dream can come true. New York-style pizza slices are served out of a pizza kitchen up the side steps in the bar, which means you can stop for a drink or follow the smell of melted cheese and head straight in.

New York style pizza is perfect for a quick snack – thin crust in the middle, thicker on the side and the slices are big enough to fill you up if you’re peckish, two or three will do the job of a main meal. The menu is small but provides enough options to choose from – it’s pizza after all, you don’t want to mess with the classics too much. On the side you’ll find all of the usual condiments and a bench to perch on if you’d rather eat in than take away.

Nightcrawler Pizza is open every day from 12pm until late so whether you need to quickly refuel after a day of shopping or fancy a snack mid-bar crawl, this is the place.
