Baffi Neapolitan Pizza sits on Southbourne Grove, the high street of this clifftop suburb east of Bournemouth town centre. It's the local branch of a small, family-run Neapolitan pizza group whose other sites are in Canford Cliffs, Westbourne, Poole and Portswood.
The pizza
Everything follows the Neapolitan model: wood-fired oven, slow-risen sourdough base, and toppings that stay close to tradition, with fior di latte, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil and olive oil. Gluten-free and vegan diners are catered for too, which makes it a fair pick for groups with varied dietary needs. Exact dishes and prices, as at any restaurant, are best confirmed on the day via the Baffi website or a phone call.
Booking and takeaway
Online booking is available at Baffi Southbourne, and there's a takeaway service, with Deliveroo delivery operating outside the usual sit-down hours. The restaurant opens Wednesday to Friday in the evening and from midday across the weekend, and is closed on Monday and Tuesday, worth remembering if you're fitting a visit around a beach day.
Location
You'll find it at 61 Southbourne Grove, BH6 3QU, on the parade of shops, cafés and restaurants that forms the centre of Southbourne. The clifftop gardens and the beach beneath are just a few minutes' walk away, so pizza and an afternoon on the sand go together easily.
