Flint Pizza
An independent restaurant and takeaway on Chillingham Road serving authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizza cooked in around 90 seconds.
About Flint Pizza
Flint Pizza is an independent restaurant and takeaway at 218A Chillingham Road in Heaton, a suburb in the east of Newcastle upon Tyne. It specialises in authentic Neapolitan-style pizza, the traditional pizza of Naples, and sits among the independent food businesses that line Chillingham Road, Heaton's main shopping street. The same team is behind the nearby Burt's burger restaurant on Heaton Road, making Flint part of a small local group that has become closely associated with the area's casual dining scene in east Newcastle.
The kitchen focuses on classic Neapolitan pizza, cooked quickly at high heat in the traditional manner. Alongside sit-in dining, the restaurant offers takeaway and online ordering, takes group booking enquiries and sells gift vouchers, making it a flexible option for both quick meals and larger gatherings. Its tight, pizza-led offering fits the pattern of focused independents that have given Chillingham Road its food reputation, and it works in tandem with its sister burger restaurant to draw diners to this part of Heaton.
