Voodoo Daddy's Pizza @ The Plasterers, Cowgate, Norwich

Voodoo Daddy had been appearing all over my Facebook feed and after reading the great reviews, I knew I had to give it a try. On Friday night, me and two friends ventured down to The Plasterers for a catch up over a few drinks and pizza - a great start to a bank holiday weekend!

The Plasterers has been redecorated and is a really lovely pub for a few drinks, just outside the bustle of the city centre for a Friday night. The Plasterers is also home to Voodoo Daddy's Pizza, providing a takeaway service alongside in-pub dining.

The menu offers a great variety of pizzas, with some seriously impressive toppings. Gluten free bases are also available, as well as 4 veggie options. If you are a fan of a margherita, then Voodoo Daddy may not be the place for you, as every pizza is topped with delicious sounding options (smoked cola bacon, 24 hr pulled pork, homemade garlic meatballs and even macaroni cheese!).

With a pint of cider in hand, we started the unenviable task of choosing which pizzas to have and quickly realised that in order to sample as many as possible, we should share (like Joey, we do not like to share food), but it was essential on this occasion!

After much deliberation, we decided on One Night in Paris (£8.50), Voodoo Double Cheeseburger (£9.50) and Return of the Mac (£9.50) accompanied by 3 dips at 60p each (BBQ, Ranch & Garlic Mayo). After a short wait, we were brought 3 boards covered in pizza.


The pizzas!

One Night in Paris had lots of delicious garlic, big chunks of mushroom, chicken and a homemade pesto. In my opinion, this pizza was overthrown by the other two options, but one of my dining companions liked this one the best. The pesto was a little too creamy for my taste - I was expecting an oily pesto drizzle. However, a mushroom fan would love this option.

Next up was the Voodoo Double Cheeseburger, featuring a blue cheese and tomato base with a double helping of garlic meatballs, bacon, onion, gherkins, jalapeños and a covering of american mustard. All the flavours of a cheeseburger on a pizza base is always going to be a winner for me and I would definitely have this one again. The homemade meatballs were amazing and pickly gherkins were a great touch, but the jalapeños were a little overpowering - if you aren't a fan of spice, I would ask for them to be removed.

Last up, but in no way least was the Return of the Mac. A pizza with macaroni cheese topping definitely had to be tried! Accompanied by pulled pork, 3 cheeses, jalapeños and smoked ketchup. The pizza / pasta combination was great and the pulled pork was really tasty and tender. However, this was slightly overpowered again by the jalapeños. Voodoo Daddy loves to add some spice to the pizzas, but this was a little much for me. Again, I would definitely have this pizza again, removing the jalapeños.

Return of the Mac, £9.50
The choice available is amazing; with a range of meat options, 4 veggie options (1 being Vegan friendly) and a few super hot pizzas for those wanting a challenge(!). There really is something for everyone and I will definitely be getting pizzas from here in future.

Food - 8.5/10 (0.5 lost for the jalapeños)
Service - 8/10 (order at the bar)
Atmosphere - 9/10 
Value for Money - 8/10
