Gracey's Pizza

This is excellent New Haven style pizza and rare to find in the UK. I can't recommend these guys enough and I'd absolutely suggest you eat in. I ordered delivery and after the first slice you lose some of the texture and temperature you need to enjoy this. The pesto swirl is fantastic and fairly priced. I will say with delivery and the limitation of the size of pizza means you are paying a premium price, then again this is a premium product. Portnoy would be proud, 8.3/10. Everyone knows the rules!

Went to Gracey's yesterday and honestly, it was one of the best pizza experiences I’ve had! We started with their special garlic bread with chillies... the vibrant red look of it was out of this world, and the taste completely beats every cheesy garlic bread I’ve ever had. Then came the pizzas… we ordered 3 of the largest ones we could get our hands on, and wow. Each slice held straight with every bite (no flop!), the base was perfectly crispy, the tomato sauce was rich and full of flavour, and the cheese was layered just right. We even asked for chillies on the Margherita, and it was an absolute hit. Gracey's nailed it... amazing food, amazing quality. Definitely my new go-to pizza spot! 🍕🔥

We drove all the way down from Yorkshire just to try the pizzas we ordered 4 off the app and another one in person because they were THAT GOOD 💯 but what was the best surprise was the super friendly and highly professional young team that not only made us feel welcomed but the kitchen staff cooked some of the best pizza we have eaten. It may have taken all day to do this but we will definitely be back.

More than lives up to the hype!. Absolutely brilliant tasting pizzas that are clearly made with much more love than the mainstream competitors (and similarly priced!). There’s a few seats inside and the staff are super friendly. We didn’t expect any table service but they brought us cutlery, paper plates and served the pizzas to our table!. Drinks were also cheap (we’ve been to many a place in the centre of St Albans with similar soft drinks and paid 3 times more!) Also definitely give the dips and Burrata cheese a go if you like mozzarella in general! Will definitely be back again!!

I think this is the best New Haven style pizza I’ve ever had. Excellent customer service and you can pull up just outside to collect your order. Music is on point in there too. (The picture is from the first time around but the pepperoni was different the second time I went. Smaller pieces but more on it.)

Gracey’s Pizza – St Albans Review Location & Atmosphere (4/5) Tucked away on a quiet parade in St Albans, Gracey’s Pizza is the definition of a hidden gem—blink and you’ll miss it. Small, charming, and with room for just 10 diners inside, it has that cosy, independent vibe. Pro tip: Book your pizza (or dough) in advance. Like many independents these days, once they’re out of dough, that’s it. I got lucky with a 45-minute wait, but walk-ins behind me were turned away. Annoying? Maybe. But it’s part of supporting small-batch, quality-focused spots. The Pizza (4/5) I went for the Marg (12”), marketed as New Haven style. Now, what makes a pizza “New Haven”? Think of it as New York’s thinner, slightly charred cousin—meant to have a light dusting of cheese, a bit of chew, and those signature charred spots. • Gracey’s version leaned more thin and crunchy than chewy, but honestly—who cares about strict authenticity when it tastes this good? • There was a nice slight char, a crispy base, and the sauce and toppings were solid. • It wasn’t a mind-blowing, life-changing pizza, but it was a damn good one—the kind you’d be grateful to have as a local option. Value for Money (4/5) At £12, it’s fairly priced for an artisan-style pizza with quality ingredients. If you’re local, it’s a no-brainer. For those travelling in, it’s worth it—just not a weekly pilgrimage. Drinks (1/5) Quick side note: the non-alcoholic beer was dreadful—easily the worst I’ve had. Avoid it entirely. Overall Rating: 4/5 Gracey’s Pizza delivers a tasty, well-made pizza in a cosy, no-frills setting. Whether or not it ticks every box for a true New Haven style doesn’t really matter—what counts is that it’s good pizza. If you’re local, you’re lucky. If you’re travelling from London, it’s worth a visit—but pre-book and manage expectations around wait times. Would I return? Yes—but I’ll plan ahead next time.

Incredible Pizza. There are a few tables and we went early to make sure we could grab a seat. Pre ordered pizza were put on when we arrived to ensure it was as fresh as can be when it arrived at our table. Thin and crispy, beautiful charred crusts and dynamite toppings. Stop reading this and go already!

Really nice service from the team. Interesting selection of drinks. And the pizza is clearly made with passion and high quality ingredients, one of the best I've tried. The special garlic bread is a spicy delight even on a warm day!
