Pizzaway is a small take-away joint in Portree serving delicious stone baked pizzas, and a lifesaver on Sundays when most restaurants are either closed or fully booked and you are famished after a long hike.
We got the following pizzas:
1. The Highland Meat Feast - comprising haggis, bacon, pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms on a tomato mozzarella base.
2 The Glasrach (Gaelic for “vegetarian”) - comprising artichoke, olives, sweet bell peppers, sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms on a tomato mozzarella base.
Both were ready within 10 minutes of ordering, served fresh baked and piping hot, and tasted absolutely amazing even 15 minutes later when we had brought them back to our accommodation to eat.
Having eaten pizza from both of the highly rated places in Portree, I can honestly say that this one is the best.
First, the toppings are much more generous and plentiful. WAY more!
Second, the crust and pizza dough is much better. Appropriately browned on the stone, wonderfully crispy and yet perfectly foldable for that last bite of each slice.
Thirdly, service. You can call in an order and it will be ready for you in 10 minutes or less, right in the middle of town rather than having to drive to the edge of town.
Fourthly, they offer a gluten-free option as well as vegetarian options. And you could make up whatever vegetarian pizza you could imagine.
Lastly, and not least, there are more flavor combinations available and also any combination you can imagine. Again, way more than the other guy.
So don't let the lack of a reservation keep you from enjoying a great meal. Just make sure you get there before 7:30!
We drove through Portree in early April and decided to park the car and walk around the town to find lunch. There were so many places that were closed. We could only assume that maybe we were in slow season or just out of winter season for all these restaurants to be shut. Thankfully, Pizzaway was open.
But wait, pizza in this little town in Scotland? Honestly I wasn't expecting much. Boy was I wrong! We ordered the vegetarian pizza - it was ready in 10 minutes, and came out nice and hot, with tons of toppings. We sat outside and enjoyed the view while finishing every last bite.
100% recommend this little spot, the staff were super kind and friendly, the pie was fresh and delicious!
I wish I had a picture, but we inhaled this pizza so fast we forgot to take pics!!!
