Book your table nowAt City Picnic, every great pizza starts with the dough—and ours is no ordinary base. We use a handcrafted sourdough, fermented for a minimum of 48 hours, allowing natural yeast to slowly develop deep flavour, airy texture, and that signature crispy-chewy bite. This slow fermentation not only enhances the taste, but also makes the dough lighter and easier to digest.
Made fresh, each sourdough base is rolled and shaped by hand, giving every pizza its own rustic, artisan character. The result? A golden, blistered crust that’s crispy on the outside, pillowy on the inside and full of flavour in every bite. Whether you go for the smoky, BBQ-loaded Sticky Pig, Piri Piri Chicken, or a classic Margherita, you’ll taste the difference that time, care, and real sourdough make.
Hand-stretched, slow-fermented, and baked fresh every time. Looking for the best sourdough pizza (and crust!) in Belfast? Drop by City Picnic and discover why our dough is the heart and soul of every slice.

We don’t settle for ordinary when it comes to flavour. Our pizzas are made with Rodolfi 1896 San Marzano tomatoes, certified DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) for guaranteed origin and authenticity. Grown in the volcanic soil of Southern Italy, these tomatoes deliver a rich, naturally sweet flavour with balanced acidity—no additives, no compromise.
Spread generously from edge to edge—yes, even near the crust—our sauce brings bold, vibrant Italian flavour to every bite. Experience the gold standard of tomato sauce

What’s pizza without the perfect cheese pull? At City Picnic, we use only fresh mozzarella — the creamiest, stretchiest, most satisfying melt you’ll ever taste.
Each pizza is layered with this indulgent cheese, our signature San Marzano tomato base, and the finest toppings — from smoky pulled pork and crispy chorizo to fire-roasted peppers and fresh basil.
And don’t forget the crust — it soaks up every last drop of sauce and cheese for a finish that’s just as good as the first bite.
At City Picnic, we don’t do average — we do seriously good pizza, crust and all.
