Maurizio's Restaurant: Menu, Opening Hours and Info

One of the best things to come out of lockdown was the rise of Maurizio with his fantastic traditional Neopolitan pizza. Now, he’s moving to a permanent restaurant in Leicester city centre.

Here’s all the need to know information.

Maurizio’s is located at 40-42 Belvoir Street in the former Youngs Camera Shop and Haycock & Tailbar site, and the new restaurant will be opening on Thursday 17 March. The restaurant has a very homely feel, designed by Maurizio and his wife to represent a traditional Italian restaurant. There are 2 floors of seating, with the downstairs also perfect to hire for a party with your own bar space.

Maurizio’s will be open Monday – Saturday from 12: 30pm – 2.30pm for lunch and then from 5.30pm – 9.30pm for dinner, before closing at 10.30pm.

The menu features all of your favourites from the takeaway site.
