Hornby Island Bakery & Pizzeria

John is an absolute legend! Him and the staff created an amazing pizza for our family and friends. He tipped us off regarding a plan of a chocolate croissant for the next day and it lived up to the hype. Worth every shilling!

Had the pleasure of meeting John and the crew, the pizza was amazing! and so were the Dubai chocolate croissants! Johns story’s had us all laughing. Absolutely recommend!

John the owner is a master baker. The Dubai chocolate croissant is to die for. Also the cutest little spot to sit on a picnic bench and enjoy your treats

What an amazing experience! Jon open the store early for us and we bought the last one of the Dubai chocolate Croissant right out of the oven , he was telling us it was rhe first time he has made them and they were unbelievably delicious 😋 Thank you so much for making us a margarita pizza before opening hours as we had a ferry to catch. Would definitely recommend checking this place , fresh baked goods daily and the best homemade pizzas !!!

Amazing owner, and very cool history! We stopped by an hour before opening just to check out the store. Jon fired up the pizza oven over 3 hours early for us as we had to catch an early ferry off island! Super tasty sauce WOW! We also had to try one of his freshly baked that morning Dubai chocolate croissants which was incredible! Thanks Jon! 😀

We ordered the “oh hell ya” pizza which was fresh, hot and had great tasting ingredients. We got the 16 inch which was actually huge and a lot of food. The only thing is they did forget about our order so we ended up waiting a little over 30 minutes for our pizza. In addition it was approximately $50 for the pizza which was a bit more than I was expecting it to be. However, it is the island and I’m sure the ingredients are much more expensive. Just something to be aware of if you have a budget!

Horribly rude staff. Clearly a bunch of kids who don’t want to be there. Mismanaged and very unprofessional. Was told food would take 20 minutes which took 40 minutes and when asked how long it might take was told to sit down and wait for my name to be called. Not even slightly apologetic after taking double the time. Oh and after all the waiting the wings were grossly over seasoned. I get that it’s a pizza place, so maybe don’t order the wings?

We ordered wings and ribs here, were told it would take 20mins and ended up being 40 mins. They over seasoned the wings and put a lot of salt on it, so we returned them and left.

I would highly recommend calling ahead of time to order your pizza, and order for an earlier time than when you actually need it. I and several other customers were waiting for the pizzas for an hour and when asked about when the pizzas will be done, we weren’t given honest answers, if any answer. The pizza is tasty, albeit slightly over-floured, but nonetheless, definitely not worth the wait.

Best pizza I have ever tasted. The owner as well as staff are all wonderful. We always make a point to come for pizza when we are there and it always feels like it makes Hornby that much more wonderful!

Jon talked to us for 20 mins until our pizza was ready, he’s a great one to have associated with the island. Treasure him.
