Sanco | authentic Neapolitan pizza concept in Newcastle upon Tyne

NO MENU.
NO LIMITS.
JUST PIZZA.

HOW IT WORKS

Turn on the light at your table, and one of our team of pizza enthusiasts will promptly bring over a slice...don't ask us what it will be, this is pizza roulette!

You keep that light on, the pizza keeps coming! When you're feeling full, switch off the light to take a break or to signal that you're done.

Our pizzaiolos will be hand-crafting some well-known favourites alongside some wildcards during your visit - rumour has it that one of them puts pineapple on their pizzas...

AUTHENTIC NEAPOLITAN PIZZA

FROM NAPLES TO NEWCASTLE

PIZZA IS AT
THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO

AND AUTHENTICITY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY.

That’s why our pizzaiolos train with the masters at AVPN Napoli - experts in true Neapolitan pizza - ensuring every slice is crafted with genuine tradition and passion. Recognised under UNESCO World Heritage, Neapolitan pizza follows four essential steps, from dough preparation to wood-fired baking with a signature rotatory technique. This unmatched authenticity is what Sanco proudly brings to your plate, honouring the tradition AVPN has protected since 1984.

At the centre of it all is our impressive Gozney® Napoli Elite wood-fired oven, where the magic truly happens. During your visit, don’t hesitate to chat with our pizzaiolos - they might even invite you to try your hand at the peel and experience the craft first-hand!
