A Pizza place in Pembrokeshire has been named among the best in the UK by some of the country's top chefs.
The best places to grab a slice have been revealed in a list of the top 50 pizza places in the UK compiled by The Times and the country's best pizza chefs.
Introducing the list, The Times journalist Hannah Evans said: "You just have to walk through a city today to see how much pizza in the UK has moved on.
"Neapolitan is still popular, but chain restaurants have lost their shine (Franco Manca has 70 restaurants now).
"Foodies are seeking out independent pizza restaurants and bakers who experiment with their fermentation and flours.

"Right now, the pizza everyone wants a slice of is the newly coined “London style”, a mashup of NY style and Neapolitan, served at Patio Pizza and Dough Hands. Think saucy pizza with a very thin base and experimental toppings.
"We’ve seen the rise of destination pizzerias in unexpected places, such as Chatsworth Bakehouse in Crystal Palace, where people queue all morning for their pizza sandwiches.
"Plus, the rise of collaborations between pizza chefs and restaurants means you’re never just eating a margherita."
