Located at 11A Main St in the heart of Garforth, Leeds, 450 Degrees brings artisan pizza-making to life with a rustic charm and a fiery wood-fired oven that forms the soul of its offering. The 450 Degrees Menu focuses on simplicity done right-crisp, blistered sourdough bases paired with thoughtfully sourced ingredients that celebrate Italian authenticity with a local twist.
What immediately stands out about this pizzeria is the craftsmanship behind each pizza. From the classic Margherita with its creamy mozzarella and bright San Marzano tomato base, to their signature Truffle Mushroom pizza enriched with white truffle oil and wild mushrooms, the menu strikes a perfect balance between comfort and culinary sophistication. Their seasonal specials also showcase a creative flair-one recent highlight was a fig and prosciutto pizza finished with rocket and balsamic glaze.
Portion sizes are generous without being overwhelming, and the texture of the dough is particularly noteworthy: chewy with just the right amount of char. Vegan and gluten-free options are thoughtfully integrated into the menu, not treated as afterthoughts-a plus for diners with dietary restrictions.
Beyond pizza, the menu features antipasti boards, fresh salads, and a compact but well-curated dessert list, including a warmly recommended tiramisu. The beverage selection complements the food well, offering Italian wines, craft beers, and soft drinks with local appeal.
What sets 450 Degrees apart is its unwavering focus on quality and consistency. Unlike mass-market chains, every dish here feels hand-prepared with intention. The cozy interior, open kitchen, and attentive service further elevate the dining experience. For those seeking a genuine wood-fired pizza in a relaxed, welcoming setting, this Garforth gem more than delivers.
Whether you’re a local or visiting Leeds, this spot deserves a place on your dining itinerary.
