Just Pizza & Pasta, located on the scenic quay in Douglas, is a true celebration of Italian culinary craft brought to life through simplicity, authenticity, and a deep love of great food. This is Pizza Pasta's second location, after previously being located further into the high street. You'll be sure to get a laugh out of the head waiter also Frazer. With its laid-back warehouse-style interior, open kitchen, and rustic wooden benches made from reclaimed church pews, this family-friendly restaurant offers a relaxed and welcoming environment perfect for anything from a casual lunch to a cosy evening meal. The most authentic Italian on the Isle of Man by far, the only thing is, the Talented chef Marco is a Roma fan.
As the name proudly suggests, Just Pizza & Pasta focuses on doing two things — and doing them exceptionally well. Their motto is all about keeping the menu short, honest, and delicious. Here you’ll find fresh, flavourful dishes rooted in authentic Italian tradition, brought to life with locally sourced ingredients and prepared by a passionate team of chefs, many of whom hail from Italy themselves.
The pizzas at Just Pizza & Pasta are a point of pride and arguably some of the best you’ll find on the Isle of Man. Baked in professional gas and wood-burning ovens handcrafted by Forni Ceky, a renowned Italian oven maker with three generations of experience, every pizza is a labour of love. The dough is a hybrid sourdough-yeast blend, proofed for over 48 hours to create a light, airy crust that is cooked at an intense 500°C. The result? A pizza that’s crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and full of rich, savoury flavour.
The pasta menu is equally well-crafted, offering a rotating selection of traditional and creative dishes that showcase the diversity of Italian cuisine — all made with care and attention to detail. Fresh salads, antipasti, and classic sauces complement the core menu and offer something for everyone, whether you're craving comfort or something light and bright.
For those in a rush or wanting to enjoy their meal at home, the restaurant offers both takeaway and something totally unique on the island — a 24-hour pizza vending machine right outside the front door. Stocked with restaurant-quality handmade pizzas (including some all-time customer favourites), it means you can grab a delicious pizza any time of the day or night, 7 days a week.
To complete the experience, Just Pizza & Pasta offers a range of desserts, Italian wines, and craft beers to enjoy either in-house or with your takeaway. Whether you’re dining in with friends, grabbing something on the go, or even picking up a midnight snack from the vending machine, this Douglas hotspot makes sure high-quality, delicious food is always within reach.
In short, Just Pizza & Pasta is all about delivering real Italian food, made simply and served with pride — just as it should be.
